As expected, Mrs. Theseus looked at Selina in surprise.
Selina's hand was held by her. She lowered her head and smiled shyly. "Grandma, I... I am..."
She struggled to speak, but Wilson couldn't stand it anymore. "Mrs. Lorry, you may have made a mistake. Selina is on a ship."
"What?"
Mrs. Theseus was shocked. At this time, Selina finally spoke out a complete sentence, "The boat... it's late."
Everyone was even more surprised.
"Although Selina is the child of Mr. Lorry's ex-wife and has been raised in the countryside, is Mrs. Lorry too harsh on her? She didn't even buy an air ticket for thousands of miles."
"If she doesn't want to buy air tickets for her, he could at least buy her a high-end air ticket. But according to Selina, do you come here by low-end passenger ship?"
"Stepmother is not the mother. Look at Selina's clothes and Vivian's designer clothes. Alas, this child has suffered a lot in the countryside."
Even Mrs. Theseus felt sorry for Selina.
"You must be tired. Have some food later. Ask Wilson to take you upstairs to have a rest."
Selina nodded and raised her eyes at the mother and daughter disdainfully.
Lorry looked into her eyes and couldn't help feeling nervous.
This girl came by ship? Even if she lived in the countryside, how could she be so poor?
She had a feeling that she was set up by the dead girl. With hatred in her heart, she winked at her daughter again.
Vivian stepped forward again and presented the birthday gift she prepared to Mrs. Theseus. "Grandma, happy birthday to you. Vivian specially asked Tom in England for this picture. Mr. Tom also said that if he wasn't busy with the art exhibition abroad, he would be engaged to celebrate grandma's birthday."
As soon as she unfolded the painting in her hand, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"It's Mr. Tom's work? In last year's auction, Mr. Tom's painting was worth tens of millions of dollars. I'm so lucky to see it at Mrs. Theseus's birthday party today."
"I've heard that Miss Vivian has both talent and appearance. According to what she said just now, has she been accepted as a student by Mr. Tom?"
"At Mrs. Theseus's birthday party, she sent a pine tree painting. It's good in meaning and reflects Miss Vivan's sincerity."
Tom was the most famous painter in modern times. He was so arrogant that it was hard to get a painting. Therefore, as soon as Vivian's pine tree painting was shown, there were exclamations one after another, and everyone was extremely flattering. Mrs. Theseus looked at the painting and nodded with joy.
With a slight smile on her lips, Vivian looked at Wilson subconsciously.
Wilson's dark eyes fell on the picture. Tom was a painter he appreciated very much. The painting of Vivian surprised him very much. He even wanted to have a look at it.
As soon as he moved, the country girl beside him said slowly, "The painting is fake... Fake."
Wilson frowned and looked at Selina unhappily.
Did she say he had never seen the world?
While drinking the tea in her cup, Selina thought to herself, how could Tom, a proud painter, give the painting to Vivian? If he gave it to her, no matter how he invited her, she would never learn to paint with them.
Besides, the painting was thrown in her grandfather's warehouse. If it was the real one, it would be terrible!
"Sister, what did you say?"
Although Selina's voice was low, it was still heard by Vivian. She smiled and sincerely wanted to make a fool of this ignorant country girl.
Selina put down the teacup unhurriedly and stood up. "I... I said... Your painting..."
