Chapter 158: Onyx never anticipated that their request was not just to have him sketch on the spot, but a carefully orchestrated trap, meticulously set to expose him.

His face turned ghostly pale.

The crowd quickly caught on, and their murmurs escalated into a chaotic uproar.

Look! That sketch the young man is holding its identical to the one Onyx just created.

No ones seen it before; only the original artist could know those details.

Its obvious whose skill is true to the original.

Compared to that, Onyxs work is pathetic.

Its disgusting! How does he even have the nerve to stand here? Moments ago, he was bragging about how he was slandered! The accusations flew fast now, one after another.

Stevens, were you aware of this? Didnt you just say, as CEO of Stevens Group, you personally vouched for him? And Mrs.

Stevens has publicly stated that Onyx isnt great at drawing in front of too many people.

Desperate to distance himself, he attempted to disown the disaster.

Our company was misled as well.
