The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1034

President Charles always wore a gentle smile, "By a lucky chance, I also possess a piece of art by Labella, personally gifted to me."

At that revelation, everyone was left dumbfounded.

Even Mya was taken aback. Could it be that the esteemed elder that Labella gifted the painting to was President Charles?

That was turning into quite a spectacle.

"Labella and I have been acquainted for years. I can recognize her brushwork." President Charles turned his gaze to Lynn, "The original piece is with me. The one you have is definitely a counterfeit."

Lynn was utterly flabbergasted. Nothing could be more humiliating than being publicly called out by the college president.

But how could it be fake? The painting was sold to her mother by Auntie Elvira.

Auntie Elvira had charged her mother fifty thousand dollars!

Lynn's friends were equally shocked. Could it be that Director Elvira had sold a counterfeit to Lynn's mother? Asking fifty thousand dollars right off the bat? That's outrageous.

Whoever befriends someone like that was just asking for trouble.

"No, it can't be." Lynn shook her head in disbelief.

Her family owns several other paintings by Labella, two of which were sold by Auntie Elvira.

If Auntie Elvira did sell them counterfeits, how much money would her family lose?

But why? Auntie Elvira and her mother have been best friends for years. Why would she do something like that?

"I heard you bumped into Bella and refused to apologize?"

President Charles's words left Lynn in a difficult position, "That's not how it happened."

"Don't even try to say Bella bumped into you first. There are cameras everywhere. Would you dare to lie in front of your president?"

Mya's words further deepened Lynn's humiliation.

"If you bump into someone, you should apologize. Is that not what Summerfield College teaching you?" President Charles's tone held a hint of pressure.
