Westin’s mind was spinning. Could this be another copy by my senior t
He leaned in close, recalling Mono’s methods for spotting forgeries, his gare flicking over the brushwork again and again until Araby, he ch difference–the faintest edge, a certain sharpness to the strokes
Shocked, he murmured. “My senior’s insitation skills are getting frighteningly good. Even your signature is identical, Professor
Mono sighed, a touch of helpless pride in his voice. “Her style is always dark and heavy. That vorter painting is actually the least intense ane Forjeert, I’ve kept these hidden from the world”
His casual tone, however, hit the rooms like a thunderclap.
Everyone knew Mono had taken on a disciple, but none had ever seen her work
Now they understood why.
This kind of painting was simply too controversial, too unsettling for public display–anyone who looked at it, artist or not, was left shaken..
– Westin, dyeing Gael who remained completely unfazed, couldn’t hide his curiosity.
Mono noticed and explained, “We have so many of her paintings at home. Gael’s gotten used to them–nothing can fare him now”
Westin’s eyes lit up. “Professor, could we see some more of her work? Does your senior only copy your pieces, or can she imitate other artists too?
Monolited his chin, a note of pride slipping into his words “She can copy anything–if you’re willing to let her see your work, she recreate it intime. But as for visiting, that’s not up to me. I have to ask first.”
Westin nodded with anticipation. “I’m sure my senior will agree.”
Mono motioned to the entrance. “Enough chatter, it’s freezing out here. Let’s headi
dside.”
“Right” Westin agreed quickly.
At the door, Liam let out a low whistle, “Who would have thought Mond’s apprentice was that talented?”
Hannah replied coolly, “With a master like Mono, it would be a tragedy if she wasn’t.”
But she thought to herself, Collin’s work is even better than this.
Liam remembered the three paintings he’d recently returned–authenticity disputed by experts and finally declared imitations.
Aria had so many forgeries in her possession, she must know Mono’s apprentice personally.
He decided not to tell Hannah for now–no need to invite unnecessary trouble.
He offered, “Hannah, do you want me to take you back to your apartment?”
She smiled. “Jazmin’s probably still at my place. Please, drop me
When Hannah got home, her aunt Jazmin Gibson rushed over, excitement written all over her face. “Did you get to see Mono? Did you talk to him about Laking Collin as his student? Did he remember your cousin?”
Hannah squeezed her aunt’s hand. “Of course brought it up. Don’t worry, Auntie, Collin’s talent will absolutely impress him. At the judging in thre days, if Collin wins gold and asks to become Mono’s apprentice before Johan does, I’m sure Mona will agree
Her tone was so assured that Jazmin’s smile nearly split her face. “I can’t thank you enough.”

“We’re family. You and Zander have always treated me and my brother so well. Helping Colin makes me happy.”
Zander Gibson, the head of the Gibson Group, had married late due to work.
Collin, just a
a little younger than Hannah, had shown astonishing talent for art from an early
Unlike some families, Zander and Jarmin had never led to force their son into a career he didn’t want
Zander had trained Dexter, the older brother, to inherit the business. The two families had always be close
Liam drove straight home, intent on returning those three paintings to Arla and maybe getting his hands on Mone’s apprentice’s contact info
