NovelOnlineChapter 334: As Marissa finished her statement, Remy erupted into laughter, followed by Dunbar and their subordinates.
Ayla gave Marissa a look of disdain and mocked, "Tiffany, who do you think you are? You actually expect Mr. Sugden to repay money? You really are an ignorant fool." Sansa chuckled sharply and turned to Balthasar, saying, "Balthasar, is this the granddaughter you're risking your family's future to protect? See how foolish and naive she is." Balthasar also doubted they would ever see the money returned by Remy, making Marissa's suggestion seem naive. But he wouldn't admit this point and retorted, "My granddaughter might be naive, but at least she isn't trading her integrity like you did with your daughter." "You" Sansa was left speechless.

Remy was jolted back to his primary objective for the day-to acquire the painting Birds Pay Homage in honor of his father. He realized he had been distracted by Sansa and Ayla's interference.
Regaining his composure, he said firmly, "Today, we're here to admire the famous artwork. Let's set aside other issues for now." Then he turned to Dunbar and said, "Please ask Mr. Jacob Mason, the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, to join us." Jacob, who had been standing close by, quickly cforward at Remy's request. A passionate fan of Only, Jacob had extensively studied and written a book on Only's works. His expertise made him a sought-after authority for verifying the authenticity of Only's artworks.
Remy had invited Jacob specifically to confirm whether the Sanchez family's painting was indeed the genuine Birds Pay Homage.
At over fifty years old, Jacob's enthusiasm made him look like a child as he anticipated examining Only's art. He approached Marissa and said, "Miss Nash, today's event is dedicated to Only's groundbreaking work, Birds Pay Homage! Could you please open the painting forto look at?" Conscious of herself, Marissa passed the painting box to Daryl. Daryl carefully removed the scroll and spread it out on the table.
Many spectators had only ever heard of the painting and were now eager to see it for themselves. As Daryl spread out the scroll, Jacob examined it through a magnifying glass, his expression one of deep reverence, akin to that of a devout believer.

In the meantime, Marissa was experiencing a mix of amusement and disbelief. She had never been much involved with the art scene and had only heard of Only after Charles's interference with the Sanchez family.
When Daryl unfurled the scroll, Marissa peered at it curiously, eager to see a creation by the legendary artist. To her astonishment, she recognized that Birds Pay Homage was actually a seascape at sunset she had painted herself at Doomsday Base when she was sixteen.
Back then, she had been confined to the island by her mentor, Tai, and tasked with teaching. Surrounded daily by her male peers, she took up painting to pass the time. Inspired by the sight of seabirds soaring towards the sunset, she had captured the scene and left the painting in the rain.
She had created several other artworks in a similar fashion, finishing them and then neglecting them without a second thought. Unbeknownst to her, her mentor had sold them under the pseudonym Only.
She silently laughed to herself. This was really unexpected. Was shem really the famed only, whose artworks were now worth millions at auction?
