I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461 The painting that disappeared

after Zane's explanation and kiss, Yanis put Lana's provocation that day behind her.
Because next was the time to submit the work.
This painting competition was not about submission only if finished.
It was according to the number of order.
Yanis was 16.
All the personal information, past honours, and some descriptive information had to be submitted altogether.
So the deadline was extended a little bit.
By the time Yanis arrived, it was already after 2 p. m.
Yanis went to submit the documents first, and when she went to the studio to get her paintings, she opened the cabinet where she kept her paintings, but it was empty.
Yanis stood in front of the locker for a long time, unable to react.
Yanis went through all her memories, recalling every detail, and there was indeed nothing wrong.
But now, the painting was gone.
Yanis's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden ringing of his cell phone.
It was Mr. Duncan calling, asking why Yanis' painting had not been submitted yet.
Because Yanis hadn't submitted it, the next contestant couldn't, either.
Yanis's grip on the phone tightened a bit and she whispered, "Mr. Duncan, the painting in my locker is missing."
On the other side of the phone, Mr. Duncan's voice rose after hearing Yanis' words, "What? It's gone?"
At this time, compared to Mr. Duncan's shock, Yanis was quite calm.
The works of a dozen of participants were stored here, and they were all there, but hers was missing.
And except for the staff inside, no one else could get in.
Even the contestants, after storing their works, were not allowed to enter until the specified time.
Mr. Duncan soon came over with the staff and the organizers.
Yanis's cabinet was open, but there was nothing inside.
The organizer took a look at the camera on his head and turned around and ordered someone to check the surveillance.
But everything in the video was normal.
Yanis was caught putting the painting into the cabinet at the same time as several other participants, and then locking the cabinet at the same time.
The password was not held by the staff, but on the participant's phone.
If the participant wants to take anything out, they must be there in person, operate on the phone and get the password to enter in order to open the cabinet.
After watching the surveillance, Yanis just frowned.
Mr. Duncan was also sullen. He turned to the organizer and said, "What are you going to do with it?"
The organizer was also a bit at a loss. After all, it was also the first time he met such a strange episode.
"The competition will be held normally, Miss Thompson's serial number will be changed to the last contestant, and hopefully we can find the painting in the last minute."
That was the only way to go now.
The organizers withdrew Yanis's submission and asked the 17th contestant to continue.
They also arranged for a thorough investigation of the bizarre affair.
Mr. Duncan did not go with the organizer to the front to see the other contestants' works, but stayed with Yanis at the back.
"It's okay, you're not to blame for this."
Mr. Duncan softly reassured, "They will have someone check it out."
Yanis nodded, "I know."
At the beginning of the contest, Yanis was still very peaceful about it.
It was just a trial.
But after so many days of hard work here, Yanis gradually became interested in this painting competition.
It was just that she didn't expect that something like this would happen all of a sudden.
There were thirty-two contestants in total.
By seven o'clock in the evening, all of them had submitted.
But Yanis' painting had not yet been found.
Even the surveillance outside the exhibition was checked in detail, but nothing unusual was found.
The organizer also felt that this time it was very strange, "In these three days, we will give you a reasonable explanation, and also give Miss Thompson an explanation."
The review would be three days, and winners would be announced on the morning of the fourth day.
Mr. Duncan's was clearly upset. "I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."
The organizer was also worried. "Mr. Duncan, don't worry, we will definitely find out what happened as soon as possible, solve it and give Miss Thompson, give you an explanation."
Mr. Duncan nodded and looked at Yanis, "Let's go back first."
Yanis didn't tell Zane when it would be over.
Yanis was about to call a car directly back when he saw Iris coming from the side.
Mr. Duncan looked at Iris, who was walking towards them, and whispered to Yanis, "I told him to come over and let him send you back later."
Yanis whispered after hearing his words, "I'll just call a car to go back. He's tired after working all day, so you and Iris go back first."
Mr. Duncan said, "I still have something to tell you, just on the way."
When Mr. Duncan said that, Yanis didn't refused.
"Grandpa." Iris greetedMr. Duncan first, and then looked at Yanis, "What's going on? How can the painting be missing?"
"The organizer said they would find out."
Iris wrinkled her eyebrows, "Since that cabinet was opened by the participant, there's no way anything could have disappeared."
Old Mr. Duncan said, "The organizer will give us an explanation."
Iris nodded, then raised his hand to look at the time. "Let's go get something to eat first?"
After Iris said so, Old Mr. Duncan also just remembered that they had not eaten dinner until now.
He turned to Yanis, "Let's go eat something first, right? It's so late."
Now because of the unpecyed disappearance of her painting, he was with her here all day. Until now, he had not eaten anything, so Yanis naturally could not refuse.
"Yes, my treat."
Mr. Duncan pulled Yanis towards the front, "Let Iris buy for us. Today he nailed a big deal, so he should treat us to a big meal."
Iris followed behind the two, "Please, anything you want."
Mr. Duncan glanced back at Iris, "Looks like a good deal this time?"
Iris responded, "I've been able to treat you to many a great meal."
Mr. Duncan smiled, "Then I'm relieved, Yanis and I are going to eat more tonight."
"Good."
After getting into the car, Mr. Duncan still instructed Iris to take care of his health.
If he wanted to make more money, he had to keep healthy.
"Yes, I will follow your instructions."
Yanis sent Zane a message after he got into the car, saying that he would have dinner with Mr. Duncan in the evening and would be back around 8 or 9 pm.
After Yanis's message was sent, Zane's phone call came through.
When Yanis' phone rang, Mr. Duncan and Iris turned silenced at the same time.
The two men's reaction was a bit unpleasant for Yanis.
"Answer the phone first, or Zane will think I kidnapped you." Mr. Duncan said jokingly.
