Chapter 181

Liana shouted, "Why didn't she continue bidding if she wanted the painting? She never planned to buy it in the first place the only Wanted to trick mel

The onlookers shifted their opinions about the situation.

"Could Ms. White have done that to Ms. Gardner because she was upset with the divort

"That's unnecessarily petty, What's the meaning of pulling that after a divorce?

"It is not meaningless. She must have been indignant after losing her marriage with the distinguished Mr. Beckett

"She looks proper on the outside but mean on the inside. Women like her only use their brains on petty todet

Liana felt great hearing the barrage of criticisms on Alice.

"Ms. White, did you really do that? Javier knitted his brows and looked sternly at Alyssa. Similarly, Newton was waiting for her answer.

"Ms. Gardner, it was a misunderstanding." Alyssa took a step forward. Her face scrunched up into a pitiful expression. "I was the one who first bid for the painting. You followed suit.

Gritting her teeth, Liana left the scene, looking dejected.

After some thinking, Newton grasped Alyssa's hand and said, "You should have told me that you liked the painting. I would have given you anything you wanted, even if it were a Georgian-era antique!

"I'd even get you the Mona Lisa if you wanted that! I am generous when it comes to things that you set your eyes on."
