Chapter 64 The Vulgar Ugly Girl
Hearing Chloe's question, Tony jumped right in, "Chloe, this painting is legit. It's by a contemporary artist. My
dad knows the guy, and he lent us a few of his pieces to show off at hfor a bit. But we gotta return them in
perfect shape." The painting showed a huge prairie, with green grass stretching out forever. There was a little
girl riding a chestnut horse, racing across the field. The setting sun cast a warm glow over the scene, making it
feel peaceful and joyful. Chloe, who grew up in the northwest, was no stranger to this kind of landscape. She
loved riding horses and running free on the prairie, but now she was stuck in this concrete jungle of a city.
"This painting is so well done, it makeshomesick," Chloe admitted, feeling silly for missing hafter just
two months at the Martin Mansion.
She reached out to touch the painting, but a sharp female voice suddenly cut in, startling her. "Ugly girl, don't
touch it. If you damage the painting, can you afford to pay for it?"
Chloe looked up and saw Sophia standing a few dozen feet away, her face full of anger and her eyes cold.
"Why is she here? Did your family invite her?" Chloe asked Tony, surprised to see Sophia.
Tony, knowing Chloe and Sophia didn't get along, shook his head. "No, we didn't invite anyone from the Brown
family this time."
He remembered Sophia working at the Martin group now and quickly added, "We didn't invite anyone from the
Martin group either. | have no idea why this nasty woman is here. Chloe, if you don't want to see her, I'll chase
her off right now." Chloe couldn't help but smirk. "I run into her everywhere, it's really bad luck."
Just then, Sophia strutted over, her tall figure making Chloe look small in comparison. Without a word, she used
her hip to shove Chloe away from the painting.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you pushing her?" Zara, seeing her friend get pushed, immediately stood up
for Chloe.

Such a good painting, do you think you have the right to critique it? Do you deserve it?"
Her words stung.
Tony had enough. "This is our family's art exhibition. Do you think you have the right to decide who deserves to
be here?"
But Sophia wasn't fazed at all. She looked at Tony and said calmly, "This painting is my uncle's. He senthere
to make sure his work doesn't get ruined by ordinary people. So what if it's your family's exhibition? If | take
these paintings away now, your family won't have anything to show."
Tony was taken aback. He hadn't realized the paintings his dad, Brian, borrowed were from Sophia's uncle. This
put them in a tricky spot.
"Even if it's your uncle's painting, you can't be so unreasonable. Chloe was just looking at it. Why did you push
her away?" Zara, always ready to defend Chloe, jumped in without hesitation.
They had been friends forever, and Zara always had Chloe's back, even getting into fights to protect her.
"She doesn't understand art, so what's the point of her looking at it?" Sophia sneered, clearly looking down on
Chloe. To her, Chloe was just a rich girl with no real appreciation for culture or art.
Chloe wasn't one to back down. She smiled and said, "Just because | don't understand art doesn't mean | can't
look at it. There are plenty of guests here who don't get it. What, are you going to put the painting in a box and
take it away?" "I just don't want you to look at it. You have no taste and pretend to understand," Sophia shot
back, her disdain for Chloe obvious.
"Yeah, | might not have taste, but | have money," Chloe said, flaunting her advantage.
Zara quickly chimed in, "Exactly, Chloe has plenty of money. So what if she has no taste? She could buy this
painting and use it as toilet paper if she wanted."
Sophia, who had clashed with Chloe many times and always lost, was furious. With Zara backing Chloe up, she
had no chance.

Chloe crossed her arms and nodded. "Yep, as toilet paper. Because | have money."
"You..." Sophia pointed angrily at Chloe.
Chloe slapped her hand away. "Didn't your mom teach you it's rude to point at people?"
