Chapter 402

Leia's expression turned unpleasant when she heard Bianca's laughter. 'Did I say something wrong?'

Ever since she was adopted into the Norman family, she had gone to an elite school and even studied abroad for two years.

She did not believe that Bianca was anything more than a philistine!

Leia was not interested in art since she was young, but her mother was a big fan. She forced herself to read up on art history so that she could humor her mother.

However, she would begin to fall asleep as soon as she opened a book and read about the boring theories and the lives of famous artists. Eventually, she gave up and instead tried to please her mother with other activities she was good at.

Leia stole a glance at Luke.

The man sat on his chair elegantly. He was straight like a pine tree, and his silence was imposing.

However, his demeanor changed as he filled up Bianca's plate.

His penetrating gaze would turn gentle, and the corners of his lips would inadvertently curl up with an indulgent smile.

Leia's heart felt as though it had been clawed by a wildcat; bloody, itchy, and painful.

She lowered her gaze dejectedly.

Allison could not bear to see her son ignoring Leia.

Earlier, when Leia was confidently showing her knowledge about the painting, her impression of Leia became better. She did not know that what she said was wrong.

Allison placed a scallop in Leia's bowl and started praising her again. "See, that's a cultured overseas graduate for you. Leia is more knowledgeable than certain country bumpkins who have never seen the world. I'm sure that some people here don't know how to tell a genuine piece of art from a phony, let alone appreciate art! Don't you think so too, Father?"

Allison did not name any names, but she was glancing at Bianca disdainfully. Her mockery was evident.
