Two days later, Catherine's matter took a turn for the better. One of the victims came out and said that the things that were said in the newspaper were false. They were jealous of Catherine's talent and had to let her come forward before joining forces with several other painters to fabricate it. For these things, Catherine did not do these things at all, and also publicly apologized to Catherine and issued a statement.
After having this one, two more painters came forward and issued the same statement one after another. One of the painters with a disabled hand also said that his hand was accidentally broken by himself, not as the newspaper said. It was interrupted by Catherine looking for someone.
The crowd was in an uproar, and the people who originally accused Catherine turned their guns around and blamed the injured painters. Later, the artist who was handicapped even committed suicide at home.
Catherine sneered when she saw these reports at home, and she knew that as long as her mother was willing to help her, these reports were nothing to her at all.
"Although the matter has been resolved, you should stay at home for me during this time, and you are not allowed to go out and cause trouble for me." Daisy said coldly.
Catherine said obediently, "I see, Mommy, I've been staying at home for a while to improve my painting skills."
A glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Daisy's eyes, "I hope so. I discussed it with your father, and you are too old to get married. I think Kenneth from the Lampson family is a good one. I will arrange for you to meet another day."
Catherine's original smile froze on her face, "Mummy, I'm only twenty-six years old, so I'm not in a hurry to get married."
"Twenty-six is not too young. You were born when I was twenty-six. Do you despise Kenneth?" Daisy asked lightly.
"No, the people Mummy looks at must be extremely good, but now I just want to learn to draw well, and only if I can draw well, I won't embarrass Mummy."
"If that's the case, then the matter is settled as it is. You can meet another day. If it's suitable for you to get engaged next month, your father told Kenneth's father about your marriage last time."
Catherine wanted to say something, but Daisy didn't give him a chance to speak, "Don't say anything if you don't have any thoughts, that man is not suitable for you, and you won't have any results. Even if people are willing to divorce for you , your father and I will not agree. The Lampson family is our partner. If you and Kenneth marry, then our two will be a strong alliance. Whether it is for you or him, there will only be benefits in the future. harm."
Catherine lowered her eyes and said nothing, "Catherine, did you hear what I said?" Daisy's voice was slightly lower.
"Got it, Mommy."
Back in her room, Catherine looked sad, even if she was the eldest young lady, in her mother's eyes, it was not a tool for marriage.
Thinking that she was about to marry a person she didn't like, but Shen Qinglan was so favored by that man, Catherine's hatred for Shen Qinglan was like an erupting volcano, and she couldn't stop it.
Catherine lay for a long time before she got up to call her father. Although the family listened to her mother, her father could help her persuade her, right
To Catherine's disappointment, her father didn't help her, "Catherine, this is a decision made by your mother and I. Kenneth is very good, you know it when you meet him, my father has been in contact with him many times, I'm very satisfied with him, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied with him if you see him."
"Father, I don't like those rich sons who only know how to rely on the shadow of the family. I want to marry the best man in the world." Catherine said aggrievedly.
Her father Louis sighed, "Catherine, your mother has already told me about you, and I agree with your mother, don't talk about it again, and you should prepare well for meeting Kenneth, I still have things to deal with now, just listen to your mother at home."
Being hung up, Catherine looked frustrated and annoyed, but she didn't dare to resist her parents' decision, especially her mother's.
Daniel was in Sydney recently. Naturally, he saw the news on the newspapers and the Internet. It is not surprising that Katherine was able to clean up so quickly. If the Boyle family and Katherine's mother, the Mill family, have the power, even this matter If he can't figure it out, then he really has to doubt it.
It's just that in the eyes of the general public, Catherine's reputation has been whitewashed, but in the eyes of the insiders, whether Catherine is still the talented young painter at the time can be said.
Frank's manor, Daniel was taken to Frank's study by the housekeeper, "Sir, Mr. Daniel is here."
Frank raised his head and was very happy to see Daniel, "Daniel, you are so mean, you don't even come to see me when you come to Sydney, or I will send someone to invite you to come."
Daniel smiled politely, "I don't dare to come here. If I run into your Jin Gui student, and if I don't like it, please come to me. Although I'm not a painter, I don't have as many hands as before, but I still have it. I don’t want to live a healthy life.”
