Regardless of what Bender had tried to do, the portrait was strangely taken out of his hands and immediately placed back onto the wall. There was no sign of the unseen force behind this... but it can be assumed that the maid, Shannon, had something to do with it.

"I'm... I'm sorry, I can't allow that to happen to my Mistress's portrait. B-But... since you are all the guests that my Mistress had been awaiting for a long time, I'll recite the message of the letter she wished to show you..." Shannon said, and then reciting the very letter that Light had taken from her... word for word. There was no error, it was eerily the same message. Seeing the uncertainty in this group of guests, the maid decided to offer,"Oh... I believe all of you are questioning how you all got here... my Mistress knows ways... but if you like, I can bring you all to her..." It was basically the group's choice to take the maid's offer, but something about it didn't seem right at all...
