Reborn Wife

Chapter 77: Hidden Plan 

Olivia chuckled and slowly opened her eyes.

"But that's not what I want’’ If she wanted Paul's approval, she didn't need to play with these tricks.

She could directly draw a dozen of paintings.

Her talent was incomparable to anyone's.

Ashley was puzzled.

"Then what do you want?"

"Don't ask, just watch what will happen next." Olivia narrowed her eyes and patted the grass beside her.

"Come and lie down."

"Alright!"

Ashley didn't bother her anymore.

She just unconditionally trusted Olivia's plan, and she would forever stay on her side.

At that moment, in the huge studio, the students poked their heads out. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing the great painters coming together, they were excited and nervous for a moment.

They immediately returned to their seats and became serious.

Paul walked in and raised the painting in his hand.

"Who drew it?" He asked.

It was a landscape painting he took outside.

However, the students were dumbfounded and all shook their heads in confusion.

"It's not me’’

"It's not me either”

Seeing so many people shaking their heads, Paul was somewhat shocked.

"This should have flown out of the window.It just happened that I picked it up when it landed.Is nobody really here who drew this?"

Maggie, who came from the bathroom, was about to enter the room when she heard Paul.

In the instant she became excited while a thought came to her mind.

"Teacher, that painting belongs to me.I sat in that seat and went to the bathroom without paying attention.It might have just been blown down by the wind."

She pointed to her seat, which was just close to the windowsill.

The window was open, and she was completely convincing with all that she just said.

"It's yours?"

Paul was a little happy and nodded his head repeatedly.

"Nice to see I've stumbled into what I've been searching for! Good, very good, then from today onwards, you will be my student!"

Being recognized as a student of Paul during the competition, she was really fortunate and unbeatable! Maggie surely placed her spot in the art industry! The students looked at each other with envy in their eyes.

Maggie couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised in her heart.

Originally, the rule was that after the initial selection, there would be another round of screening.

But now, because of the painting, Paul directly accepted her as a student, skipping the second part of the process altogether.

Maggie was glad she made a wise decision.

If the painting's true owner arrived, then Paul’s student would not be her.

Maggie was not afraid to be discovered as a fraud. She was already talented.

Even if she was exposed, everyone would believe that she was just framed by that person.

Maggie smiled obediently and readily agreed, "Alright, thank you teacher!"

Just like that, Paul would try his best to focus on Maggie in the afternoon's class.

While the remaining painters would guide the other students.

After class, Paul and the others left in satisfaction.

Maggie, on the other hand, was once again surrounded by people, and everyone was praising her.

The envious students uttered all kinds of admiration.

"Maggie, you are really amazing! You are indeed a famous genius in our school.Compared to you, Olivia is nothing.Other than her family background, she is useless!"

"With your talent, it won't be a problem for you to win an award in this competition!"

"That's right, that's right.Don't forget about us when that time comes.Also, we will work hard in order to be like you and make Paul recognize us to be his students!"

Everyone was flattering her, and Maggie was very proud of herself.

Feigning humbleness, Maggie did her best to hide her true feelings.

"No, no, I'm just lucky.Don't worry, I'll definitely say good things about you guys in front of Paul.As long as my teacher agrees, we'll still be together in the future!"

They were so happy to hear that.

Everyone had a good impression of her.

The news quickly spread, and when Olivia found out, she just laughed without any surprise.

She already knew what Maggie would do.

For her, Maggie was selfish, despicable, and narrow-minded.

Maggie would do anything to catch such a good opportunity.

Now she had taken the bait, they would capture her in no time.

Olivia took out a few paintings she had drawn before and asked Ashley to find an opportunity for the next day to skillfully deliver them to Paul.

Ashley didn't understand what she was doing and asked blankly, "Olivia, now that Maggie is taking your place, why are you sending these paintings out? Just why?"

"For…” Olivia revealed an evil aura.

"In order to expose her.’ That night, Maggie's dreams were pleasant.

She imagined that she had won the highest honor in the competition.

From then on, no one could discriminate against her background in the LC City! She also dreamt that Leonard wanted to marry her.

When Maggie woke up, her mood was filled with unprecedented joy.

Just as she finished her breakfast early in the morning, she was called over by Paul.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Maggie walked into the studio that the school had specially arranged for the well-known painters.

It was clean and spacious, and it was bright and pleasant.

At that moment, Paul was looking at the artworks on the table with his back to her.

When he heard her coming, he hurriedly called her out, "Come here, this painting is exactly the same as the landscape you painted yesterday.But looking at the paper, it was made a few years ago, right?"

Maggie's smile stiffened.

Looking down, there was a beautiful painting of a mountain village on the table.

The shine of fireworks was shrouded in white clouds and birds, and the style of the painting was neat.

The piece was obviously the work of the same person as the landscape painting from yesterday.

Seeing that she was stunned, Paul smiled and teased her.

"What's wrong? Don't you remember drawing it yourself?" Maggie was a little shy.

"This was painted by me a year ago.I remember that some of my classmates said that they liked it, so many of them were sent out.I didn't expect that someone would bring it and impress you"

She was trying to make a way out of such mess by making excuses in advance.

Otherwise, if the owner of the painting would show up, she couldn't defend herself anymore.

Paul nodded with his gratified gaze.

"You are the most promising student I have ever met.In the future, I am very optimistic about you!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

"Then you can go.Prepare your entries for the competition next month.If you have any questions, come find me.”

Paul added, "Oh right, you're very good at ink painting.This is your advantage.Let's focus on this theme.I believe you won't disappoint me!"

"Lh Maggie opened her mouth.Originally, she wanted to say something, but in the end, she swallowed her own words back.She was the worst at ink painting.But she couldn't say it to Paul.Gritting her teeth, she had to do it! After Maggie came out from the room, she returned to the dormitory worriedly.

She saw Olivia entering her room and didn't fully close the door.

Out of curiosity, Maggie quietly went upstairs and looked through the open door.

He discovered Olivia sitting on the balcony with her back facing the entrance while drawing seriously.The piece displayed an exquisite ink painting!
