Someone in the crowd mocked, "What kind of present can a crow give? A feather?"
Another person laughed and chimed in, "You're spot on. Look at the box she's holding. It looks cheap."
Sharon sneered. "She's probably giving Charles a box of dry leaves. How embarrassing!"
The venue was quiet. Grace overheard Sharon and her friends' nasty comments.
Grace paid them no heed. She smiled and handed the box to the emcee. She said, "Mr. West, I heard you like visiting art exhibitions when you're free. This is a painting by the contemporary watercolor painting master, Madam Lily. I hope you will like it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sharon sneered in disdain. "A master in watercolor painting? Everyone can draw these days. What a joke! It's not an antique. How much can it be worth?"
When Charles heard Grace's words, his turbid eyes lit up instantly. "What did you say? This is... Madam Lily's painting?"
Grace nodded slightly in confirmation and said, "Yes, Mr. West. I wonder if Madam Lily's painting is to your liking?"
Charles was so excited that he wanted to get up from his chair. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the painting. His finger was trembling. He ordered, "Open it!"
The emcee opened the box and carefully took out the painting from inside. He slowly unfolded it.
Charles narrowed his eyes as if he were looking at a rare treasure. He slowly caressed the painting. He looked at the painting seriously.
Sharon frowned and muttered softly, "Who is Lily? Are her paintings worth a lot?" She pursed her lips and said at the top of her voice, "I wonder if it's a fake!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Charles exclaim, "It's her! It's Lily! This is her painting!"
Charles valued relationships. If Grace won his favor, she would definitely be able to obtain many benefits.
Sharon was enraged at the thought of this.
Halfway through the party, Charles instructed someone to secretly tell Grace, "Miss Sherman, Mr. West wants to chat with you later."
Grace happily agreed. "Okay."
Charles invited Grace to the West villa. He said to her politely, "Miss, please take a seat."
Grace nodded slightly and sat down on the sofa. She asked respectfully, "Mr. West, you wanted to ask me about Madam Lily, right?"
