"Okay, I'll get straight to the point," Collin said. "Even if you get to see Ms. Unity's paintings every day, it's hard to call out Jonathan's painting as a fake in such a short time. I mean, just being close to the Moreno family can't explain how you spotted it so fast," Collin said.
Collin didn't speak without a reason. Jonathan, after all, had spent several billion dollars to buy the painting. He must have studied it for a long time and truly believed it was a genuine work Ms. Unity personally painted, which was why he had spent such an enormous sum to acquire it.
But at the exhibition just now, from the moment Jonathan brought out the painting to the moment Kaia identified it as a fake, the whole process took less than a minute.
"Therefore, I guess you must be very familiar with Ms. Unity's paintings. You — do you happen to know Ms.Unity personally?" Collin blurted out.
Kaia gently raised her delicate brows. She didn't expect Collin's reasoning to be so sharp. With just a few words, he managed to analyze the situation to such a degree.
"Sort of, yeah," Kaia answered casually.
Collin's eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement. "Miss Bennett, I have an impertinent request. I've always admired Ms. Unity — could you perhaps recommend me to her? I'd like to be her apprentice!" he said.
Kaia was momentarily stunned and said hesitantly, "Um… I'm afraid..."
Afraid that Kaia might turn him down, Collin quickly added, "Actually, I once had the honor of meeting Ms. Unity in person."
"You've met me— ahem— her?" Kaia almost let the truth slip out.
Collin was still caught up in his excitement and didn't notice the slip in Kaia's response. Overwhelmed, he kept talking excitedly, "Ms. Unity appeared in public only once — that was seventeen years ago, at an auction.
"She was only three years old at the time. I happened to be sitting right next to her, but back then, I had no idea she was Ms. Unity. I thought she was just some family's little girl.
"I later noticed this three-year-old wandering off on her own, not an adult in sight. She was about the same age as my granddaughter, and I started worrying if something would happen to her out there alone. I couldn't help myself; I quietly followed her just to keep an eye on things."
"After that, I indeed saw two shady-looking thugs following her, clearly intending to kidnap her. So I ordered my bodyguards to subdue the two villains.
"Although the villains had been subdued, I still wasn't at ease, so I kept following her and saw that she went to a stall selling lollipops. The old man selling them refused to sell to her because she was just a child, so I stepped in and bought them for her."
Hearing this, Kaia looked at Collin, feeling surprised. She could vaguely remember someone buying her lollipops, but it had never crossed her mind that Collin was the one who had quietly dealt with those villains, keeping her out of danger.
Although by that time she had already been learning martial arts, she was still too young to protect herself from hidden threats. 'If Collin hadn't secretly handled these matters for me, I might have been harmed,' she thought.
Collin continued to recount warmly and thoughtfully, "When the auction began, I returned to the scene with Ms. Unity. In the end, I learned that the painting, which was sold for a sky-high price, was actually painted by that three-year-old child.
"I was utterly shocked then and wanted so much to be her apprentice. But alas, after the auction, I could no longer find her." Collin drew a deep, regretful sigh, disappointment still lingering in his voice.
"But—" Colloin's tone changed, his eyes full of hope as he looked at Kaia and said, "Today, I learned that you know Ms. Unity. This means I have a chance to meet Ms. Unity again. Perhaps I really do have the chance of becoming her apprentice."
