Everyone was shocked.
Ava Wright's face was deathly pale.
Robert Reed was going to take on a disciple!
But it wasn't Ava Wright, he was going to take Amelia Wright...
Ava Wright grabbed Amelia Wright's arm, her ten fingers gripping so hard that her nails dug into Amelia's arm, with an air of warning, forbidding Amelia from agreeing.
Amelia Wright frowned and pushed Ava Wright away.
Ava Wright fell to the ground in momentum, immediately saying aggrievedly, "Sorry, it was my carelessness, it's not my sister's fault."
Immediately, someone stepped forward to help Ava Wright up, shouting at Amelia Wright, "Amelia Wright, how can you be so bad, knowing that Ava wants to be apprenticed to Old Mr. Reed, you deliberately ruined her painting, stole her teacher, and now pushed her down in front of everyone!"
"Is the Wright family abusing you, or are you bullying Ava!"
"Ava treats you so well, always protecting you, how can you be so vicious!"
Ava Wright's lowered eyes could not hide her smugness.
Even if she couldn't become an apprentice, Amelia would never succeed either.
Facing the cold mockery of everyone, Amelia Wright, who would usually endure silently, softly said, "Sister, you just hurt me."
At this moment, everyone noticed that Amelia Wright's arm was already a large area of red, even with nail marks that had drawn blood.
The voices of discontent and mockery towards Amelia Wright abruptly ceased.
Although Ava Wright was good at pretending, everyone knew why Amelia had pushed her after seeing the wounds on her arm.
Many people thought of those abuse rumors and looked at Ava Wright with strange eyes, this was a top-tier green tea b*tch!
Ava Wright was stunned in place, her scheming heart accidentally exposed for the first time, not knowing how to handle it for a moment.
Sophia broke the awkward silence for Ava Wright, saying to Robert Reed, "Old Mr. Reed, Amelia just happened to have the same opinion as you by chance, she recklessly ruins others' paintings and deliberately performs in front of you, how can someone with such deep schemes deserve to be your student!"
Robert Reed, experienced from age, could certainly see through Amelia Wright's schemes.
He even saw clearly the underlying rivalry between Amelia Wright and Ava Wright earlier.
Amelia Wright also looked up at Robert Reed, as if saying, I schemed indeed.
She was so straightforward, without any disguise.
She was also blatantly telling Old Mr. Reed, that painting was hers.
Robert Reed was originally a stubborn old man, who only acted according to his own will, how could he care about others' opinions, he glanced at Sophia and said sternly, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Sophia was startled, quickly shaking her head, "N...no, I just feared you'd be deceived by Amelia Wright."
"Heh, no one can deceive me in the matter of calligraphy and painting." After saying this, Robert Reed asked Amelia Wright again, "Do you want to be my student?"
"Old Mr. Reed, do you really want to take me?" Amelia Wright asked back.
"Of course it's true."
"Then of course, I do." Amelia Wright agreed so righteously.
She came today precisely to steal a teacher, even the scene of splashing wine on the painting had been calculated beforehand, so how could she not agree.
The Academy of Calligraphy and Painting fell silent in an instant.
Someone actually succeeded in becoming an apprentice to Master Robert Reed.
And it's a student who Elegant Art said had no talent... who was expelled.
Ava Wright staggered, almost collapsing.
Sophia was in no better condition.
Robert Reed is a giant in the contemporary Chinese painting world, in terms of status, even the entirety of Elegant Art combined could not compare.
Now that he had taken on a student expelled from Elegant Art, from now on, Elegant Art Academy would become a laughingstock.
Seeing Robert Reed's attitude, it was clear there was no room for maneuver in this matter today.
Sophia suddenly remembered when she had Amelia Wright sign before, Amelia had told her not to regret it later.
She pulled out a strained smile towards Amelia Wright, "Amelia Wright, since you've received Old Mr. Reed's recognition, you must have talent, there might have been some misunderstanding in assessing your studies, if you return that expulsion notice to me, the matter of expulsion will be dropped."
To retract her words so openly in public, she was truly shameless.
