A Vow of Deception, A Vow of Revenge novel Chapter 158

Jonah's expression froze for a second.

The young man noticed immediately, a look of regret flashing across his face. Maybe he shouldn't have asked that question.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rogers. I was out of line."

But Jonah quickly smiled again. "It's alright. There is such a painting, but I'm afraid I can't share what it depicts."

The young man nodded, eyes shining with curiosity.

A painting Jonah had kept hidden for years… He desperately wanted to see it!

As they spoke, a reporter happened to be standing nearby, catching every word.

That evening, a topic shot up the trending charts:

"What does Jonah's long-cherished painting look like?"

When that topic hit the news, Winona was having dinner with Elvis.

She'd chosen a quiet French bistro, the food light and delicate.

She used to crave spicy dishes—nothing was ever too hot. But now, with her stomach needing care, she couldn't touch anything spicy at all.

She thought of her days at Goodwin Enterprises after graduation. All that stress—such a waste.

But… Winona glanced at the man ladling soup into her bowl, a hint of a smile softening her eyes.

No matter how pointless those days were, they were over now.

She refused to stay trapped in regret and sorrow.

As for her health, her family had already brought in an experienced doctor to help her recover. She'd be well again soon.

Before she could reply, Veronica texted again: "Leave it to me. I'll find out."

"What are you planning?" Winona quickly typed back. "Don't do anything reckless."

"Relax!"

Winona checked the trending topic again.

Speculation was everywhere—everyone wanted to know what the painting showed. But neither Jonah nor his studio had issued any statement.

Suddenly, a new account with no profile picture, named "GO TO HELL," posted that old promotional poster, captioned: "Did everyone forget about this? Back then, tons of people guessed this was the woman Jonah liked. Maybe the painting he's hidden for years is of her, too?"

The account was brand new, but in no time, the post was gaining serious traction.

Clearly, someone had paid to promote it.
