Chapter 1000

Serena, sitting to one side, pleaded, "Please stop praising her! If Mirabelle realizes everyone is

complimenting her, she'll be over the moon!"

At this moment, Arabella pulled out her phone, preparing to take care of some personal affairs.

Unexpectedly, Nancy, feeling superior, suddenly hushed everyone around her, then lifted her eyes

arrogantly towards Arabella.

“With your perfect academic record and broad knowledge, surely you have some unique insights. Why

not give your opinion on this art piece and tell us what's so special about it?"

If someone with a perfect academic record came from a privileged family, then not being able to

recognize the artist or style of this art piece or not knowing what made it special just showed a lack of

exposure and knowledge.

If she came from humble beginnings, no matter how great her academic achievements were, she still

cannot compare to them, the privileged daughters of wealthy families.

So, regardless of how Arabella responded to this question, she will either be mocked for her lack of

knowledge or her humble background.

Arabella lifted her gaze to find a group of people ready to laugh at her.

She then looked at Nancy's phone, which displayed a landscape painting, presumably the one they

said was purchased for three million dollars.

Her eyes went cold, "To me, it's no better than a child’s scribbles."

Everyone was stunned by her words, and even Nancy was taken aback for a few seconds.

This naive girl dared to comment that the masterpiece of the revered Mirabelle was no better than a

child's scribbles!

It seemed not only did she come from a humble background, but she also lacked any sense of art

appreciation!!

“Seems like the top scholar only knows how to study, unable to appreciate the value of this painting.”

Nancy recovered, raising her superior smile, chuckling, “This is a new piece by the renowned artist

Mirabelle"

“Indeed! It was just auctioned off two days ago at an auction by the Austin family for three million

dollars."

“We don't blame you for not being able to appreciate fine art, but you dare to say that Mirabelle’s talent

is no better than a child's. You are not only insulting Mirabelle but also all of her fans!"

“Apologize to Mirabelle!"

Arabella smirked, looking at the girls in front of her like they were fools.

“Last year, the Collins family bought a piece by Mirabelle for ten million dollars. This year, the MeMillian

family bought another one for ten million dollars. Now, you're saying your family bought a genuine

Mirabelle for just three million dollars?"

“What's so impossible about that? The Collins and McMillian families are notorious for their

extravagance and willing to overspend. We, the Austin family, are close with Mirabelle. What’s wrong

with her giving us a discount?"

Nancy said, sounding a bit defensive.

After all, Arabella didn’t know about the relationship between the Austin family and Mirabelle and had

no evidence to prove her lying. So, she continued her bluff. What could Arabella do?

Arabella found it even more amusing, “You say you know Mirabelle? Is she male or female?"

“A man! An old gentleman!” Nancy declared confidently, “I've met him many times. He's very refined

and scholarly, with a strong artistic vibe"

Arabella could not help but chuckle, “Mirabelle is a woman and not very old.

Moreover, she never gives anyone discounts."

“How would you know? Are you claiming to know Mirabelle personally?"

Nancy insisted, “Mirabelle has had a long-standing relationship with our family. I've met him many

times. On the other hand, your family certainly doesn't have any of Mirabelle's artwork, which is why

you don't recognize the landscape painting."

“Mirabelle has never painted a landscape.” Arabella said nonchalantly, “Yours is a fake"

“A fake?"

At this, everyone was stunned.

The folks at Westerly College couldn't believe how confident Arabella was in declaring the landscape

painting a fake.

And Nancy, she was absolutely livid. Just as she was about to demand proof from Arabella, she

noticed Serena frantically signaling her.
