Has Anyone From The Collins Family Arrived yet?

Faced with the ridicule of the crowd, Bailey lowered her head silently, appearing to be upset because of her sister's embarrassing behavior in the eyes of others. However, in a hidden angle where others couldn't see, she slightly curved her lips and revealed a satisfied smile.

"Master Su, I'm sorry. My elder daughter is ignorant. Please don't lower yourself to her level..."

"Hmph, she really is too ignorant!"

"Both are your daughters, but one is like a cloud in the sky, and the other is like mud on the ground. I really don't know how you, as a mother, can tolerate this!"

Simon felt that his good mood had been completely destroyed, and his words became even more harsh.

Madam Collins was worried that Hayley's nonsense would affect Bailey's apprenticeship, so she immediately apologized with suppressed anger.

"I'm sorry for ruining your mood at the art exhibition today... I'll take her back and discipline her severely!"

After Madam Collins finished speaking, she was about to grab Hayley's arm and take her away.

However, at this moment, a commotion suddenly broke out among the crowd behind them.

"Master Evans!"

"Master Evans!"

Immediately, the people who had been gathered together just now automatically dispersed, making way for someone.

Then, an old man surrounded by several bodyguards walked in.

This person was none other than Master Evans, whom Hayley had saved in the hospital that day.

"What's all the noise about?" Master Evans was a bit displeased. Making loud noises in an art exhibition was already a taboo, and so many people crowded in one place did indeed affect others' viewing experience.

"Teacher!" Simon saw Master Evans and hurriedly ran a few steps to his side. He helped Master Evans walk inside while explaining, "It's nothing. A child who doesn't know any better said that the 'Great Country and Mountains' brought by the organizer is a copy."

"What? Great Country and Mountains?" Master Evans paused his steps, and his face immediately became serious. Then, his gaze fell on the painting on the wall, which was three meters long. Gradually, his expression became more and more unpleasant.

"Teacher, you also think it's unreasonable, right? But don't be angry. I just taught her a lesson!" Simon said, pointing to Hayley with his hand.

Master Evans saw Hayley, and his eyes suddenly showed some approval. "She's right."

That day, he had been in a coma at the hospital. He only briefly regained consciousness for a few minutes after Hayley left. He heard from Jasper about what had happened, only knowing that the person who saved him was the daughter of the Collins Family, but he did not know Hayley.

"Teacher, please don't associate with this kind of person...what?" Simon stopped halfway through his sentence, realizing what Master Evans had said.

The air around them suddenly became quiet. "I agree with her, this painting is a replica!" "The organizers tried to borrow 'The Great Nation' from a private collector, but failed, so they wanted to use my replica instead." "I had already clearly refused, but the organizers hung this painting for exhibition without my permission while I was hospitalized, and even pretended it was a genuine work by Master Knox. It's simply ridiculous!" Simon couldn't believe his ears. "Teacher...are you saying...this painting is really a replica?" The others around him also showed full surprise on their faces. What's going on here? There were many experienced art connoisseurs present, but no one except the little girl they had belittled could tell that this painting was a replica. "Master Evans, are you joking?" Many people still didn't believe it, and some even dared to ask their inner thoughts. Bailey, on the other hand, looked at Master Evans expectantly. At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind, that Master Evans must be joking.

Hayley doesn't really understand Chinese painting, how could she recognize it?

If she happened to guess the imitation painting correctly when she was at home before, but now that she has answered correctly again, it's like a slap in the face! Bailey couldn't accept it, as Hayley, who he had always looked down upon, was now stealing the spotlight one after another.

However, just as the person in the crowd finished asking, Master Evans sternly rebuked, "Is art something to joke about?"

As soon as Master Evans spoke, the whole room fell into silence.

Was it really true? Did that little girl actually know what she was talking about?!

At this moment, those who had just mocked Hayley, including the previously smug Susan, wished they could find a hole to crawl into. A little girl had more insight than them, and they had been living in vain for so many years!

