Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty

Upon facing everyone's ridicule, Yvonne lowered her head.

To outsiders, she looked sad because Yolanda was an embarrassment. But in actuality, at an angle no one else could see, she smiled satisfactorily.

"Mr. Sullivan, I'm sorry. My eldest daughter isn't sensible. Please don't mind her…" Diana said

"She is indeed insensible!"

"They are both your daughters, but one is a beautiful cloud in the sky, while the other is dirt on the ground. I really don't know how you taught them as a mother!" Charlie's good mood was entirely ruined, so he spoke harshly.

Diana was worried that Yolanda's words would decrease Yvonne's chance of having Charlie as her teacher, so she suppressed her anger and lowered her head to apologize to Charlie.

"I'm sorry for ruining your mood of enjoying the art exhibition. I will bring her home and discipline her!" After saying that, Diana wanted to grab Yolanda's arm and take her away.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the back.

"Mr. Carter!"

"Mr. Carter!"

Soon after, the crowd immediately dispersed and cleared a path. Then, an elder walked in with several bodyguards around him. The elder was none other than Simon, whom Yolanda had saved in the hospital previously.

"What's up with all the noise?"

Simon was slightly upset. It was taboo to be loud in art exhibitions. Besides, if so many people were gathered in one place, it would affect the others enjoying the exhibition.

"Mr. Carter!" Upon seeing Simon, Charlie jogged over to him.

Charlie helped Simon walk to the middle while explaining, "It's nothing. There's a child who isn't sensible. She said that 'The Great Country' the organizer brought is a replica."

Simon halted in his tracks while his expression became stern. Then, his gaze landed on the painting that was on the wall. Slowly, his expression became ghastly.

"Mr. Carter, you find it unbelievable too, right? But you don't need to be angry. I have already taught her a lesson just now!" Charlie pointed at Yolanda.

When Simon saw Yolanda, he was impressed. "She's right."

That day, Simon had been unconscious in the hospital, and he only woke up for a few minutes after Yolanda left.

He heard about what happened from Gordon and only knew that the person who saved him was the daughter of the Henderson family. He didn't know Yolanda.

"Mr. Carter, please don't mind her… What did you say?" Before Charlie finished his words, he realized what Simon said.

At that moment, the surrounding areas quieted down.

"I said that she's right. This painting is a replica!

"The organizer had previously negotiated with a private collector to borrow 'The Great Country,' but the negotiation failed. So, the organizer wanted to use my replica as a replacement.

"I've clearly rejected it previously, but the organizer exhibited this painting without my permission when I was admitted into the hospital. The organizer even imitated Mr. Harrington's strokes. This is nonsense!" Simon said.

Charlie widened his eyes in disbelief. "Mr. Carter, are you saying that this painting is really a replica?"

The people around them were stunned. What was going on? There were so many people present, including experienced connoisseurs.

However, aside from the woman they looked down on, no one could tell that the painting was a replica.

"Mr. Carter, are you joking?"

Many people still didn't believe that it was a replica. Some even posed a question courageously.

Upon hearing that, Yvonne looked at Simon with anticipation. At that time, she only had one thought in her mind, which was Simon was joking.

Yolanda wasn't knowledgeable in traditional paintings, so how could she recognize that it was a replica? She might have randomly guessed the replica correctly at home back then, but if she was correct this time as well, Yvonne would lose her pride.

Yvonne couldn't accept Yolanda stepping on her repeatedly and being in the limelight. Nonetheless, once that person asked the question, Simon shouted sternly, "Is art something we can joke about?"

At that, everyone fell silent. That woman was right! At this moment, the people who ridiculed Yolanda smugly moments ago were so embarrassed that they wanted to dig a hole and bury themselves.

Because Yolanda was more knowledgeable than them, they felt as though their past efforts had all been in vain.

"Mr. Carter, didn't you say you weren't going to come because you were feeling unwell?" Charlie felt embarrassed and quickly changed the topic.

"I'm here to look for someone!"

Simon looked around his surroundings and asked, "Are the members of the Henderson family here?"

"The Henderson family?"

Diana and Yvonne were taken aback. Nonetheless, they weren't the only Henderson family in Riverdale City.

Since they were only an upper middle class family, they weren't wealthy enough to be mentioned by Simon. Thus, they didn't speak up.

