“What… What does he mean? Did he think that my painting is fake, too? she mused.
Cassandraughed at herself in her heart and looked at him faintly with disappointment in her eyes.
Does he really love Reba that much? she wondered.
Peter also noticed Cassandra’s expression and still refused to relent. “Who invited Ms. Spencer to my
birthday? How did 1 not know I had such a guest?”
Peter was merciless. Reba’s eyes were red, and she was on the verge of tears. She felt extremely
aggrieved.
She said. “Mr. Peter Quinn. I know you cherish Cassandra and that you are not happy that Benita
exposed her lie by telling the truth. I didn’t mean to make Cassandra look bad either, but since she has
the audacity to do so, she should bear the consequences. You can’t turn a blind eye in front of
everyone just because you are partial to Cassandra.”
“Reba, don’t talk to Grandpa like that.” Ondo’s face darkened slightly. He nced at Reba
and then looked at Peter, saying, “Grandpa. Reba didn’t mean anything by it.”
Peter snorted coldly. “What? Are you teaming up with an outsider to lecture me?”
“Grandpa… Reba uttered.
“That’s enough!” Peter shouted and looked at Reba with indifference. He said, “Are you trying to
lecture me, Ms. Spencer?”
Frederick and Gabri also questioned, ‘Ms. Spencer, why did you do this?”
“Reba, apologize to Grandpa,” Ondo said.
His behavior seemed like he was using Reba, but the others present felt that he was defending
Reba.
Reba pressed her lips tightly and spoke. “Landy, I didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t want to
apologize. It was Cassandra who was in the wrong. She should be the one to apologize”
Ondo’s face drooped, and the atmosphere became tense.
The people present were all influential figures in the businessmunity. Although they respected and
feared the Quinn family, there were still some murmurs of dissatisfaction.
Someone whispered that the Quinn family was bullying Reba. Since Cassandra deceived George
with a high imitation painting, she should admit her mistake and apologize. It would not be right for
Peter to just let it pass because of favoritism.
Cassandra pursed her lips. She did not exin or defend herself. She did not want to create a mess at
Peter’s birthday banquet.
But at this moment, she could not take it any longer, especially when those people pointed fingers at
the Quinn family. To her, it was eptable if they used her, but they could not use the Quinn
family and Peter.
Cassandra looked at Reba and Benita and said with deep eyes, “So, you think this painting is a
high imitation?”
“Isn’t it?” Benita asked and straightened her posture.
Cassandra did not respond and kept staring at Reba.
Reba shifted her gaze slightly, but she still maintained the demeanor of a celestial being and said,
“Cassandra, I know you

want to make Mr. Peter Quinn happy. No one will me you if you don’t have ess to the real
painting. After all, it’s the thought that counts. But you did something wrong. Shouldn’t you admit your
mistake? Just apologize to everyone. No one will me you.”
Cassandra smirked and rified. So, as long as I apologize, everything will be fine?”
“Of course, as long as you realize and rectify your mistakes, Mr. Peter Quinn will forgive you, and
everyone will not me you,” said Reberca.
“So. I’m supposed to thank you for your kindness, Ms. Spencer?” Cassandra responded.
With that, Cassandra’s face suddenly changed. Then, she took out her phone and opened a video. She
said to Peter, “Grandpa Peter, I have an old friend who wants to wish you a happy birthday. Would you
like to have a look at the video he recorded?
Peter said, “Sure, Cassie’s friend is my friend.”
Peter smiled and nodded, as if he did not care whether the painting was genuine or not.
However, Austin and Evelyn were not very happy about this. Evelyn uttered, “Cassandra, what else are
you trying to do? Apologize to Grandpa Peter and everyone right now. Do you have to disgrace the
Jackson family like this?”
Cassandra answered. “I haven’t said anything yet. Why are you so anxious? I know how Cassie is
better than you.”
Peter stared at Evelyn with a stern face and then nced at the crowd. His sharp gaze made people
dare not to look at him. directly.
Cassandra felt that her heart was enveloped by warmth and lightened into a faint smile.
Although Ondo did not believe her, the Quinn family made her feel the protection and support of a
family.
Cassandra pursed her lips and took Peter’s arm, saying, “Grandpa Peter, calm down. Here, have a
seat.”
She then mirrored the video on the screen and yed it.
A voice could be heard in the video “Hello, Mr. Peter Quinn. I’m Scott Prior. Happy birthday to you.
Cassie took thisndscape painting from me. She said she wanted to give it to her most respected
grandpa. I had the pleasure of meeting. you many years ago, and I know that you are my most loyal
fan. The painting is mine. If Cassie hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have been willing to give it away. I wish you
a happy birthday, and I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and exchange notes over the
calligraphy that Cassie takes pride in with you”
The video ended..
Most of the people present knew who the person in the video was
Someone even eximed, “It’s really Mr. Prior, The painting can be forged, but the videos and people
can’t. Why would anyone want to misjudge Ms. Jackson?”
The wind did not always blow in one direction, and people would change their tune based on the
situation. As a result, the person who fueled the me hadpletely changed sides.
Austin and Evelyn were resented. “Cassandra, since you knew Mr. Prior, you should have made it clear
earlier so as not to make everyone misjudge you and put Grandpa Peter out of sorts.”
“Who said I am out of sorts? I’m feeling good.” Peter responded with dissatisfaction, then looked at
Cassandra and said lovingly, “Cassie is helping me make track for a star. Why didn’t you tell me that
you know Mr. Prior? I must invite him toe over to my house if I have a chance.”
Chapter 75
“All right. I’ll tell him toe over and paint with you when I have the time. I don’t think he can paint
better than you, said
Cassandra.
Peterughed. He was ted.
At this time, someone questioned, “Ms. Spencer just said that her painting was genuine. Now that Ms.
Jackson’s has been proven to be genuine, what about Ms. Spencer’s?”
Benita’s face stiffened slightly, and so was Reba’s.
Peter said, “Ms. Spencer, you and your friend have wronged Cassic. Shouldn’t you apologize for that? I
don’t care whether your painting is real or not, so does the Quinn family.”
He was implying that he disliked Reba’s painting. Therefore, it did not matter to him whether the
painting was authentic
or not.
Benita’s parents came forward to apologize and criticize Benita, then hurriedly pulled her away.
Reba stood there alone and looked at Ondo helplessly. She said, “Landy, it wasn’t on purpose. I
didn’t know what was going on. I have been tricked. I bid the painting through multiple channels. I must
be deceived by those people…”
Reba started crying as she spoke.
Ondo appeared indifferent, and his face turned extremely ugly.
Before he could say anything, Cassandra said, “So you think you don’t need to apologize just because
you were tricked, Ms. Spencer?”
“Cassandra… I really was tricked. Why do you have to be so aggressive and embarrass me?” said
Reba.
“Are you ming me, Ms. Spencer?” Cassandra sneered.
“Landy, help me exin it to Mr. Peter Quinn and Cassandra. I really didn’t know what happened.”
Reba reached out to pull at Ondo’s clothes and said in a low voice, “Landy, my head is starting to
ache again… I feel breathless and ufortable.”
Ondo frowned and said lowly, “Grandpa, Reba didn’t mean it. I apologize to you on her behalf.
Please don’t be mad, okay!”
“Ondo, Ms. Spencer herself said that we should apologize for our own mistake. Do you think she can
make an exception?” Cassandra asked, her eyes staring straight at Ondo.
