Chapter 189: Exposing the Lies 

Chapter 189: Exposing the Lies 

The old master looked at it several times, the joy and appreciation in his eyes was obvious. 

“Cecilia, good girl…” After looking at the painting, he couldn’t help but raise his head to look at her, a friendly smile spreading across his face. “You really made an effort.“” 

“Grandpa, our Cece was really an expert in painting. It’s you who knows too little about her.” Calvin saw the old master praising Cecilia, and his heart was incomparably happy. He couldn’t help but laugh out loud. 

The old master smiled even brighter when he heard this. “It looks like I’m the one who didn’t pay enough attention to Cecilia.” 

pursed her lips and smiled. 

The light of her eyes, however, unconsciously favored Max’s direction. 

She wanted to see his expression. 

Would he be surprised by her own painting? 

But… 

But Cecilia saw that Max was looking at Charlotte. 

He did not care what kind of gift he had given the old man. 

Nor did he care how good her paintings really were… 

He was looking at his wife. 

Cecilia’s heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cave at that moment. 

It was cold to the bone. 

She looked away without moving, but her fingers tightened in the darkness. 

Max was indeed looking at Charlotte. He turned his head to look at his wife and asked in a low, flat voice, “Did you bring a gift?” 

Charlotte froze at the words, lowered her voice, and replied with a slight dissatisfaction, “Didn’t I tell you… that I’d find a gift myself.” 

Didn’t Max believe her? 

Seeing that look on her face, Max couldn’t help but pull back the corners of his mouth slightly, a faint, light smile spilling out of his handsome, clear cheeks. “I’m afraid you’re being careless… If you forget, I have another one here that was brought especially for you. You can take it to Grandpa.” 

Charlotte heard this and looked straight into the man’s eyes. 

At that moment, they were cloudy and incomparably soft. 

There was an inexplicable sweetness in her heart. 

Max had unexpectedly brought her an extra gift! 

Charlotte pursed her lips, smiled, and whispered, “Thank you… but I really did prepare a gift.” 

Just then- 

Cecilia’s soft and flat voice rang in her ears, “Charlotte, what kind of gift did you prepare for Grandpa?” 

The moment these words were uttered, everyone’s attention was drawn to Charlotte. 

After a careful count, she was the only one who hadn’t given her grandfather a congratulatory gift yet. 

“You wouldn’t be caught unprepared, would you?” Calvin narrowed his eyes and gave Charlotte an unkind look.

The others heard this and couldn’t help but give her a curious look. 

“Charlotte must have brought something. Don’t talk nonsense,” Sophia immediately opened her mouth to defend Charlotte. 

Calvin did not think so. He grunted coldly and said disdainfully, “If you brought something, then take it out quickly… You kept dragging and dragging. What kind of treasure can it be? It can’t be that after seeing that Cece’s gift is too good, you suddenly feel guilty and feel that you can’t take it out… 

Charlotte listened, her eyes sinking, but did not speak for a moment. 

Cecília, however, spoke immediately, pretending to be unhappy and saying to Calvin, “Don’t say that…” 

She was not happy with her mouth, but in her heart, she felt that Calvin’s words were exactly what she wanted to say. 

Saying everything she wanted to say… 

Unconsciously, she looked at Charlotte, wanting to see exactly how she would react. 

Unexpectedly, the girl laughed softly. 

She raised her eyes, her deep, slightly cold eyes looking directly at Cecilia and Calvin before she looked back at the painting. 

“This painting is really quite good.” 

Charlotte said. 

Calvin sniffed and snorted coldly, “Anyone with eyes can see that. Why do you have to say that?” 

“Calvin.” Seeing him so focused on Charlotte, old Mr. Foster couldn’t help but furrow his brow and call out his name with some displeasure. 

Calvin wiped his mouth, his face still wearing a displeased expression. 

“But there are some things you can’t see.” Charlotte continued. The smile at the corner of her mouth was slowly fading and turning to reveal a few hints of faint coldness under her eyes. 

“What are you pretending to be? If you have something to say, just say it!” Calvin frowned and told her nonchalantly. 

“Be polite to her.” 

Suddenly, Max, who had been silent all along, spoke indifferently as he looked straight at Calvin, his eyes deep and cold. 

Calvin was inexplicably frightened when Max looked at him like that. 

This guy was obviously a cripple in a wheelchair. Why was his aura so strong right now? 

He frowned, and his heart suddenly became a mess. 

At that moment, Cecilia looked at Charlotte and said with a smile, “Really? Then tell me what you see in this painting that others don’t know.” 

Cecilia had a smile on her face, but her heart was filled with contempt. 

Did Charlotte even know how to paint? 

She was an amateur who knew nothing and yet wanted to criticize her painting? 

Charlotte did not look at her anymore, her eyes shifted to old Mr. Foster. “Grandpa, this painting is indeed an imitation of Simon’s style, but it wasn’t painted by Cecilia herself.” 

Was it not painted by Cecilia herself? 

The vast majority of people present were stunned when these words came out. 

“What are you talking about? If it wasn’t painted by Cece, who else could have painted it?” Calvin was the first to storm out and he glared at Charlotte, his tone unfriendly, “I personally watched Cece stay in the studio for a long time before she drew such a perfect picture.” 

“You must be jealous of Cece, that’s why you’re slandering her like this, right?”
