Chapter 258
Bettany held the invitation letter, her heart pounding so fast that it was about to jump out.
She read the words over and over again, feeling like she was in a dream.
Would such a good thing really happen to her?
Bettany was not a hesitant person.
At such a young age, she had already taken on the burden of the family. This had trained her to be a
decisive person.
Since she had already gotten the invitation, she had to give it her all.
As she did not understand this competition, Bettany planned to ask Doris.
She ran downstairs with the invitation letter in her arms. After running a few steps, she turned back and went upstairs to get a painting she had drawn.
In the Taylor family, Doris was in the process of designing.
This competition was very important to her, so she had to give it her all.
Seeing Bettany walk over, Doris was a little surprised. “Why are you here?”
Bettany hugged the invitation letter. As she ran too quickly, she could not catch her breath.
It took a while for her to catch her breath.
“Doris, look!” Her eyes were bright like the stars in the sky.
Doris was instantly stunned.
She had never seen such a bright and dazzling Bettany. It seemed that ever since she met Bettany, Bettany had always been depressed. Although she was energetic and decisive, there was always a hint of worry in her
in her eyes.
“I can participate in the competition with you!” Bettany couldn’t control her excitement and showed the invitation to Doris.
At first, Doris did not react and thought that Bettany was joking. However, when she lowered her head, she saw the seal of the Painting Association on the invitation.
There was also Bettany’s name written on it.
Doris’s pupils constricted and her nails dug into her palms. She was too surprised and couldn’t believe it. “What’s wrong, Doris?” Seeing Doris’s stiff expression, Bettany seemed to have realized something.
This time, it did not seem like a good idea for her to come and look for Doris!
Bettany was a little vexed. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The moment she received the invitation, she was too excited. Her mind was in a daze and she did not consider everything.
She only thought that Doris would also be participating in this competition. The two of them would have a companion to talk to.
However, she had forgotten that if she participated in this competition, she and Doris would be competitors.
“Ah, I’m fine.” Doris brushed her hair behind her ear and explained to Bettany with a smile, “I’m sorry. I was just too surprised just now. I didn’t mean anything else.”
Bettany looked up and carefully observed Doris’s expression. Seeing that Doris really did not seem to mind, she relaxed.
“Olivia gave this to me.” Bettany’s fingertips rubbed the words on the invitation letter lovingly. “Olivia?” Doris frowned. After reacting for a while, she realized who Olivia was.
She couldn’t help but tug at Bettany’s sleeve and ask anxiously, “Are you talking about Olivia Taylor? My

second sister?”
Bettany nodded and looked at Doris curiously. “Doris, what’s the relationship between Olivia and your family? She told me that she’s only staying at your house temporarily. Actually, she has nothing to do with your family.”
Doris looked a little flustered. She stuttered, “Well, I can’t say for sure. Actually, I don’t know who she is either.”
“Oh.” Bettany didn’t continue asking.
She took out the painting she brought over and was a little embarrassed. “Doris, can you help me take a look? You know, I learned how to draw on my own. I’m not as good as you, so I want to ask you for help and give me some advice.”
If it was before today, Doris would definitely not waste time examining Bettany’s paintings.
But…
Her gaze moved up and landed on the invitation letter. Her eyes gradually darkened.
“Then I’ll help you take a look. It just so happens that we’re going to participate in the competition together and have a companion.” Doris reached out to take the painting from Bettany’s hand. Doris’s hand that was holding the painting suddenly froze when her gaze landed on the oil painting. This painting… The concept of this painting was actually very similar to the one she was painting now. The difference was that Bettany had already finished painting and she was thinking about the layout and color scheme.
Doris gripped the painting so tightly that her knuckles turned pale.
She read it again and again, looking at the painting Smoke in Village.
The composition and color of this painting far exceeded hers.
The painting Madonna she had seen previously had already shocked her enough. She did not expect this painting to be far better than that.
How did that happen?
Didn’t Bettany never learn how to paint before?
At this moment, Doris only felt that she had suffered a deep blow and could not muster any energy at all.
Doris asked Bettany a few times before forcing a smile and saying, “Bettany, put the painting here first. I’ll take my time to look at it. I’ll tell you in a few days.”
“Alright.” Bettany nodded. Then, she looked at Doris with concern and said in a worried tone, “Doris, you don’t look too good. Are you feeling unwell?”
Doris forced a smile. “Yes, I’ve been drawing recently. I didn’t sleep well at night.”
Bettany comforted her and bade farewell to Doris.
After Bettany left, Doris hung up the painting Smoke in Village and traced it with her fingertips.
She drew another one herself.
However, it always looked a little awkward and was not as good as the original.
The more Doris looked at it, the angrier she became. In the end, she tore off the painting she had drawn, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it a few times.
It was impossible for her to be inferior to Bettany. She couldn’t accept it.
Doris shook her head like she was possessed.
Daniel did not have a good month. He was like a resentful husband who had been abandoned by his wife.
His face was unhappy all day long.
Ellis had been secretly criticizing him, saying that his menopause had been brought forward.
Although Daniel could not hear Ellis’s criticism, he had a smart brain and sharp eyes.

It could be seen that under the warm exterior of Ellis, there was a heart with evil intentions.
Therefore, he sent Ellis to the Northernmost Continent.
Because of Ellis’s departure, everyone in the CEO’s office kept quiet out of fear that they would anger the CEO who had premature menopause, and be sent to the Northernmost Continent.
Everyone in the CEO’s office was as obedient as a cat.
Daniel could not even vent his anger. He could only bury his frustration in his heart.
He was really sad, extremely sad.
He knew about Olivia’s plan to be hypnotized. He knew it very clearly from the beginning to the end. Olivia felt that he was her boyfriend and had the right to know all this, so she told him in advance.
To be honest, Daniel did not agree to Olivia taking the risk at all.
Unfortunately, he did not dare to say it.
Other domineering CEOs were able to manipulate their wives.
But in front of Olivia, he was timid and obedient to her.
The comparison was too tragic!
The depressed Daniel returned home every day and didn’t like his son Andrew.
His son was completely useless!