"Teacher, you said you weren't feeling well today and wouldn't come, but you're here now?" Simon quickly changed the subject, feeling embarrassed.

"I'm here to find someone!" Master Evans looked around and asked, "Has anyone from the Collins Family arrived yet?"

"The Collins Family?" Madam Collins and Bailey were both present, and it was indeed difficult to explain her medical skills.

At this moment, everyone was looking for the "Collins Family people" in Master Evans' mouth, and no one noticed that Hayley had quietly left.

After a moment, no one had come forward.

"Did no one from the Collins Family come?" Master Evans' voice was a little uneasy.

Jasper had inquired before that the Collins Family would also come to the art exhibition today.

So he rushed over as soon as he could after being discharged from the hospital.

"I was hospitalized before because of illness, and it was someone from the Collins Family who saved me. I came here today to thank her specially, and I also hope she can help me cure my stubborn illness."

After Master Evans finished speaking, everyone around him began to search for the members of the Collins Family. However, no one had heard of a medical family from Pearl City with the name of Collins. After searching for a long time, everyone became anxious and confused. Madam Collins and Bailey also craned their necks, looking around in every direction. They hoped more than anyone else to find the members of the Collins Family as soon as possible. If they could find them first, they might win some favor in the eyes of Master Evans. But no matter how hard they searched, they found nothing. Master Evans sighed disappointedly, "Could it be that she didn't come today?" If they couldn't find the miracle doctor who could save him, he would have at most two or three months to live.

"Master Evans!" Just then, Jasper, Master Evans' personal assistant, rushed in from outside, panting. Due to the master's current physical condition, he was not allowed to exert himself too much. Jasper had been negotiating with the organizers and had cancelled all of Master Evans' upcoming lectures. However, when he had just entered the door, he had seen Hayley passing by him. Jasper rushed to Master Evans' side, gasping for breath. "I just saw that girl leave!"

"I wanted to stop her, but I was too slow. We've already sent people to find her!" Master Evans was surprisingly calm. He sighed, "Perhaps it's fate. At his age, every day he can live is a blessing. If we can't find that girl, it's just God's will."

"Master Evans, I have a few questions to ask you!" Bailey tried to get closer to him, but Jasper stopped her.

"No! Master Evans is not in good health and cannot be overworked!" Jasper said firmly.

"Master Evans, let me take you to the rest area," he continued.

"Okay," Master Evans nodded. He didn't even look at Bailey and left with Jasper's help.

Bailey's face suddenly fell. She watched as Master Evans left the venue. Madam Collins noticed her disappointment and patted her shoulder.

"Bailey, someone like Master Evans won't take on any more apprentices. He's not someone we can associate with. It's okay."

Bailey nodded.

Although Master Evans ignored her, he also ignored everyone else, didn't he?

Even if Hayley got lucky again, so what?

She was an excellent student at the First Academy, while Hayley was just a waste who couldn't even get into the worst school after spending three years in a juvenile detention center!

Even if Hayley made a name for herself today, she still wasn't worthy of shining her shoes!

"Where did that damn girl go?"

Soon, Madam Collins noticed that Hayley was missing.

She always ran away at critical moments, just like she did in the jewelry store last time.

But Hayley's recent performance had surprised her a bit.

Like getting the surveillance video from the jewelry store.

And this time, she was the only one who discovered that the painting "Great Country and Rivers" was a fake.

Could it be that Hayley had really turned over a new leaf and wanted to study hard?

She didn't need Hayley to be that outstanding, she just needed her to be half as good as Bailey, so she wouldn't be looked down upon in the social circle.

Madam Collins' thoughtful expression was noticed by Bailey.

Bailey appeared calm on the surface, but she secretly clenched her fists.

"Hayley, you want to compete with me again, don't you?"

"It seems that I shouldn't have let you out so early..."
