"Everyone knows White's works are famous for their rich, vibrant hues. Khloe, your painting is so pale. It's obviously fake." Khloe replied calmly, “It might be a little early to make such bold claims. The appraiser hasn't even arrived yet." Layla ground her teeth. Khloe wouldn't accept defeat until the truth was laid bare, would she? Fine, she would wait for the appraiser to completely crush Khloe's dignity. Just then, Morris' appraiser entered the room.

You'd better hurry and track down the swindler if you want to get your money back before it's too late." Layla expected to see Khloe flustered and ashamed, but instead, Khloe merely glanced at her and said, "If you don't understand White's works, it's better to stay silent. You're only showing how little you know." Khloe's cutting words left everyone in shock, especially Eric and Sloane.
Leaning closer, Sloane whispered, "Khloe's arrogance is unbelievable. The painting's already been proven fake, yet she still has the audacity to talk like this. Where does she even get that kind of confidence?" Despite her words, Sloane smirked inwardly, pleased that Khloe was finally hitting a dead end.

How dare you be so stubborn? Your painting is fake, and the proof is clear for everyone to see. Yet you have the nerve to callignorant? Who do you think you are? Just a pathetic woman cast aside by your own family, scheming to claw your way into the Watson family. It's absolutely disgraceful!" Turning to Morris, Layla poured out her indignation. "Great-uncle, look at her! With behavior like this, how could she possibly be a suitable match for Henrik? Allowing someone like her into the Watson family would bring nothing but shto you!"
