Chapter 79: Trouble-makers
Chapter 79: Trouble-makers
Seeing Paul's expression change, Maggie knew that her goal had been achieved.
Sure enough, Paul frowned and waved his hand.
"There's no need for lazy people to enter.Don't interfere with my class."
He was not a teacher hired by the school.
He only taught there for a few days because he was invited.
Therefore, his time was precious, and this was the only chance he had.
Hearing that Olivia was said to be an irrelevant person, the other students in the studio also drove her away.
"You can't understand what these people are saying, can you? They told you to leave quickly!"
"Don't stand here and influence us.Do you know that it's a rare opportunity to hear Paul's teachings?"
"Hurry up and leave! Shamelessness is really disgusting!"
Words after words, if it was someone else, they would have covered their faces and hurriedly left in disgrace.
However, Olivia did not.
She even calmly walked into the studio.
Then, she pointed at the painting that Paul had pasted on the wall as a model and said indifferently, "This painting is mine.I'm only here to claim what's mine.Is there a problem?"
She stood on the stage, her chin slightly raised and her exquisite face was dazzling.
However, her words became a laughing stock.
"I didn't hear you wrongly, did I? What did Olivia just say? Is she saying that this painting belongs to her? This is simply the best joke ever!"
"You're really shameless.You rushed in to replace Maggie? I'm afraid you're just jealous that your sister got Paul's attention!"
"Yes, yes!"
After everyone laughed out loud, Maggie's expression was somewhat surprised, as if she had never expected Olivia to be so shameless as to try to replace her.
She wept, and then she swore a dispute
"Olivia, how can you say that? I know that you are angry at me, but you can't say such foolish words!"
Being interrupted by someone, Paul was already very unhappy.
He said in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"Teacher…” Maggie cried and said, "It's my cousin who is causing trouble here.I'm temporarily staying at their house.However, Olivia hates me the most, so she often ignores me and doesn't want to be compared to me."
Some people understood what Maggie said, while the rest were only guessing, which might yield other ideas of deeper meaning.
Hearing this, Paul suddenly understood.
Since she was temporarily staying at Olivia's house, that meant that Maggie was being bullied there.
Looking at the crying student in front of him, Paul comforted her.
"Don't be sad, I'm here for you."
Maggie just turned everything upside down.
After Paul finished speaking, he directly made a phone call, calling for the security of the school.
The reason was that there were students causing trouble in the studio, so someone had to come to deal with them.
Within five minutes of the call, the security personnel rushed to the scene.
"Where are the troublemakers?"
Someone pointed at the podium, so the security guards rushed forward to forcefully bring Olivia down.
Olivia could not escape them.
Maggie lowered her eyes.
Everyone thought that she was sad after being bullied by her cousin, but no one saw the hidden sneer in the depths of her eyes.
Ashley was extremely anxious.
They were here to expose the real imposter, and not to lose themselves to their opponent! Seeing the security guards approaching them, Ashley was so nervous that she almost jumped up.
When she turned around, she saw that Olivia was still calm, sitting high in the chair on the stage.
‘‘How could she look like she was looking for trouble?’’ The security guards were stunned.
They were obviously surprised by her powerful aura.
Paul waved his hand and shouted coldly, "Stop dawdling and quickly take the troublemakers away."
The security guard regained his senses and stepped forward to make his move.
However, Olivia smiled carelessly and only asked, "You mean to protect your student, don't you?"
"Of course not’’ Paul's expression was gloomy.
"I don't protect like that.However, I do not allow anyone to slander my students!"
"Since you don't want to protect me, why should I listen to Maggie's one-sided words?"
Olivia stood up and pointed at the two paintings behind her that were used as templates.
"I'm just here to retrieve my own paintings.What's wrong with that?" She said loudly.
Her face was calm as if she was really stating the truth.
Maggie's heart tightened.
She was afraid that if she continued to talk to him like this, Paul would really believe her.
Most importantly, Olivia had done a great job in painting.
As long as she would do another one in front of everyone, it would be clear who was telling the truth and who was lying.
That was the last thing Maggie wanted to see! So she opened her mouth again and cried out in pain, "Olivia, do you really want to give me a miserable life?"
The people watching were subconsciously sympathetic to Maggie.
Maggie lowered her posture, her eyes filled with tears, and she expressed a miserable face.
While Olivia, who was neither arrogant nor impulsive, really looked like an aggressive villain! Paul was obviously impatient.
However, before he could say anything, the other girls who were helping Maggie scoffed and said, "Olivia, you still have the nerve to say such things? It doesn't matter if you are unembarrassed.How could you be so shameless!"
"That's right.You said that those paintings are yours and you wanted to take them away? Why don't you show us some evidence? Could it be that your name is written on the paintings?" Everyone scoffed.
Who would have thought that Olivia would ask with a faint smile, "What if I said that my name was written on the painting?" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
"Impossible!"
Maggie suddenly raised her head, her expression somewhat worried.
"Olivia, why don't you give up? Do you really want to destroy our relationship that much?"
When she stole the ink painting from Olivia, Maggie carefully inspected it.
There was no evidence that it was hers.
At the same time, she also checked the ink painting.
There was nothing wrong with it.
Since she wanted to steal her works, certainly she had planned everything for herself! Therefore, Maggie firmly believed that Olivia's words were only meant to confuse her.
"It's meaningless for everyone if we'll just continue in arguing.Why don't you let Paul take off the painting and look to see if my name is really on it? I wonder what Paul thinks?"
Olivia's suggestion was approved by Paul.
"Alright.Since they insisted on their own words, Paul directly took the evidence and spread it out.Naturally, there was always a way to determine who was telling the truth.
Paul had always been fair.
After agreeing, regardless of how Maggie pulled him, he directly walked to the stage and took off the landscape paintings that were used as templates.
Maggie's palms were covered in sweat.
It's a big gamble for her.
She just won the bet, but if she was discovered cheating, it would be hard for her to stand in school from then on.
The studio fell silent for a moment, and most of the students were ready to discover the truth.
As for the few girls who had initially defended Maggie, they comforted her once again-- "Don't worry, Maggie.We don't think you're lying! We just want to take this opportunity to teach Olivia a lesson! Let's see if she dares to be so arrogant once we've found out the truth!"
"That's right! This kind of person who takes herself too seriously.She even bullies her cousin everywhere because of her status in her family.She's really a fraud!"
Rather than feeling comforted, Maggie felt further bitterness.
‘‘It was all because of these troublemakers!’’
‘‘If they hadn't talked too much, Paul wouldn't have listened to Olivia's explanation at all.He would have let the security guards send him out! She was clever in confronting me in public! I couldn't lose to her right now!’’
But at that moment, Paul, who had been looking at the painting for a long time, frowned again and said, "No, there isn't a single word on it!"
