Chapter 67 She’s Not Up to His Standards? “Miss, what are you doing? You can’t touch the piece unless you’re buying it!” the security guard in charge of the area yelled out. “Put that painting down, or you’ll be treated as a thief!” Calista was startled by the cry that echoed throughout the floor. It was only then that she realized she had taken the painting off its hook at some point. She grew aware of how tense she was. She hurriedly suppressed her complex emotions and said hoarsely, “I apologize. I got a little too excited…. I would like to buy this painting. Can you please help contact the seller?” The skeptical security guard called for the person in charge. They promptly arrived after learning that she wanted to buy the painting. They contacted the person who provided the painting. Knowing that the person who offered up the painting was at the exhibition, the person in charge said, “There’s a buyer here who would like to buy the painting you put up for sale, Ms. Everhart. Would you like to come to discuss the price in person?” Calista frowned. She had a suspicion forming in her head. Everhart wasn’t a particularly rare surname. Someone with that name who had this painting in their possession. It had to be Nikolette. She gently ran her fingers against the rabbit lamp the girl was carrying in the painting. This was Calista’s mother’s painting. The girl depicted in it was her. She was only eight years old when her mother passed away. Due to her age, she was in no place to care for her mother’s belongings. Later, Zachary Everhart, her father, brought both Nikolette and his wife abroad. She rushed home when she received the news. But by then, the Everhart residence had changed hands. Everything that was inside was gone. She called Zachary to ask about her mother’s belongings. But the man responded disdainfully, “What’s the point of keeping a dead person’s things? It’s bad luck.” It didn’t take long for Calista to spot Nikolette entering the hall. The woman wore extravagant makeup. She was dressed in a white sweater with a gray A–line skirt. The length of her skirt only reached halfway down her thighs. It revealed her fair and +15 BONUS Her attire seemed calculated. She could tell at a glance that it was for ulterior motives. Nikolette walked over and greeted the person in charge. “Is she the one who wants to buy the painting?” They nodded. “Yes. Feel free to discuss amongst yourself.” Nikolette crossed her arms and raised her chin. “50 million dollars. No more, no less.” It was obvious that she was making things difficult on purpose. Fifty million dollars was enough to buy an art piece from a renowned artist. But, Calista’s mother wasn’t a professional artist and had no reputation in the art world. Given the circumstances, a painting like that was worth no more than 100 thousand dollars at most. Calista knew things wouldn’t go smoothly the moment she saw Nikolette. With her half–sister’s temperament, there was no doubt that she would take the opportunity to cause trouble. Nikolette grew even more brazen when Calista didn’t speak. “What’s wrong? Can’t cough it up? Hah, so what if you’re married to Lucian Northwood? You can’t even get him to like you. You’re just a poor piece of trash that doesn’t have five million dollars to your name!” When she learned that Calista was to be married to Lucian, she proposed to their father to take her elder sister’s place. But it was to no avail. Nikolette had held a grudge over it. It made her feel better to know everything that had been going on between Lucian and Calista when she returned from abroad. It wasn’t surprising to hear that she was leading the life of a discarded wife! Nikolette lowered her voice and continued to provoke her. “Your mother left quite a few things behind. Perhaps it was related to her profession, but they were all valuable items. Dad had them moved elsewhere before the company was declared bankrupt.” As she spoke, she lifted her hand. +15 BONUS “See this bag in my hand? I should thank her. All I had to do was sell off a piece of her belongings for it.” A smack reverberated through the air. Nikolette had barely finished speaking when she was backhanded across her face! […]
