    Chapter 352


    At the paintingpetition, they were also discussing the recent biology conference.


    The tough–looking woman was named Sandra Youssef. She was lucky to have been “selected” to be in


    Olivia’s group, and she was currently engaged in a hushed conversation with another member of the


    same group, Tina Willow.


    “Have you seen the news? Olivia is amazing. Sandra clicked her tongue. Although she did not like


    Olivia’s special privileges, she still respected such a scientist.


    “That’s right. Tina nodded. “They’re all praising her. She already got the Lasker Award previously, and


    she’s still so young, only 25 years old. The media said that she’d definitely get the Nobel Prize. She’s


    too awesonicl


    “She’s so smart, Sandra recalled that she was 25 years old and seemed to still be in her postgraduate


    studies. As for Olivia, she had already won an international award.


    “She’sing, she’sing.” Tina poked Sandra, gesturing for her to turn and look at the door.


    Sandra followed Tina’s gaze and saw a woman in a gray windbreaker walking over.


    Sandra had thought that Olivia was very beautiful. After all, she was not good–looking and could not


    charth the richest man in the Sullivan family.


    Even though she was mentally prepared, she still gasped when she saw Olivia.


    She thought that, Winona was beautiful enough, but Olivia was more than ten times prettier than her. It


    was as if she had been meticulously drawn by a skilled brush, radiating an indescribable noble aura.


    With Olivia’s arrival, the entire arena fell silent, and everyone looked straight at her.


    It was only when the host of thepetition pped hands that everyone came back to their senses.


    “Don’t just stare; thepetition is about to begin. Get ready.


    Olivia found her seat and sat down.


    She happened to be sitting right next to Sandra,


    Sandra immediately held her breath and felt goosebumps forming on her skin when she realized that


    Olivia was seated right beside her.


    This was the aura of a peerless beauty, with a charm that could not be ignored.


    Sandra took a few deep breaths and barely managed to calm herself down.


    Olivia was ced in the third group, which was at the back.


    Winona was in the third group as well. When Olivia passed by, she only nced at her briefly before


    retracting her gaze with aplicated expression.


    Bettany was in the fourth group, positioned behind Olivia. She looked up and stared at Olivia, gripping


    the paintbrush tightly, her eyes filled with anticipation and admiration.


    She wondered when she would be able to be as confident and calm as Olivia and not be afraid of


    everyone’s gazes, facing everyone’s doubts calmly and refuting them clearly,


    Bettany retracted her gaze and lowered her head, silently encouraging herself not to be afraid and


    anxious. Alexander had already hired an etiquette teacher for her. When she recovered from her


    miscarriage and learned the etiquette of upper–ss society, Alexander would bring her to various


    banquets and introduce her in public.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    She reassured herself that soon, very soon, she would be as confident and calm as Olivia. Moreover,


    she would be able to stand beside her and be on the same level as her.


    Thinking of Alexander, Bettany could not help but smile.


    Being with such an outstanding man. Bettany felt like she was living a dream. He held a high position


    as Mr. Alexander, the young master of the Grant family. He wielded significant influence in both the


    business world and politics. With a single word from him, die world could be turned upside down,


    leaving others pondering his every utterance and trying to discern his intentions.


    However, such an outstanding man was so gentlemanly and polite to her.


    Bililopatre’s Missing Darling


    He respected her very much and waspletely different from Marcus


    As for Marcus, who had given her a nightmare, she could not escape his clutches no matter how hard


    she med. However, Alexander did not take him seriously at all


    With a casual order, he easily dealt with Marcus


    Now, Marcus had been sent abroad by the Dillon family. On the other hand. Bettany’s father and


    stepmother had started to seek her favor. They were aware of her health condition and were even


    considering sending her stepsister to take care of her


    Thinking of her stepsister, Bettany snorted coldly. Did they really think that she was a fool and could not


    tell what they were thinking?


    Everyone changed their attitudes, treating her with respect and trying to please her.


