Mrs. Gibson, Your Identily Is Exposed

Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Gift

“Well…” Melissa smiled, “What I brought for Marc cannot be regarded as a gift.”

She took a painting from the bag, “This painting is Jack Anne’s authentic work ‘Peony Lady’. My grandfather asked me to give it to you. He said at his first sight; he knew it should belong to you. It is not a gift; it was born for you; it was your thing.”

“Thank him for me,” Marc said in surprise as he took the painting and studied it carefully.

Adela looked at the painting in disbelief. The painting was vivid and lifelike. It was made by a great painter and was worth a lot.

In contrast, her tonic looked dull.

Marc had always been a fan of painting. Now he was happy. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

How so?

How could Melissa have such a valuable painting?

Could it be fake?

Yes, it must be a fake!

Thinking of this, Adela blurted out, “Ms. Eugen, what do you mean by giving Mr. Marc a fake?”

A fake? Melissa frowned. Her grandfather had asked her to give it to Marc, so, it wouldn’t be a fake.

Adela said this because she thought that Melissa was poor from the countryside.

“Ms. Yale, are you doubting Marc’s judgment? You think Mr. Marc can’t distinguish between genuine and fake?” Melissa curled her lips and her tone was sarcastic.

Adela was embarrassed. “That’s not what I meant, but Jill’s authentic works are worth a lot. Where did you get it?”

“What? Ms. Yale, do you mean I stole it?” Melissa asked coldly.

“This painting is real,” Murray, who had been at the side, suddenly said.

He looked at Melissa with curiosity.

He was also wondering where Melissa got such a pricey painting.

Murray felt that Melissa was not simple these days.

Murray helping Melissa made Adela upset. “But…”

Before Adela could finish, Melissa interrupted, “This painting is real, but Ms. Yale’s dress…”

She deliberately paused for a moment and smiled sarcastically. “It is fake.”

Adela cried out, “What are you saying? My dress was designed by Loe, the international master. You don’t even know who Loe is. Don’t talk rubbish!”

Melissa smiled.

The dress that Adela was wearing was exquisite and nice. But after Melissa looked at it carefully, she knew it was a knockoff.

The studio only produced two pieces of this dress.

One was bought by a movie star, the other was bought by the Princess of Yorwald.

So, the one on Adela could only be a knockoff.

It could tell from Adela’s expression that she didn’t know she had bought a fake.

“As far as I know, there will be a heart-shaped mark on the inner lining of the dress. Ms. Yale, you can see if you have it in this dress.” Melissa curled her lips.

She designed that mark and Nina sewed it herself. So, it couldn’t be imitated.

“What mark? I’ve never heard of it. You’re talking through your hat!” Adela disagreed. Adela thought Melissa said this deliberately.

Melissa took out her phone and looked at it. “Ms. Yale, you can look at the trending topics.”

Adela was stunned. “Trending topics?”

Melissa smiled. “Loe has launched a new Ailsa series. There is an introduction to this heart-shaped mark on it.”

Perfect timing.

Once the Ailsa series made its debut, it was ranked first in the trending topics.

It detailed Loe’s design concept, including the mark.

Adela opened her phone suspiciously and saw the hot news.

Nina said that every piece of clothing produced by Loe Studio had a heart-shaped mark as a security feature.

However, the dress she was wearing didn’t.

Adela was dumbfounded. She spent a lot of money buying a fake and even lost her face in front of Murray!

Even Sarah looked at Adela suspiciously.

What a shame!

Adela glared at Melissa angrily and didn’t know what to say.

Why did Melissa know so much?

Murray suddenly approached Melissa and whispered in her ear, “How did you know?”

He remembered Loe Studio had never mentioned this mark before.

“My friend told me.” Melissa raised her eyebrows.

Murray didn’t buy it. It was the first time even he had heard of the mark.

“Alright. Jose, let’s go eat.” Sarah changed the topic to help Adela out.

Jose looked at Marc with a questioning gaze, and Marc nodded.

Melissa sat down in front of the dining table and inadvertently glanced over. She saw a photo on the side.

Marc was hugging a white puppy in the photo.

This puppy …. seemed familiar.

“Is the dog in the photo Mr. Marc’s?” she asked Murray while tilting her head.

Murray followed Melissa’s gaze and looked at the photo.

A hint of sadness appeared on his face. “It was raised by my grandmother when she was still alive. Its name is Dolly. Two years ago, when my grandmother passed away, it secretly ran away,” he said.

Murray had people search for a long time, but Dolly wasn’t found. Murray knew that it was his regret for Marc.

“I see.” Melissa was deep in thought.
