Chapter 607
Everyone started laughing after she spoke. Mrs. Chapman added fuel to the fire and said, "My
youngest doesn't have the same confidence as Ms. Jewell."
Cordelia frowned. She did not want to lie, but she was also unable to say it out directly either. She
raised her eyes and met Keegan's, hinting at Keegan to do something about this. ‘Keegan, what do you
think?"
Vermont's eye twitched. 'Grannies are fearsome, throwing the blame back to Keegan.'
Keegan had a serious look on his face, looked at the two calligraphies, raised his head, and said, "Ms.
Saun's calligraphy vividly portrays the free spirit and elegance in her writing. Stella's, on the other hand,
is unconventional and unique. Each of them has their own merits and is equally as good."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe crowd went silent with many wondering if he was blind for saying that both were equally good.
Stella could not help but wanted to laugh. She thought, 'Keegan must have cracked his head, thinking
about how he could praise my writing.’
Stella was suddenly cut off by a male voice as she was about to speak. ’ Form-wise, Ms. Saun is
better, but Ms. Jewell won by a margin if we're talking about the effort she put in."
Everyone turned their heads to the back only to see Marshall confidently coming forward with a smile.
"Happy birthday, granny. I hope you don't mind if I talk out of line."
Keegan's eyes turned cold. Cordelia smiled and replied, "I won't mind if you have a reason for it."
Marshall warmly said, "I certainly do."
When he finished speaking, he turned his head toward the attendant holding Stella's calligraphy.
"Please turn the calligraphy upside down."
The attendant paused and said, "Upside down?"
"Yes, turn it upside down," Marshall replied. Although the attendant was confused, he did it as
requested.
Keegan instantly realized how Stella was so confident when it was turned upside down. The crowd
soon realized that it was not calligraphy, but a portrait instead.
An unknown voice suddenly came from among the crowd. "Isn't this a portrait of Cordelia?"
The more they looked at it, the more it looked like a portrait of Cordelia.
The distinct traits of her curly hair and prominent cheekbones could be easily seen in each stroke.
Cordelia, who was happy and surprised, exclaimed, "So, this was a portrait all along."
Nothing made her more surprised than this, a birthday calligraphy that looked normal yet could also be
a portrait of her when turned upside down. The faces of those that were laughing at Stella earlier now
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmturned beet red as if they had received a slap in the face. Nothing could beat an art that could become
both calligraphy and portrait at the same time.
"Damn. Your wife is certainly talented. Say, how did you not realize this after staying with her for so
long?" said Vermont. "Marshall is still the one with the better eyes though. He was able to discern the
portrait."
Keegan said coldly, "Can you shut your trap?"
Wenham, standing not far away, sighed, "Ms. Jewell isn't simple at all."
Darcie responded with a downcast smile, "No. She is not."
She looked toward Trevor beside her, and the latter was indifferent, not showing the slightest bit of
emotion.
Stella smiled and greeted, "Happy Birthday, Grandma. I wish you to have good health always."
Jaylene gripped her fingers tightly and said, "I wish you a long and fulfilled life."
Stella thought to herself, 'Ms. Saun spoke so politely. It's as if she's trying to imply that I'm uncultured.'
Cordelia happily replied, "These are good. Both of you did really well. I'll get someone to frame it up on
a wall when I return home."
