Chapter 110


    Two dayster, Bet managed to find out some information about Carme’s painting being taken


    down from the exhibition.


    He bribed one of the staff members at the exhibition, who told him that the person in charge had invited


    Old Mr. Quintin and his two students to evaluate the paintings the afternoon before the exhibition


    opening. After they left, Carme’s painting was taken down. As for the specific reason, the staff didn’t


    know.


    Bet went home and told Simone and Carme about it.


    Simone spected, “Could it be that Old Mr. Quintin didn’t like Carme’s painting?”


    Bet said, “Old Mr. Quintin is highly respected in the industry. Although Albert is famous, he’s not


    Old Mr. Quintin’s proudest student. If Old Mr. Quintin had any objections to Carme’s painting, I’m


    afraid Mr. Mullins wouldn’t dare to go against him.”


    Carme had not dared to go to school for several days and had locked herself in her room, bing


    very haggard over these few days. She spoke with a depressed tone, “So what do we do?”


    Simone thought for a moment, “Why don’t we ask Mr. Mullins to take us to visit Old Mr. Quintin? The


    exhibition willst for a month; if Old Mr. Quintin agrees, maybe Carme’s painting still has a chance


    to be exhibited again?”


    Carme’s eyes lit up immediately, “Really?”


    Bet frowned, “Old Mr. Quintin is low–key and doesn’te out a lot; I’m afraid it won’t be that easy


    to meet him.”


    “But we have Mr. Mullins, right?” Simone, acting like grasping at life–saving straws, said urgently, “We


    said that Carme’s painting was taken for restoration. If it could be exhibited again in a few days,


    people would believe it.”


    In this way, they could save some dignity and make up for the loss.

    Carme immediately said, “I’ll call Mr. Mullins.”


    Bet spoke in a deep voice, “Let me do it. After all, Mr. Mullins shares some responsibility for this


    incident. I think he’ll help us out.”


    Simone had an idea and said, “Hold on, don’t call him yet. This afternoon I’ll meet with Albert’s partner,


    she previously told me she’s been eyeing a ruby bracelet from GK Jewelry studio. I’ll go buy it now and


    give it to her this afternoon. Then you can call Albert tonight.” Bet nodded, “That works.”


    That afternoon, Simone went to the jewelry counter and bought the expensive bracelet without even


    blinking an eye.


    She then met up with Albert’s partner and sessfully gave her the bracelet.


    That night, Bet called Albert and politely asked if he could introduce Carme to Old Mr. Quintin.


    Albert didn’t refuse nor immediately agree either. He said he would ask if Old Mr. Quintin had time


    recently.


    Bet chuckled and thanked Albert before hanging up.


    Simone and Carme eagerly awaited by his side and asked how it went.


    Bet smiled, “It seems like it should be fine. After all, Carme is Albert’s student, so Old Mr. Quintin


    is her grand mentor in a way. It’s only reasonable to visit him.”


    Simone’s relieved when she heard this, believing that as long as she could meet Old Mr. Quintin, there


    would be a chance for things to turn around.


    She even had bigger aspirations – if Carme could gain Old Mr. Quintin’s recognition and guidance,


    her future prospects would bepletely different.


    It wasn’t only about learning to paint; Old Mr. Quintin had a high status in the domestic industry, and his


    students‘ self–founded Snowy Studios had won several international awards, enjoying a good


    reputation both at home and abroad.


    J City had many wealthy families, but the world of oil painting was always maintained its prestige and


    sought after by the rich, making it the best choice to showcase one’s taste.
