Chapter 438
“Why are you shouting so much? Are you trying to ruin the gallery’s reputation by letting our guests see you acting like a crazy woman?” scolded the gallery manager after walking over.
The lady greeter immediately dropped the attitude when she saw the gallery manager. “Sorry, sir. There’s a woman who’s causing trouble here. She didn’t dress according to the dress code. but she insisted on going in,” she said innocently.
The gallery manager took one look at Corinne and his face immediately changed. He bowed to her and said servilely, “Miss Carew, you’re here!”
The lady greeter was stunned and bewildered. “Sir, who’s-”
Corinne smiled. “Yes, I’m here but your gallery doesn’t seem to welcome someone who’s dressed like me.”
The gallery manager smiled awkwardly before he glared at the lady greeter for offending Corinne. He then quickly apologized to her, “I’m so sorry about the staff, Miss Carew. She’s just a temp so she’s not familiar with the gallery’s rules yet. Please don’t get angry. I promise I’ll fire her immediately.”
“I’m not interested in the gallery’s human resource issues so it’s up to you whether want
you to fire her or not. But you should know that art is for the masses and not only for the rich. How people want to dress is only up to them so you shouldn’t encourage a corporate culture of judging people by their clothing here,” said Corinne languidly.
The gallery manager nodded his head repeatedly and smiled ingratiatingly. “Yes, you’re right, Miss Carew. We’ll learn from this lesson and train the staff properly.”
Corinne raised an eyebrow. “May I go in now?”
“Of course, of course. This way, please, Miss Carew,” said the manager respectfully.
Corinne entered the gallery at a leisurely pace.
The lady greeter watched in bewilderment as Corinne went in. Then she asked the gallery manager quizzically, “Sir, who’s that b*tch?”
“You better watch your mouth! That woman is Miss Carew, our most esteemed guest. Don’t you know that anyone who crosses her will be in serious trouble?!” reprimanded the gallery
manager.

interested in this kind of commercial art exhibition, and the only reason she was there was because she heard Michel would be attending the exhibition as well.
According to the information Marvin gave her, Michel was her mother’s art teacher and the only lead she had who could give her more clues as to who her mother was. Therefore, she wanted to take this opportunity to ask Michel about her mother.
‘Who’s my mother? Who were the people chasing after her? Is she still alive? There are so many questions I want to ask him,’ thought Corinne.
At that moment, the gallery manager approached her respectfully and said, “Miss Carew, did you see any paintings you like? Would you like me to tell you the story behind the paintings?”
Corinne was pulled back from her thoughts. She glanced indifferently at the gallery manager and said, “Not at the moment but I’ll let you know if one ever catches my eye. By the way,
when will Michel be here?”
The gallery manager sighed and said, “Unfortunately, there has been a schedule change. Michel was supposed to attend this exhibition as well but his wife suddenly fell sick just when he was about to fly here. He decided to stay back in Phinacea to take care of his wife so he wouldn’t be coming to our country for the foreseeable future.”
