Chapter 474
The woman thought for a while and looked at Damian, "How can you prove what you said is true?" These days, she had made a lot of money by selling Rosentti's drawings to the Horton Family. However, people were always greedy. If someone offered a higher price, she was okay with changing partners.
Damian took out a blank check, "As long as you make my boss satisfy, you can fill it out.”
The woman's eyes lit up, "Then what are you waiting for? I'll go see him now."
"No, my boss wants to see the young lady."
The woman glanced at Rosentti, who was staring blankly at the drawing paper again. She thought for a while and nodded.
With the help of the paid staff, Damian took them out through the back door. Then they went straight to the Xavier Group.
On the way, he looked at the girl from time to time.
The young girl, wearing a black Lolita dress, was as delicate as a porcelain doll. On the way, she did not say a word, nor did she look out the window. She just looked ahead.
He felt weird.
Damian looked away and kept his eyes on the road
Soon, they arrived at the Xavier Group.
Damian took them to the top floor, where Derek had been waiting.
"Boss, they're here.”
Derek heard and frowned, "Come in."
Damian led them into the office. Derek ignored the middle-aged woman, who seemed money- obsessed, and looked at the girl Meredith mentioned.
Her appearance was impeccable. But her expression and posture were strange.
Seeing Derek sizing up her niece, the middle-aged woman, who had just been overwhelmed by the luxury of this place, stepped forward and said eagerly, "This is my niece. Don't be misled by her appearance. She is a genius in design.”
"Oh? So, what's wrong with her?"
"Her parents died when she was a girl. As her aunt, I brought her up through hard work. She has never said a word till now. Every day, she is drawing in front of the drawing board. Not long ago, I realized how awesome her paintings were. Sir, if you give us a chance, we won't let you down.” Hearing what she said, Rosentti still didn't say anything. But a trace of anger flashed her face, which was seen by Derek.
He knew what was going on.
I'm afraid this young girl had autism since she was a little girl. But she had outstanding talent. She couldn't speak, which made her focus on designing. Thus, she was so talented.
So, what Tina drew was probably stolen from her.
"What price did the Horton Family quote you?"
After listening to what the woman said, Derek suddenly asked.
“Just.”
The woman suddenly thought of something.
She had signed a confidentiality agreement when she made deal with the Horton Family. She would never say anything about the ghostwriter. But when Derek asked, she answered subconsciously. Her back was sweating with cold sweat, "No, I don't know the Horton Family."
"Now, do you expect me to believe you?"
Looking at her guilty face, Derek had a good guess, "All you can do now is cooperate with me. Just think about it. Now you're on my turf, what will happen if you don't coorperate.”
The middle-aged woman heard this, "You don't make a deal. You threaten me."
As she spoke, she pulled Rosentti and wanted to go. This man seemed not provokable.
Derek did not stop her. He said, "Miss, don't you want to take back what others have taken from you?"
Rosentti, who was expressionless, looked at Derek, seemingly wondering something.
Then she broke free of the woman's hand and walked up to Derek, staring at him.
"Rosentti, what's wrong with you? If you go back on your word, our whole family is doomed. The middle-aged woman screamed. She knew that if the Horton Family knew about her betrayal when she returned home, she would be tortured. So, she went up and dragged Rosentti to leave. "Damian, take her out to calm down."
Derek gave the order coldly. Soon only they were in the office.
"I don't know what happened at the time. But your drawings were stolen and they hurt my lover. So, I want the person behind all this to pay the price. Do you want to cooperate with me?"
Derek said slowly. Rosentti lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. Then she nodded slowly.
"Well, you can stay here. I'll let you know after I arrange the whole thing.”
After that, Derek asked someone to arrange a safe place for Rosentti.
On the other hand, Damian scared the women with threats. In the end, she let everything out.
As she said, Rosentti had been adopted by her since she was a child. But she couldn't speak since she was a little girl. She had autism.
She knew something was wrong, but she didn't want to spend too much money on her treatment because Rosentti's illness was not serious. She was usually quiet and drawing. So no one cared. Then someone from the Horton Family saw one of her pictures. She then realized how valuable those paintings were.
The Horton Family bought all of Rosentti's works by several ten thousand. They promised that as long as she continued to paint, she would live a comfortable life.
The woman who had never seen so much money naturally agreed. Their trip to H Country was arranged by the Horton Family.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong.
After Damian reported the whole thing, Derek almost understood what was going on.
It seemed that Tina had taken hundreds of Rosentti's works. No wonder she was so confident. After all, even if made out questions on the spot, with so many works, she could come through. Moreover, considering Meredith and Tina were from different countries at that time, the host's questions were neutral. That was to say, they could draw everything.
It seemed that she had a question bank with answers. Then she chose the questions randomly. No matter what questions she chose, she had known the answers.
"Inform the reporters, we will hold the press conference tomorrow.”
Derek threw the pen aside, "Since they had the guts to plot against Meredith, they must be punished.”
