With a single sentence, the entire studio erupted. Many had swayed by Tiffany's confident assertion, almost believing her, but the truth's swift revelation shattered their trust. Disdain filled their gazes. "How shameless! You're claiming another's work," a young man accused. A girl added, "Your acting was convincing, but the outcome is a slap in the face. I was naive to trust you!" Another girl mocked, "The truth's out. Aren't you ashamed to stay? Why make a fool of yourself?" The studio's scorn threatened to overwhelm Tiffany. Zoe silently supported her, while Philip felt regret. Just as he was about to return the painting, Tiffany met his gaze and calmly asked, "Who says I signed it? Mr. Fremont, examine it closely. Perhaps there's something special." Reluctantly, Philip examined the painting, discovering subtly concealed letters spelling "Tiff." Stunned, he asked her name. "Tiffany Kelley," she replied, spreading her hands. "There's 'Tiff' there, right?" Philip confirmed it, leaving the studio dumbfounded, especially Sandra. The question about Tiffany's name triggered alarms for Sandra; the confirmation left her ashen. She hadn't anticipated Tiffany's trap. Trembling, Sandra forced a smile, claiming it was a coincidence, but Philip retorted, "Do you think I'm an idiot?" Sandra's desperate denials only worsened the situation. Tiffany calmly produced a USB drive, revealing hidden camera footage of Sandra stealing the painting. The video, showing Sandra's theft, left her speechless. The students' disgust was palpable. Philip, disappointed, expelled Sandra. Sandra, defeated, fled in tears. The studio fell silent. Tiffany asked to retrieve her painting. Philip, impressed, offered her a place in his class, despite the initial rules. The students were shocked by Tiffany's talent and Philip's offer, but Tiffany declined, preferring to keep painting a hobby. This further surprised everyone, highlighting her unusual attitude and talent. Philip, however, still wanted to submit her painting to the international competition. Tiffany agreed, curious about the outcome, given the painting's changed context. The theft scandal destroyed Sandra's reputation. Tiffany, having resolved the matter, moved on.
