“Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, X Quest briefly calcted the time and found out that the journey from
her location would take at least an hour.
Without further ado, she floored the gas pedal.

Her red Maserati then sped down the streets, all the way to the destination.
X finally arrived at the art gallery at the appointed time.
Effortlessly, she caught sight of Sharon Lindt from afar. Her mother-inw was standing at the main
entrance with arge group of bodyguards, patiently waiting for her.
Sharon was dressed in a mint knitted cardigan with a white chiffon dress inside, matching them a
pair of pastel ts. Shepleted her look with light makeup and a low ponytail, looking very much
like a young little girl.
The entrance of the art gallery was extremely crowded.
However, no one was as eye-catching as Sharon.
As X stared at that elegantdy in the sea of heads, she could not help wondering how alluring
she would have been when she was young.
X quickly found a nice spot to park her car and walked up to Sharon with a bright smile.
Noticing her arrival, Sharon instantly wrapped her arms around X’s as her heart leaped up in joy.
“Let’s go, X… We shall go in now. It’s Wilmer Lacroix’s exhibition today! He’s my favorite
contemporary French painter!”
X smiled in response. “I like him too.”
“Really? We better hurry up then! Go ahead and pick the paintings you like. I’ll buy them for you.”
Hand in hand, the two of them strode into the art gallery.
Inside the hall, countless authentic French paintings were hanging on the walls.
In addition to the poprndscape paintings and bird-and-flower paintings, Wilmer Lacroix
presented many other notable paintings.
Every painting was so exquisite that all the visitors who passed by could not take their eyes off
them.
The hall was filled with visitors in no time. Everyone was admiring the paintings in silence.
Suddenly, X caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the middle of the crowd. She squinted to
focus on that figure… It was May Conner.
May was wearing a scarlet silk body-hugging dress, exuding a powerful yet graceful aura.
She was currently studying a piece ofndscape painting.
X threw her a cold nce and held Sharon’s hand right away, leading her to a pair of peony
paintings.
Colorful peonies were blooming vividly on the snow-white canvas.
“What do you think? Do you like this painting?” Sharon asked.
X nodded lightly. “Yeah. I do like it, but I think there are some ws in this painting.”
Sharon’s eyes were brimmed with doubt. “ws? I don’t see any ws here.”
She leaned over and carefully examined the painting, trying to find out what X meant.
Unfortunately, her effort was in vain.
“Based on Master Lacroix’s standard, I think he can draw a better peony painting than this. Look at
some of the petals here. He must have applied too much pressure on the brush. Though they’re not
too obvious, you can still notice them if you take a closer look. Sigh, that’s such a pity.”
Coincidentally, May was walking in their direction when X was pointing out the painting’s
imperfections to Sharon. When she overheard their conversation, she burst outughing
instantaneously and stopped beside X. “I was wondering who the hell was
criticizing Master Lacroix’s painting. Ah, it’s you, X…”
X red at May in disdain. “So what?”
“You’ve never painted a French painting before, have you? I can’t believe an amateur like you dares
to make stupidments on a master’s artwork.” May hissed.
The hall fell silent.
May’s statement had instantly drawn everyone’s attention to the two of them.
“Look, I’m professional in French painting. I don’t find any mistakes in the master’s artwork,” May
continued.
Upon hearing that, the crowd started to gather around them. Their eyes fell upon the peony painting
curiously.
