    Looking at Elena's troubled expression, Luke rubbed her head: "I'll just follow your arrangements. Anyway, I skipped work today."

    Elena laughed happily and pushed her head on his chest before moving away to talk to Margaret.

    The call ended and she gave an address.

    With a strange look on his face, Luke got into the car with her and set off, arriving in front of a building more than ten minutes later.

    Taking the elevator up to the 32nd floor, Luke looked at a relatively familiar standing sign. His heart was unmoved, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

    "Despair" - Monroe-Peterson Exhibition.

    The tall blonde Margaret was standing next to the sign, wearing a simple and elegant white dress.

    Seeing Luke and Elena, a bright smile appeared on her beautiful face, as pure as a hundred-pound child.

    Well, this person¡¯s simplicity of mind is better than that of most American middle school students.

    The two women smiled and kissed each other, and Luke also benefited from Elena's favor and received the same treatment.

    Smiling a little apologetically at Luke, Elena was pulled away by Margaret.

    A certain innocent little widow has been talking endlessly about the paintings in this art exhibition that are worth seeing, and professional terms are popping up one after another.

    Luke smiled and told Elena, who was still turning her head to look, that she was free, and so was he.

    She was petite and was pulled into the depths of the exhibition hall by the tall Margaret - where the most important works were located.

    Luke is not interested in the paintings here.

    ¡°If it¡¯s some kind of classical realism school¡­well, he actually doesn¡¯t bother to understand, and he doesn¡¯t know the difference between these schools.

    Even the ¡°Abstract Expressionism¡± that Munro¡¯s works belong to can be seen from the cover of the exhibition¡¯s brochure.

    He just walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at New York City, intending to be alone.

    The sound of a series of high-heeled shoes came from far away, and stopped not far behind him. A young female voice said: "Detective Coulson?"

    Luke turned his head, with a formulaic smile on his face: "Hello, Miss Soderbergh."

    The person who said hello was Lindsay.

    She stretched out her hand with a sincere smile: "Just call me Lindsay. Also, thank you for helping me and Monroe."

    Luke shook hands with her: "Then please call me Luke. Besides, that's just my job."

    Lindsay let go of her hand and extended her hand to signal: "Can I talk to you alone?"

    Luke looked over there. Margaret and Elena were standing in front of a painting in the distance, mumbling, very involved.

    Lindsay also looked over there and smiled: "Margaret and I are friends. She said just now that a companion is here, and I didn't expect it to be you."

    Luke chuckled: "I didn't expect you to still be here."

    Lindsay sighed: "So I want to talk to you."

    Luke raised his eyebrows and said nothing, just nodded, and the two of them walked towards the rest area in the corner.

    After sitting down, Lindsay asked the staff to bring two cups of coffee, took a sip, adjusted her emotions, and then said: "Although I just said it, I still want to thank you again. Luke, thank you  Everything you did for me and for Monroe."

    Luke was no longer polite this time, but nodded slightly, pretending to be attentive.

    People must ask for something according to etiquette.

    Lindsay specially brought him here to talk, presumably not just to thank him.

    Lindsay didn¡¯t hesitate and went straight to the point, telling the story of her family¡¯s dispute with Monroe.

    After listening for a moment, Luke looked slightly strange.

    With almost a human lie detector, he confirmed that Lindsay's words were basically true, and she did not lie about the key things.

    If he didn't have this ability, he might regard this incident as a Rashomon incident.

    Now he can only speculate that this is just a typical case of communication failure within the family.

    Lindsay and Monroe are not boyfriend and girlfriend, she just admires Monroe's works.

    She was young but not as sophisticated as her father Jeffrey. On a whim, she changed from "chasing paintings" to "pushing people" and became an investor in Monroe, which can also be said to be a speculator.

    She invested her own money to promote Munro's works and increase his popularity. To a large extent, she wanted to get rich returns from Munro, not because of love.

    In fact, once the paintings on display are sold by Munro, 50% of the proceeds belong to her.And in this process, the author Monroe only has the right to make suggestions and has no decision-making power.

    It is up to Lindsay to decide who to sell his works to and how much to sell them for.

    Such a contract is not difficult for Monroe to accept.

    Munro is a typical artist.

    He doesn¡¯t care about money at all, what he needs now is the approval of others.

    ¡°Perhaps after gaining widespread recognition, he doesn¡¯t even need the approval of others.

    Without Lindsay¡¯s help in investment and promotion, he would not be able to show his works to the world, and there would be no point in having more paintings.

    If Lindsay was not too immature and truly appreciated his work, then if Monroe was given a contract that opened on September 1st, he would still sign it without even looking at it.

    This is just a typical way of cooperation between the second generation of rich people and artists.

    If Monroe becomes a big success in the future, this incident will still be passed down as a good story.

    But after several of Aurora¡¯s ¡°rivals¡± noble ladies mocked her behind her back, things went uncontrollably and went the wrong way.

    After Aurora investigated Monroe's resume, she persuaded her daughter to give up her plan to hype Monroe, but she already suspected that there was something wrong with her daughter and Monroe.

    Munro, who is in his thirties, is too young for a painter, and being young means that the rest of his life may be very long.

    As we all know, works become more valuable after a painter dies.

    This plan sounds like a money-loser.

    Lindsay, who has been outstanding since she was a child, and became even more calm, rational and intelligent when she grew up, suddenly began to use her private money to pay for a painter and said that she just liked his works. Of course Aurora didn't believe it.

    This wrong start led to even more wrong developments, and then turned into a family war.

    It wasn¡¯t until Luke appeared that he pulled both sides out of the corner.

    Is this result magical?  Not magical at all.

    He just used a little basic pheromone control and did a little experiment with his own abilities. By the way, the two of them would recall each other's goodness when they quarreled.

    ??Settling troubles, experimental ability, killing two birds with one stone.

    But the mother and daughter, who were originally very emotional, no longer had endless quarrels. The two sides quickly reached a consensus and each took a step back.

    As long as Lindsay is no longer as "brainy" as before, this will only be a small episode in her growth.

    Today, she is here to arrange the finishing work and put an end to this matter.

    Having just heard Luke¡¯s name from Margaret¡¯s mouth, Lindsay was moved in her heart and took the initiative to say hello.

    She didn¡¯t know why, but when no one mentioned Luke before, she rarely thought of this young police detective with a peaceful temperament.

    But when she heard his name, she immediately wanted to come over to see him and say thank you.

    And as soon as she started talking to him, she couldn't help but reveal all the secrets in her heart that she couldn't tell her friends and relatives.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
