The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 979 A coincidence
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a white wall right in front of you, which serves as a partition and a screen, displaying the entire exhibition and attracting the attention of passers-by.

At this moment, hanging above is the familiar painting "City Night Shadow".

Customers gathered at the door in groups of three or four, looking around curiously. This was just an ordinary gallery, not a museum, so there were no glass partitions and they could appreciate the paintings clearly from a close distance.

People do the same thing.

One by one, they came forward, as if examining the paint and canvas with a magnifying glass, and then they chatted in whispers and exchanged opinions.

Anne Hathaway was not 100% sure. She vaguely felt that it seemed to be Michael's work, but the scene before her made her suspicious.

"Michael...?"

Annie called out.

Michael was completely dumbfounded. He looked at the painting in front of him, stammering and unable to speak.

Thomas came forward and glanced at the introduction on the lower right, then turned to Anne and nodded, "Sebastian Orsino, yes, that's him. You can tell it's his alias at a glance."

Shakespeare is a literary giant that Hathaway and his wife particularly like. Anne Hathaway's name comes from Shakespeare's wife.

Anne Hathaway. Exactly the same.

So it's no surprise that Michael used characters from Shakespeare's works as pseudonyms.

Michael explained, "That's because Anne is no longer an ordinary person, and I don't want others to look at me differently because of my last name."

Thomas silently complained, "Annie doesn't have any fame to cling to right now."

Michael ignored Thomas, "But, it wasn't originally here."

Anne, "What do you mean?"

Michael looked around. "It should have been in the second part of the exhibition, which belongs to the second stage of the entire exhibition. But how did it appear here?"

Obviously, things could not be explained and Michael had many questions.

Thomas noticed it, "Red dot. It seems that this painting has indeed been sold. Who knows, maybe it is the only painting that has been sold here, so they took it out to promote it, let me see it..."

Thomas pushed his way back into the crowd.

Michael was a little helpless, "Thomas."

They shouldn't disturb the crowd, Anne was still here, and Michael didn't want to be seen rushing to the gallery to confirm the paintings he had sold; but Thomas kept getting into the crowd.

"Anson Wood?" Thomas exclaimed.

Annie was startled and looked around quickly, "Where is it?"

Thomas turned around and called out, "Look, here, here."

Anne couldn't control her curiosity and an arrow squeezed forward.

Michael called out, "Annie!"

But she didn't dare to make a loud noise. She looked at the backs of Anne and Thomas with helplessness on her face. Finally, she went over with annoyance on her face and lowered her voice with a little reluctance, "Thomas, please restrain yourself."

Thomas completely ignored Michael and was chatting with someone nearby.

"... Don't you know? I thought half of New York knew about it. Anson appeared here this afternoon and caused a sensation."

"Yes, that's Anson Wood. Legend has it that he was seen on a date, but no one knows whether he was on a date or not. Anyway, he stayed here for a long time and bought a painting."

"Then one or two of them came to join in the fun, just to see what was going on."

"I think it's a date. The first thing Anson did when he got back from Europe was to come here. Not a date, or what?"

"Haha, you know this now? Maybe Anson has been in New York for several days. If he doesn't want you to find him, he has a way to become invisible. He appears here just because he wants you to find him. I think this is hype, deliberately linking Anson with art."

"Hehe, if you've seen through the trick, why are you still here?"

Chirping and noisy.

There was no need for Thomas to ask, they couldn't stop talking.

At this time, Anne and Michael also saw it - "Anson Wood".

A big name was there, and it seemed that Anson must have bought the painting.

The three Hathaway siblings looked at each other, with many thoughts in their heads at the moment.

Thomas, "Is it possible that he's an imposter?"

Michael：???

Someone nearby immediately complained, "TMZ has captured it, and he's using someone else's name to impersonate her."

Thomas said stubbornly, "TMZ could be wrong. They're not The Times." Having said that, Thomas knew the possibility was small. He then looked at Michael and Anne and said, "So, what's going on?"

Michael didn't know that the planner of this exhibition was Nora Wood. He was missing a crucial link and didn't understand why Anson was here.

Even if it's a date, it doesn't make sense to choose this deserted niche art exhibition.

Is it really a coincidence?
Michael subconsciously looked at his sister, "Annie, is it you?"

Anne was also a little dazed, with countless thoughts crowded into a ball, "No, I didn't..."

Thomas, "Is he pursuing you? Or are you dating?"

"Maybe he wanted to please you, so he bought Michael's painting out of love for you? Or maybe he wanted to apologize for missing the filming of the sequel in this way?"

"Wait, Michael, your painting won't be delivered to our house in two days, right? That would be embarrassing, I don't know where to hang it."

"Oh my God, while he was pursuing you, he actually brought another date to see Michael's art exhibition. What a jerk!"

Blah blah blah, I can't stop at all.

This guess was so outrageous that it brought Annie back to reality.

"He's not... He didn't..."

Anne just laughed.

"We're not dating and he wouldn't do something so stupid."

"I have never had anything to do with him about Michael. Besides, have you forgotten? The painting was not signed by Michael."

Thomas: "Ah..."

Suddenly I realized that one key point had cut off all possibilities.

Michael has calmed down, but still lacks some confidence——

You can't blame him. No one appreciated or affirmed him. He was always confused and groping. So when success really happened, he still couldn't believe it. He subconsciously began to doubt and became more uneasy.

Anne took a deep breath, "I didn't. I swear!"

“Michael, this matter is beyond my ability. Even if I face him, I dare not and will not make such a request. I have never said it.”

"In fact, I have as many question marks as you do now."

The three siblings looked at each other, unable to sort out their thoughts in a short period of time.

Thomas had an idea, "Annie, why don't you just ask him directly."

"We are so stupid. Why are we standing here guessing? We can just ask him directly. Why did he buy this painting? Did he know it was Michael's work?"

Anne looked at Michael.

Michael looked at Annie instead, "I don't mind my name being exposed, but what about you, do you mind?"

If the answer is yes, and Anson knows that the author of the painting is Michael, what does that mean? And how should Anne deal with it?

If the answer is no and Anson knows nothing about the whole thing, how should Anne deal with this issue? Should she thank Anson?

In what posture?
