Chapter 49
Fernanda spoke innocently. It seemed like she was speaking up for Bonnie, but
she just wanted to make Bonnie look bad. The others wanted to see how Bonnie
was going to embarrass herself too, so they all chimed in.
“That’s right! She’s your granddaughter. It doesn’t matter if she did a good job or
not. You have to look at it. Otherwise, Ms. Bonnie will feel bad.
Vera gave Bonnie a look, hinting at her to tuck the painting away so she wouldn’t
embarrass all of them. But Bonnie didn’t notice her mother at all. She said lightly,
“Maybe I should open up the painting for you, Grandpa.”
Gresham and Vera regretted not preparing a gift for Bonnie to give her
grandparents.
They were in for it now. Everyone was going to mock Gresham and his family for
being tacky after what happened today! They should never have let Bonnie
attend the birthday party. T
Ysabel was faster. She was worried Bonnie would realize what was going on, so
she quickly unrolled the painting.
Everyone was stunned and drew a sharp breath when they saw the painting!
“I-Is this a painting by Master Orson?”
“Do you mean Orson Steele, whose paintings can sell for tens of millions of
dollars?”
“Seriously? Are my eyes fooling me? Master Orson stopped painting for the
public a long time ago! He only paints for the people close to him!”
Gresham’s eyes widened in surprise. “How is this possible?”
Vera looked at the painting and rubbed her eyes over and over again.
“This is his personal seal!” Ysabel’s hands trembled uncontrollably.. His paintings
used to go for fifty million dollars! If she had spoiled the painting, she wouldn’t
have been able to pay for it.
Trina grew angry when she saw how everyone had been shocked by Bonnie’s
gift.
It was impossible. How could a nobody like her have a painting from Master
Orson? It must be at
counterfeit.
Before everyone could recover from the shock, Trina said in a worried tone, “How
could you make a counterfeit painting and give it to Grandpa and Grandma to
make yourself look good?
“I know you want to make them happy, but this is a dishonest way to do that. It
puts me, Mom, and Dad to shame. More importantly, Master Orson will be mad if
he heard about this. You’ll drag the entire family down with you!”
Then, it hit everyone. That was right! Bonnie was a girl from the suburbs. There
was no way she’d know Orson. She wouldn’t have the money to pay for it or the
connections to get in touch with him.
Chapter 49
This must be a counterfeit painting!
All the Shepards regarded Bonnie with furious, hateful stares.

“How could you do this, Bonnie? You’ll drag the entire family into trouble because
of your pride.”
“That’s right. We’re one of the wealthy families of Pyralis, but there’s no way
we’re in the same league as the Steeles. They could crush us easily! How dare
you make a counterfeit! This is insolence!”
Grant, the second son of the Shepard family, looked at Gresham and said, “I told
you. You shouldn’t have taken her back in. She’s spent a long time in the
suburbs, so her character is questionable at best.
“But you two didn’t listen to me. Look at where we are now. She’s made a huge
mess, and she’s about to drag the whole family down with her! You should just
kick her out of the family and be done with it!”
Gresham and Vera were infuriated. They glared at Bonnie and had a strong urge
to slap her. When Hadwin saw what happened, he felt relieved that he had called
off the wedding with Bonnie. If she had really ended up being his fiancé and
offended Master Orson, the Rhodes family would be caught
in the crossfire too!
The guests muttered among themselves.
“This is such bad luck. I can’t believe we have a walking disaster in the family.”

“That’s where you’re wrong. I would have choked her to death the moment she
was born. What a jinx!”
