Chapter 100 - 100: Randall
Juliana looked at Zoe, "What is it?"
Zoe took out a scroll painting and spread it out on the table, "Mrs. Leach, did you paint this?"
The painting was "The Peach and the Plum', the one Juliana had temporarily painted.
Juliana nodded her head and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Zoe looked at Juliana questioningly, "Did you really paint this painting?"
Juliana, "Yes."
Zoe carefully put the painting away and then looked Juliana up and down, "Mrs. Leach, it's not that I'm questioning you, it's just that you don't have a very good reputation in F City."
Juliana raised an eyebrow slightly, "So?"
Zoe said, "I've investigated you. You don't paint at all, much less paint a painting like this."
The painting was sold at auction for $100 million.
But its true value was not $100 million.
Juliana looked at Zoe with a light smile, "I didn't think you were good enough to sit in front of me, but you're sitting in front of me anyway, aren't you?"
Zoe frowned slightly, "Mrs. Leach, I bear no ill will."
Juliana said, "Then tell me about your ill will."
Zoe was a little upset. She thought she had shown Juliana respect by talking nicely and not starting with harsh words.
She had done this for the sake of the Leach family.
She looked at Juliana with a serious face, "If you painted this picture, you might be liable; if you didn't, please tell me who really painted it."
Juliana didn't say anything but looked at Zoe for a moment.
Zoe thought Juliana didn't understand and came straight to the point, "I would like to tell you that this painting has tracks of imitation of my teacher. If it's just for a private collection, it doesn't matter."
She observed Juliana's expression and continued, "But this painting was auctioned off for $100 million, which was against the law when it had commercial value."
Juliana narrowed her eyes at Zoe, "I don't remember having an ungrateful student like you."
Zoe only felt that her good temper was about to be worn out by Juliana.
Zoe took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, "My teacher is called Randall. She is well-known in the art world and her paintings are famous in the world..."
Randall had started out as a cartoonist and her cartoons had spawned games, TV shows, and movies by now.
Later, Randall had painted a series of wash paintings, extending the wash painting to the world and making herself famous.
But Randall was so lazy that she produced a painting in three to five years according to her mood, while other artist produced at least one painting a year.
Thus, Randall's paintings became rarities.
Zoe said a lot, almost making Randall a myth.
Juliana looked at Zoe blandly, "First of all, none of Randall's paintings is called 'The Peach and the Plum', so this is not an imitation; secondly..."
She looked at Zoe and smiled lightly, "Randall has not had any student. You are lying."
Zoe refuted her words, "This painting has the tracks of my teacher's drawing. Moreover, Randall has accepted me as her student three days ago. Believe it or not."
She took out her phone and showed Juliana her WhatsApp.
Juliana glanced at the name of the contact person, which was Randall, and the profile picture was one that Juliana was all too familiar with.
In the picture were two girls - Wendy and Miranda, which had been painted by Miranda with her own hands.
It seemed that Wendy had replaced her as Randall, the painter, right after she had taken over her identity as a jewelry designer!
