- Chapter 118 - Chapter 118 Hoist with One's Own Petard
Chapter 118: Hoist with One’s Own Petard Chapter 118: Hoist with One’s Own Petard The crowd was puzzled-why did Gordon say it was a fake without even looking at it?
Vivian hurriedly reached for the phone: “Logan, actually…” But she was too slow.
Gordon had already spoken without mercy: “I have given Cloudborne Crane to my younger generation.” … Vivian froze on the spot, her mind nearly exploding!
It was over.
She would be ridiculed to no end!
Why couldn’t Logan be more considerate and not let Gordon expose her in front of everyone?
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Just now Vivian insisted that Selina’s paintings were fakes, but now Gordon reveals that Vivian’s are also fakes!
Wasn’t it Perry the Fifth who had verified it?
Didn’t Vivian supposedly put in all her effort to buy it directly from Gordon himself?
Selina blinked and said, “Oh, so Perry Miss’s is the fake?
The thief shouts ‘catch the thief’.” Vivian’s head was spinning, almost fainting, and she couldn’t stand steady.
“No… I didn’t know… Grandma, how could I send you a fake?!” Selina gave her no face.
“Mr.
King already said Cloudborne Crane was given to his younger generation.
Could you be his younger generation?” “Selina!” Vivian was left speechless with rage.
She felt the eyes of everyone around her shift, and the pressure on her grew.
Her anger surged, and she screamed, “Don’t gloat, your painting is a fake too!” Yes!
As long as Selina’s was a fake, at least others wouldn’t just blame her-Selina would take the fall too!
With that thought, Vivian grew more excited.
“Grandma, I was deceived by a dishonest seller and bought a fake.” “But the painting Selina gave?
Even Uncle Five couldn’t stand it-it’s a fake!
She’s tricking you; she doesn’t care about you at all!” Mrs.
Perry quickly chimed in, “Old Lady Perry, Vivian is right.” Others nodded in agreement.
Although Vivian’s Cloudborne Crane was a fake, at least she had tried to do it properly.
Selina, however, had carelessly picked a clearly fake painting.
Not only was she deceiving Grandma Perry, but she had also offended Mr.
King.
Vivian quickly thought of another way, “Grandma, I know I was wrong, and I apologize to you.
But Selina, shouldn’t you also admit your mistake?” The members of the Perry family exchanged glances and hastily said, “Vivian can admit her mistakes, but what about Miss Clark?” Selina almost wanted to clap for Vivian.

What a move-twisting the truth and causing confusion!
Clearly, she was the one who sent a fake, yet with just a few words, she turned the tables, making herself the victim.
“Today is Old Mrs.
Perry’s birthday, right?” Just then, Gordon’s voice came again from Logan’s phone.
The crowd suddenly realized the call hadn’t ended, and Mr.
Perry smiled awkwardly, “Mr.
King, yes.” “Oh, I see,” Gordon responded with a slight chuckle.
“By the way, I wonder if Old Mrs.
Perry has received my new work?” Gordon’s new work…
had Grandma Perry received it?
What did that mean?
Gordon chuckled lightly and continued, “Recently, my younger generation asked me for a painting, saying they wanted to give it to Grandma Perry as a birthday gift.
I wonder if it’s already been delivered?” A strange silence fell over the room.
Gordon’s younger generation had sent a painting…
but today, other than Vivian, only Selina had given a painting by Gordon!
Vivian had already admitted that the painting she sent was a fake, so Selina…
Vivian’s mind snapped back to reality-no, it couldn’t be!
It absolutely couldn’t be!
If Selina were Gordon’s younger generation, then what was Vivian?
She would become the joke of the night!
Gordon, pretending to be unaware, slowly spoke again, “Mr.
Reid, why is it suddenly so quiet over there?
Did I say something wrong?” Logan slowly curved his lips, waiting for Gordon’s next words.
As expected, Gordon spoke in a tone full of guilt and ease, revealing who his younger generation was: “Or perhaps my younger generation has offended the old lady?
Ah, Selina can be a bit headstrong-please, Mr.
Reid, take good care of her.” Selina…
Vivian’s face turn pale as a sheet, her body swaying, on the verge of collapsing.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Perry turned as white as paper, panic quickly taking over.
It was bad-if Selina was Gordon’s younger generation, then the painting she sent had to be an authentic piece, which meant…
“Gordon Uncle.” Suddenly, Selina stepped forward and spoke with a feigned, pitiful tone into the phone, “I’ve already delivered the gift.
Grandma Perry was very happy, but the Perry family doesn’t welcome me, so I was just about to apologize.” Vivian choked, unable to speak, her throat tight: “…” Selina wasn’t planning to apologize at all!
What was she pretending for?
This shameless woman!
Gordon’s voice turned sharp with anger, “What’s going on?!” Selina sniffed, playing up her emotion, “Well, it’s nothing really.
Miss Vivian sent your Cloudborne Crane, which was confirmed to be a fake, and in a fit of humiliation, she accused me of sending a fake too.” “Today is the old lady’s birthday, and I didn’t want to make a big scene.
I thought it would blow over, but Miss Perry and Mr.
Perry the Fifth just won’t let it go…” Vivian, frantic, tried to cut her off, “I didn’t-” Selina interrupted her smoothly, “Mr.
Perry the Fifth is a renowned appraiser, how could he not tell the authenticity of your work?” “But he insisted that the painting Vivian sent was real, and mine was a fake.
Gordon, Uncle, I don’t understand why the Perry family is deliberately targeting me.
Did I do something to offend them?” Her words caused a wave of discomfort among everyone present, especially Mr.
Perry the Fifth, whose face shifted between blue and white, looking utterly embarrassed.
Gordon sneered, “Can’t tell the difference?
He must be some self-important fraud!
If the Perry family is going to bully us, then let’s not take this lying down.
Selina, I’m coming to get you right now!” The room fell into stunned silence.
The gravity of the situation hit the Perry family.
Though Gordon had retired, his status was undeniable.
If they offended him, how could the Perry family show their faces in high society?
Instantly, the Perry family shifted their blame to Vivian: “Vivian, look at you-what is this?
Selina clearly sent an authentic piece, and you’re accusing her!” “Yeah, today is the old lady’s birthday!
Stop letting your jealousy show and make a fool of yourself!” “Apologize to Selina right now!” Vivian felt like she was about to faint with fury.
Why should she apologize?
She was just trying to embarrass Selina-what had she done wrong?
“I won’t apologize.
Selina, get lost!” Selina raised an eyebrow, slowly nodding in acknowledgment, “Looks like Miss Perry really doesn’t like me.
Well, never mind.
Grandma Perry, I’m sorry I can’t stay for the rest of the birthday celebration.
I’ll leave now…” Selina was really leaving?
Just because Vivian didn’t apologize?
Mr.
Perry saw the look in Logan’s eyes, a cold sweat dripping down his back.
He quickly rushed forward.
“Miss Clark, please…
please wait!”
