Goodbye, My Love

“I request all of you to look at the forged painting. It indeed looks ingenious. We can tell that the imitator is also an excellent portrait artist. He has copied Sirloin’s painting by using bright colors. I have to admit the forging techniques are admirable. One could hardly distinguish it from the original painting. The artist has effortlessly copied the color tone and painting techniques but failed to incorporate the subtle, unique style. The imitator started with bold strokes and ended with light ones. Hence, the uneven color distribution. So I believe this painting is not original.”

Curran’s analysis seemed reasonable, so his theory convinced most people and they looked at Loraine with strange expressions.

Jennie couldn’t believe Loraine had competed hard and spent three million and five hundred thousand dollars for a fake painting.

Her mind was a mess. She couldn’t process the information.

She looked at Loraine worriedly, wondering what her friend was thinking.

To her surprise, Loraine seemed calm and nonchalant, as if she had expected such a thing to happen.

“Some people pretend to know everything and compete with others without any knowledge. Sometimes one has got to use their brains!” Loraine’s calmness infuriated Curran, so he mocked her.

Vickie’s face broke into a triumphant grin as she realized it was all a part of Curran’s plan to trap Loraine.

“Oh, what a pity, Loraine! You’ve wasted three million and five hundred thousand dollars. You should have gathered information about the painting before bidding.”

The two of them were carried away by the victory that they completely forgot Marco was still sitting beside Loraine.

“Mind your tongue!” Marco warned them coldly. “The authenticity of the painting is for Claude Charity Auction to decide. Who gave you the right to gossip about it?” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Curran dreaded the Bryant family, so he restrained himself right away.

Vickie frowned with resentment when she saw Marco defending Loraine.

She couldn’t believe Loraine got to marry the handsome, affluent Marco while she could only date a mediocre man like Curran. Although the two divorced, Marco continued to protect Loraine.

“Mr. Bryant, don’t let this woman fool you. She dropped out of middle school and has led a dissolute life. She has no knowledge about all this. You and Loraine are divorced, so you better stay away from her.

Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble!”

Vickie slandered Vickie at every given opportunity so that people could repel her.

Marco became more furious with every word Loraine spoke.

“Curran, ask your woman to shut up. I will personally take action if she keeps slandering Loraine.”

Imitati

“I’m sorry about this, Mr. Bryant. Not to worry. I’ll shut her up right now!”

Beads of sweat appeared on Curran’s forehead as he pleaded with Marco.

He then turned to Vickie and gave her a warning look.
