Chapter 348: This Painting is Plagiarized

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Who is the author of this painting? Where are the

staff?"

Before long, an art gallery staff member approached. "Hello, sir. How can | assist you?"

"Please contact the author of this painting for me. | want them to create a portrait for my mother's seventieth

birthday."

The staff member looked at the person apologetically. "I'm very sorry, sir. The author of this painting is our boss,

and he doesn't take private commissions."

As soon as the staff member finished speaking, Tina's demeanor changed tically. Walter, well played!

"Can you call your boss over so we can talk?" the person persisted.

Just then, Walter walked over. "Who wantsto paint something?"

The man clearly recognized Walter. "Isn't this Mr. Farrell? Is this art gallery also yours?"

Everyone in the circle knew about the Farrell family. Whether it was the previously arrogant Nathaniel or Ronan

who was always tinkering with motorcycles, everyone knew them. Whether it was Walter, Vivienne, or even the

youngest Orson and Sophia, they were all well-known.

If there was anyone people didn't know much about, it might be Jared, who was considered disabled by many.

Information about him was scarce.

But everyone else in the Farrell family was recognizable.

"Of course. You can ask how many art galleries in Ashbury aren't mine," Walter said disdainfully.

The man didn't dare offend Walter and bent his back slightly. "Yes, yes. | wondered why this painting looked so

extraordinary; it's because it's yours."

"It's good that you appreciate it. As for your mother's portrait, I'll have someone from my company paint it for

you as a token of appreciation."

The man felt humiliated by Walter's public rejection but could only force a smile and thank him.

Walter snorted coldly and scanned the crowd until he saw Jared and Tina at the back.

He smiled and said, "Today is my art exhibition. I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce two distinguished

guests."

He pointed to Jared. "This is my cousin Jared; I'm sure everyone knows him."

The crowd turned to look and gasped.

"Isn't Jared supposed to be disabled? How is he standing? Am | seeing things?"

Only a few close families in Ashbury knew that Jared's legs had been 'cured.' It wasn't publicly mentioned.

So many people didn't know that Jared's legs were already healed.

"You're not seeing things; | saw him walk in earlier. He's standing right there."

"My goodness! The Farrell family really has deep pockets. They must have found smiracle doctor to cure his

disability!"

"Knowing such a powerful doctor solidifies the Farrell family's position in Ashbury even more."

While people were still talking, Walter pointed at Tina and continued, "This is his fiancée, Tina. She and my

cousin are already engaged."

After the Reed family hosted their engagement banquet, the Farrell family planned to hold another event to

publicly announce Tina and Jared's engagement. However, due to Logan accidentally sitting in Jared's car and

getting attacked, the event was postponed indefinitely.

Tina didn't want to set a date because she had been very busy lately and didn't have tfor any banquets.

As a result, many people still didn't know that Tina was Jared's fiancée.

Although Mack had livestreamed twice before and many younger people online knew about their relationship,

most of today's attendees were company directors who rarely paid attention to gossip news. So no one here

knew.

When everyone focused on Tina, swere stunned.

"Isn't she Tina from the Reed family?"

The Reed family had hosted an event for Tina that caught everyone's attention within their circle.

After all, Jasper's devotion to Natalie was something everyone admired and called a fairy-tale romance.

And recently they had acknowledged Lily into their family, pushing the Reed family into the spotlight again.

So every member of the Reed family had been scrutinized by netizens due to their high profile; these industry

insiders couldn't help but notice them.

"No wonder | saw Jared close to Miss Reed at the engagement banquet last time; it turns out the Farrell and Reed

families are joining forces."

"The top two families are forming an alliance! That's a powerful combination!"

"I must say, Miss Reed is truly beautiful. She's dressed simply but looks like she stepped out of a painting."

Listening to everyone's praise made Walter's face darken. He wasn't here to hear people compliment Jared and

Tina.

With Nathaniel out of the picture, no one could stand in his way anymore.

Walter smiled and said, "You two got engaged withoutpreparing a gift. Today I'll give this painting as a gift to

my sister-in-law."

He pointed at the painting's frame. "And let's have Tina give us her critique."

All eyes turned to Tina. As the daughter of the Reed family, evaluating a painting should be no problem for her.

Tina looked up at him with her hands in her pockets and a hint of defiance in her demeanor. "How dare you ask

Everyone was shocked!

Plagiarized?

How could that be?

They had never seen another artist display this painting before today.

Walter's eyes flashed with surprise but quickly regained composure. "I kindly offer you a gift, yet you reject it

with such an accusation? Do you know that accusing an artist of plagiarism is one of the greatest insults?" Tina

laughed mischievously. "So you're sure you didn't plagiarize?"

"Of course I'm sure!" Walter replied confidently.

As soon as he spoke, someone backed him up. "Miss Reed, you shouldn't make baseless accusations without

evidence."

"Yes, if you claim Mr. Farrell plagiarized, where's your proof?"

Tina glanced at these two men-they were the ones who wanted Walter to paint earlier-and then looked back at

Walter with a cold smile. "When did you paint this?"

"A few years ago!" Walter answered without hesitation.

Tina sneered. "A few years ago? Using paint that was only released this year?"

Walter froze for a moment; she could even tell that!

Indeed, this painting used paint that had only been developed this year.

This new paint had brighter colors and longer oxidation times; most artists were using it now.

"Yes, this painting does use new paint because its colors are more precise and easier to mix," Walter admitted

reluctantly.

"That's right; it's newly developed paint-I just bought syesterday."
