Chapter 134
Madelyn did not come home yesterday.
She went on a vacation with Layne at the bathhouse resort.
Layne had invited her personally.
To avoid Madelyn feeling awkward, he specially brought a few friends along.
He arranged a separate room for Madelyn.
Of course, Madelyn knew Layne’s ***thoughts about her.
Pretending to hesitate at first, she then “barely agreed to the trip under the constant persuasion of Layne’s friend.
In the past, Madelyn would have rejected him decisively.
Because Madelyn had to maintain her “true, kind, and beautiful” persona.
Going to the bathhouse resort with Layne would be overtly suggestive, even if others were with them
However, the storm Jane had caused was too massive
Everything around Madelyn was subtly influenced by what Jane did.
Therefore, Madelyn panicked and planned to lead Layne on a little.
And Madelyn had no idea about what happened yesterday.
If only she knew…
Madelyn would be even more devastated.
At that moment…
Madelyn’s phone rang.
Seeing that it was a call from “that person”, Madelyn’s expression changed. She quickly went to a quieter place to answer the call.
“Hello? Did you find any clues about Jane?”
Recently, Madelyn had been frustrated with Jane and often called the harassment-slash-intelligence organization.
She urged them to find incriminating evidence on Jane and to do it soon.
After all, Madelyn had spent a lot of money on it.
That intelligence organization was also well-known.
But after receiving Madelyn’s call several times, they were quite annoyed and angry.
They firmly expressed that they would not accept her commission.
Now, it was Madelyn’s turn to panic. Quickly, she begged and pretended to sound pitiful so that the other party would not reject her request and return her money.
The money was a small matter. But if she did not quickly find Jane’s weakness, she might be in deep. trouble
Unexpectedly, they took the initiative to call Madelyn today.
“We can’t dig up any more information about Jane.”
“What?”
Madelyn did not expect such an answer.
They might as well have rejected her request and refunded her, then. At least she would not have
wasted her money.
“But… We found some clues about the painting that Jane made public during the competition.”
“At a charity dinner overseas a few years ago, we found a painting that was auctioned off for 2 million dollars. It was donated to charity. It’s very similar to the style of painting she made public.”
“The author of that painting is called-X. However, we can’t find the artist anymore. A few years ago, he occasionally appeared at famous comic book conventions abroad. The paintings he drew were all featured and made into art installations at those conventions.”
A similar style….
Madelyn pursed her lips.
She could create a hashtag called [Jane Plagiarized].
“I understand. Let me see that painting.”
“There’s one more thing… The inspiration for Jane’s painting composition clashed with that of M.YS.. who won the Picasso Painting Competition twice in a row recently. M.YS. is also known as the most talented and unparalleled painter among the younger generation. At the moment, we only investigated these two important pieces of information.”
M.Y.S?
Madelyn could not help but gasp.
Nowadays, if those who ****painting did not know the existence of a big shot like M.Y.S, it would be equivalent to saying that they had no idea who Van Gogh or Picasso was
But no one knew M.Y.S’s real name, and very few people had even seen M.Y.S. However, M.Y.S had reached the peak the moment he debuted.
He won the Van Gogh Newcomer’s Outstanding Award.
And he won the Picasso World Championship the following year.
It had been five years since M.Y.S debuted.
Not long ago, he won the Picasso World Championship again.
That was two consecutive championships.
The Picasso World Championship was held every three years.
One could say that M.Y.S was the defending champion.
This was unprecedented. Nothing like this ever happened in the history of the Picasso World. Championship.
No one expected M.Y.S to be able to defend the title twice in a row.
This time, talent had won over all the rules and prejudices.
After seeing M.Y.S’s work, the judges unanimously voted for M.Y.S.
They could no longer accommodate the other contestants.
Some people were born dazzling and were destined to shine as brightly as stars in the sky.
Whereas the rest of the generation, born with the bright star, was destined to be reduced to accompaniment.
Although Madelyn was upset…
But after seeing M.Y.S’s work, she was completely devastated.
And she was willing to yield.
She was no match for him.
Just like the original painting Jane had shown at the National University Competition. It dazzled everyone.
All the contestants were overshadowed.
Although Madelyn’s aspiration was not to become a painter, she wanted to enter the entertainment industry and become the best actress.
However, after knowing about M.Y.S.’s glorious achievements and seeing his paintings, Madelyn could be said to be his fan.
It was human nature to admire the powerful and talented.
“These two pieces of information are excellent. Send me the specific details. I want to check it myself.” Madelyn was overjoyed.
If she could catch Jane red-handed…
M.Y.S. had a huge number of fans worldwide.
Jane would be destroyed.
Especially on an international stage like the World Series, which brought honor to the country.
If Jane had such a huge scandal….
Jane would be destroyed, once and for all.
Jane had no idea about Madelyn’s scheme.
When she returned to the apartment, she was completely exhausted.
She could not help but sigh.
“Being too famous is not a good thing…”
The next time she went to school, Jane decided to put on makeup and conceal herself.
Otherwise, she would be surrounded by people asking for autographs and photos.
At that moment…
Her phone vibrated.
