People around saw Clinton ignore Cara, went to Ashley enthusiastically, and expressed his excited feelings to Aurora. ‘What’s going on?’ they thought.

A boy in the crowd couldn't help but ask, “Mr. Baze, aren’t you here for Cara?” Clinton was talking to Ashley. When he heard this question, he felt

bothered and frowned, “Of course not. | heard that Aurora would attend the art exhibition, so | came here by plane from abroad overnight to meet her.

“As for Cara, | knew she also attended this exhibition just now.”

After hearing Clinton’s words, everyone gasped again.

Anyone who knew Clinton knew he was frank. His words were also influential. “Oh...oh my! Mr. Baze came by plane for Aurora, not for Cara!”

“He just found out that Cara is also in this exhibition... Well, Clinton doesn’t pay attention to Cara at all. | thought Cara and Clinton were very familiar...”

“Look at Clinton’s excited face. He is so happy to meet Ashley.”

After hearing Clinton’s words, Cara’s face became stiffened. The gentle smile on her face could no longer be maintained. Clinton completely ignored her and came here for Ashley...

Cara was left alone. She gritted her teeth, took deep breaths, and smiled softly to show she was generous and didn’t mind.

At this time, the reporters surrounding Clinton and Ashley took chance to ask a question, “Mr. Baze, | heard that you are very interested in landscape oil painting of Zyrrinthia. Can | know the reason?”

Clinton looked at Ashley and said sincerely, “I’ve heard of the landscape. oil painting of Zyrrinthia before, but | don’t know much about it and have no interest. The first time | saw your painting, | was attracted by its artistry, which | had never experienced before. From then on, | began to study your paintings and learn your language, hoping | could meet you. and communicate with you one day.”

Ashley was slightly startled and smiled, “I’m so glad you like our painting. The landscape oil painting is a unique painting form of our country. It has its system and profound cultural meanings. It is also the essence of our culture.”

Clinton nodded repeatedly. “Since then, | have been very interested in the culture of Zyrrinthia and also studied many paintings. However, | still have some questions. | wonder if you can help me?”

Ashley smiled, “My pleasure.”

After listening to the conversation, everyone at the gallery was more convinced of Clinton’s admiration for Aurora. He even learned the language!

They never expected Ashley to spread the culture unknowingly. Charlie looked at Ashley with disbelief. He didn’t expect Clinton to admire her so much...

Clinton suddenly remembered something, took an exquisite box from his pocket, and handed it to Ashley. “A gentleman entrusted me to give you this gift.”

Ashley was confused. “Who?” Clinton replied, “He said he adored you so much.” Ashley was even more confused.

The reporters nearby immediately sensed something and thought, ‘Someone adores Ashley and asks Clinton to give her a gift. This person is unusual for he can ask the famous painter Clinton to do him a favor.

Clinton thought about it and said to Ashley, “He said you called him ‘bastard Andrew. He intended to come to see your painting in person, but he couldn’t get away for a while... He also said he likes the pears you draw. It looks great!”

Ashley sneered inwardly, ‘I know it! Andrew Banks!”

Joseph stood by the side, heard the name, and immediately became.

nervous.

‘Damn it! Andrew's intention is too obvious!’ he thought.

Clinton handed the box to Ashley and opened it gently. It was a beautiful rose brooch.

The rose was cut with a rare pink diamond, and it could catch everyone’s

eyes at once.

There was also a note underneath, and “The Final Rose” written on it.

A female reporter in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, “Is it that poem, ‘In my barren land you are the final rose”?” “So romantic!” Another girl cupped her face and said.

But Ashley felt it was troublesome. She didn’t want to accept this gift at

all.

She couldn’t make Clinton embarrassed, so she had to take the box and decided to return it to Andrew later.

Joseph was anxious and thought Andrew just wanted Ashley to be his girlfriend. The romantic words were nonsense,’ he thought.

A bold reporter quietly asked Joseph, “Mr. Fox, Ashley works at your company. Do you know who this man is?”

Joseph replied angrily, “I don’t know!”

The reporters were so curious and belatedly thought of something. ‘No- wonder Joseph posted a painting of a starry sky drawn by Aurora on Twitter and said that Aurora looked like Ashley. It turns out that Joseph already knew Ashley was Aurora.

Areporter wearing glasses suddenly asked, “Mr. Fox, | heard that Mr. Kingsley will come to today’s art exhibition. Is it true?” Joseph hummed and chuckled, “Of course.”

The reporter probed, “Mr. Fox, netizens speculated that Mr. Kingsley will come here for Cara, will he?” Joseph put on a dangerous smile. “You can ask Valentin directly.”

The reporter trembled in fright and thought, ‘I don’t dare to ask him.’

At this moment, a staff ran over and stuttered in excitement, “Mr. Hunt...Mr. Kingsley...is here...for real!” Simon was so excited that his beard trembled. “Come with me to greet

him!”

After Simon finished speaking, he ran slowly with his old legs, which showed his pleasure.

Everyone present knew Valentin and was all excited to look outward.

“Oh my, Valentin really came here!”

“Is he here to see the landscape oil paintings? Or, as netizens guessed, he is here for Cara.”

“| have no idea. But being able to see Mr. Kingsley is enough to brag about for a lifetime.”

Cara’s fans immediately became excited as they heard Valentin’s name.

They thought, “That was Valentin, the president of the Kingsley Group.”

‘He was more famous than Clinton.

‘Cara once had a photo taken with Valentin, and Valentin’s attendance at the exhibition this time was probably for Cara. How could | not be excited?

With such comparison, Clinton showing up is nothing.
