Chapter 21
Cherished By Seven Sisters
Chapter 21 Fake Lorenzo was not one who would get angry easily, but he was truly enraged that night. Earlier, Ms.
Lynch delivered a nonsensical critique of Mr. Emerentiusâ work. Now, Mr. Lund is saying that Harrisonâs painting is fake. Theyâre clearly looking for trouble! As patient as I am, I canât tolerate the two of them anymore. I want them gone now!
Emrys sneered, âYou can argue with me all you want, but it doesnât change the fact that itâs a fake. If none of you can tell, it means all of you are terrible.â
âHow dare you insult us, brat! Who do you think you are?â
âDonât be so full of yourself, you b*stard!â
âYoungsters these days really lack education.â
âEnough!â exclaimed Lorenzo abruptly as he pointed at Emrys and Yelena. âBoth of you, get out!â
âFine by me. Iâd rather not spend my time with a bunch of idiots. Letâs go, Lena.â Emrys grabbed Yelenaâs hand and was ready to leave.
Right then, Harrison shouted, âStop right there!â
Emrys turned around and stared at Harrison coldly. âWhatâs the matter, son?â
Harrison gritted his teeth and barked, âIf you donât apologize for slandering my artwork, Iâll tear your mouth apart!â
âYou want an apology?â Without warning, Emrys approached Marcoâs painting with a smirk and poured hot coffee over it.
âWhat are you doing?â Rowan roared and dashed toward Emrys, intending to start a fight. However, a few seconds later, he was stunned.
That was because Emrys had revealed a hidden layer under the artwork after rubbing his finger on the soaked paper.
Upon seeing that, the crowd was surprised and immediately understood what was going on.
Emrys mocked, âThe lower layer is the fake painting, while the upper layer makes it look old. If none of you noticed such an obvious thing, can you say youâre not terrible?â
The crowdâs expression froze.
Although they were angry, they couldnât offer any retort because he was right.
Yelena was similarly surprised. I thought Emrys was intentionally messing with them by calling it a fake.
It turns out he was right! It feels so good to see them getting dunked on.
Chapter 21 Fake Q +10 pearls Harrison snatched the artwork away and said in grief, âMy three million!â
His heart was bleeding because he didnât expect the threeâmillion painting he wanted to show off to everyone during the event to be a fake.
However, that wasnât the worst part.
After the artwork was soaked in coffee, a small sentence appeared on its edge. It read: Whoever buys this is an idiot!Thud!
Harrison was so overwhelmed by sorrow and anger that he collapsed and convulsed.
Rowan shouted in panic, âDad! Whatâs wrong with you, Dad? Dr. Hubbard, please take a look at my dad!â
A middleâaged man in a pair of round glasses approached him.
He was Patrick Hubbard, an art enthusiast and the head of the acupuncture départment at Jadeborough Hospital.
Upon observing Harrisonâs condition, Patrick frowned. âYour father was so agitated that heâs experiencing a stroke. Heâs in critical condition right now.â
âWâWhat do we do? There arenât any hospitals nearby!â Rowan panicked.
After a brief contemplation, Patrick said, âMy teacher taught me an acupuncture technique that may be able to help him, but Iâm not certain if itâll work.â
âPlease try it regardless, Dr. Hubbard. My dadâs life is in your hands.â
âIâll do my best!â Patrick nodded before removing a few tenâcentimeterâlong needles from his portable needle pack.
Emrys was slightly shocked as he watched Patrick insert the needles into Harrisonâs b*dy.
However, he soon shook his head. âThatâs not how you use the Needle of Ninth Revival.â
