Chapter 1026

• The entire hall fell silent, and a few moments passed before the crowd fully grasped the implications of Liza’s words. She wasn’t just defending herself—she was outright dismissing the accusation in the most ironic way possible. If the work in question was truly subpar, then it was absurd to claim it belonged to a renowned master like Zinny.
• Someone in the audience hesitantly voiced their thoughts. "Wait a minute... If Liza herself admits that her calligraphy is amateurish, then isn't it unlikely that she copied Mr. Zinny? His works are flawless. Why would she steal something she considers low-quality?"
• Murmurs spread through the room as more people turned their attention to Zinny. The doubt was beginning to take root.
