Chapter 1027

• Kevin’s face darkened with barely restrained anger. His fingers curled into fists as he struggled to keep his composure. "You keep insisting that this piece is subpar. Then tell us—what, in your opinion, qualifies as a masterpiece?"
• His voice was sharp with frustration. "Liza, the truth is already out. If you're smart, you'll admit your mistake now and sincerely apologize to Mr. Zinny. If you do, there's still a chance for leniency. But if you continue with this charade, you’ll regret it once this matter spirals further out of control!"
