CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32: SHE WANTS TO RUIN THE ART MUSEUM AND AUDREY!

In the following two days, Sienna Monroe didn’t receive a call from the lady of the house. Though she felt a little regretful, she wasn’t heartbroken.

Rhonda Garrison’s disbelief in her was understandable.

The day before the 6th, she and the management of the art museum inspected the four exhibition areas and the storage room thoroughly.

Early that morning, she arrived at the museum and held a meeting on the second floor for all the staff.

This exhibition period lasted seven days.

The first day’s traffic would be large because Audrey would be present only then, and journalists and media would attend, along with another authoritative art teacher, Tina Sutton.

This teacher had a bit of a mentor-student relationship with Audrey. Tina Sutton had publicly stated she’d like to take Audrey as an apprentice and appreciated her painting style.

It was Sienna Monroe’s first time independently managing such a major art exhibition, so she felt both nervous and excited, her nerves taut, not daring to relax for even a moment.

Afraid something might go wrong.

The primary concern was safety.

She didn’t linger for long; after advising on a few precautions, she let everyone disperse and get to their tasks.

The exhibition started at nine thirty, and Audrey arrived at the museum at eight thirty.

Today she wore a black long dress, with a red coat outside. She looked radiant, sophisticated, elegant, yet not losing any charm.

"Wow, who is this gorgeous lady?"

Audrey raised her eyebrows, "Did you have breakfast?"

Sienna nodded, "I did. I’m sure you didn’t."

Audrey wasn’t one for breakfast; usually, she just had a cup of coffee in the morning.

Audrey laughed and looked around, "How’s it going? Smoothly?"

"Smoothly, I’ll call the journalists and media to see when they’ll arrive."

Since arriving at the museum, she basically hadn’t stopped.

Today was bound to be exhausting.

After making four or five calls and confirming everything, she asked, "When will Teacher Sutton arrive?"

"About ten o’clock. She arrived in Imperial City yesterday. I offered her to stay at my place, but she insisted on staying at a hotel."

"Do we need to pick her up?"

"No need, she’s in good shape, has an assistant with her, and her daughter is here too."

Sienna nodded. Just as she was about to relax with a sip of water, her phone on the table chimed with a message alert.

She paused, picked up the phone, and opened the message: [Danger! The screws of the acrylic panel in the third row of Area C have been loosened by Vivian Nash. It will fall at ten twenty-seven and injure Teacher Sutton, who will end up in the ICU. This incident will be captured by on-site journalists and will top the hot searches, completely ruining the prospects of Serena Art Museum and Audrey!]

Bam!

The cup fell to the ground.

In an instant, a chilling sensation shot up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

She staggered, leaning weakly against the edge of the table.

Completely ruined!

Vivian Nash wants to destroy the museum and Audrey!

"Sienna, what’s wrong?"

Audrey, sitting on the sofa, was startled by the sudden fall of the cup. She thought Sienna had accidentally dropped it, but seeing Sienna’s lost and shocked expression, she immediately realized something was wrong. She hurried over to help her out of the glass shards.

Preventing her from getting injured.

"What’s wrong? Sienna, don’t panic, I’m here." Audrey quickly reassured her.

Slowly, Sienna’s thoughts returned to her, seeing the sincerity and concern in Audrey’s eyes. She moved her lips but couldn’t make a sound.

To her, Audrey was like an elder sister.

And the Serena Art Museum was even more significant to her; her mother had founded it with her own hands, pouring countless efforts by Leah Hughes into it, along with all her hopes and expectations.

She absolutely wouldn’t allow Vivian Nash to destroy them!

Absolutely not!

She walked out of the office, took the elevator to the first floor’s C exhibition hall, with Audrey following behind, asking twice what happened, but Sienna didn’t speak.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, leaving her unable to speak and even making it hard to breathe.

The paintings in Area C were mostly acrylic panels, creating an absolute sense of space with lighting effects.

It was also the most fitting exhibition area for Audrey Sinclair’s style.

There were 12 large acrylic panels in the entire exhibition area, with a total of 28 paintings on them. Some were double-sided projections, and smaller pieces were composed into a sense of artistic flair totaling 42 pieces.

Anyone who entered would be stunned by the design inside.

The museum had two curatorial teams, each with five people.

Area C was under the responsibility of Group B, not Vivian’s Group A.

But they had checked everything before leaving last night, and with cameras all around, it was perplexing how Vivian had tampered with anything.

With the exhibition starting soon, she didn’t have the energy to ponder about it; she only needed to find the panel with loosened screws quickly.

Third row...

The acrylic panels here were irregular, with several third rows, necessitating a careful inspection of each.

"Director."

Seeing her come over, the staff quickly nodded.

Sienna ignored them, continuing her search.

Those around exchanged puzzled glances, their eyes full of confusion and incomprehension.

Vivian Nash hurried over from afar. Heart skipping a beat, a flash of guilt and panic crossed her face. She quickly took hold of Sienna’s arm, "Sienna, there’s a lighting issue over in Area B, could you take a look?"

Sienna frowned, her anger long since consumed her reason to ashes. Her cold and piercing gaze pointed directly at Vivian Nash unabashedly.

Her voice, usually gentle and soft, now resembled the icy frost of December, "Go find a technician if there’s a problem! Step aside!"
