Chapter 91 A Familiar Stranger

Did he find the painting was a forgery?

It didn't make sense. Abraham had mentioned that the bearded man was an expert forger. Unless Asher sought professional help, the plan would work.

And even if it did get exposed, it shouldn't have happened so quickly.

Could Kenley have had it validated?

When Elianna answered the call, she remained composed. "This is Elianna."

"Where are you?" came the harsh questioning from the other end of the line.

Elianna held the phone slightly away from her ear. "Why don't you just tell me what's going on?"

Initially, Asher had called with the intention of giving Elianna a chance to apologize. However, her indifferent attitude once again stirred his anger.

He asked angrily, "Sophia is back! Grandpa wants everyone to return to the Larsen mansion! Hurry up!"

Elianna had also heard about Sophia.

She was truly adored by everyone. From the grandparents to the aunts and uncles in the Larsen family, they all held her in high regard.

By the way, she was the only one in the Larsen family who had a relatively closer relationship with Jefferson.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

...

As soon as Elianna entered the mansion, she heard a burst of hearty laughter.

It wasn't the restrained laughter of perfect ladies, but rather a contagious, unrestrained laughter that lifted everyone's spirits.

By the time Elianna arrived, the main hall was already filled with people, and at the center sat Sophia, dressed in a stunning red French gown.

When Sophia spotted Elianna, she stood up and warmly embraced her. "So, you're Elianna, Asher's fiancée. Finally, we meet!"

"I missed your engagement party when you and Asher got engaged. Such a pity!" she said with a regretful expression on her beautiful face.

Her bright and spirited eyes made it hard not to feel fondness for her.

Elianna was relieved and replied, "Then you cannot miss our wedding banquet."

Sophia smiled again, "What a lovely comfort! Asher insisted that the wine would be nothing special. It really made me furious."

Everyone was amused by her pretended anger, and Elianna couldn't help but join in.

Sophia tilted her head, her gaze now filled with both seriousness and confusion.

"But there's something about you that feels strangely familiar..."

The smile froze on Elianna's face.

As she contemplated how to respond, Kenley, who had been completely ignored in the corner, finally spoke up.

"Sophia, you studied at the prestigious Anglien Royal College of Music, while Elianna attended a girls' school. How could you possibly know each other?"

The mere mention of the music academy sent Elianna into a sudden state of shock.

Her gaze dropped, deliberately avoiding Sophia's probing eyes.

"Maybe we met at a previous banquet," she muttered.

Sophia simply nodded with a smile, "Ah, that must be it. It seems that we are destined family."

Her smile appeared warm and affectionate, but a hidden scrutiny buried deep within her gaze.

Sensing the tension, Elianna was about to offer an explanation.

Suddenly, Sophia's attention abruptly shifted.

She exclaimed, "Jeff!"

With a forceful tug, Elianna found herself spun around, now face to face with Jefferson, who had just entered the room.
