Frederick had avoided her and rejected her several times already. He pursed his lips tightly as he looked at her hand on his arm and heard her words.

He naturally did not believe it! If it were only one painting, then he'd believe her. However, the paintings that had already been exposed as plagiarised didn't even include the one he'd bought. She was too bold! Perhaps, she was taking a risk out of desperation!

Perhaps she hadn't expected that there was someone who'd go through all the trouble of exposing her, who was at this point still relatively unknown.

For the first time, Frederick deeply felt that he didn't know whether or not she could be trusted.

"I can't do anything about it. The evidence is in someone else's hands! Danica, I'm not God! You have to pay the price for the mistakes you've made. Just treat it as a lesson learned! Even if I believed you, I can't make the public believe you. It's not like you won't be able to paint anymore, you just can't be a part of the Painters Association. Be more careful next time, and try your best to produce something that can wow the public! I'm sure someone will recognise your talents."

When Danica heard his words, she cried even harder. If she was convicted of plagiarism, it would undoubtedly be the end of her career! Then her paintings in the future would definitely be worthless! "I know you must have a way. You have to help me! I don't know who else would be able to help me."

There were many events organised by the Painters Association that required sponsorships. As long as he spent some money, Danica was sure that he'd be able to settle the matter. Now, the Randolph family didn't have the means to handle the matter. In fact, if they were to do something at this juncture, someone would definitely call them out for it.

Therefore, Frederick was the best man for the job! He had status, money, and was also willing to help her!

"Frederick..." Danica said.

At first, her words were euphemistic, but now she was acting like a child as she persuaded him. She was so unreasonable and Frederick felt a little unhappy. Someone coughed daintily from behind him.

Frederick instinctively turned back and saw Alicia standing behind him. She held a bitten apple in her hand as she glared at him.

Frederick instantly shook Danica's hand off of his arm, almost pushing her over with his force. He turned and strode towards Alicia.
