Rebecca turned around and saw it was Daniel. She spoke softly, "Everyone at this cocktail party tonight seems to be from a mere distinguished background than me, so I thought I shouldn't bother you, Daniel.”
How considerate of Rebecca! Daniel couldn't help but admire her inwardly. Unfortunately, Sherman always failed to see it Just then, a portly man approached, cradling a lavish velvet box, eager to show his attentiveness.
"Mr. Robinson, I recently acquired this set of vintage writing tools at an auction. They were said to be left behind by a master craftsman. I know your grandfather was a man of letters, and he surely would appreciate these. Please, accept this humble gift."
Daniel's gaze fell on the velvet box, pondering for a moment. He motioned for his assistant to take the box, then turned to Rebecca, "Rebecca, I've heard you have quite the talent for calligraphy, and your ancestors were renowned for their skill. Why don't you give these masterpieces a try and see how they fare?"
It was an invitation for Rebecca to showcase her calligraphy in front of everyone. They say handwriting reflects the person. One's handwriting speaks volumes about their character and upbringing
Perfect timing, since Sherman had a soft spot for calligraphy. Perhaps, this could pique Sherman's interest in Rebecca. At Daniel's suggestion, the crowd began to murmur, intrigued to see if Rebecca's handwriting was as impressive as rumored.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Rebecca, of course, was more than willing to put on a calligraphy show for the audience. Even though her "system" hadn't been upgraded to level 10 vet, displaying her calligraphy skills was well within her capabilities. With the "system" at her disposal, she was a calligraphy master.
"I'l give it a try, then!"
Daniel had someone set up the vintage writing tools. Rebecca stepped forward, picked up a pen, and began to write on a piece of hanging parchment.
Everyone watched intently. With confidence, Rebecca penned two lines: "Embracing all rivers, Rebecca stands tall!”
The writing was fluid and elegant, an absolute delight to behold
"Beautifully done!"
"The Morris family truly has a legacy!”
The audience sincerely complimented her work. Rebecca humbly responded, "It was nothing special, thank you for your kindness.”
Gloria suddenly said, "If Becca can write so beautifully, then Ms. Yeager, who grew up in the Morris household, must be even more skilled, right?” Anthea, that little troublemaker, had caused her so much distress! Now, she wouldn't miss this opportunity to see Anthea embarrassed.
Following her cue, Rebecca said, "I'm sure Anthea is quite talented as well."
Gloria suggested, "Why don't we have Ms. Yeager come up and see who's more skilled between her and Becca?"
At this, all gyes turned to Anthea, -. who wag enjoying some cupcakes. Caught off guard, Anthea frow ned slightly. Who could focus onwriting when there were sweets ta ‘be had?
"My handwriting isn't great; I'd rather not embarrass myself."
Hearing this, everyone seemed to understand-Anthea was just not up to the mark: She couldnteven > recognize-all the letters, how cauld she kow calligraphy? No wonder shewas afraid to compete with Rebeccal =
It just shows, what's fake can never be real! Even if she's become prettier, she's not fit for the spotlight.
Rebecca, always understanding, -. defended-Anthea, "Although Anthea Es wp in our home, she isn't of Mortis blood, so it's understandable if her handwriting isn't perfect.”
Anthea raised an eyebrow, setting down her dessert, "Since everyone's sc eager to see, I wouldn't want to spoil the fun."
