Chapter 1017


    “To be honest, this is a great painting. There’s a high possibility that it’ll win. It seems like Lina has no


    chance with the prize.”


    Keira gently pulled Lina’s hand, offering her support.


    Lina smiled at her, shaking her head to indicate that she was fine.


    She truly was fine. In fact, she was eager for Violet to showcase the painting to the world.


    “What’s the matter? Are you speechless now?” Violet taunted. “Ha, Lina, I copied your work. How do


    you like that? Do you dare to confront me or expose me?”


    Lina simply looked at her calmly, choosing not to respond.


    Violet nced at her phone, a bright smile on her face.


    “My painting has been submitted to the judges… all thanks to you, Lina! If I win, I’ll treat you to


    something nice. How about dog food?” Violet mocked.


    “Thank you for your offer, but I don’t need your charity,” Lina replied in a t tone. “You can keep the


    dog food for yourself. After all, you seem to have a big appetite. If you don’t have enough to eat, how


    will you find the energy to copy someone else’s work next time?”


    “You…” Violet trailed off, unable to find aeback.


    The surrounding students lost interest and dispersed, casting sympathetic nces at Lina.


    Lina endured it for a few days.


    She remained remarkably calm during that time, observing Violet’s painting go through the review


    process—first to the judges, then to the organizingmittee, the professionalmittee abroad, and


    finally to the final review.


    Meanwhile, the Grists were actively promoting Violet, generating a significant amount of online buzz in


    an attempt to present her as a talented artist.


    Violet’s pictures with The Fireflies’ Light had been circting on the Inte in the past few days,


    apanied by captions like “the talented princess” and “the adorable princess.”Books Chapters Are

    Violet was basking in the attention.


    However, a weekter…


    Lina had just woken up in the morning and was about to take a walk in the courtyard when she noticed


    Zuko, who had just returned from his morning run, waving his phone in front of her.


    Curious, she took a closer look and saw that news of Violet’s giarism was spreading everywhere!


    Lina couldn’t help but smile. “It’s exposed so quickly!”


    Zuko showed her thement that had received the most likes.


    [This painting was created by the renowned artist X Irwin from Southeast Aciatic, but Ms. Violet


    insists it’s hers! Ha, that’s tant giarism! I did some research and discovered that the painting was


    sold at an auction for $30,000,000! Check out this website if you don’t believe me…]


    There was a link attached to thement.


    Lina clicked on the link, leading her to a niche yet professional website that required membership to


    ess.


    The membership fee was quite high, indicating that it was mainly for professionals in the art scene.


    Surprisingly, Zuko entered his password effortlessly, causing Lina’s eyes to widen.


    “Look, this is it,” he said, pointing to The Fireflies’ Light disyed on the website.


    At that moment, Lina ignored her curiosity about Zuko’s membership and leaned closer to examine the


    painting.


    That’s when she discovered that X Irwin was the owner of Irwin Pharmaceuticals in Southeast


    Aciatic!


    Lina felt a cold sweat trickling down her back as she stared nkly at the phone’s screen…


    “I… I was so ignorant to have copied a painting worth $30,000,000,” she murmured, turning to face


    Zuko with an unnatural smile.


    To him, she appeared adorable in her state of shock.