    Only Talia had not changed. She had always hoped that Bettany would return to the Dillon family and


    reconcile with Marcus. After knowing that she had a miscarriage. Talia even scolded her for being


    insensitive and imed that the Grant family’s status was too high for a girl from a small family like her


    to climb up to.


    Bettany shouted angrily. “You re my mother Can’t you look forward to me? Am I so lowly in your eyes


    that I’m only fit for someone paralyzed, and not worthy of being with a normal person?”


    “I won’t do what you want. I want to be with Alexander I want you to see how I reach the highest


    position. step by step and let everyone look up to me and envy me


    “Bettany Talia was in despair


    How had her child be like this?


    Bettany kidn ?t listen to anything. She sent Talia away and bought a house to settle her down.


    Pulling her thoughts away from her memories. Bettany began to focus on thepetition in front of her


    The semi–finals wouldst for three hours.


    Olivia looked at her camas for a moment and then began to paint, picking up her brush.


    As time continued to tick away thepetition had passed the halfway mark, and most of the


    participants were nearing thepletion of their paintings, with just some finishing touches left.


    Sandra put down her brush and massaged her sore wrist while admiring her painting.


    “Oh, it’s really well drawn


    She couldn’t help but be narcissistic. This time, she had exceeded her expectations. She had drawn a


    mother flying a kite with her daughter to express spring. The details were very well drawn.


    Sandra was confident that she could definitely enter the finals.


    Their group had to eliminate two people, and Olivia was definitely going to be one of them. The


    remaining four only needed to eliminate one person, so she had a huge advantage and would definitely


    not be eliminated.


    At the thought of this, Sandra rxed and began to observe the paintings of others.


    She first looked at the fourpetitors who werepeting with her.


    Their paintings all showed creativity and various methods to depict spring, but they were still not as


    good as hers.


    Since she had nothing to do, she turned to Olivia to see what she had drawn.


    With a nce, Sandra almost fell off the stool


    She was so shocked.


    She couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Olivia only painted a piece of green grass.


    Although green grass represented spring, this was too ld–fashioned. There was no creativity at all.


    Sandra pouted and was about to look away.


    However, just as her line of sight deviated for a moment she actually saw the dew on the tip of the


    grass de. The entire painting suddenly came to life.


    Sandra’s heart skipped a beat. She began to carefully observe Olivia’s painting


    The more she observed, the more she realized how impressive the painting was. The technique had


    reached a peak level of mastery.


    This was incredibly amazing.


    In Sandra’s impression, only Sketcher could have such godly technique. How could Olivia know it? She


    waspletely stunned.


    She was so lost in thought that she didn’t even notice when Tina asked, “Sandra, thepetition is


    over. What are you looking at?”


    “This, this…” Sandra stuttered as she pointed at Olivia.


    They were in the same row, with Sandra positioned between Tina and Olivia. From her angle, Tina


    could not see Olivia’s painting at all.


    Seeing Sandra like this, Tina thought that Olivia’s painting was very bad, and Sandra was so happy


    that she was dumbfounded.


    “Calm down.” Tina tugged at Sandra. Although Olivia would definitely be eliminated, it was not good to


    gloat before the results were out.


    Someone woulde and collect the canvases, so Tina dragged Sandra away.


    She only spoke when they were outside the door. “What happened to you just now?”


    Sandra/ignored Tina and wanted to look for Olivia, but Olivia had already left the examination hall with


    Elena/


    Sandra stomped her feet anxiously as she watched Olivia leave.


    Secing this, Tina was even more confused, and the others were equally curious. They all looked at her


    and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”


    Sandra was in a daze. “Olivia, Olivia, her painting is very good, and her technique is outstanding. She’s


    very talented.”


    Tina pursed her lips. “So what if she’s talented? Can she be more powerful than a Sketcher?”


    “Yes.” Winona came out of the examination hall and looked in the direction where Olivia left. She said


    calmly, “It’s because she is a Sketcher.”


    This sentence was like a thunderp that struck everyone, leaving everyone stunned.
