Chapter 437
‘What’s she trying to pull? Is this her way of cutting ties with me? Well, dream on, Corinne Carew!!
Jeremy finally opened his mouth and said fiercely, “Continue to look for her! Go to the ends of the earth to find her if you have to!
You don’t stop looking until you find her!”
Tommy tried to ignore the chill running up his spine as he said, “Yes, sir!”
A month later.
The city of Thalassa was one of the stops in Michel’s the renowned painter Art Exhibition.

World Tour
The lady greeter at the entrance of the gallery was dressed in her elegant work clothes with a light orange silk scarf around her
neck. Her makeup was exquisitely done which complemented the professional smile she had on her face as she welcomed the
guests into the exhibition.
The gallery was one of the most high-end galleries in the whole of Thalassa. The guests were all dressed in expensive and
classy tailored suits or couture gowns. However, the smile on the lady greeter’s face was immediately replaced by a frown when
she saw a twenty-year-old girl dressed in casual clothing appear at the entrance.
“Excuse me, miss but I’m afraid I can’t let you in,” said the lady greeter.
Corinne stopped walking and raised her eyebrow at her. “And why is that?”
“Because this exhibition is for guests only and you don’t look like it so I can’t let you in. Please leave the premises right away,”
said the lady greeter rudely.
Corinne frowned and said, “If I read correctly, the sign in front of the building said the exhibition is free to the public.”
“That’s right. This exhibition is free but it’s only for the customers who could afford the paintings. There’s no point letting you in
since you don’t seem like you can afford anything inside,’ said the lady greeter haughtily.
Corinne smiled. “Is that so? How do you know I can’t afford to buy the paintings?”
The lady greeter looked up and down at Corinne’s clothes with a contemptuous expression on her face. ‘Light blue shirt, baggy
jeans, a pair of white sneakers. I have to admit she’s pretty enough to carry off something so simple but it’s obvious those
clothes are under the hundred- dollar range. Besides, those clothes will look so out of place in the gallery.’
Thinking of this, the lady greeter then impatient said, “Miss, please take a good look at
Chapter 437
yourself before asking me that, and if there’s nothing else I can help you with, I strongly advise you to let me get back to my
work.”
“There is something you can help me with. I’ve come to view the exhibition.”
The lady greeter laughed as if she just heard the funniest joke in the world. “Did you not see that all the guests who were allowed
to go in were all dressed in formal clothing? I can tell from the way you’re dressed that you couldn’t even afford the cheapest
painting inside the gallery so what would be the point of letting you in?
Besides, the guests will question the reputation of the gallery if I let someone like you in. They might even think all the famous
paintings we have are counterfeits. So I would greatly appreciate it if you stop making my life difficult and leave here
immediately!”
Corinne narrowed her eyes. “Whoever said that one has to be in formal dress to be allowed into an exhibition? There’s no such
rule!”
The lady greeter finally lost her composure. “Our gallery says so! Now are you going to leave or do I need to ask security to
escort you out?”
Corinne nodded indifferently. “Go ahead! Call security! In fact, why not call the manager too!”
The lady greeter rolled her eyes at Corinne. “Huh! Our manager is waiting for our VIP guests to come so he doesn’t have the
time for someone like you!”
At that moment, who should appear at the entrance but the manager himself?
