Chapter 460 Wishing to Slap Her The last vestiges of color faded from Olivia's face, and her eyes went wide with disbelief.
She had thought Selena was easy to bully, but she didn't expect this woman to be so eloquent! She couldn't refute a single sentence! And people around were already starting to whisper. "I've been wanting to say this for a long time. Olivia's behavior is indeed that of a mistress." "And she's even flaunting her necklace in front of the original wife; isn't that cheap?" "The Stone family isn't any big deal; what is she showing off for?" Olivia felt as if she was about to collapse. She couldn't help but glare at Selena with deep resentment.
This ugly creature dared to ridicule her like this?! Despicable! Damnable! She was barely holding on, wishing she could slap her right now! But she had to endure.
At the critical moment, Madam Montague spoke up, actually trying to help Olivia out of her predicament.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Enough, we're here tonight to appraise the paintings; why are we talking about these unnecessary things?" Madam Montague chuckled lightly while looking at the appraiser.
The appraiser cleared his throat a few times, attracting everyone's attention.
Olivia stood there, feeling incredibly embarrassed and awkward.
The last tMr. Montague Sr. had chastised her, it was at Ashbourne Manor, so at least no one knew about it. But now, this ugly creature was embarrassing her in front of so many people. She was absolutely furious! Taking a deep breath, she had to find an opportunity to get back at her! Meanwhile, at the long table, the appraiser had already begun to examine the paintings closely.
After observing for ten minutes, he looked at both paintings and then glanced at Olivia.
"Miss Stone's painting is the real one, and the torn one is a fake." Selena raised an eyebrow; this result was within her expectations.
As soon as the appraiser finished speaking, Madam Montague stood up.
"Selena, do you have anything else to say?" In fact, it was quite embarrassing for Madam Montague to make such a fuss as an elder. But it would be even more embarrassing if she went to court.
Since Mr. Montague Sr. didn't cout to resolve the issue, she wanted to utterly destroy Selena's reputation tonight and deal a blow to Mr. Montague Sr.'s pride! Selena sneered. "What do I have to say? I say that you bought this appraiser off." Madam Montague was almost amused by her anger. How shameless! Trying to win her favor with a fake painting, and when she was exposed, she was so angry that she sued her. Such a person actually married into the Montague family? She was a disgrace to the nMontague! She didn't want to see her anymore, out of sight, out of mind. "Guards! Throw her out! I want her to never set foot in New York in her life!" As soon as her voice fell, Selena looked at her lightly. "Madam Montague, I also brought an appraiser. Surely it can't just be your appraiser who has the final say, right?" Madam Montague's chest heaved violently, "I'd like to see what your appraiser has to say!" As soon as her voice fell, a man walked in from outside the door. This man had a small beard, although he was old, his steps were light, and his hands were behind his back. Before he appeared, people at the scene had already started to discuss Selena. They said she was pretending and trying to act high and mighty with fake paintings.
But when Selena's appraiser appeared, everyone shut their mouths. The one who cin was Mr. Butler himself. The Mr. Butler! Everyone knew that Mr. Butler rarely made public appearances and disliked interviews; he was truly a recluse. When Madam Montague saw Mr. Butler, she froze, thinking she must have seen wrong.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMr. Butler smiled at those around him, then strolled leisurely with his hands behind his back to the two paintings.
Madam Montague was somewhat excited, "How did you cto New York, Mr. Butler? I hadn't heard anything about it." Mr. Butler still smiled at her, but there was a noticeable chill in his eyes.
"I'm only here for a day; I'll be catching a planen. I didn't expect to stumble upon such a ΕΠ: spectacle."
Madam Montague breathed a sigh of relief, "Your timing is perfect; this woman tried to fool us with a fake painting. Now that you're here to personally appraise it, it'll be more convincing." After saying this, she coldly stared at Selena, as if she were eagerly anticipating that Selena would begin begging for mercy. Mr. Butler also glanced at Selena.
Selena stood in place, her back still straight.
Everyone was urging Mr. Butler.
"Mr. Butler, please take a look." "Yes, using your fake painting is really too much."
Mr. Butler only looked for a few seconds, but in that short tm smiles had already surfaced on the faces of Madam Montague and Olivia. Even the bodyguard had already cto Selena's side, ready to throw her out.
