Chapter 284: Posthumous Works (3)
The posthumous exhibition would run for a total of half a month.
Since all of the guests invited on the first day were prominent figures, the exhibition would not be open to the public in order to avoid causing a commotion. Only invited guests were allowed to attend on opening day, while the general public would be admitted starting on the second day.
Even so, the area around the gallery was packed with cars on the first day of the exhibition. Crowds of curious onlookers had gathered, along with reporters carrying cameras and long telephoto lenses.
When Everly arrived at the entrance, a swarm of unscrupulous reporters had surrounded a mother and son dressed in black, noisily bombarding them with pointed, provocative questions.
Everly recognized the exhausted-looking woman at a glance—she was Sophia, Shelly’s second wife. That meant the blond, blue-eyed little boy beside her was, in all likelihood, Everly’s half-brother, Thomas.
Out of curiosity, she took a second look.
Sure enough, Thomas’s facial features bore quite a resemblance to Shelly’s. As long as he didn’t grow up awkwardly, he would probably become quite a handsome young man.
Looking at it that way, fate hadn’t treated Shelly too poorly after all.
Sophia and Thomas had often accompanied Shelly to public events, making them highly recognizable. By comparison, Everly—the daughter from his first marriage—was practically a mystery to the public.
