Chapter 343 Hand It Over

Bric’s face went pale.

“I… I don’t know… I don’t know what you’re talking about-”

She didn’t even finish her sentence before Sean walked in.

“Ms. Brie, I really didn’t expect you to sell someone else’s painting to me!” Sean said, anger flashing in his eyes.

It really was Sean!

Retro Revival was a big name at Zrario’s antique market. Anyone in the city’s elite circles who visited the antique market had definitely been there.

Victoria had been there plenty of times. Even if she didn’t buy anything, she would go a couple of times just to see things so she wouldn’t look ignorant when chatting with other high–society ladies.

She had met the owner of Retro Revival a few times. And now … he was standing right in front of her.

If he was here, then this matter was really serious.

Brie was lying!

Not only was she lying, but she had secretly sold Cassia’s painting?

Victoria turned to look at Brie, feeling a headache coming on.

She rubbed her temples, but the ache didn’t go away.

Cassia glanced at Victoria without a word.

Victoria pressed her hands to her temples and asked sharply, “You … explain. What on earth happened?”

Brie’s actions were impossible for her to accept.

Selling someone else’s work in secret and keeping the money–this was her granddaughter, the one she had raised patiently for over a decade?!

Faced with Victoria’s questioning, Brie immediately broke down.

“I’m sorry, Grandma! I was wrong!”

With the Retro Revival owner present, she could no longer deny it.

“I… I got carried away! At first, I honestly didn’t know the painting belonged to Cassia. It wasn’t until after I sold it and she came looking for it that I realized it was hers!”

“Then why didn’t you say so sooner?”

Victoria didn’t lower her hands from her temples. She watched Brie sobbing, but she didn’t move forward to comfort her.

This time, Brie had gone too far–beyond the limits of what Victoria could tolerate.

Through her tears, Brie continued, “I … Ithought about giving the money back once I found out. But… if Cassia got the money, she would never come back. She hates us. She’s always wanted to leave the Woods. I know that … but she’s my sister! I was scared she’d leave forever and I’d never see her again!”

Victoria slowly lowered her hands from her temples.

“So I hid it from everyone.”

Brie sobbed, tears streaming down her face.

“And you’re Cassia’s grandmother. I thought–even if I kept the money, it’s still part of the Woods. And if it’s the Woods’s, then maybe it can count as me being filial to you! You could buy any clothes you want, any jewelry you want!”

The more Brie spoke, the harder she cried.

Victoria hadn’t expected the truth to be like this.

Seeing Brie sobbing uncontrollably, she stepped forward and hugged her tightly.

“Brie… you really are something. I don’t know what to say. Your intentions are good; it’s just… your method. At the very least, you should’ve asked Cassia first.”

“I’m sorry, Grandma … I won’t do it again,” Brie sniffled.

Victoria patted her gently on the back, full of worry and tenderness.

“Stop crying. It’s okay…”

Cassia, calm and unreadable, finally spoke. “It’s six o’clock. I have to go home for dinner. I don’t

have time for this tearful drama–hand over the money.”

Victoria wiped her tears and turned to look at Cassia..

“Can’t you tell she’s upset? And you just stand there?”

“Are you asking me to comfort her?” Cassia’s voice carried a trace of sarcasm. “She stole my painting and sold it. Just because she can cry better, does that make her the victim?

“Since when have tears been worth more than actions? Or is everything decided by who cries the hardest? If that’s the case, I’m doomed–my tear ducts never worked properly anyway.”

Cassia thought about it. She’d never been one to cry easily–not once in her memory.

“I’ll say it again,” she continued, her expression cold and unwavering. “I have to go home for dinner. The painting is mine. You sold it–so the money belongs to me. Hand it over.”

Victoria also felt Brie shouldn’t keep the money.

But it was one hundred million.

And if the painting was real…

Victoria truly hadn’t expected that Cassia really knew Alvarez!

So much money…

“Cassia, you’ve lived in this family for a long time, and you’re part of it. How about we treat this money as filial to Mom and to Grandma?”

Brie had thought it over. With Cassia’s temperament, there was no way she’d hand the money over willingly.

But Victoria was different. She was Cassia’s real grandmother. It was only natural for her to hold onto the money for her granddaughter–it made perfect sense.
