“Dustin, what did you do?”
Clara gritted her teeth, and her voice was filled with bitterness.
She loved art and enjoyed the feeling of floating in the spotlight that came with various titles and the adoration surrounding her.
As the darling of the art world, her journey had been smooth since her debut. The top masters sought her out to mentor her, which shocked everyone in the world.
She always believed she was a prodigy who was blessed with innate artistic talent.
But everything was ruined today.
All the associations had expelled her. All her masters had turned their backs on her.
This meant that her path in the art world was completely blocked.
After what the masters had said, no one would accept her work anymore.
They said her works were mediocre.
That was the final judgment!
It seemed nearly impossible for her to break free from that. It was just like a curse.
Clara blamed Dustin for all her resentment.
“You brought this on yourself,” Dustin said indifferently.
People around looked on with mixed emotions.
When he tore up Clara’s calligraphy, many people mocked and laughed at him.
But it seemed like he had been right about that.
“Miss Clara, do you want to continue the auction?” asked a staff member cautiously.
Clara gritted her teeth.
“Let’s continue!” she said firmly.
She did not believe it.
Even if the masters had said something like that, she did not believe that everyone would shun her work.
After all, there were still many of her fans in the audience.
CD
Many people cared about her title as the Goddess of Art, but they actually did not have a genuine appreciation for her art.
She believed that the rich fans who were practically idiots would still support her.
Clara had brought five pieces of artwork here in total.
So far, only two had been auctioned, and there were three more left.

The auction continued.
Next were several pieces of works by renowned masters, and they were sold at impressive prices.
“Next up is Miss Clara’s painting, The Lotus Picker in East Lake. The starting price… Miss Clara has requested that there be no starting bid…” the host said
After all, Clara was not confident this time, The starting price of her previous works was ten thousand dollars, but there was no limit for this piece.
She wanted to quickly regain her momentum.
After the host spoke, there was complete silence in the room.
Nobody raised the bid.
Clara looked hopefully at the fans who had once defended her against Dustin. She wished they would Clara looked hopefuly at the fans who had once defe support her.
Among them were many wealthy people whom millions were just pocket change.
However, she was disappointed.
No one set a price. No one bid even a single penny.
‘How’s this happening? Why is no one bidding? Is my work really worth nothing?‘ thought Clara as her face turned pale with worry, and she felt as if she could hardly breathe.
She was about to cry.
The fans were usually very enthusiastic and claimed they were willing to do anything for her. Why were they silent this time?
Clara looked at everyone with teary eyes before her gaze fixed on Michael.
She looked desperate.
Michael felt a shiver run down his spine and quickly avoided her gaze. He dared not meet her eyes.
He wanted to support her. He was not broke.
But the text message he had just received sent a chill down his spine.
[If you dare to bid for Clara’s works, you’ll be kicked out from the inheritance and the family.]
The text was from his father.
He believed that other wealthy heirs were also‘ in the same situation…
Michael was shocked. What could have caused such chaos among the prominent families?
The Carson family was prestigious in Central Harbor, and they were one of the top powers in Lovellia. What could make his father so cautious?
The threat of severing ties with him was enough to show how serious the situation really was.
