Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened in shock and they stared at Janet’s painting in disbelief. Even though they didn’t study art, all of them had heard of Master Nato before. He was one of the best painters in the industry and even the famous Old Mr. Collins from Sandfort City had to pay respect to Master Nato.
The boy added, “However, Master Nato never painted this art piece before and it’s really hard to find his works in the market. He disappeared a few years ago and it is a great pity in the art industry.
However, I still feel really emotional to be able to see a painting that looks similar to Master Nato’s style again today. Janet, have you met Master Nato before?” Janet shook her head in reply.
After hearing the boy’s description, everyone was dumbfounded. Even Jade couldn’t help but pat her head in realization. “He’s right! The person that I was thinking about is Master Nato! When my husband was still alive, he was a fan of his! However, looking at a painting in a similar painting style today still makes me emotional. Thank you, Janet. I like it very much.” Looking at the painting in front of her, Jade’s heart was filled with joy.
Unexpectedly, Shirley snorted coldly. “Oh my! What’s so good about this painting? Isn’t it just a copy of Master Nato’s painting? All of you say that you respect Master Nato but compliment and praise Janet for copying his painting. Aren’t you aware that this is infringement?” Shirley pointed at the crowd and said mockingly. Seeing this, Emily quickly added fuel to the fire. “Janet, don’t you think what you’ve done is inappropriate? No wonder Old Mr. Collins liked your painting so much. It turns out that you were just copying Master Nato’s paintings!”
As soon as this was said, the crowd thought that their remarks were reasonable and they began to whisper. “Turns out she was just copying Master Nato’s painting! No wonder it looks so beautiful. Even the black ink poem is amazing. It really doesn’t look like it was written by a little girl!” “I feel the same way. What a white surprise.” “Do you think that this girl may be Master Nato’s apprentice?
!” “What nonsense are you talking about? I have never heard of Master Nato accepting apprentices.” “In that case, it seems that it isn’t that shameful for Emily to steal Janet’s painting. After all, Janet is considered to have stolen Master Nato’s inspiration in terms of artistic creation.” “You’re right! Both sisters of the Jackson family are thieves!”
Standing in a distance, Henry recalled what Janet said before and said to Mason, “I think Miss Janet has mentioned that she has seen Master Nato’s painting before, so she adds some of Master Nato’s painting styles in her creations.” Mason’s eyes narrowed slightly and his thin lips softly muttered, “Nato, Janet…”
Seeing that Mason wasn’t responding, Henry added, “Young Master Mason, Miss Janet is being humiliated. Aren’t you going to stop them?!”
Mason immediately glanced at him angrily, blaming him for interrupting his thought. His thin lips parted slightly and in a low voice he said, “Stop being so reckless!”
“I…” Henry saw that Mason himself wasn’t protecting his lover so as an outsider, there wasn’t much he couldn’t say. Amidst the mocking words of the crowd, the boy with glasses walked to a corner and made a call. Old Mr. Collins was having a drink in his house when he suddenly received a call from his student.
“B*stard, why are you calling me at off hours?” Leroy anxiously said, “Old Mr. Collins, would you like to come to Jade Jackson’s 70th birthday party?” When Old Mr. Collins heard the Jackson family name, he was instantly infuriated.
Among the two daughters of the Jackson family, one lies to me and the other despises me. They made me so furious previously! I’m not going to give them a chance to provoke me again. “No.”
Even though the Jackson family had sent him an invitation, he was determined not to go. Leroy asked him again, “Old Mr. Collins, are you sure you don’t want to come?”
Old Mr. Collins was extremely furious. After drinking two more glasses of wine, he started yelling at Leroy. “B*stard, if you want to go to the party, just go by yourself. I won’t go there no matter what.” Then, after a short pause, he asked, “Why are you at the Jackson family’s party?”
