Chapter 33 The Fake Painting Bet
Just as Sophia was about to step down in triumph, Amelia spoke up. “A hundred million for a forgery? Do you take us for fools?”
Amelia’s challenge sent a shockwave of whispers through the audience.
“No way. Would the Bennett Group really risk their reputation with a fake?”
“Maybe Sophia is just desperate for attention!”
The guests began to murmur, the seeds of doubt regarding the painting’s authenticity firmly planted.

Lucas never denied her anything and always saved the best for her. She was certain he wouldn’t lie to her.
Clearly, Amelia was just jealous of her standing in the family and was slinging mud.
Sophia glared at Amelia, her voice trembling with faked hurt. “Amelia, I know you’ve hated me since you returned, but please don’t ruin Mr. Harrington’s event with your petty jealousy!”
Sophia broke into tears, playing the part of the fragile, bullied victim to perfection.
