Chapter 120 - 120: Questioning
Juliana looked at Minna in amazent, not expecting her to believe herself at this point.
Zoe said, "It's not up to you. I also believe it wasn't Juliana who imitated it. I told her that as long as she told
where she got the painting from, I wouldn't pursue it and would thank her for my teacher."
In short, Zoe believed that Juliana could not paint and that Juliana had bought the painting.
So people were puzzled.
"Did Juliana paint this painting or not?"
"According to Zoe, she didn't paint it but bought it, and the one who imitated Randall is soone else."
So people exclaid, "Why are rich people so fond of flaunting their superiority? She could simply say that she can't paint, but she bought a pastiche and said that she painted it, and even sold it for 100 million dollars! That's terrible."
After listening to the crowd comnting, Minna was angry and wanted to argue with them.
Juliana didn't want her to be in trouble, so she stepped forward and stood by Minna's side.
She looked at Zoe, "Miss Jennings, I hope you won't regret that you asked
to paint today."
Zoe seized the opportunity excitedly, "You an you're going to paint one on the spot?"
Juliana nodded, "Yes, but I won't paint "The Peach and the Plum". Randall has said that a painting cannot be painted twice."
Because the first painting was unique and even if it was painted a second ti, it could not be a substitute for the first one.
That was Miranda's point of view on drawing, as well as her view on love.
Zoe didn't care about that. Today, she was going to prove that Juliana couldn't draw and that even if she did, she was a painter who imitated Randall and should be despised.
She simply wanted to humiliate Juliana.
Minna said, "Zoe, you question Juliana and demand that she draws. If she does, you won't just forget about it, will you?"
Zoe looked at her, "Minna, what else do you want?"
She could not get along with Minna. She believed that Minna was certainly jealous that she had beco a student of Randall's while Minna herself was nothing.
Minna replied, "To slander a painter for imitating soone else's style is to ruin that painter's life, so as soon as Juliana draws it, you have to apologize to her."
The Jennings family had a high status in F City.
Zoe was also a socialite who was held in high regard quite a bit and even higher after becoming Randall's only student.
She had never apologized to anyone.
Zoe nodded readily after a short silence, "OK. I don't require much but that she finishes a painting with smooth lines."
She looked at Juliana, who had been quiet, and continued, "If she draws it, I'll apologize to her and she will be my student; if she doesn't, she won't be allowed to paint again and she will tell who the painter of "The Peach and the Plum" is."
Minna did not accept it for Juliana but turned her head to look at her.
Juliana nodded, "I will accept the apology but as for
being your student?"
She raised an eyebrow disdainfully at Zoe, "You don't have that qualification."
Zoe was infuriated by Juliana's words and said through clenched teeth, "We'll see If I have that qualification when you paint it. I don't think you have the ability of painting either."
After saying that, she let the staff prepare the painting tools.
Many people wanted to ride Zoe's coattails and so others couldn't stand Juliana's arrogance.
"She's now Mrs. Leach and has soone to back her up, and that's why she's so arrogant. Don't take it seriously."
"That's right. She looks down on Randall's student when she can't do anything herself. She's the one who has the least qualifications."
"Don't worry, she'll embarrass herself in a while. You don't have to be angry."
There were also people who did not comnt and remained silent.
Except for Minna, almost all of them were waiting for Juliana to disgrace herself.
