Rebirth: An Assassin's Revenge

Seeing that the auction was going to begin soon, the group already started to look for their favorite spots and have a seat.

Many of those who came for the auction were the VIPs of the different circles of society. They were mostly here for the three paintings.

While some of them did like Eve’s paintings, they were mainly there because she was a daughter of the Brookes.

However, Eve was unaware of this. She thought that her paintings really were that excellent, hence today’s art exhibition and auction.

Alexander and Luna sat in the first row. There was an empty seat next to Alexander, and no one was sitting there.

Luna knew that was for Master Gideon.

However, even when the emcee was already speaking on the stage, Master Gideon still hadn’t arrived.

Could it be that she had miscalculated?

Why would Master Gideon still not be here?

Luna rubbed her nose. After the emcee finished his opening speech on stage, he then began to promote Eve’s painting skills despite the disdain in Luna’s eyes.

Someone like her who merely copied others deserved to have her own art exhibition?

While she didn’t understand art, but even she could feel that this was a desecration of the word “art.”

Originally, she thought that after all the praises of Eve’s painting skill, the auction could begin.

But then the emcee suddenly talked about Alexander and Luna. Luna’s heart skipped a beat, and she then turned to look at Eve with fury in her eyes.

Was there no limit to her shamelessness? Not only had she seduced the original’s fiancé, now that she already had Alexander, she even wanted to hitch a ride on their reputation now?

Luna felt that she was quite temperate. But after what Eve had done, she was really becoming somewhat angry.

“Can I go over and slap her?” Luna mumbled to Alexander.

He smiled and held her hands. “Relax, the best is yet to come.”

Luna was slightly confused. “What do you mean?”

Alexander didn’t answer her question and merely looked at the stage and said, “Just watch quietly, alright?!”

Luna didn’t want to ask anymore since he put it that way.

Half an hour later, several of Eve’s previous paintings had all been auctioned off. Finally, it was the three paintings.

However, Master Gideon still hadn’t appeared. Eve wasn’t sure what was going on. Was he not coming after all?

If he was not coming, then she would be quite embarrassed!

The first painting was Princess Cecilia. The woman in the painting was painted beautifully, as if her dress could sway as they gazed at the painting.

“So beautiful!”

Luna couldn’t help but praise the artwork. What level of craftsmanship was this?

Alexander turned towards her and asked, “You like it?”

Luna didn’t think too much as she heard the bids around her, but she only nodded and said, “Yes! I like it!”

As soon as she said that, Alexander’s voice made her heartbeat even faster. “Ten million!”

Luna turned over and looked at Alexander as if she were watching a monster. “Are you crazy?”

If she had remembered correctly, the highest bid was just three million.

Alexander smiled at her and said, “It’s just a painting. It isn’t worth much.”

Luna held her chest. It was not like she had not seen someone rich. But this was the first time she had seen someone spend money like that!

If she knew what he was going to do, she would have said that she didn’t like the painting. Instead, she would have said she liked the shopping mall opposite the art exhibition instead!

“Going twice, sold! Congratulations, President Alexander!” The emcee looked at Alexander and then gave him the mic after he asked, “I heard that you normally wouldn’t participate in this kind of events at all. But seeing that you have the madam with you, you are here for this painting too?”

Alexander merely gave him a faint smile and glanced at Luna, saying, “I’m here today to accompany my wife. She likes this painting, so I bought it for her as a present.”

Luna’s face was blushing. She finally knew how it felt to be pampered by a CEO.

She had to admit, it was quite good!!!

However, it would be better if the ten million could be cashed out instead!

As soon as Alexander said that, an uproar erupted in the hall.

Had Alexander White really fallen for the mentally ill woman from the Brooke family?

He was willing to spend ten million so that the sick beauty would give him a smile?

The emcee wanted to say something else, but someone yelled “Master Gideon is here” and all their attention had been moved over.

After a short while, Master Gideon reached the front row and he said, “I hope I’m not too late and didn’t miss anything!”

Alexander extended his hand and had him sit on the seat that had already been reserved for him. “Not too late. The painting that you like the most isn’t out yet.”

At this time, Master Gideon’s eyes scanned through Luna, and there was light in it.

Interesting! He didn’t expect that there would be someone so interesting in Auburn!

Luna wasn’t sure why, but the moment that she looked at Master Gideon, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

However, she didn’t know where it was from.

The second painting was a landscape painting, and it was also the painting that Master Gideon liked a lot.

Alexander had bought it with fifteen million and gave it to Master Gideon as a gift.

Meanwhile, a businessman bought the third painting.

During this time, Luna felt that Master Gideon kept on looking at her.

She felt that he was evaluating her with that sight of his as if he were looking at something rare.

Yet, she couldn’t say this to Alexander.

After the three paintings were sold, the emcee once again walked up the stage and gave his long speech. Luna couldn’t stand it anymore and pulled Alexander towards her and said, “Where’s your so-called best?”

There was no sign of it even after so long?

Alexander smiled and said, “Don’t worry, here they come.”

Just when Eve thought that the art exhibition was going to end successfully, someone from the crowd suddenly raised his phone and said, “Ms. Brooke, I don’t think it’s right to start an art exhibition with someone else’s painting, isn’t it?”

Eve’s facial expression immediately darkened. “What do you mean? All the paintings here are my own creation!”

The man smiled coldly. “Why do I find that your paintings here are similar to a painting painted ten years ago by another painter, and they’re at least 90% similar?”

Those who were about to leave stopped dead in their tracks. Luna smiled. The real show was starting!

The man slowly walked towards the auction stand then connected his computer. All the proof appeared in front of them. “Ms. Brooke, is this what you mean by original?”

Anyone with a good eye could see the similarity of the paintings, not to mention that there were quite a number of experts among them.

Some of them went to ask the organizer about it while Luna merely watched it unfold with her arms folded.

There was no mistake. Alexander had planted that man there.

Seeing that everything was getting out of control, Eve was so angry that her eyes would shoot fire if they could. And then, the pudgy Mr. Mitchell walked up onto the stage. “Don’t worry. Those who bought Ms. Brooke’s paintings can process your refund here!”

Eve was shocked as her face instantly became pale as a ghost as she mumbled, “What did you say?”

All the paintings?

And the refunds?
