Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 221

After Haton played cymbals, the host continued with the next session.

“Dear audience and guests, we’ll play a game now.

“Our team received some antiquities. Some of them are real and the rest. are fake. Now we’ll put them

on display, and for those that are real, we’ll donate them to the National Museum for free.”

Hearing this, several guests applauded

Then, the staff presented those items to the stage.

The host went to the far left first and took out an ancient framed painting.

was

The host introduced, “This is the painting named Frameless, drawn by the famous ancient painter

Rembrandt van Rijn. But the painting passed around too long and not well preserved. The lower right

corner was soaked with water.”

In the lower right corner of the painting, there was a mark where the ink had been smudged, which

destroyed the beauty of the entire painting.

The host looked in the direction of Cara and asked with a smile, “Cara, since you are an expert at

landscape oil painting, is this painting authentic or fake?”

Cara walked to the painting, looked at it carefully for a few minutes, picked up the microphone, and

replied, “The Frameless should be a fake.”

Netizens in the livestream room were instantly stunned.

[Damn it! A fake? How could she tell it?]

[Why do I feel like it’s real?]

Then, the host looked in Ashley’s direction. “How do you think it, Ashley?”

Ashley nodded. “It’s a fake.”

[How come Ashley repeats Cara’s words?]

[Ashley jumped to conclusions without even walking over to observe it. How hasty it is!]

[Take it easy. As a renowned restorer, Charlie could tell the difference.]

As expected, the host looked at Charlie next to him and asked, “Mr. Ramos, you have restored many

cultural relics, including some ancient paintings. Can you help us identify the authenticity of this

painting on the spot?”

Charlie stared at the painting for a few seconds, then raised the microphone. “This painting is a fake.”

Hearing this answer, the host was surprised for a moment. The program had asked professionals to

identify it in advance, and the host had already got the result.

It was normal for Charlie to tell it, but he didn’t expect Cara and Ashley to authenticate it.

The host immediately looked at Cara, who was the first to identify the fake, and asked curiously, “How

did you identify it, Cara?”

Cara smiled softly and elegantly, “I am good at landscape oil painting and have a certain understanding

of it. Rembrandt van Rijn’s painting focuses on the contrast of light and shade, and he always uses

light to shape the three-dimensional sense of scenery. However, the light in this painting is simple, and

there is no obvious contrast between light and shade.

“Moreover, Rembrandt van Rijn is one with perverse behavior, which leads to a rich level of his

paintings. He always used bright colors to vent his emotions, and his paintings can present a strong

conflict of basis. But while this painting does its best to imitate his brushstrokes, it still falls short of his

maniacal state of painting.”

After hearing this, the host looked at Charlie for confirmation.

Charlie nodded, indicating that what Cara said was correct.

Netizens were immediately shocked.

[She actually explained it well. How awesome she is! Cara knows a lot, and I have never heard the

terms she mentioned.]

[I couldn’t resist the gentle and talented Cara. I finally understand the reason netizens supported her,

and I almost fell in love with her.]

[Ashley said the same as Cara. She answered right, either.]

[Don’t be kidding. Ashley didn’t even check the painting. She must talk

Chapter 221

nonsense causally, and she even repeated Cara’s words.]

Netizens talked enthusiastically, and the show continued.

The second one was Voynich’s manuscript.

Cara could identify authenticity and even explained the reason, so the host looked at her first. “Do you

think this Voynich’s manuscript is real or fake?”

Cara still walked up to it, stared at it carefully for a few minutes, and then shook her head. “It must be a

fake.”

Bryce and Haton had no idea about it, so they just made a casual guess.

Then, the host looked at Ashley. “What do you think, Ashley?”

Ashley answered concisely, “It’s fake.”

The host finally looked at Charlie.

Charlie’s answer was the most authoritative at present for them. He raised the microphone and replied,

“Cara is right. It is a fake.”

He only mentioned Cara, which meant he only took Cara’s answer seriously.

The host exclaimed in admiration, “The program had asked professionals. to identify it in advance.

Everyone answered correctly. Voynich’s

manuscript is a fake.”

[Damn it! Cara was right again!]

[I am indeed fond of Cara. She knows too much. How elegant and talented she is!]

[Ashley answered without checking carefully. Did she really copy Cara’s answer?]

[Ashley is good at dancing, composing, designing, and car racing, but cultural relic appreciation cannot

be learned overnight. If she doesn’t understand, there is no need for her to copy someone else’s

answer. I’m disgusted with her behavior.]

[Don’t go too far. What if Ashley came up with it on her own?]

[How funny it is! I bet Ashley’s next answer is the same as Cara’s. Otherwise, I’ll pay for my words.]

Then, the host presented a porcelain dish.

The host still asked Cara to answer first.

Cara looked at it carefully for a while and smiled modestly and gently, “I have no idea about porcelain.

But I feel it should be real after checking it.”

Bryce and Haton still answered casually, and they gave different answers.

When it was Ashley’s turn, she nodded slightly. “It’s real.”

Finally, Charlie gave an authoritative answer. “Cara is still so humble. You are right. The porcelain dish

is real.”

After speaking, Charlie turned to look at Ashley and frowned slightly. He wondered why Ashley always

copied Cara’s answer.

If Cara said it was a fake, Ashley said the same. If not, Ashley still repeated Cara’s words.

Charlie didn’t understand why Ashley copied Cara’s answer.

Hearing Ashley’s answer, the netizens began to weigh in.

[I guessed it right. Ashley gave the same answer as Cara. She obviously copied Cara.]

[Why did she have to copy Cara’s answer when she didn’t understand it? How excellent Cara is! I have

never seen such a talented celebrity before. I have been obsessed with her.]

[Host, can you ask Ashley first? I look forward to her answer. If she can’t

others’ answers, she will show her true colors.]

Next was a jewel.

The host said, “A collector gave the jewel to us, which was designed by the famous designer Jean

Schlumberger. This jewel is of high artistic value. If it is real, we’ll donate it to the National Museum for

free.”

Hearing the name of Jean Schlumberger, the audience all looked over attentively.

But the host didn’t go as the netizens wished and still asked Cara to answer first.

Cara put on the specific gloves prepared by the program and put on two layers of gloves with different

materials. Then, she picked up the jewel

and observed it carefully several times. Finally, she shook her head regretfully. “What a pity! It’s a fake.”

Bryce and Haton didn’t understand, and they still answered casually.

The next one was Ashley. She didn’t stand still this time but put on gloves, picked up the jewel, and

looked up and down.

[She finally pretended to observe it. But it’s too late. She didn’t. understand it, so her answer is of no

value.]

[She seems to be professional. Did she copy Cara’s posture just now?]

[Again, I bet Ashley will give the same answer as Cara’s after she pretends. to observe it. Otherwise,

I’m at your mercy.]

At this moment, Ashley put down the jewel in her hand and said calmly, “It’s real.”

When she finished speaking, the host looked shocked.

Netizens in the livestream room fell into confusion.

[Did I hear it correctly? Why is it different this time?]

[She must do it on purpose. She didn’t dare to copy Cara’s answer, so she deliberately gave a contrary

answer.]

Cara was stunned for a while, then looked at Ashley with a smile and said gently, “You are wrong,

Ashley. The jewel must be a fake.”
