Chapter 169 She Really Regrets It! 1/5 Adam's smile, which had been soaring high a moment ago, now slightly faltered.
However, he knew he had to keep up appearances for Lucy's sake. It wouldn't do to make her feel uncomfortable.
Catching Cathy's hint, Lucy brought out a painting she had purchased at a high price from an auction.
"Sir Shawn, this is my gift to you. An oil painting. I hope you like it." Admas unfolded the painting, revealing a painting symbolizing love to the crowd.
Cathy, always eager to stir up , exclaimed, "Wow, Lucy, that's a beautiful painting! I think it's much better than the painting we saw earlier. And you can tell this artist is very talented. It must have cost a pretty penny!" Lucy smiled faintly. "It wasn't that expensive. Chloe really wanted this painting too, and I felt a bit sorry about it." Chloe was taken aback, realizing Lucy was gifting the very painting she had admired at the auction.
Hearing her nmentioned, Chloe quickly waved her hand dismissively.
Chapter 169 She Really Regrets It! "It's just a painting, no need to be sorry." 2/5 The painting was indeed well-executed, but Admas's proper preference lay in the landscape painting Chloe gifted. It wasn't about the cost.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe instructed the maid to put the painting away, offering not further comment.
Cathy, however, was not about to let it go. "Chloe, you gave a painting too. Why don't you compare the two and tell us which one is better?" "Paintings that express love and those of landscapes have different styles and content. Although that landscape painting seems simpler, if you really get down to it, the landscape painting is certainly superior." She wouldn't dare to compare herself to a world-renowned master of painting.
She was just a nobody, and that oil painting was the best she had ever done.
Yet it didn't even cclose to eighty percent of the master's skill.
Cathy's eyes flashed with disdain as she listened to Chloe's relentless praise for her gift.
"You're not just praising that painting because you gave it, are Chapter 169 She Really Regrets It! you? I think Lucy's oil painting is better, if you ask me." 3/5 She was determined to go against Chloe, even rallying the entire Shawn family to judge which painting was more aesthetically pleasing.
Victoria and Jennifer naturally sided with Cathy.
Michael stood by Chloe.
Ben and Lisa were the only ones left.
"Uncle Ben, what do you think?" Michael asked.
He still addressed Ben as "Uncle" respectfully, but there was not much respect in his tone.
Instead, it sounded more like mockery.
Ben smiled and said, "I'm old, I don't understand these young people's things." In the Shawn family, offending anyone was not a good thing.
Before, he had hired Jioleek to play a trick on Michael, and Michael still held a grudge against him.
If he said something wrong today, Michael might take revenge on his company.
It was better not to cause trouble.

"Uncle Ben, it's just two paintings. Which one do you like better? What's so tricky about such a simple question?" Cathy was somewhat displeased; she just wanted to see Chloe embarrassed! "Today is Dad's birthday. His preference is the most important thing. What matters if I like it or not?" Ben glanced at Admas, determined not to get involved in today's conflict.
Cathy couldn't persuade him, so she turned her attention to Lisa again. "What do you think, Lisa?" Lisa had no say in the Shawn family.
Based on her preferences, she just said that she still preferred the oil painting Lucy gifted.
"But I'm not saying that the landscapes painting is not good. I just can't understand it."
She wanted to avoid offending both sides, but from the moment sham expressed her opinion, she had actually taken sides.
Now, more people were choosing Lucy's gift; Cathy proudly looked up at Chloe and sneered, chleo, you see, I told you everyone still likes the oil painting Lucy gifted more!" Chloe nodded thoughtfully. "Well, I didn't expect this painting to be liked by so many people." Chapter 169 She Really Regrets It! She was underestimating herself a bit.
She couldn't believe her painting was so famous.
