No Way Back by Anna Mac

“What?”

Madelyn did not expect such an answer.

They might as well have rejected her request and refunded her, then. At least she would not have

wasted her money.

“But… We found some clues about the painting that Jane made public during the competition.”

“At a charity dinner overseas a few years ago, we found a painting that was auctioned off for 2 million

dollars. It was donated to charity. It’s very similar to the style of painting she made public.”

“The author of that painting is called-X. However, we can’t find the artist anymore. A few years ago, he

occasionally appeared at famous comic book conventions abroad. The paintings he drew were all

featured and made into art installations at those conventions.”

A similar style….

Madelyn pursed her lips.

She could create a hashtag called [Jane Plagiarized].

“I understand. Let me see that painting.”

“There’s one more thing… The inspiration for Jane’s painting composition clashed with that of M.YS..

who won the Picasso Painting Competition twice in a row recently. M.YS. is also known as the most

talented and unparalleled painter among the younger generation. At the moment, we only investigated

these two important pieces of information.”

M.Y.S?

Madelyn could not help but gasp.

Nowadays, if those who ****painting did not know the existence of a big shot like M.Y.S, it would be

equivalent to saying that they had no idea who Van Gogh or Picasso was

But no one knew M.Y.S’s real name, and very few people had even seen M.Y.S. However, M.Y.S had

reached the peak the moment he debuted.

He won the Van Gogh Newcomer’s Outstanding Award.

And he won the Picasso World Championship the following year.

It had been five years since M.Y.S debuted.

Not long ago, he won the Picasso World Championship again.

That was two consecutive championships.

The Picasso World Championship was held every three years.

One could say that M.Y.S was the defending champion.

This was unprecedented. Nothing like this ever happened in the history of the Picasso World.

Championship.

No one expected M.Y.S to be able to defend the title twice in a row.

This time, talent had won over all the rules and prejudices.

After seeing M.Y.S’s work, the judges unanimously voted for M.Y.S.

They could no longer accommodate the other contestants.

Some people were born dazzling and were destined to shine as brightly as stars in the sky.

Whereas the rest of the generation, born with the bright star, was destined to be reduced to

accompaniment.

Although Madelyn was upset…

But after seeing M.Y.S’s work, she was completely devastated.

And she was willing to yield.

She was no match for him.

Just like the original painting Jane had shown at the National University Competition. It dazzled

everyone.

All the contestants were overshadowed.

Although Madelyn’s aspiration was not to become a painter, she wanted to enter the entertainment

industry and become the best actress.

However, after knowing about M.Y.S.’s glorious achievements and seeing his paintings, Madelyn could

be said to be his fan.

It was human nature to admire the powerful and talented.

“These two pieces of information are excellent. Send me the specific details. I want to check it myself.”

Madelyn was overjoyed.

If she could catch Jane red-handed…

M.Y.S. had a huge number of fans worldwide.

Jane would be destroyed.

Especially on an international stage like the World Series, which brought honor to the country.

If Jane had such a huge scandal….

Jane would be destroyed, once and for all.

Jane had no idea about Madelyn’s scheme.

When she returned to the apartment, she was completely exhausted.

She could not help but sigh.

“Being too famous is not a good thing…”

The next time she went to school, Jane decided to put on makeup and conceal herself.

Otherwise, she would be surrounded by people asking for autographs and photos.

At that moment…

Her phone vibrated.

Lila sent her a message.

[Janie, you’re so famous now. My friends and family are asking me for your contact information and your autograph.]

Jane replied with a sad emoji. [This isn’t what I want.]

Lila said, [There, there. Anyway, it’s just a temporary thing. Just ignore them. It will pass quickly.] That was human nature.

Indeed, it felt good when she first became popular.

However, when Jane ignored them and did not boost her popularity, her popularity rose to another level.

But soon, she would be replaced by new hashtags, and other internet celebrities would divert

everyone’s attention.

Netizens’ memories were similar to those of goldfish.

All of them lasted three seconds.

Jane continued chatting with Lila for a while.

At that moment…

Hugh sent a message to Jane.

Hugh said, [I’ll be back in Stormton City at seven o’clock tomorrow night.]

Hugh’s flight had been scheduled for nine in the evening.

However, because his private jet still needed maintenance, the pilot would only take off when they were fully prepared.

Otherwise… If something did happen, they would die tens of thousands of meters above the ground.

But he desperately wanted to fly back to Stormton City to see Jane again.

Therefore, Hugh chose not to fly in his private jet.

Instead, he went to the airport to catch a plane.

Only then could he return to Stormton City sooner.

Jane said, [Okay, I’ll send you the location when the time comes. I’ll invite you over for a meal and bring some friends over. Hahaha.]

Seeing this, Hugh smiled.

But immediately, he felt a little unhappy.

It was Jane’s treat.

But Connor and Robert, those two brats, would get to enjoy a free meal, too.

Hmph.
