After all, she’d never seen any master painter work with such a laid-back attitude.
Feeling a surge of confidence, Lily psyched herself up and began to paint.
But she’d barely made it halfway when someone in the crowd jered, “What is she even drawing? She can’t even handle the basics of composition. She actually thinks she can compete?”
“Even a kid could do better than her. Who gave her the guts to show off here?” another person mocked.
“Those colors are making me want to puke. Get off already, don pollute our eyes!” someone else sneered.
Lily heard the jeers and held her head high, confidence flooding back.
She thought, ‘Finally, I’ve got the upper hand.
‘Let’s see how you can show off now,
Nina.’
Ethan shouted, “Hey, Lily! Are you just pretending not to hear us Everyone’s telling you to get lost, and you’re still painting?
“With skills like that, you actually dare to show off? Seriously, have you no shame?”
Ethan saw Lily not only keep painting but also acting all high and mighty, chin up like she was royalty, and he couldn’t help but let out a frustrated laugh.
He thought, ‘Where does she even get that kind of confidence?
‘With so many people calling her out, is she really not hearing any of it?’
Lily’s smile froze awkwardly. She turned to Ethan, her voice shaky, “What did you just say?”
“We told you to get lost,” Luna sneered, finally losing her patience. “Come on, take a good look at your painting and Nina’s. It’s like heaven and a sewer.
“With skills like yours, where do you get the nerve to even stand next to her?”
Lily couldn’t believe her ears.
She glanced around at the guests, stunned, only to see everyone looking at her like she was something nasty stuck to their shoe.
“No way, that can’t be!” Lily screamed, her voice breaking. “You’re not talking about me, are you? Aren’t you all talking about Nina?”
She thought, ‘How could they possibly mean me?
‘Okay, maybe my painting’s just average, but it can’t be total tras, right?”
“Enough!” Martin growled, his voice low and cold. “Look around. Who do you think they’re talking about? Just get down and stop embarrassing yourself.”
Today, the main branch’s reputation was already in the gutter.
‘Does she wanna humiliate us more?’ Martin thought, his frustration boiling over.
“I don’t buy it!” Lily shouted, completely losing her cool. “There no way I’m worse than Nina! You’re all just taking sides…”

Lily marched straight up to Nina, and the moment she laid eyes on Nina’s painting, she was left speechless. “How… How
could this be?”
She thought, ‘How can Nina paint like this?
‘Why? Just why?
Was that woman from the club totally crazy?
Why did she bother teaching Nina everything?’
Lily was starting to seriously hate that club lady who took Nina i
“Trash like you should just stay in the dumpster. Stop parading around and polluting everyone’s eyes,” Ethan snorted. “You’re not even worth a single finger compared to my sister, loser!”
Lily just lost it and started crying.
Ethan’s words hit her so hard that she couldn’t hold back the tears.
Shame and humiliation were eating her up inside, too.
She just stood there, completely speechless.
Once Nina finished her painting, she put down her brush and gave Lily a sidelong glance. “Are you ready to admit you lost?”
Lily stayed silent.
Ethan snorted, “She’s like one of those indestructible cockroaches. Bet not even dying would make her admit she lost.”
Lily was speechless.
Nina gave a sly smile, turning to Vivian, who looked totally numb. “Looks like I won again, Mrs. Swanson. Feeling happy about that?”
Vivian didn’t know what to say.
She just wanted to keep her mouth shut.
Vivian didn’t want to admit it, but she could feel regret creeping|n, no matter how hard she tried to deny it.
Nina caught the look on Vivian’s face and couldn’t help but gloa She thought, ‘So, the mighty Mrs. Swanson is finally starting to regret it.
‘Nice. Let’s keep this going. I’m just waiting for the day Vivian gets so pissed that she keels over.”
Nina shifted her gaze from Vivian to Matthew, a sly grin on her ps. “Your turn, Matthew. Weren’t you just itching to challenge me for your life? So, what’s it gonna be, brains or braw?”
