Chapter 928
Tracy's complexion instantly turned pale.
"Miss Winx, it seems that I've had too high hopes for you. You are far worse than Ezekiel when it
comes to educating your daughter.” Sylvie sighed regretfully, her disappointment undisguised.
Ezekiel also came to attend Sylvie's birthday party that day. He was now the son-in-law of Sylvie.
Everyone was treating him nicely, buttering him up. Even the file of the suspected murder case four
years ago that he was suspected of was disposed of by Cedrick outside the law...
Although it was just a few words of regret, it made Tracy feel more uncomfortable than giving her a
few slaps, and she stammered to explain," Grandma, this is... I was careless... I didn't expect it to be a
fake painting...’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEzekiel, who was called out by Granny Atherton, walked out of the crowd and suggested, "Didn't Tracy
have the receipt with her? She can contact a lawyer to hold the auction house accountable and
recover some of the losses."
Tracy's face paled even more.
"Tracy, don't be afraid. Get the receipt, and we'll make the auction house compensate for the loss!” Sammy voiced
out angrily and gritted.
In Tracy's mind, she had a feeling that if the painting was a forgery, the receipt was most probably fake. She was so
anxious to return to Sapphire City at that time that she simply found an 'expert' for appraisal.
"Tracy, where is the receipt? Take it out quickly." Seeing that Tracy was silent, Sammy became even more anxious.
Her heart was pumping fast, causing her face to turn red. Yet, she did not stop asking for the receipt.
Tracy was repeatedly questioned by her mother, and she was speechless for a while. Of course, she could not tell
her mother that she had met a professional con artist. Hence, they had no way to hold the seller accountable.
In her anxiety, she suddenly had an idea. She pressed her chest with one hand, her eyelids drooped, and she
suddenly fell into Sammy's arms, fainting...
"Tracy? Tracy?!" Sammy was terrified, hugging Tracy and exclaiming in shock.
Sylvie's little goodwill toward Tracy and Sammy immediately dissipated. They made her birthday banquet end in
such a mess.
She immediately signaled Kelly with a look.
Kelly then had several bodyguards carry Tracy to the second floor to rest.
As soon as Tracy and Sammy were gone, negative comments started to spread out among the crowd.
'I thought Tracy was a nice girl, but I didn't expect her to buy a forgery to fool Old Madam Atherton!”
"And her mother kept hinting to US that Miss Atherton has been using her power to oppress them both.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGosh, we were fooled by her! Miss Atherton didn't seem to have poured red wine on the oil painting on
purpose just now..."
"Yeah, I remember seeing a lady accidentally hit Miss Atherton's arm..."
"Tsk, what a disaster!"
The bodyguards carried Tracy to the corner of the stairs on the second floor, and she could hearthose
sarcastic comments. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and she desperately suppressed the surging
anger in her heart.
Downstairs, Sylvie smiled and pretended that nothing had happened and continued to introduce
Catelyn to everyone.
The guests all praised Sylvie for having a good granddaughter.
Everyone at the birthday banquet finally got to know Catelyn as compared to the previous family
reunion banquet. They finally understood why Sylvie was so partial to Catelyn because she was worth
it.
At the same time, everyone was also very curious about the gift Catelyn had prepared for Granny
Atherton.
