apter 10 Seeing John's reaction , the Johnson family was thrilled . Bianca relaxed , smiling and exchanging a glance with James . James nodded at her , reassuring her that everything was fine . At that moment , it seemed certain that they would become John's students . Emily seemed forgotten . A flash of sarcasm passed through Emily's eyes . Bianca dared to blatantly present her work as her own , confident that Emily had no evidence . Unfortunately , Bianca didn't know that in her previous life , Emily had a habit of leaving hidden symbols in her paintings . John was clearly aware of this . 90 As everyone was immersed in the joy of impending success , John carefully closed the painting . His expression changed in an instant , coldly saying , " With this level of skill, you think you deserve to be my student ? Do you think I'm collecting trash ? " Bianca's face turned extremely ugly , the immense humiliation almost causing her to lose control and question angrily . She dug her nails into her palms to steady herself . Her eyes were red , her body shaking , and she was almost fainting from the shock . Naturally , someone stepped up to defend her . " Mr. Williams , you were clearly impressed by the painting . Why would you say such humiliating words to Bianca ? Did Emily say something to slander Bianca ? Although she saved you , she can be narrow - minded and jealous of Bianca , so those things aren't true , " Eli quickly spoke up , directly belittling Emily in front of outsiders for Bianca's sake . He even reached out to grab Emily , " You need to tell Mr. Williams that you voluntarily gave up the spot . Why would Mr. Williams misunderstand Bianca ? " Emily had anticipated Eli's desperate actions and moved behind John , avoiding his hand . James looked at Emily with disappointment , furrowing his brows and stepping forward . " Mr. Williams , I've seen Bianca's painting too . You taught me to feel the painting , understand its soul , and connect with it . This painting achieves all that . It's clearly a good painting , why would you deny it ? " James didn't understand . 1/3 Chapter 10 It must be Emily using her life - saving favor to deceive John . Bianca's painting was nothing short of exceptional . " You people are shameless . Are you trying to force my mentor to accept Bianca as a student ? John has nothing to do with her , why should he indulge her ?! " Sophia , who had just been guided by John and was inside comprehending the essence , quickly came out to defend upon hearing the commotion . " What are you doing here ? " Bianca couldn't help but blurt out upon seeing Sophia . She glanced at Emily , seeing her looking kindly at Sophia . In the past , Emily would have been most at odds with Sophia to defend her . Bianca's eyes flickered , a cold light flashing . James caught the key point , " What did you call Mr. Williams ? Mentor ? When did you become Mr. Williams ' student ? " Sophia proudly raised her head , " Just now ! " James immediately recalled Emily's words from this morning and understood . So , Emily had given the spot to Sophia and then called Bianca over to make a fool of her ? " Is that it ? You never intended to give the spot to Bianca , did you ? " James questioned . Eli immediately became agitated , about to hit Emily , " You ungrateful person , the Johnson family raised you for nothing . " " Stop your nonsense , or you are out ! " John stood in front of Emily , preventing Eli from succeeding . He coldly reprimanded . Eli , for Bianca's sake , held back and urgently said to John , " Mr. Williams , I don't believe you can't see the skill in this painting . I've seen Sophia's work , and it definitely doesn't compare to Bianca's . They say you're the most principled , but it seems that's not entirely true . This is too unfair ! " " Unfair ? Then let Mr. Williams set the topic , and Bianca and Sophia can paint on the spot . That will show if the master is fair and just , " Emily suddenly suggested . After all , John's reputation couldn't be tarnished because of her . " Fine ! " Eli and James responded simultaneously . They directly blocked Bianca's path . 2/3 8:48 Tue , Oct 14 A Rebirth Top Star Actress C