The smile on Frank's face was a little embarrassing, "Daniel, those are all people who said that in revenge on Catherine. My student, I understand that she would not do such a thing."
Daniel's eyes were slightly cold, "Frank, we've known each other for a long time, I've always regarded you as my friend, but I didn't expect that I can't even exchange a single word of your truth, I can tell me very bluntly. , my gallery was set on fire because of what you call good student Katherine."
"Daniel, you can't talk nonsense about some things." Frank sank his face. Daniel is also a well-known figure in this industry. If he stood up and said this, Catherine would bear such a stigma for the rest of her life. Not clean.
The newspapers only reported that Catherine ruined the future of some painters because of jealousy, but it did not say that she also burned down Daniel's gallery.
Daniel laughed, "Frank, do you think I'll talk nonsense without any evidence?"
"Is what you said true?" Frank also believed in Daniel's personality in his heart, and it was just a subconscious reaction of people.
"What do you think?" Daniel asked him back.
"Frank, I'm not here to discuss Catherine's issue with you this time, I want to ask you to be alone." Daniel directly stated the purpose of this visit.
"Anyone, who?"
"Jonathan." Daniel spat out a name.
Frank looked sideways, "Daniel, what do you mean?"
Daniel chuckled, "Jonathan is a very talented artist, and what he lacks is just an opportunity. You and I both know this. You originally wanted to give him this opportunity, but because of some scruples, you never found such an opportunity. , but I'm different, I don't have any messy concerns, I can give him this opportunity. Of course, I know that you can't bear him, but Frank, please think about it carefully, I'm popular Jonathan doesn't have anything for you The good thing, at least the few of his paintings in your hand will be very valuable."
Frank also knew that what Daniel said was very reasonable. He had to give the Boyle family's face, but Daniel really didn't have this concern. He just gave Jonathan to Daniel, and he was still reluctant.
"Daniel, I can't decide this matter alone. If Jonathan doesn't want to, then I have nothing to do." Frank said with embarrassment.
He cursed the old fox secretly in his heart, but Daniel couldn't see any difference on his face, "It's very simple, we'll find out by asking myself. You should know where he lives."
"What's the trouble with it? I'll just call him directly."
Daniel waved his hand, "No, it's not sincere to make a phone call. It's the greatest respect for him to come to the door in person."
Frank thought for a while, then said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go with you."
"That's the best way, since I'm here, let's go now."
Frank looked at him speechlessly, "Daniel, do you need to be so impatient?"
Daniel shrugged and said honestly, "No way, I'm afraid you will regret it."
Jonathan's home is in the poorest area of Sydney, and people living here are from poor families.
Daniel looked at the old house in front of him and couldn't believe that Jonathan lived in such a place.
Frank's face was a little uncomfortable. "Jonathan is a weird man. I arranged a place for him before, but he didn't want to move."
Daniel was speechless, there really was someone who was "money like dung", he knocked on the door, and after a long time, there was the sound of slippers, and Jonathan's face appeared in front of them, still with the same numb expression. look.
Daniel said, "Hello Jonathan, I'm Daniel, we met at Mr. Frank's manor at the last art festival, I wonder if you still remember?"
Jonathan heard the words and just said two words, "Is something wrong?"
"That's it, I want to invite you to my studio."
Frank stared, Daniel didn't say he was joining the studio just now, this bastard.
Daniel ignored Frank's gaze and continued to say, "I can push your paintings to the stage of the world and let more people see your works."
Jonathan didn't even change his eyes. "Not interested."
When Daniel choked, this person seemed to be a little bit soft and hard to eat. Frank saw that Daniel was being bullied like he was before, and his mood was much better. Looking at Jonathan, his eyes were pleasing to the eye.
Because I hit a lot of nails with Jonathan before, I saw that Jonathan's anger was not smooth. Now that he knows that he is not the only one, this tone is naturally smooth.
"Daniel, since Jonathan didn't mean that, let's go." Frank said with a smile.
Daniel hehe, "Jonathan, can I have a few words with you alone, if you still don't want to after I say it, then I won't bother you again in the future, do you think so?"
