Chapter 42 Torching the Painting "Brittany, if you can't see what's happening here, I suggest you get yourself a pair of glasses. I'm toasting, not burning the painting. Where do you get the idea that I'm trying to set it on fire?" "Yes! You are toasting it with fire! But open your eyes and really look- it's already charred and on the verge of catching fire!" Brittany protested.

Nicholas was just as clueless, joking with befuddlement, “Daniel, I didn't make any bet with you this time! I didn't say I'd give you two hundred million if you turned this painting to ash!" "Relax, I know what I'm doing. It won't turn to ash!" Daniel said confidently.

No sooner had Daniel spoken than a small flshot from the center of the scroll and ignited the entire painting.

Brittany, pointing to the blazing painting, complained animatedly to Jessica, "Look Jessica, this loser has set the painting on fire. It's worth three or four million dollars, and he's just lit it up! In a little while, the painting will be nothing but a pile of ashes, completely destroyed and worthless!" As the fiery blaze consumed the painting, Jessica's eyebrows knitted slightly, "Why would you burn the painting?" "Because it will be reborn from the flames!" Daniel had barely spoken when Brittany quickly interrupted. "Nonsense! A painting's a painting on paper! How can it be reborn from fire?" Just then, the flames suddenly extinguished.

The scroll was still in Daniel's hand but now charred and crackled. The painting hadn't turned to ash, and it still retained its original shape, but it was clearly scorched.

Brittany saw her chance and hurriedly pointed at the painting in Daniel's hand, urging Jessica, “Look, Jessica, the idiot destroyed Monet's painting, burned it to ash, you need to punish him!" "The painting is still intact, isn't it?" Daniel countered.

"It's about to turn to ash! If you don't believe me, shake it! With just a light shake, it'll turn into a pile of paper ash!" "Really? Then watch carefully as I shake the painting!" Daniel walked over to Brittany and abruptly gave the scroll a vigorous shake. The black ash that had been burned onto the paper suddenly billowed up, covering Brittany's face.

Her fair and delicate cheeks instantly turned pitch black, "Ah... Ahhhhh...” Brittany screeched.

Chapter 42 Torching the Painting "Jessica, look how he's picking on me. Waaah..." Jessica's face darkened with anger as she sternly told Daniel, "Apologize right now!"

"I'm sorry, Brittany! It's my fault.

painting, I didn't When I shook the ection, and all watch for the wind the ash from the paper ended up on your face."

"I don't accept your apology, you did it on purpose! You're purposefully bullying me, you wanted to blacken my face! Bullying, according to TMO's rules, you should be fired! Jessica, you must fire him!" "Brittany, relax. Daniel has already apologized, and as a senior staff member, you should be more forgiving!"

Jessica's response shocked Brittany. Daniel bullied her like this, and m Jessica still defended that loser? Daniel's apology had no sincerity at all! It was not an apology!
