Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 156: Onyxs brows furrowed in frustration.

Where had this bold, unsophisticated young man come from, and how dared he challenge him so openly? Narrowing his eyes, Onyx leaned toward the security guard and whispered, Why havent you removed the troublemaker yet? Before the security guard could react, the media, acting on Allisons unseen instructions, surged past the barriers.

Cameras flashed, and microphones were thrust into Onyxs face.

Many of your fans came to this signing hoping to see you draw live.

Surely, you wont mind showcasing your talent to silence these doubters.

The crowd, now fully energized, began cheering.

Even the fans seemed eager to witness the artist prove his worth.

Yeah, Onyx! Show those haters what youre made of! Draw something and end this! Garry, usually shy and far more comfortable blending into the background, felt a wave of anxiety sweep over him as the crowds excitement built.

It demanded relentless practice a truth Onyx clearly hadnt embraced.

Garry had noticed the absence of calluses on Onyxs hands; they hadnt spent years honing their craft.

The sheer injustice of it gnawed at him.
