Chapter 36 She Can’t Embarrass Her
No!
She could not allow such a thing to happen!
Laila calmed herself down, smiled, and went forward to hold Gavyn’s arm. “There, there. We are here to watch the exhibition. Do not let others affect your mood!”
For some reason, when looking at the hand on his arm, Gavyn kept thinking about the scene of Aylin holding Ryker.
His face darkened and his mood was even worse…
Gavyn avoided Laila and said flatly, “Carmen hasn’t come back for a long time. You should stay with her.”
Seeing that she was pushed away, Laila put on a long face, but in the end, she did not say anything and went up.
However, she held Haleigh’s arms and said, “Mrs. Delacruz, I have also studied painting abroad for the past few years. Let me appreciate the paintings with you today!”
Haleigh held Laila’s hand, feeling gratified.
“You are so sweet. You can dance and draw, and you are nothing more than a noble lady.”
Laila pretended to be shy as she put her hair behind her ear.
“Mrs. Delacruz, you flattered me.”
She pointed at a painting and proudly introduced it, “I know this painting. The author of this painting is Leonel Hensley. Every piece of his work is worth a lot. Last year, one of his paintings was sold for 1.5 million dollars. And this painting is Leonel’s new work. The scenery is rough when looked at from afar but is delicate when one takes a close look. The contrast of the colors is sharp. The animals and plants in the painting are both decadent and vivid. Leonel is calling for the protection of nature.”
Carmen looked at Laila with a face of worship. She did not understand what this painting meant. She only knew that it was good.
Sure enough, Laila was far better than that bumpkin!
This was the woman who was worthy of marrying her brother!
When the onlookers in front of the painting heard this, they also cast admiring looks at Laila.
“I didn’t expect this young lady to have such a deep understanding of paintings at such a young age. Not only is she beautiful, but she is knowledgeable!”
“I thought it was just an ordinary landscape painting. I didn’t expect it to have such a deep
meaning.”
“As expected of the future daughter-in-law of the Delacruz family. She and Mr. Delacruz are so compatible!”
Listening to these praises, Laila smiled and glanced at Aylin.
Since Gavyn wanted to protect Aylin, then, she had to humiliate her!
“Ms. Koch, what do you think about this painting?”
Aylin was suddenly called by the name. She turned around and looked at the painting. Her lips curled up. She already knew what Laila was planning.
Did she want to embarrass her?
She thought, I’m sorry, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you!
Aylin said indifferently as she lifted her hand to point at the painting beside Laila. “I don’t have any opinion on the painting you commented on, but I think this painting has a deeper meaning.”
Laila did not expect that Aylin would continue the conversation, and she felt a bit unhappy.
“Ms. Koch, don’t push yourself. That painting doesn’t even have a signature on it. You should know that a painting without a signature will be worthless. How can the painter be compared to Leonel?”
“So what if there is a signature? The painting skills and artistic conception are not determined by the signature. Ms. Marsh, since you studied painting, you should know this rule better than me.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Unveiling The Genius Behind The Divorce
Terrible ending, so she has helped out a model and an actor get started. Her “brothers” are not protecting her, her ex loves her dearly and she loves him but has never bothered to tell him what happened to her with amnesia to clear the air on their marriage that could be fixed the second time around. Readers want the romance and love of the story, not ridiculous violence, manipulation and deception. Make it right, finish the story with a grand wedding and a child of their own....
Come-on, her not knowing anything about herself and he knowing nothing about her, any wealthy man would think that way. Aylin is being totally unfair to Gavyn as it was his mother and sister who were deliberately lying to him and treating her like crap. Make it right!...
Wow, enough… why do you make the heroine out to be a hooker and allow the bixens to look like upstanding women? Shameless. Get the two who actually love each other back together and stop the nonsense. Since when does a mother arrange for her son’s wife, despicable. And rather sickening, obviously Gavyn’s mother is an idiot!...
Relationships based on lies… despicable women.. find the newsreel where Alton was actually the one who saved Gavyn and send it to him. Leila needs to go...
It's been almost a year since the last chapter. Is this story going to be completed?...
