Chapter 149

Nathan looked into Suzanne’s clear eyes and realized her gaze had changed. The certainty in her eyes
exuded confidence and self- assurance. Her timidity and self-doubt had inexplicably disappeared.
Nevertheless, Nathan decided he would stand behind Suzanne regardless of whether she could
resolve the situation or not. He would be her strongest support and back her up.
“Alright,” Nathan replied and gave Cole a meaningful look.
Cole understood immediately and led the soldiers to retreat outside the door.
At this moment, Inkwell lost her initial confidence. She turned to the reporters and said, “Everyone,
thank you for your hard work today, have decided not to pursue the matter of Ms. York copying my wo
and selling it for five million dollars under my name.”
Lindsey’s expression darkened, and she grabbed Inkwell’s arm, muttering, “What are you doing? Didn’t
we agree on this earlier?”
Inkwell lowered her voice, “Haven’t you figured it out yet? General Morrison is clearly on his wife’s side,
I can’t afford to offend him.”
Lindsey patted her chest and said, “Are you afraid he will abuse his power? There are so many
reporters present. Don’t worry. He’s not that kind of person.”
At this point, the reporters asked, “Inkwell, even though you decided not to pursue this matter further,
selling artwork under your name is still considered fraud. Shouldn’t this case be handed over to the
police?”
Lindsey chimed in eagerly, “Of course, we should report this to the
police. After all, she cheated someone out of five million dollars. It’s
not a paltry sum.”
The crowd began to clamor.
“Yeah, this needs to be reported to the police.”
“How can this matter be swept under the rug just because Inkwell decides not to investigate further?
She might have been the victim of identity theft, but the buyer of the painting lost five million dollars.”
“This is clearly a fraud!”
At this moment, some of the reporters secretly started livestreaming. The number of viewers kept
increasing because Inkwell’s fans flooded into the livestream. The comments were coming in so fast
that it was overwhelming.
As the live stream was done in secret, the reporters dared not interact with the viewers openly. They
were afraid that the soldiers of the Norvanian military might confiscate their equipment and chase the
out. Worse, they might even anger the big shots present.
Suzanne walked up to Inkwell with a warm smile on her face. “There’s a question I’ve been wanting to
ask you.”
Inkwell replied, “Go ahead.”
Suzanne said, “You claim to be Inkwell, but why have you refused to show your face for many years
before this? You used to livestream yourself painting anonymously and consistently donate your
earnings.
to charity.
“However, you reappeared in the public eye by revealing your face after three years of seclusion. You
no longer paint on livestreams, but you continue selling your artworks, endorse products, and only
attend paid events. Did you donate all your income to charity?”
Inkwell remained silent, but she looked visibly upset.
Her assistant said with a frown, “Stop imposing your moral values on others. Inkwell used to do charity
because her family was well-off, and she didn’t need much money back then.
“Now that her family has fallen on hard times, she is facing financial difficulties. It is understandable
that she needs to earn money with her talent.”
However, Suzanne pointed a finger at Inkwell. She faced the reporters’ cameras and spoke each word
deliberately, “I’m not trying to impose my morality on her. I’m just telling everyone that this woman is not
Inkwell.”
Her statement caused a stir in the crowd.
The lawyers quickly stepped forward. “Ms. York, please mind your words. We can sue you for
defamation.”
Everyone began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
Nathan couldn’t pull his eyes away from Suzanne. Her conf was so attractive and radiant. It was clear
that she seemed dif
today.
Meanwhile, Sally stood in the corner and observed everything. S was flustered when she noticed the
tenderness and passion in Nathan’s gaze as he stared at Suzanne. It was impossible to hide the love
he felt for Suzanne in his eyes.
The things she feared most had finally happened.
Suzanne stood confidently among the crowd. She turned to the reporters and other art experts. “I didn’t
defame anyone.”
Lindsey stepped forward to defend Inkwell, “Inkwell has her social media account and her artworks.
They are the best proof. Not only did you commit fraud, but you’re also defaming her. You better be
prepared to spend your life in prison.”
Suzanne took out her phone calmly. “I’m going to make a call now. After you all listen, you should
understand what’s going on.”
“What call?” someone asked curiously.
Suzanne did not answer. After the call went through, she put it on
speaker.
Reporters hurriedly gathered around to record the call.
