Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 670

Chapter 670 I Will Keep Your Secret for You

Tiana froze.

Elise must be kidding. She had seen those paintings in person before stuffing them into the safe. There wasn’t an ‘Ink Peonies’.

Could it be that Elise didn’t hand over all of SQ’s paintings that day but kept a few to herself?

Oh, Elise is cunning. She reckoned Elise was betting on the fact that SQ was old and had a bad memory, so they wouldn’t find out even if one or two paintings were missing, so she deliberately kept some to enrich herself.

However, Tiana pretended to be SQ to take the paintings away since she didn’t know how many genuine artworks there were. After everything she had done, it had backfired and Elise was now taking advantage of it.

Tiana found such actions a little distasteful at the thought of it. She had also taken SQ’s painting, but she was always worried and did not dare to show the artwork to other people, but Elise was openly using it to win favors.

How shameless. No one rivals her when it comes to this.

However, it had gotten to this point, so she couldn’t expose Elise. All she could do was explain with a smile, “SQ has been repeatedly creating the same painting in the past few years, sometimes even painting five to six of the same ones within a year. So, it’s really difficult to tell the specific time they created the artwork.”

“Oh, it seems like SQ quite values perfection.” Elise chuckled mockingly.

She hadn’t touched a brush for several years, but such a colossal lie was being told. It was indeed hard for Tiana to make up a new lie now.

Jonas was a clever person too. He sensed that something wasn’t right at once, so he quickly stepped forward to mediate the situation.

“Hahaha… If that’s the case, then this is the end of the matter today. Thank you, Miss Sinclair and Miss Hill, for solving my predicament today. I’m ecstatic to be able to get a new piece done by SQ. As for the details, there’s no need to pursue it anymore.

“Everyone, please continue to drink and enjoy yourselves in the garden. I will immediately frame this ‘Ink Peonies’ and put it back in place for exhibition. Please look forward to it.”

Since the commotion had ended and the host had spoken up, there was no reason for everyone to stay gathered, so they dispersed.

When everyone was almost gone, Jonas took the initiative to walk toward Alexander and apologize.

“Mr. Griffith, if I’ve offended you today, please don’t take it to heart. I will definitely pay you a visit in person some other day.”

“It’s okay.” Alexander gave him a concise answer.

Jonas knew that he was in the wrong and figured that it was only right for Alexander’s attitude to be cold, so he just smiled lightly and didn’t continue the conversation.

After a while, Jonas tried to win over Elise again. “Miss Sinclair, judging from the conversation between you and Miss Hill earlier, it seems like you and SQ have quite a friendship. Is that true?”

Elise snorted lightly as she stared at Jonas’ shrewd face with an ambiguous expression. When she saw that Tiana hadn’t gone far, she simply admitted, “I’ve indeed been friends with SQ for many years. Mr. Hymer, I wonder why you are asking about this, though.”

Beside them, Tiana stopped silently and tried to eavesdrop.

He smiled and went straight to the point. “To be honest, I’ve long admired SQ and very much hope to meet the figure in person. So, Miss Sinclair, I wonder whether it’s inconvenient for you to introduce me.”

Elise crossed her arms over her chest, steering clear of his main question. “Tiana is a student of SQ. Wouldn’t it be easier for you to ask her about this?”
