Chapter 55 - 55: Stunning TalentUpon arriving at the gallery, Isabella Weaver did not speak again; she found it impossible to communicate with him as he invariably steered the conversation towards marriage regardless of what she said.

    She was genuinely afraid of him.

    Harry Hunter also remained silent; he was naturally reticent.

    He actually found Isabella Weaver''s puffed-up demeanor quite adorable and hoped she would continue to be this cute.

    "I''ve arrived, Mr. Hunter, thank you for bringing me."

    Isabella expressed her gratitude and turned to enter the gallery, following the boss to the studio, oblivious that Harry Hunter also followed her inside.

    This gallery was large and fairly well-known, Harry Hunter had indeed visited twice before, but on his previous visits, he hadn''t paid much attention to Isabella Weaver''s paintings.

    He viewed them one by one, mostly glancing quickly, only stopping when he saw a particular landscape painting. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    The landscape painting seemed simple, yet capturing the soul in it was exceedingly difficult.

    There were quite a few similar landscape paintings in the gallery, but this one was noticeably different from the others.

    Layer upon layer of mountains, misty and swirling fog, gently flowing streams, embodying elegance mixed with grandeur; the artist clearly possessed profound skills, portraying everything with extraordinary ambiance.

    But what attracted Harry Hunter was not the mountains and water, but the silhouette in front of the mountains.

    A bright red off-road vehicle, strikingly vivid against the ink backdrop, with a young girl leaning against the car, backpack slung over her shoulders, long legs crossed, hair blowing, revealing a perfect side profile.

    Her vivacity, her car, all added unrivaled brilliance to the dark-themed ink painting.

    Such a perfect fusion of traditional ink scenery with the distinctly modern off-road vehicle and character was extremely rare!

    Harry Hunter felt a stir in his heart and looked down to see a small nameplate in front of the painting—Creator: Isabella.

    A flash of wonder gleamed in his dark eyes; the little girl''s talent in painting was astonishingly high!

    But why did she choose philosophy as her major instead of something related to painting or design?

    As Harry Hunter continued to admire the painting, someone beside him suddenly exclaimed, "What a great painting! Boss Palmer, who painted this? It''s so vibrant, I''ll buy it!"

    Harry Hunter turned unhappily to see a tall, sturdy man staring at the painting excitedly, calling to the gallery owner to wrap it up.

    Boss Palmer laughed heartily as he approached, "Boss Howard truly has an eye for art. This piece just went on display two days ago, and already dozens want to take it home, but they all complain the creator is an unknown novice, thinking my ten thousand asking price is too high."

    Boss Howard seemed indifferent, "Look at this composition, look at this concept, look at this bold palette, ten thousand, worth it! Those people have no foresight, with such skill and creativity, in less than ten years the artist will surely rise to fame. I''m investing early, I''ll make a fortune by then!"

    "Haha, great! I''ll definitely relay your words to her; she''ll be thrilled!"

    "The artist is a young girl?"

    "Yes, she''s still attending school, a university student, incredibly beautiful, just like her painting, filled with vibrant energy!"

    "Is she in the gallery now?"

    "Yes!"

    "Quickly bring her out; I want to have a good chat with her, buy her painting at a high price, and today she has to join us for a drink! Haha, I love young female students, so tender!"

    Harry Hunter was initially listening to the conversation between the two, feeling that this so-called Boss Howard seemed to deeply appreciate Isabella Weaver''s talent, so he remained silent, but he hadn''t expected that in buying the painting, there was another motive at play!
