Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 175

When Emma heard Willy say that the painting Danielle had given was real, she panicked.

"Mr. Thaddeus, how can you say this one is real? You can't be unfair just because you know Danielle! You were clearly nodding your head when you looked at the painting I gave Mr. Barnes just now, but now you're saying that the one Danielle gave you is real."

Everyone thought Emma had a point, so they all looked at Willy, wanting him to explain.

"You're the one who made a fake painting, and now you're getting angry out of embarrassment. Don't stand on your moral high ground and speak sarcastically to me. I won't accept moral blackmail."

"I nodded because I thought the person who made this high imitation painting you gave me was quite skilled, but a fake is a fake. Amateurs can't tell the difference, but experts can tell at a glance. This painting is miles away from Chimera's work."

"I shook my head because no one can match Chimera's paintings. Even if I were to live ten lifetimes, I wouldn't be able to surpass them."

"Besides, every painting by Chimera has a secret code of her name in the upper left corner. Yours obviously doesn't, so what are you babbling about with this fake painting?"

"You spent 25 million dollars on this painting, but did you know that a few years ago, I offered Chimera 300 million dollars for her painting 'Towards The Sun' and she didn't agree? Your 25 million dollars is not even a fraction of that."

Everyone was stunned when they heard what Willy said. They knew that Chimeras's paintings were rare and highly sought after. Many of the people present were fans of her. Unfortunately, not only were her paintings expensive, but they were also impossible to buy. Willy had a very high position in the art world, and no one expected him to offer Chimera such high praise.

"Besides, how could a painting given by Chimera herself be fake? You guys are even still looking for someone to appraise it. It's purely an insult to Chimera, you a bunch of petty people."

Willy directly revealed Danielle's identity as Chimera like a bomb dropped directly into the banquet hall.

This time, everyone was truly stunned.

It turned out that Danielle was Chimera.

Even David was shocked that his girlfriend had such an identity.

It was Logan who reacted first, followed by Giancarlo. The two old men rushed directly to Danielle and said excitedly, "Danielle, are you really Chimera?"

Danielle felt a bit stunned. She never expected her true colors to be exposed just by attending a birthday party. But since she had been exposed, there was nothing to hide. "Yes, it's me."

Everyone gasped in shock. Emma didn't expect Danielle to be Chimera. Even she, who didn't understand painting, knew about the mysterious artist, the big shot in the art world.

"Impossible, how old is Danielle? How could she be Chimera?"

Cheryl's face turned pale as she looked at Danielle. She couldn't believe that Danielle was Chimera.

Danielle curled her lips into a cold smile and said, "Don't use your limited intelligence to imagine someone else's life, after all, even if you live your whole life, you won't be able to reach it."

"You..." Emma's eyes were filled with jealousy. She didn't understand why Danielle got all the good things.

Audrey kept trying to make herself less noticeable. She didn't expect Danielle to have such an identity. Her eyes, filled with jealousy, seemed to burn with poison as she glared at Danielle. 'How many identities does this damn bitch have?'

Danielle was becoming an increasingly greater threat to her now.

"Chimera, I am your fan. I like the painting you gave me very much. Thank you for coming to my birthday party. Logan is really lucky."

Giancarlo looked at Danielle excitedly and adoringly. At that moment, he was really like a fan meeting their idol.

A noblewoman walked out of the crowd and revealed Danielle's identity.

The reason these socialites didn't recognize Danielle was that most of them didn't pay much attention to entertainment gossip, so they didn't recognize her at first.

However, they were very familiar with Grace Group. They always kept a close eye on its new releases, fearing they might miss out if they were late. Now, hearing that Danielle was the founder of Grace Group left them astonished.

The socialites began to take a closer look at Danielle. Having Isla design clothes personally was rare, and now they realized Isla was right in front of them.

Danielle noticed the socialites smiling at her, but she could tell the smile was for Isla, not for her. So, she saw no need to return a polite workplace smile.

"Miss Darling, you and Mr. Charrington are really a perfect match."

"Miss Darling, I have always loved your designs. I am also a loyal customer of Grace Group and always make sure to buy their new releases as soon as they come out."

"My daughter is also studying fashion design. I would be thrilled if she could create works like designer Isla."

"Miss Darling, I recently experienced your newly developed beauty project, and it's really amazing. I have to admit that all the products under the Grace Group are top-notch."

Danielle felt indifferent to the compliments in front of her. She had heard too many similar remarks before and was unaffected.

"As long as you like it," Danielle replied. She knew that many of the women inside were major clients of Grace Group, with strong purchasing power, so it was important to give them some response.

“Miss Darling, may I ask what the requirements are if I want you to design clothes personally?" a socialite asked with a smile.
