The auction continued, and they placed a piece of classical oil painting for bidding.

It was a portrait of a majestic general and his men fighting bravely with the enemy. The vivid image, strong color tone, and well-defined strokes offered a powerful visual effect.

The auctioneer tapped the microphone and announced, "This oil painting, named Victory, is a skillfull work of art of the classical painter, Alexander Yebo, which depicts the victory return of General Theo Clark. Brady Lena has donated this piece of work."

Eva fell in love with the painting the minute she saw it, and she soon joined the bidding.

"One million!"

"One million and one hundred thousand!" Curran immediately made a bid.

He wasn't ready to compromise. The bidding was tense. He was determined to acquire the painting.

The price of the oil painting gradually soared as the bidding proceeded. In the end, Eva and Curran were the only bidders left.

The two immediately became the center of everyone's attention.

  • The Heiress Reborn   CHAPTER 100 "Florence’s Aspirations"

    Jackie felt downcast after she realized that Marian had intentionally bought a counterfeit item, despite her clear and firm instructions not to. Her heart pounded with a mixture of disbelief and betrayal. She clenched her fists at her sides, the room suddenly too quiet, too heavy with unspoken tension.She turned slowly to Marian, locking eyes with her. Fury burned in Jackie’s gaze like a wildfire barely contained. “You knew,” she said, her voice low and trembling. “You knew it was fake, and you still went through with it.”Marian shifted uncomfortably, her eyes darting to the floor. “I—I thought I could get away with it. You were never supposed to find out.”Jackie took a step forward, the sound of her heels echoing sharply in the room. “That’s your defense? You thought you could deceive me?” Her voice was cold now, each word a dagger.“I didn’t think it mattered,” Marian replied, her tone defensive. “It was just a clock. It looked real enough. And you were so fixated on appearances—

    Now that Florence heard Eva's side of the story, her expression changed. She looked at Marian and Jackie with a hint of disappointment."What do you have to say about this? Is what she said true?"Jackie's heart skipped a beat. She denied it in a hurry. "Of course not!"Marian's forehead broke out in cold sweat.She utterly guiltily, Mrs Cruz, that's not true. Don't believe her!"Jackie was unsettled that everything had come to light, so she tried to explain."It's just a misunderstanding! Mrs. Cruz, let me explain..."Eva was pissed, so she didn't want to give Jackie the chance to get away with this. She pointed at the antique clock on the table and asked, "Did you just say it was a misunderstanding? Was your fake gift also a misunderstanding?"Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The atmosphere in the room shifted once more—this time heavier, colder. The guests exchanged glances, sensing something larger at play.Jackie’s lips parted in disbelief. “Fake? What are you talking a

  • The Heiress Reborn   CHAPTER 98 "Intended"

    A couple of days later, Eva followed up on her appointment with Brady.His family's villa was splendidly decorated and located in a suburb with stunning views. The driveway curved gracefully around a tiered fountain, its crystalline waters catching the sunlight like scattered diamonds. Tall hedges trimmed into precise shapes framed the front garden, which was in full bloom with roses, lavender, and peonies.Having already received the order from Brady, the butler came out and welcomed Eva."Miss Lowes, please follow me."The butler led Eva through the huge front garden and into the villa. Her heels clicked against the polished marble floors as they stepped inside. The air was cool and faintly perfumed with sandalwood. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in generous light, casting soft golden reflections onto glass sculptures and gilded frames hanging on the walls.Much to Eva's surprise, the Cruz family was already hosting visitors.From the grand salon drifted the sound of muted conversation

  • The Heiress Reborn   CHAPTER 97 "Tally's Plan"

    Tally received a number of comments after posting it. Marian and Jackie both sent their best wishes and liked the post. Their supportive messages were a nice boost, and it seemed like others were also engaging with the content.Xian also joined them.His comment read, "Blake, you start ignoring your friends the moment you have a girlfriend. I’m in the same hospital as you, but you didn’t even bother to check on me. You just stayed by your girlfriend’s side."It was clear from his tone that he felt hurt and left out, as though Blake had prioritized his relationship over their friendship.Tally quickly responded with a blushing emoji and typed, "Don’t be mad, Xian. Blake is just worried about me."Her message was lighthearted, but it also hinted at her desire to ease the tension. She didn’t want to upset Xian, but at the same time, she wanted to make it clear that Blake’s actions came from a place of concern.Xian, lying in a different ward, got excited when he saw the reply. He quickl

    "Let me go now," Blake said, his voice strained.Blake frowned and attempted to pull away from Tally.The doctor looked at him, disappointment evident in his tone. "Sir, how can you be so indifferent? The patient fell down the stairs due to anemia, and now her right leg is broken and severely injured. She needs your support. As her boyfriend, you should be concerned about her health, her diet, and her daily well-being."Blake’s expression remained impassive as he said, "You misunderstood. I’m not her boyfriend. It’s not my responsibility to take care of her."The doctor, realizing his mistake, felt a flush of embarrassment and chose not to say anything further.Tally's eyes filled with tears, her gaze growing dim."Blake, are you still upset because of Eva? I'll go apologize to her, alright? Please, don’t stay angry."Seeing her fragile and vulnerable only fueled Blake’s irritation."Listen, get some rest. I’ll let your family know you’re here," Blake said, preparing to leave.Tally p

    Xian was still in a daze when the phone rang, pulling him from his thoughts. He blinked a few times, trying to shake off the lingering haze of confusion. As he reached for the phone, he saw Tally's name on the screen, and a wave of curiosity and anticipation washed over him. What could she want at this hour? Xian hesitated to answer the call before finally holding it up to his ear."Xian, have you seen Blake lately?" Tally spoke in a soft voice.Xian felt goose bumps all over his body. "Tally, what do you need from him?""It's been a while since I last saw him. He never answers my calls or comes to visit anymore," Tally whimpered, her voice trembling with worry. "Xian, can you help me find him?"In the past, Xian might have helped Tally without a second thought, but after the harsh lesson Blake had just taught him, he knew better than to risk angering Blake again anytime soon.As Tally sobbed over the phone, Xian tried to calm her. "Please, stop crying," he said gently. "Blake is at
