Chapter 1000
Serena, sitting to one side, pleaded, "Please stop praising her! If Mirabelle realizes everyone is
complimenting her, she'll be over the moon!"
At this moment, Arabella pulled out her phone, preparing to take care of some personal affairs.
Unexpectedly, Nancy, feeling superior, suddenly hushed everyone around her, then lifted her eyes
arrogantly towards Arabella.
“With your perfect academic record and broad knowledge, surely you have some unique insights. Why
not give your opinion on this art piece and tell us what's so special about it?"
If someone with a perfect academic record came from a privileged family, then not being able to
recognize the artist or style of this art piece or not knowing what made it special just showed a lack of
exposure and knowledge.
If she came from humble beginnings, no matter how great her academic achievements were, she still
cannot compare to them, the privileged daughters of wealthy families.
So, regardless of how Arabella responded to this question, she will either be mocked for her lack of
knowledge or her humble background.
Arabella lifted her gaze to find a group of people ready to laugh at her.
She then looked at Nancy's phone, which displayed a landscape painting, presumably the one they
said was purchased for three million dollars.
Her eyes went cold, "To me, it's no better than a child’s scribbles."
Everyone was stunned by her words, and even Nancy was taken aback for a few seconds.
This naive girl dared to comment that the masterpiece of the revered Mirabelle was no better than a
child's scribbles!
It seemed not only did she come from a humble background, but she also lacked any sense of art
appreciation!!
“Seems like the top scholar only knows how to study, unable to appreciate the value of this painting.”
Nancy recovered, raising her superior smile, chuckling, “This is a new piece by the renowned artist
Mirabelle"
“Indeed! It was just auctioned off two days ago at an auction by the Austin family for three million
dollars."
“We don't blame you for not being able to appreciate fine art, but you dare to say that Mirabelle’s talent
is no better than a child's. You are not only insulting Mirabelle but also all of her fans!"
“Apologize to Mirabelle!"
Arabella smirked, looking at the girls in front of her like they were fools.
“Last year, the Collins family bought a piece by Mirabelle for ten million dollars. This year, the MeMillian
family bought another one for ten million dollars. Now, you're saying your family bought a genuine
Mirabelle for just three million dollars?"
“What's so impossible about that? The Collins and McMillian families are notorious for their
extravagance and willing to overspend. We, the Austin family, are close with Mirabelle. What’s wrong
with her giving us a discount?"
Nancy said, sounding a bit defensive.
After all, Arabella didn’t know about the relationship between the Austin family and Mirabelle and had
no evidence to prove her lying. So, she continued her bluff. What could Arabella do?
Arabella found it even more amusing, “You say you know Mirabelle? Is she male or female?"
“A man! An old gentleman!” Nancy declared confidently, “I've met him many times. He's very refined
and scholarly, with a strong artistic vibe"
Arabella could not help but chuckle, “Mirabelle is a woman and not very old.
Moreover, she never gives anyone discounts."
“How would you know? Are you claiming to know Mirabelle personally?"
Nancy insisted, “Mirabelle has had a long-standing relationship with our family. I've met him many
times. On the other hand, your family certainly doesn't have any of Mirabelle's artwork, which is why
you don't recognize the landscape painting."
“Mirabelle has never painted a landscape.” Arabella said nonchalantly, “Yours is a fake"
“A fake?"
At this, everyone was stunned.
The folks at Westerly College couldn't believe how confident Arabella was in declaring the landscape
painting a fake.
And Nancy, she was absolutely livid. Just as she was about to demand proof from Arabella, she
noticed Serena frantically signaling her.
