Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 37

Chapter 37 Madeline Embarrassed The Scumbag

“Old lady?” Madeline looked at Benjamin with an even more disgusted gaze.

If she had known he was so uncultured, she would have stopped Annalise from falling in love with that man in the first place.

Benjamin was also unhappy in his heart. He secretly thought that since he couldn’t do anything to Julian, he could have vented his anger and bullied the old lady sitting in the back row

He replied unceremoniously, “You look the same age as my mother. Should I call you ma’am if not calling you old lady?”

At first, he didn’t know why that old lady looked at him with hostility. Now, he realized that it was because the old lady had a good relationship with Annalise.

He guessed that it was Annalise who complained to her, so the latter picked on him everywhere.

“Call me Grandmal” Madeline snorted,

“What a fool!” she sneered inwardly.

She glanced at the painting in Benjamin’s hand again and said contemptuously. “Tsk! What a squanderer indeed to spend more than 75 million dollars for a piece of trash!”

Benjamin knew that he had bought the painting and the pot at excessive prices.

Now that he was scolded as a squanderer, he instantly exploded as if he had been stepped on the tail. “How could you say it’s trash? How dare you comment on Ezra’s painting?”

In order to make the public angry at that ignorant and self-conceited woman, he raised his voice deliberately.

Sure enough, many people gathered around, and some people began to discuss.

“Who is this woman? It’s ridiculous of her. How dare she comment on Ezra’s paintings casually?”

“That’s right. A nouveau riche is indeed a frog in a well who knows nothing. How ignorant and self- conceited she is to think that she can comment on the master’s work as she pleases just because she has a little money.”

“Haha! How funny!”

Seeing that everyone had come to gossip about Madeline, Benjamin secretly triumphed.

Nonetheless, Madeline looked at him as though she was looking at a fool as she commented, “This painting. you bought is a sketch drawn by Ezra during a trip one day. While waiting for her friend who went to the toilet, she took some time to sketch this painting casually.”

“Pfft!” Annalise couldn’t help but laugh. Madeline was harsh in her words indeed.

Hearing such disgusting words from Madeline, Benjamin was so angry. “You are spouting nonsense!”

The people next to her also felt that Madeline had gone too far, and they started rebuking her, “Even if she doesn’t like someone, it’s needless to drag Ezra into it. That is such a good painting, looking refreshing, refined, and elegant. How could it be drawn casually while waiting for her friend who went to the toilet?”

“It’s really funny. Who does she think she is? She even heard that Ezra traveled and waited for her friend as if she knew Ezra herself.”

“Pfft! I bet later she will say that she is Ezra’s fourth wife. Haha. Her imposing aura looks like one, though.”

“Haha!” Everyone laughed loudly as they discussed.

It just so happened that Madeline saw Mr. Zimmerman, the organizer of the event, come out. They knew each other, and she had asked Mr. Zimmerman to keep her identity a secret.

She said to Benjamin, “This is my own painting. Don’t I know myself what kind of situation was there when I drew it?”

Whoosh!

The onlookers were shocked. “Her own painting? Is she Ezra?’ they wondered.

Someone immediately laughed wildly. “Pfft! I can’t hold back anymore! This is so funny! It seems like because Ezra never accepts any interviews and does not appear in public, she thinks that Ezra will not expose her in

person. That’s why she comes out with such a big lie.”

“Hahaha! You have to disguise as a man if you want to claim yourself as Ezra’ Who doesn’t know Ezra is a

man?”

“I can’t hold back anymore. My stomach is aching from laughing too much.”

Benjamin also laughed and looked at Madeline contemptuously. “Do you think you deserve to be Ezra?” Just then, Mr. Zimmerman came in their direction Madeline called out to him, “Mr. Zimmerman.”

“Hello! Hello!” Hearing Ezra greet him personally, Mr. Zimmerman immediately strode over in a flattering manner, holding Madeline’s hand with both his hands.

Just now, he was still hesitating whether to come over and say hello, for fear of Ezra blaming him.

“I said that I’m the painter, Ezra, but this young man doesn’t believe me. Mr. Zimmerman, can you tell him that I am Ezra?” Madeline said clearly.

Ever since she became famous for her paintings, she had always been known as Ezra, deliberately hiding. herself from the public.

It was to avoid trouble.

She just wanted to live a simple life, sell a few paintings when she had no money, and continue painting when she had inspiration.

She pursued material life and spiritual life at the same time.

Occasionally, she would emphasize more on material life. Sometimes, she would put more importance on her spiritual state.

She wanted to be an ordinary person who could drink and eat as she pleased. Just like anyone who was greedy for money and pleasure.

The reason for revealing her identity today was simple. She wanted to tell Benjamin what he had missed. She also paid attention to Julian tonight. That young man was not bad, and she wondered if Annalise could develop further with him.

No matter what, Ezra revealed her identity to let him know that although Annalise grew up in the countryside, it wasn’t that Annalise had nothing..

Putting everything else aside, Annalise had won 99 percent of the women because she was Ezra’s disciple.

Therefore, even if he is a nouveau riche in the capital, if Annalise was in a relationship with him, she was not- out of his league. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ezra, I don’t blame these young people for not recognizing you. It’s because you are too low profile and too modest,” Mr. Zimmerman addressed Ezra directly.

Hearing that, the faces of those who had mocked Madeline just now were burning with embarrassment.

Suddenly, the group gathered around Madeline and asked, “Ezra, a pleasure to meet you. Can I take a photo with you?”

“Hello, Ezra. May I have your autograph? I like your paintings so much!”

“Ezra, everyone in my family likes you!”

“Ezra, I’m an art student. I’m very hardworking and talented. Can you accept me as your disciple?”

When Benjamin knew that Madeline really was Ezra and that she commented the painting in his hand was a piece of trash that was painted casually while waiting for her friend who went to the toilet, he suddenly felt panic.

He was glad that he was still young now as he wondered if he experienced such a blow when he was older, he would really die of a heart attack.

“Let’s go, Anna.” Seeing Julian holding Annalise’s hand, Madeline had no choice but to reach out and stroke Annalise’s head dotingly.

At this time, everyone realized that the famous Ezra was actually someone Annalise knew. The former even affectionately called Annalise “Anna.”

Of course, Benjamin had come to his senses to what everyone had realized.

He looked at Annalise’s back, frowning. A complicated light flashed across his eyes.

“She actually knows Ezra so well,” he mused.

Then, he thought of the process of Annalise and Madeline quietly reviewing the paintings

Annalise commented that Caroline Dixon’s orchid painting was not in good proportion and seemed to be distorted. She also commented that the strokes of the fur on Tiger Roar painting by Ezra were too casual It turned out that she was not only close with Ezra, but she was also an expert in painting.

He thought of the cold look in her eyes when she caught him cheating on her the other day.

He had always thought that she was forcing herself to be calm because he felt that she should be grateful for being his girlfriend. He was sure that she would come back and beg for him. After all, their statuses were so different.

At that moment, when he saw her slender figure, he suddenly understood where her confidence came from. Although she grew up in the countryside, she had a fortuitous encounter. On top of that, she also owned the shares of Moonlight Group.

A strong desire for conquest and possessiveness surged in his heart.

He wanted her back!
