The entire hall was silent. Many of the attendees were still in shock as they looked at Dustin. Who exactly was Dustin? Clara’s expression shifted from rage to uncertainty. Then, she smiled. She said to the crowd warmly, “Everyone, the charity auction is about to begin! Please take your seats.” The art exhibition had a very important auction session. It was the charity auction that Clara had mentioned. Clara organized the event and called for other famous artists to contribute their works to the event. This attracted a lot of attention from the media. Everyone praised Clara online for being beautiful inside and out. It had added to her acclaim. However, Dustin knew very well just how kind Clara really was. She did not actually care about people who were in difficult situations. All she cared about was her reputation. “A month ago, there was an earthquake in East Lovellia. Countless people were displaced. I feel like crying every time I read the news about it…” Clar
Was this why Clara had given Dustin VIP diamond tickets? Clara smiled playfully. When Dustin had been kicked out of the family, he had been penniless. He was unable to bring any of the Wyatt family’s valuables with him. Clara was sure that Dustin did not have much money with him. She wanted to humiliate Dustin in public. “VIP diamond tickets? That’s a higher tier than mine!” Michael looked upset. The other attendees were also disheartened. They were people from high society. However, they were unable to get VIP diamond tickets to this event. Who exactly was Dustin? Why did he have better tickets than everyone else? “If you bid on something at least, that would be such an embarrassment.” Everyone watched to see how Dustin would react. Dustin chuckled as Clara looked at him mockingly. “I bid twenty thousand dollars,” he said. Whispers came from the crowd. How could someone with such exclusive tickets bid so low? “Haha, I’ll bid ten million dollars!” Michael s
The exhibition hall fell silent. Clara’s face darkened. She looked very displeased. That was one of her proudest works. There were at least ten famous artists’ stamps on the calligraphy, and they were very influential people. Who could tolerate having their painstakingly crafted artwork destroyed? “Dustin Fox! What do you think you are doing?” Clara asked angrily. People stared at Dustin in shock. They could not understand why he had done it. He had spent sixty million dollars to buy Clara’s artwork and destroyed it in public. What had he done that for? Was it to insult Clara? But to spend so much money on it! How extravagant! They could already tell that this was going to make the headline of the news tomorrow. “B*stard! How dare he treat Miss Clara’s art like that?!” Clara’s fans were in the exhibition hall, and they glared at Dustin. “I spent my money to buy this. What I do with it is my business. What’s that got to do with you?” Dustin said coldly. It made t
No other emerging artist in the country had ever gotten this kind of recognition. It was because she was taught by mentors who were experts in their craft. A few of them held prestigious titles as very distinguished people. They were people of great honor in Lovellia. “Dustin, what else do you have to say?” Clara asked. Dustin chuckled. “Do you think your artworks are really that outstanding? Do you think those artists accepted you as their student because they thought you’re talented?” He looked at her playfully. “Of course! Is there any other reason?” Clara snorted. Dustin raised a finger. “One day later, all your artworks will lose their value and fall from their height.”Clara narrowed her eyes. “Dustin Fox, you’ve really pissed me off now! You brought this on yourself!” she said darkly. After Clara said that, she launched a group video call using a chat app. She projected everything onto the big screen.The crowd was shocked by what they saw.She really wa
The hall fell silent, and everyone stared at the three distinguished people on the big screen. They could decide a Lovellia citizen’s fate. Since Clara was a beloved student of these masters, they would most probably agree with her request. The reckless and arrogant man was in for a miserable end. He would end up without a country. Michael sneered. He looked gleeful and took delight in Dustin’s misfortune. Clara’s fans were the same. “You deserve it!“How dare you look down on our goddess!“You’ll spend the rest of your life in regret!” Clara stared coldly at Dustin. Dustin was a threat to the Wyatt family. She must not let him stay in Rivenesco. She had thought a lot about it and chosen this method. It would be better to get him out of Lovellia and make it so that he could never set foot in it again. She believed her masters who pampered her would indulge her little willful request. Clara looked at the people on the screen with hope.“Please take a stand for
Delia was just expelled by the Medical Sage from his tutelage, but she was different. Being treated this way by more than one master was record-breaking. “Sirs… Sirs, what is this for? Why are you all expelling me from your tutelage?” Clara asked tearfully in a choked voice.This was all wrong! She was only asking for their support in punishing Dustin. But how did she end up being the one in trouble? If not for how real it all felt, she would have thought she was dreaming. “You’re cruel, ruthless, and scheming. How could someone like that achieve greatness in the field of art?” Mason said coldly. It was a tone of voice Clara had never heard from him before. It had a cutting and cold edge to it that chilled her to the bone. She could not understand it. In the past, these three masters had been very warm and friendly to her. They had accepted her with open arms. At this moment, they looked completely unfamiliar. This difference in their demeanor was very jarring for he
“Dustin, what did you do?” Clara gritted her teeth, and her voice was filled with bitterness. She loved art and enjoyed the feeling of floating in the spotlight that came with various titles and the adoration surrounding her. As the darling of the art world, her journey had been smooth since her debut. The top masters sought her out to mentor her, which shocked everyone in the world. She always believed she was a prodigy who was blessed with innate artistic talent. But everything was ruined today. All the associations had expelled her. All her masters had turned their backs on her. This meant that her path in the art world was completely blocked. After what the masters had said, no one would accept her work anymore. They said her works were mediocre. That was the final judgment! It seemed nearly impossible for her to break free from that. It was just like a curse. Clara blamed Dustin for all her resentment. “You brought this on yourself,” Dustin said indiffere
[Clara has provoked someone terrifying!] That was another text his father had sent him. A storm of thoughts swirled in Michael’s mind. He could not imagine what kind of people could have such power. He frowned and glanced at Dustin before he scoffed. Him? Dustin was nobody. He was not even worth mentioning! There was no way that it could be him! While the wealthy heirs anxiously fidgeted, Clara stood on the stage and felt deeply disappointed. She did not understand why no one was bidding for her work… It would be good enough even if just one person could stand up and break the awkward silence. “This is Miss Clara’s finest work. It’s highly valuable for collection. Is there nobody who feels tempted to bid on it?” asked the host on the stage, but no one spoke up. The whole atmosphere became even more awkward. Clara made up her mind. She whispered something to the host. “The person who purchases Miss Clara’s paintings today at a high price will have the oppor
