Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 427

“Yvonne, why are you still so naive even after so many years?” He scoffed and smiled disparagingly.

I was about to chase him out of the house, but my phone suddenly rang. I thought Christopher was calling me, but when I rushed to pick up the phone, I heard an unfamiliar voice from a man. “Ms. Tanner, due to the fact of your current reputation, you’re no longer qualified to participate in our art exhibition. Your work has been delivered back to your home. Please take good care of it.”

The voice was full of ridicule and mockery.

“Send to my home?” I exclaimed. “What’s wrong with my painting? Why can’t I compete?”

“Ms. Tanner, are you kidding me? Having someone like you participate in the art exhibition makes everyone think it is insulting to have you as a fellow artist.

I stared at the phone in a daze feeling powerless. There had been scandals of other artists before, and those artists just disappeared without a trace.

At that time, those were remotely irrelevant to me because one must first be a famous artist before a scandal could break out. The fact that I had a scandal even before I became an artist seemed funny to me.

Lyle lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. Seeing me petrified with the phone in my hand, he said, “As a new school artist, Crystal has an exceptional influence on the newer generation of artists. Now that you’re exposed, how could they allow you to participate in the competition? Even if you do participate, they will only come up with countless nitpicks on your work to remove you from the competition.”

“So you knew it all along?” I took a deep breath. I had always thought that Christopher and I had broken through the most challenging hurdle, but it seemed like our journey to happy ever after still had a long way to go.
