Chapter 189 The Ultimate Proof

The scene felt strangely familiar to him.

Nolan’s heart sank.

He had loved Master Inkblot’s paintings because he’d seen a familiar shadow in them.

He had even wondered if his little girl was Inkblot, but he’d dismissed the thought when he heard the world–famous master was an old man.

Her age made it impossible anyway.

Then he found Seraphina had his girl’s sketches, and he’d stopped questioning.

Now that Stella was revealed as Inkblot, doubt began to creep

1. in.

Especially her expression–it feels so familiar. Or is it just that all painters look alike when they work?

No. I’m overthinking it. I have to be.

When Stella finished her painting, everyone stared at it, transfixed.

“Wow! It’s just storm clouds and sunlight, but why does it feel so warm?”

“Dark clouds cover the sky, then a ray of light bursts through, flooding the earth.”

“Golden light tears through the clouds, like breaking free from despair to find hope.”

“With just a few strokes, she captures the feeling of rising from the bottom and starting anew.”

The crowd’s awe made Seraphina seethe.

It’s just clouds and sun. Why all the drama?

Nolan stared at the painting without blinking.

“Look! There’s Master Inkblot’s personal mark at the bottom.”

Everyone leaned in. Under the lights, a tiny star glowed faintly.

“It’s really her. She’s Master Inkblot.”

“Stella is incredible.”

“Such a masterpiece in just a few strokes. No wonder she’s Inkblot.”

“And not just the painting–Miss Thorne’s dress. The accidental ink stain turned into a high–end design.”

“Luxury brands are probably taking notes right now.”

“Doesn’t that just prove how talented Stella is?”

Seraphina shook her head in frustration.

She had to admit Stella’s version was better, but she still refused to accept it.

“Any art student could paint that. As for the mark–everyone knows it. You copied it well, but that doesn’t make you Inkblot.”

The crowd shook their heads helplessly.

In their eyes, even if she was fake, no one dared offend Stella.

Every time one of her secrets was revealed, the city’s elite bowed to her.

“Miss Thorne, our contract is legally binding. Even if you refuse to acknowledge me, the money stays mine.”

Seraphina gritted her teeth.

A hundred million stung, but at least it wasn’t her money.

“Then your fraud will be all over the headlines.”

Stella laughed. “Care to make a bet?”

“What kind of bet?”

“If I prove I’m Inkblot, you pay me triple my fee.”

“And if you can’t?”

“I’ll bow and apologize to you in front of everyone.”

Seraphina froze for a second, then thrilled at the thought of Stella bowing to her.

“Nolan, we accept.”

Prove it? Ridiculous.

Any artist can copy a style. I’ll just keep denying it. What can Stella do?

“Mr. Lane’s wealth is legendary. They say you adore your fiancée. You wouldn’t back down, would you?”

Nolan downed his red wine in one gulp.

He knew Stella was Inkblot, but he didn’t want to humiliate Seraphina.

“Fine. We accept the bet.”

Stella’s lips curved into a faint smile.

“Elias, my bag.”

“Here.”

No one would have guessed the powerful Mr. Cross would happily carry his girlfriend’s bag.

Stella pulled out a certificate. “An official national credential. Fully verifiable.”

“How do we know it’s fake?”

“With so many influential people here, checking is easy.”

Sure enough, several guests were eager to help.

“It’s real.”

“I knew it. The Prodigy Healer is too famous to ruin her reputation for 100 million.”

“Right. Master Celeste makes that much in no time with her remedies.”

Seraphina still couldn’t believe it.

Stella blinked, her expression playful and teasing. “Oh, and the new national art history textbook just released today. Why don’t you check? Page fifty–two has Master Inkblot’s portrait. See if it looks like me.”

Her secret was going to come out anyway. If someone wanted to pay her to do it, she’d delay the official release by one day.

Everyone pulled up the page online.

They didn’t need to–the top trending topic had already exploded.
