"If I prove it's fake, what happens next?"she asked and Clara thought for only 2 seconds before replying. "If it is fake, I'll apologise and compensate you however you want, but if it's not, you'll pay me a million dollars for slander and a billion if you ruin it" she said and Evelyn nodded. Logan believed that Evelyn is leading somewhere but just in case of any uncertainty, he would of course pay the money without blinking twice. "Grandma please" she asked and the Old Woman handed her the painting. A beautiful masterpiece it was indeed if it was actually real that is. "If you know Shine well, you would know the attributes meant for his painting only. One, the edges have a flower pattern which is woven with a gold thread. It can only be seen under a bright light" Evelyn began and raised the painting under the light. As she expected, there was no flower pattern. "Common that can't be counted, what if it's the light that didn't show it?" Clara quickly said determined not to lose to her. "If you want more proof I'll show you. Anything to shut your mouth up. Two,this painting was done especially by oil only, if I pour water on it, it shouldn't retain it's bright colour unless it was printed" she continued ans a glass of water was brought forth. "Don't you dare do anything there, if you ruin my painting you would hate yourself. It's the only one of it's kind. Unless you find Shine to make another one ......"she wanted to go on but Logan interrupted her. "So noisy be quiet" he simply said and she understood what he meant as she remembered his previous words. 'Only guilty people are agitated when one speaks the truth. If you are confident in your words, seat back and watch the other showcase their stupidity' he was saying she is too excited thereby showing she's acting guilty. Evelyn didn't mind what they said and poured the water under the curious gazes but nothing happened. It didn't lose it's colour like it was meant to if it was real. It was like before, just wet. She took a napkin and gently wiped it, careful not to tear it. She was calm, extremely calm it was terrifying while Clara on the other hand was agitated. It was obvious she was going to lose. Two experiments showed that it was fake. "For the last one, many of you might not know this but it is true. Get me a blade" she told a staff who hurriedly went to get it . What she is about to do is only something the artist knows about. So unless you're the artist or the disciple, you can never know this. The first two is known to the public. Those who actually have an idea of her painting and knows her works like their names. "I'll demonstrate my final proof" she said and started to scrape the surface with the balde. Clara immediately seized her hands in an hurry and the blade cut their hands but Evelyn's cut was deeper as she was the one handling the blade. "Ah! How could you cut me?"she immediately attracted attention to herself while Evelyn silently hid her own. Why should she start crying because of a cut, she had died by being stabbed to death and her heart removed without anesthesia this was a child's play. "I was trying to stop you dorm ruining the painting and you cut me. It hurts a lot. Brother Logan help me"beads of tears rolled down her face as she wept quite bitterly. She practically threw herself on the floor and walked like she had received her death sentence. "Get me the first aid kit" Logan said and stood up to inspect the wound on Clara's hands. It wasn't deep but it was still dangerous considering her health, losing blood is not a very wise thing to do. Evelyn turned back to the painting and continued her work like nothing just happened. Her injured finger was placed between her laps to prevent it from being seen and the napkin to soak the blood. The first aid kit came and Clara wanted to throw herself on Logan but he stepped back. He could afford to have another episode and end up kissing that white rabbit. With her furious expression, she is s sure to refuse. He ordered her to place her hand on the floor and he hastily but perfectly attended to her wounds without paying attention to her expression. "The colour peeled off, a sign that it is fake,look there's a crack at the end of the painting,the original doesn't have it and finally a blind man can tell this signature is a bit crooked unlike the original. You can check online if you are not sure. You lost, give my apology while I think of my compensation" her stern voice broke the silence in the room. It's not like she would accept the apology either way it was just to mess with her. The happening in the room didn't concern her at all, she was focused on proving Clara wrong but the later won't accept defeat that easily. She would rather jump into the ocean than bow to her. Evelyn stood up and the blood on the white napkin between her laps caught Logan's eagle like eyes. He stood up and held out his hand before her while the latter appeared quite confused. "Show me your right hand"be told her and of course she refused. She isn't an attention seeker like Clara, not so fragile she needs a prince charming to save her from the simplest of things like a cut. It'll be pathetic if her disciples finds out. Seeing that she refused him, he forcefully took it and blood was seeping through the wound at an alarming rate. The wound was quite deep, it frightened some people especially the Old Madam. "My goodness, why didn't you show us this. You came to my house and now you're injured, I apologise" the Old Woman quickly said deeply sorry as she hurriedly stood up. "Grandma it's fine, this is nothing,nothing at all....Aish"she exclaimed in pain. Logan had deliberately pressed on the wound with the cotton swab. "Think before you speak you idiot" he muttered then began to disinfect the wound blowing on it regularly as Clara stared in jealousy. Logan didn't even touch her as he cleaned her wounds but he firmly held that s**t hand and helped her to clean her wounds gently. Her's burned but all he said was bear with it, while he is blowing on the wound for her. The rest of the household was shocked at the display of affection Logan showed. Something he had never done before is what he was doing now. Blowing on a wound for a girl, a specie he doesn't hold, nor touch. Even female mosquitoes stay away from him. Evelyn on the other hand had no visible reaction but her heart thumped wildly against her ribcage threatening to burst open very soon. It was the numerous jealous stares she received that made her know that she wasn't dreaming. A backer shouldn't do this right?. "All done, be careful. Playing with sharp object and ending up getting cut like a 3 year old" he scolded her while she stuck out her tongue at him. "Say whatever you want it's not my fault, blame your pretty fiancee who shook my hands. Speaking of that artwork, you lost Cinderella fulfil your end of the deal or don't tell me you're not upright enough" she taunted but the later snorted. "Like I would believe you, what if you made all of it up just to trick me" she insisted clearly not wanting to give up. "I called Old Yang to take a look at the painting and see if it's fake or not. See, he's here now" Logan said and a man in his early 70's came into the house. Old Yang was a master artist before he retired, people believed he trained Shine but he was actually just a disciple of her master just like her. He learnt calligraphy and painting with her but it was long ago, he wouldn't be able to recognise her even if he tried to. "Welcome Old Yang this is the painting I told you about, take a look at it" Logan went straight to the point and the man did look at it, but for only a maximum of 3 seconds before tossing it away. "The audacity of some wannabes to try to depict, Shine's artwork. They should be arrested" the Old Man was furious but Clara was worse. She has been duped of 1 billion dollars, lost her face infront of everyone as she remembered Logan had said 'If you are confident in your words, seat back and watch the other showcase their stupidity'and now she has to apologise to this b**ch. "That settles it, Clara don't wait for me to tell you what to do. Be someone with integrity and fulfil your obligation" Logan calmly reminded her and Evelyn couldn't hide her smile. "But..... No I was duped I didn't know" she tried to refuse and buy time. "Well, it could have happened to anyone. If you weren't sure you shouldn't have argued but you can't turn back time so do your part" Logan wasn't buying it and insisted. Evelyn had gotten hurt because of this, if she didn't receive her apology, it won't end well. At this moment, she suddenly rolled her eyes backwards and collapsed. 'How convenient' Evelyn thought as a doctor was brought in to take a look at her. "She's just stressed" he said and wrote a prescription to be taken by her before leaving. "It's quite obvious you're pretending, I don't care, when you wake up but when you do, you would have to come back and do your part, you can't run away. If you were confident, you wouldn't have fainted. You've showcase your stupidity now it's time to dance to the tune"
