But his eyes were a gray haze, filled with endless sadness.
They had a deadly aura, intimidating even without anger
In a cool, clear voice, he asked, “Elliott?”
Vivi nodded.
Zack was surprised. “Elliott’s starting an art class?”
Nolan responded, “He announced it today. He wants to take on an apprentice. Vivi has always loved painting, but my parents aren’t very supportive.”
So, they came to Julius for help.
Zack frowned. Why is Elliott suddenly starting an art class?”
Elliott hadn’t hold an art class in four years.
Even if someone spent a fortune, he wouldn’t meet them.
Now that he was suddenly starting a class, it surprised everyone.

eople even flew in from far away.
Everyone wanted to win his favor at his birthday party, hoping to become his apprentice,
For a while, Janivelle was bustling with activity.

Wintna saw her and was taken aback. “Quiana?”
She thought, ‘How could sise possibly be here?”
Qulana looked up, raised an eyebrow, and gave a sly smile. “What a coincidence”
Carole’s face darkened. “Who let you in?”
Qulana looked down and continued her drawing. “Eke it, so came”
Her tone was casual yet arrogant.
Carole had been there in the moming and saw Elliott painting in the gazebo, which he hadn’t finished. She marched over and snatched the brush from Quiana’s hand. “You’ve got some nerve messing with my grandpa’s things.”
The ink smeared across the paper, turning the drawing into a mess.
Quiana frowned a little.
Winona’s eyes flickered. “Quiana, are you here to ask Mr. Wilson to take you as his student too?”
“Why would my grandpa ever accept someone like her as a student?” Carole sneered. “Not in this lifetime or the next.”
Winona chuckled softly. “What if Quiana is good at painting?”
“A wild girl from the slums, does she even deserve it?” Carole sneered with disgust. “Qulana, I don’t care how you got in, just get out of here right now.
