“Oh my god…“
Right when Luna’s finger pierced through the painting, Alice exclaimed in shock, “This is Mr. Allen’s
favorite painting! Luna, even if you hate me, you don’t have to go so far as to destroy this painting just
because I like it?“
There were not many people in the exhibition hall at night, and the spot where they stood was darkly lit,
so initially, no one noticed the ruckus going on between them.
With Alice’s shout, everyone turned their attention to them.
Before Luna could regain her footing, the crowd’s critical stares and words of reproach were heard.
“Why did you come to an art exhibition if you didn’t appreciate art?“
“Apparently, someone once offered Master Allen ten million dollars to buy this piece of art but he
refused! “
“Oh my god, can she afford to compensate him?
“Jealous women are so crazy, destroying it just because someone else liked it?“
The rumble of the crowd’s discussion was heard clearly.
Luna smiled wryly.
She drowned out the voices behind her and turned to look at the hole on the painting she accidentally
made with her finger.
All along, she thought Alice was a quiet opportunist, someone who never wore their emotions on their
face.
After all, to pour her time and effort into learning everything about someone else, and disguise herself
as that person required a lot of patience and determination.
But she was wrong.
Alice Gibson was much more despicable than she thought.
“Miss.“
Behind her, the cold voice of the exhibition manager rang out, “You will have to suffer the
consequences for destroying Master Allen’s painting. I’ll give you three options, firstly, monetary
compensation, second, replace the painting with a brand new one and lastly, legal action. Which one
would you prefer?“
Luna turned and glanced at the manager. “What if I told you there’s a hidden truth behind destroying
the painting?“
Alice laughed lightly, “Ms. Luna destroyed this painting intentionally because she didn’t like me, what
hidden truth can there be?“
Then, she turned and looked at the manager, acting high and righteous, “But since she put it that way,
we should take a look at the CCTV recording. What if she’s indeed innocent?“
The manager considered it for a second. “Please follow me.“
The group of them went to the surveillance room.
“Manager, because of our mistake while displaying the paintings, the location where this painting was
displayed…“
The staff member in the surveillance room bit his lip and said, “Is not within the camera’s radius.“
“Is this how you work?! “
The manager was about to explode with anger when the staff member hurriedly opened his mouth to
make up for his mistake. “But when I was looking through the recording just now, I noticed someone
was standing in the spot where he would’ve clearly seen everything that happened! And according to
the CCTV recording, when the incident occurred, his eyes were fixed in the direction of the painting! As
long as we can get him to testify…“
The manager frowned, “So bring him here right now, quick! “
Their conversation made Alice’s brows screw tightly together.
When she was pushing Luna…
She made sure there were no CCTVs and no witnesses!
How could it be…
She paused and stepped forward. “It’s hardly fair to rely on a witness’ testimony. Humans are not Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
machines, they can’t be 100% fair, what if that person is Luna’s friend, then we would get tricked,
wouldn’t we?”
The manager paused and looked at the person on the CCTV recording.
“This person wouldn’t lie.”
He laughed lightly and pointed at the person on the recording. “Mrs. Lynch, this is Mr. Lynch, right?
Alice stiffened and immediately looked over —— The person on the screen was indeed Joshua.
