Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband-Chapter 1032 - 1030 Master Uland Comes to Support
Chapter 1032: Chapter 1030: Master Uland Comes to Support
Although the middle-aged man at the entrance looked older, his features indicated that he must have been quite handsome when he was young. His gentle demeanor immediately attracted attention, but no one noticed the anger hidden in his eyes.
Who is this man?
As the crowd wondered, Principal Hayek suddenly stood up, and Lance Steel’s face changed. The disdain that had just filled his face was quickly replaced with a trace of fear and flattery.
Joan Lentz was even more astonished, and all the artists and calligraphers in the field stood up, preparing to greet him.
Their attitude was enough to show that the identity of this middle-aged man was quite distinguished. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The students whispered, “Look, even the principal and those calligraphers are standing up to greet him. Who on earth is this guy?”
“Winifred, do you know him?”
Winifred stared for a moment, then suddenly trembled in excitement: “Mr. Page Uland is here!”
As everyone was about to ask who Page Uland was, Joan Lentz hurriedly greeted him with a mixture of respect and flattery: “Mr. Uland, you should have let us know you were coming, so we could have gone out to greet you.”
Principal Hayek and other school leaders greeted him as well, “Mr. Uland, hello, please take a seat!”
Someone in the crowd began to explain: “This Mr. Uland is a prominent figure in the art circle. Though he looks young, he became famous very early. He is skilled in music, painting, and calligraphy, and his status in the country is unmatched. If he is second, no one dares to claim they are first.”
“Moreover, he has represented our country in promoting traditional culture abroad and is known as an art ambassador. Look, even Mr. Lance Steel has to greet him, which proves his extraordinary status!”
“It’s said that the National Calligraphy and Painting Association wanted Mr. Page Uland to be its chairman before, but he is used to freedom and dislikes tedious affairs, so he declined. He never participates in these competitions, why on earth would he come today?”
Xaviera Evans listened to the crowd’s discussions and couldn’t help but feel surprised. It turned out her Master Uland was so famous!
Page Uland looked at Xaviera with a much gentler gaze, and she instantly understood why Master Uland said they would meet at Libanan University in the phone call. He came to support her!
After taking his seat, Page Uland’s attention fell on the two works on stage and casually asked, “Isn’t there supposed to be a competition? What happened?”
Joan Lentz quickly explained: “Mr. Uland, in this competition, a contestant cheated and stole Mr. Steel’s painting, then slandered him. So Mr. Steel asked me to send these two works for authentication.”
Lance Steel looked at Xaviera coldly, knowing that though Page Uland was gentle in temperament, he was very serious about art. He would never tolerate people who cheated, refused to admit it, and slandered their seniors like Xaviera.
If Page Uland criticized her publicly, Xaviera Evans would have no place in the entire art circle from then on, and she would even be ostracized in the designer industry.
Lance Steel was full of pride, suppressing his excitement and respectfully said, “Mr. Uland, Miss Evans is still young. It’s normal for her to be confused for a while. I didn’t want to pursue this, but she refused to apologize and even accused me of taking her work. I had no choice but to have the works authenticated.”
Principal Hayek frowned. He wasn’t afraid of Lance Steel and didn’t mind offending him. But now that Page Uland had arrived, if he also forced Xaviera to apologize, that would be troublesome.
At this moment, the audience felt that Xaviera was completely ruined, and Winifred Drew grinned smugly.
Lance Steel was beaming, waiting to see the humiliating expression on Xaviera’s face when she apologized to him. It would be quite satisfying.
At this moment, Page Uland clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of anger. He was truly furious!
Who did Lance Steel think he was? How dare he humiliate Xaviera, the girl he cherished like his own child? He couldn’t bear to scold her himself, let alone let Lance Steel falsely accuse her.
Xaviera was also useless, letting Lance Steel jump around in front of her for so long!
Page Uland looked around, suppressing his anger. In front of so many people, he should refrain from hitting anyone and maintain his gentle image.
Just as Lance Steel felt victorious, thinking the matter was settled, Page Uland suddenly asked, “Joan, are you sure Miss Evans stole Lance’s work? What evidence do you have?”
Lance Steel’s smile disappeared instantly. What other evidence was needed when he was standing here as the most powerful evidence!
