Chapter 175 From other people‘s perspectives, Tara left out of anger and embarrassment because of Sylvia‘s comments. The exhibition hall went quiet for another few seconds.
Christopher and company looked at Sylvia with both admiration and concern.
Those who were invited to Westchester Art Association were all rather well–known artists, and they, too, shared the same thought as Sylvia. Tara‘s work was nothing close to decent, but she was Odell‘s woman, thus no one dared to voice their criticism of her work.
However, Sylvia had blatantly called her work garbage in public. It was a suicidal act.
Christopher signaled two of his men with a glance. “Go after her.”
The two men went out to look for Tara.
Christopher then said to Sylvia, “Sylvia, did something happen between you and Tara in the
past?”
Sylvia simply hummed a reply. The conflict between them started three years ago, and until now, the conflicts had only worsened.
Christopher awkwardly touched his nose and said in a small voice, “But her boyfriend is Master Carter. I believe you‘ll need to” “I know. Thank you for your concern,” Sylvia interrupted him. She would never apologize to Tara, not for the rest of her life. Christopher simply sighed at Sylvia‘s fierce attitude and decided to stay out of it.
Sylvia continued looking at the artwork. She voiced her truthful thoughts about each of the works. She was not stingy with praises when it came to a great art piece and would subtly offer a piece of advice for those lackluster ones.
After a few rounds in the venue, other than Tara‘s work that failed to gather interest after what happened, the other artworks of the winners were more or less sold.
A lot of the tourists bought either one or two paintings and left with a great harvest.
Sylvia also left the exhibition.
Tom pushed her to the carpark.
Just when Sylvia was about to get into the car, Tara came out from the shadows. She glared at Sylvia viciously and said, “Sylvia, I bet you are happy now.” Sylvia crossed her arms and replied with a grin, “It‘s quite nice.”
Tara grunted coldly. “Those tourists who did not buy my work because of you are idiots. I don‘t care.” Sylvia raised a curious brow and asked, “Then, why are you here stopping me from leaving?” Tara gulped nervously and said, “I‘m here to tell you Alister told Odell what I did before, but Odell wasn‘t even mad at me. He didn’t even blame me for anything.” Sylvia frowned. ‘I thought that man hated people who tricked others.‘ Tara noticed the change of expression on Sylvia‘s face and laughed. “Odell only loves me. Even if he knows what I did, you still won‘t succeed! Don‘t you dare try to ruin our relationship!” Sylvia wore a disdainful grin. ‘She‘s right. I almost forgot that Odell has always loved her.‘
