Most of the people gathered in front of the drawing were waiting for Simon. As a renowned traditional painter in Havaria, he only had limited time to spend there. Even if the academy managed to invite him over, he would only choose to view the highlight pieces.
The onlookers all wanted to meet Simon and were afraid of missing the opportunity, so they stayed in place, not daring to wander around.
A thin layer of sweat formed on Rachel's forehead as time passed. She exclaimed, "I've never seen someone as shameless as you, Yolanda. I'll have to be frank—someone like you doesn't deserve to appreciate my painting!"
Simon might arrive at any moment. If Yolanda started making accusations and claimed that this drawing was hers in front of Simon, it would certainly damage Rachel's reputation.
Rachel planned to apply to the Art Department of Creybia University in the future, so she couldn't afford to leave a bad impression on Simon.
"You being here is undermining other people who truly understand art! If you have even a shred of decency, leave now!" Rachel was too anxious and ended up speaking rather harshly.
Even so, Yolanda's reputation at First Academy was terrible. Although Rachel's words were blatant personal attacks, the surrounding students only felt a sense of satisfaction. No one cared why Rachel was being so aggressive that day.
As for the outsiders who didn't know the full story, they had already heard people slandering Yolanda earlier.
They assumed she was just a worthless student who got into the academy through her family's influence. Everyone automatically had it in their minds that Yolanda was pretending to know art to get attention.
After hearing Rachel's remarks, they couldn't help but applaud her.
"I guess being shameless makes one impervious to criticism. If it were me, I'd have dug a hole to crawl into by now."
"Exactly. Why isn't she leaving?"
"Maybe it's because Prince Gavin is here. So, she's probably too embarrassed to leave."
"Tsk, tsk. I really pity Prince Gavin. How could he end up with such a fool?"
