Mrs. Gibson Your identity is Exposed novel (Melissa and Murray) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Gift

“Well…” Melissa smiled, “What I brought for Marc cannot be regarded as a gift.”

She took a painting from the bag, “This painting is Jack Anne’s authentic work ‘Peony Lady’. My grandfather asked me to give it to you. He said at his first sight; he knew it should belong to you. It is not a gift; it was born for you; it was your thing.”

“Thank him for me,” Marc said in surprise as he took the painting and studied it carefully.

Adela looked at the painting in disbelief. The painting was vivid and lifelike. It was made by a great painter and was worth a lot.

In contrast, her tonic looked dull.

Marc had always been a fan of painting. Now he was happy.

How so?

How could Melissa have such a valuable painting?

Could it be fake?

Yes, it must be a fake!

Thinking of this, Adela blurted out, “Ms. Eugen, what do you mean by giving Mr. Marc a fake?”

A fake? Melissa frowned. Her grandfather had asked her to give it to Marc, so, it wouldn’t be a fake.

Adela said this because she thought that Melissa was poor from the countryside.

“Ms. Yale, are you doubting Marc’s judgment? You think Mr. Marc can’t distinguish between genuine and fake?” Melissa curled her lips and her tone was sarcastic.

Adela was embarrassed. “That’s not what I meant, but Jill’s authentic works are worth a lot. Where did you get it?”

“What? Ms. Yale, do you mean I stole it?” Melissa asked coldly.

“This painting is real,” Murray, who had been at the side, suddenly said.

He looked at Melissa with curiosity.

He was also wondering where Melissa got such a pricey painting.

Murray felt that Melissa was not simple these days.

Murray helping Melissa made Adela upset. “But…”

Before Adela could finish, Melissa interrupted, “This painting is real, but Ms. Yale’s dress…”

She deliberately paused for a moment and smiled sarcastically. “It is fake.”

Adela cried out, “What are you saying? My dress was designed by Loe, the international master. You don’t even know who Loe is. Don’t talk rubbish!”

Melissa smiled.

The dress that Adela was wearing was exquisite and nice. But after Melissa looked at it carefully, she knew it was a knockoff.

The studio only produced two pieces of this dress.

One was bought by a movie star, the other was bought by the Princess of Yorwald.

So, the one on Adela could only be a knockoff.

It could tell from Adela’s expression that she didn’t know she had bought a fake.
