May Conner and the rest of the people who wanted to watch Xyla Quest embarrass herself quickly walked over to Xyla. They all had an annoyed expression on their faces.
As everyone watched, Xyla picked up a brush and began painting a snowy plum.
“What’s that? It looks very ordinary…”
“Yeah. It does look ordinary…”
Everyone was whispering among themselves. May didn’t say anything, but she felt the same way about it.
Slowly, Xyla put her brush down and looked at Wilmer Lacroix.
Wilmer kept his eyes on the painting of that snowy plum. There was a look of bewilderment in his eyes.
In the next second, he turned around to look at Xyla. “That looks amazing… The plum flower looks so real. The strokes you have made were fantastic! This level of prowess is something many people could never reach despite practicing for years! Even I can’t draw such perfect plum! Will you please be my teacher?” he asked.
Likewise, Sharon Lindt was stunned by how beautiful the snowy plum Xyla had drawn looked.
When Sharon heard what Wilmer said, she returned to her senses and turned to look at him in surprise.
May and everyone else were all shocked.
There were many things that they would never have expected from the beginning.
Although it looked like an ordinary painting to them, it turned out to be a fantastic work of art to Wilmer. How could that be?
Suddenly, the room went silent.
Feeling shocked by Wilmer’s positive response, she shook her head. “How could I be your teacher? You’re the most famous artist in the country. I don’t think I can live up to that,” Xyla said.
She was equally surprised that Wilmer would be this impressed by her painting.
When her master first taught her how to draw, he had praised her for being naturally talented. He had likened her to a prodigy of the century. After Xyla’s master had taught her the basics, he had always praised her for her work. In fact, he would often compare her to some other well-known artists in the country. However, Xyla had always thought that her master was exaggerating it.
Suddenly, everyone began saying nice things about Xyla.
“Amazing… I was just going to say that this pretty lady must know how to paint. I just didn’t say it out loud before.”
“D*mn. That’s awesome. Those of you who said she can’t paint, are you embarrassed now? Who the hell is the lady in the red dress? Why did she pretend to be so close to the pretty girl? How could she not even know that the pretty girl could paint?”
“I think the lady in the red dress is a b*tch. She looks like a stepmother. Could she be the pretty lady’s stepmother?”
“You all have no idea. She’s the wife of Quest Group’s president. The pretty girl is the eldest daughter of the Quest family, Xyla Quest…”
“That explains why the lady in the red dress was behaving so strangely. On the one hand, she was trying to rally everyone against Xyla. On the other hand, she pretended to be close to Xyla. If you’ve already chosen to be a b*tch, you shouldn’t try to take both sides.”
May felt embarrassed by what everyone was saying. Right then, she wished she could dig a hole and hide in it.
What was going on with Xyla? How did she become a completely different person after being away for three years?
Even a simple painting of Xyla’s ended up being praised by a famous artist. On top of that, he even wanted Xyla to be his teacher.
Things shouldn’t have turned out like this!
At first, May thought she could embarrass Xyla today, but she ended up embarrassing herself instead.
While Sharon listened to what everyone around her said, she felt immensely proud. Suddenly she was in a great mood and felt even more impressed by Xyla.
Was there anything her daughter-in-law couldn’t do well?
