Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee Chapter 36

Chapter 36 She Can’t Embarrass Her

No!

She could not allow such a thing to happen!

Laila calmed herself down, smiled, and went forward to hold Gavyn’s arm. “There, there. We are here

to watch the exhibition. Do not let others affect your mood!”

For some reason, when looking at the hand on his arm, Gavyn kept thinking about the scene of Aylin

holding Ryker.

His face darkened and his mood was even worse…

Gavyn avoided Laila and said flatly, “Carmen hasn’t come back for a long time. You should stay with

her.”

Seeing that she was pushed away, Laila put on a long face, but in the end, she did not say anything

and went up.

However, she held Haleigh’s arms and said, “Mrs. Delacruz, I have also studied painting abroad for the

past few years. Let me appreciate the paintings with you today!”

Haleigh held Laila’s hand, feeling gratified.

“You are so sweet. You can dance and draw, and you are nothing more than a noble lady.”

Laila pretended to be shy as she put her hair behind her ear.

“Mrs. Delacruz, you flattered me.”

She pointed at a painting and proudly introduced it, “I know this painting. The author of this painting is

Leonel Hensley. Every piece of his work is worth a lot. Last year, one of his paintings was sold for 1.5

million dollars. And this painting is Leonel’s new work. The scenery is rough when looked at from afar

but is delicate when one takes a close look. The contrast of the colors is sharp. The animals and plants

in the painting are both decadent and vivid. Leonel is calling for the protection of nature.”

Carmen looked at Laila with a face of worship. She did not understand what this painting meant. She

only knew that it was good.

Sure enough, Laila was far better than that bumpkin!

This was the woman who was worthy of marrying her brother!

When the onlookers in front of the painting heard this, they also cast admiring looks at Laila.

“I didn’t expect this young lady to have such a deep understanding of paintings at such a young age.

Not only is she beautiful, but she is knowledgeable!”

“I thought it was just an ordinary landscape painting. I didn’t expect it to have such a deep meaning.”

“As expected of the future daughter-in-law of the Delacruz family. She and Mr. Delacruz are so

compatible!”

Listening to these praises, Laila smiled and glanced at Aylin.

Since Gavyn wanted to protect Aylin, then, she had to humiliate her!

“Ms. Koch, what do you think about this painting?”

Aylin was suddenly called by the name. She turned around and looked at the painting. Her lips curled

up. She already knew what Laila was planning.

Did she want to embarrass her?

She thought, I’m sorry, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you!

Aylin said indifferently as she lifted her hand to point at the painting beside Laila. “I don’t have any

opinion on the painting you commented on, but I think this painting has a deeper meaning.”

Laila did not expect that Aylin would continue the conversation, and she felt a bit unhappy.

“Ms. Koch, don’t push yourself. That painting doesn’t even have a signature on it. You should know that

a painting without a signature will be worthless. How can the painter be compared to Leonel?”

“So what if there is a signature? The painting skills and artistic conception are not determined by the

signature. Ms. Marsh, since you studied painting, you should know this rule better than me.”

Aylin chuckled, expressing her disdain.

Laila frowned slightly and looked at Gavyn.

Gavyn’s gaze was fixed on the painting that didn’t have a signature on it, and his expression showed

complicated emotions.

Laila also looked at it but found nothing special.

It was just an ordinary painting. There were mountains, rivers, people, flowers, birds, fish, and insects.

The waves surged.

It looked strange. What was so good about it?

“Since you have different opinions, why don’t you tell everyone here about that?” Laila asked, unwilling

to give up.

Laila thought that Aylin would give up when she heard her request, and she didn’t expect her to be so

confident.

“This painting was the work of an experienced painter. The strokes are decisive and the paintbrush was

well-controlled. Although it is just a simple painting of landscapes, it is not dull. If one is careful enough,

he will see all the hidden details.

“The grasshopper in the grass, the sparrow eating on the trees… The painter hid all the details in the

painting. It can be seen that this person is not only good at observation but also a person who loves

life. The painter’s yearning for this kind of life is self-evident.”

Aylin paused and pointed at a detail.

“Unlike on the shore, the storm in the middle of the river almost submerged the ship, but the expression

of the crew is determined. The shocking atmosphere was eased because of the scene on the shore.

This is the tribute of the painter to life and will!”

Laila was stunned. She never thought that a woman from a slum could analyze a landscape painting so

well.

“Are you overstating its significance? Most people can draw this kind of painting. You come from the

countryside and don’t know much about paintings. It’s normal for you to get the wrong conclusion.”

Carmen immediately nodded and said, “Yes, you are a bumpkin. What do you know? Laila learned

painting!”

“Yes, that is Leonel’s painting. Young lady, don’t push yourself!”

“Although I don’t understand what she was saying, I feel that she is amazing!”

The discussions had not stopped when a man dressed in plain clothes got into the crowd.

He stroked his beard. When he saw Gavyn, he stepped forward and smiled. “I didn’t expect Mr.

Delacruz to be here too. Just tell me if you like my painting. I’ll get someone to send it to you.”

Gavyn smiled. “Mr. Hensley, you’re as generous as ever.”

Mr. Hensley?

The onlookers couldn’t help gasping. So Leonel was in the crowd and had been watching for so long!

But Aylin that his painting was not as good as that of a nameless person.

Wouldn’t she offend him?

When Carmen heard that this man was Leonel, she pulled Leonel to the painting that had no signature

on it.

“Mr. Hensley, how can this nameless painting be compared to yours?”

“Carmen, do not be rude!”

Gavyn had just spoken to stop Carmen when he saw Leonel wave his hand. He did not mind it.

Instead, he laughed loudly and said, “That’s impressive. There are so many paintings, but this one. was

chosen to compare to mine. I admit defeat.”

The audience fell silent.