Yolanda frowned. Then, she turned around and walked out of the crowd silently. She wanted to exit the exhibition hall when she knew what Simon was going to do.

That day, she only used acupuncture to stabilize his condition and didn't completely cure him. Naturally, he would want to find her when he woke up.

If they were in another situation, Yolanda might have been willing to help Simon. However, there were too many people in the art exhibition, and she didn't want to be the center of attention.

Besides, Diana and Yvonne were around. If Yolanda showed her medical skills, it would be hard to give them an explanation.

At this time, everyone was looking for the Henderson family that Simon mentioned. No one noticed that Yolanda had secretly left the hall. Several minutes had passed, but no one came forward.

"Did the members of the Henderson family not attend this exhibition?" Simon sounded a bit uneasy.

Gordon had clearly inquired about it previously and confirmed that the Henderson family would attend the art exhibition. So, once Simon could be discharged from the hospital, he rushed to the exhibition immediately.

"When I was ill and was admitted into the hospital, someone from the Henderson family saved me. I came here today to thank her. I hope that she can carry out treatment again and cure my chronic illness," Simon said.

Then, everyone around him started to move around and look for the person from the Henderson family. But they remembered there were no Henderson families in Riverdale City that specialized in medicine.

Thus, after searching the place for a while, everyone became anxious and confused.

Diana and Yvonne were also looking around for the person who saved Simon. Now, they were hoping more than anyone else to find the person from the Henderson family as soon as possible

If they could locate that person first, Simon would have a good impression of them. However, no matter how the people in the exhibition hall looked around, they couldn't find the person.

Simon sighed disappointedly. "Did she not come today?"

If he couldn't find the miracle doctor who saved him, he could only live for two to three months more.

"Mr. Carter!" At this time, Simon's personal assistant, Gordon, hurried into the hall.

Since Simon couldn't be overworked because of his current condition, Gordon had been negotiating with the organizer and canceled the talk that would be held later.

But when Gordon entered the hall, he saw Yolanda walk past him. While panting, he ran toward Simon. "I saw that woman leave! I wanted to stop her, but I was too slow. I have already sent people to look for her."

On the other hand, Simon was calm. He only sighed. "Maybe it's fate."

He was getting older, so he should be grateful that he could live even for one more day. If he couldn't find that woman, he needed to accept his fate.

"Mr. Carter, I have a few questions to ask you!" Upon seeing that Simon had given up on looking for that person, Yvonne hurried forward and wanted to approach him.

Before she could get closer to him, she was blocked by Gordon.

"No! Mr. Carter isn't in good condition. He can't be too tired," Gordon said, "Mr. Carter, I'll help you to the lounge."

"Alright." Simon nodded. Without sparing a glance at Yvonne, he left the hall with Gordon's help.

At that, Yvonne stiffened and watched as Simon left the venue. When Diana saw that Yvonne was sad, she patted her on the shoulder.

"Yvonne, I think that Mr. Carter won't accept any more students. Besides, he isn't someone we can reach. It's fine," Diana comforted her. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Upon hearing that, Yvonne nodded. Although Simon ignored her, he ignored the other people too. So what if Yolanda guessed it right again?

Yvonne was an outstanding student at First Academy. Meanwhile, Yolanda was only a useless trash who was in the juvenile detention center for three years and couldn't even get into the worst school.

Even if Yolanda was in the limelight that day, she wasn't even worthy of being Yvonne's maid!

"Where did that brat run off to?"

Soon, Diana realized that Yolanda was missing. Yolanda would always go missing at the critical moments. It was the same in the jewelry store back then.

Yolanda's recent performance surprised Diana, though. For example, Yolanda managed to retrieve the surveillance footage in the jewelry store and was the only one who noticed that "The Great Country" painting was a replica.

Could it be that Yolanda had turned over a new leaf and wanted to study hard?

Diana didn't need Yolanda to be extremely outstanding. She only wanted the latter to be a bit like Yvonne. In this way, she would have dignity among the wealthy women.

When Yvonne saw that Diana was deep in thought, she secretly clenched her fists while remaining composure.

"Yolanda, are you trying to fight with me again? It seemed that I shouldn't have allowed you to come out so early…"
