The crowd was now criticizing Rosalynn.
Most of them were true art lovers who held a deep respect for their predecessors.
Naturally, they wouldnât tolerate any unfounded accusations against a renowned artist.
As Selina noticed the majority siding with her, she exchanged a subtle, triumphant glance with the security personnel stationed nearby.
Understanding Selinaâs silent cue, the security team promptly moved to escort Rosalynn and her group out of the gallery.
âYouâre not welcome here.
Please leave immediately,â one of the guards firmly said to Rosalynn.
The guards were adamant to the point of physically ushering Rosalynn toward the exit.
Gailâs demeanor quickly turned stern as she positioned herself protectively in front of Rosalynn.
âBack off! Do not dare to touch my daughter,â Gail shouted.
âYeah.
Try laying a finger on Rosalynn, and youâll answer to me.
Sheâs carrying a child.
Any harm to her or the baby, and youâll face serious consequences!â Noemi joined in with a clear warning.
The room suddenly fell silent.
Rosalynnâs pregnancy, especially with Brianâs child, was news to Selina.
It sent shockwaves through her.
Selinaâs eyes fixated on Rosalynn, whose beauty seemed only to have been enhanced by her condition.
A surge of jealousy clenched Selinaâs heart.
Anger coursed through her as she thought about the blissful life Rosalynn must be enjoying.
Meanwhile, she herself was entangled with a man for whom she had no affection.
She silently cursed Rosalynn, blaming her for her misfortunes.
âI told you this piece is a forgery!â Rosalynn shouted, emerging from behind Gail with a calm yet determined look.
Selina was jolted back to the reality.
âWhy are you so hell-bent on slandering me? What proof do you have that this artwork is not genuine?â she asked confidently.
âMy mentor, Christopher Shaw, had a close connection with Javier Morrison, despite their age difference.
He spent all his youth discussing and debating with Javier about his artworks.
Nobody understands Javierâs work better than him.
He can attest to the paintingâs lack of authenticity,â Rosalynn responded with a measured tone.
The crowd started murmuring in response to the mention of Christopher.
âIf her mentor is Christopher Shaw, then her statement carries credibility.
She wouldnât make such a claim without confidence,â one of the art lovers said.
âSo, Miss Fuller, why not invite Christopher to check this painting? Letâs see if he can settle this debate,â another person suggested.
ALL eyes turned to Rosalynn.
Rosalynnâs lips tightened as she prepared to make a video call to Christopher.
