Serena, sitting to one side, pleaded, "Please stop praising her! If Mirabelle realizes everyone is complimenting her, she'll be over the moon!"
At this moment, Arabella pulled out her phone, preparing to take care of some personal affairs.
Unexpectedly, Nancy, feeling superior, suddenly hushed everyone around her, then lifted her eyes arrogantly towards Arabella.
“With your perfect academic record and broad knowledge, surely you have some unique insights. Why not give your opinion on this art piece and tell us what's so special about it?”
If someone with a perfect academic record came from a privileged family, then not being able to recognize the artist or style of this art piece or not knowing what made it special just showed a lack of exposure and knowledge.
If she came from humble beginnings, no matter how great her academic achievements were, she still cannot compare to them, the privileged daughters of wealthy families.
So, regardless of how Arabella responded to this question, she will either be mocked for her lack of knowledge or her humble background.
Arabella lifted her gaze to find a group of people ready to laugh at her.
She then looked at Nancy’s phone, which displayed a landscape painting, presumably the one they said was purchased for three million dollars.
Her eyes went cold, "To me, it's no better than a child’s scribbles."
Everyone was stunned by her words, and even Nancy was taken aback for a few seconds.
This naive girl dared to comment that the masterpiece of the revered Mirabelle was no better than a child's scribbles!!
It seemed not only did she come from a humble background, but she also lacked any sense of art appreciation!!
“Seems like the top scholar only knows how to study, unable to appreciate the value of this painting.” Nancy recovered, raising her superior smile, chuckling, “This is a new piece by the renowned artist Mirabelle.”
“Indeed! It was just auctioned off two days ago at an auction by the Austin family for three million dollars.”
