Chapter 595
Sensing her pain, Lex smirked in amusement. He relished this-watching his prey suffer, powerless to fight back.
In a flash, Sharon raised her free hand and swung it hard toward his face.
But Lex had anticipated the move. He caught her wrist mid-air with unsettling ease.
Sharon’s pupils contracted. Even if she had been slow to react before, she now understood-Lex wasn’t just anyone. He was clearly trained.
She tried to knee him in the groin, but they were standing too close-she had no space to maneuver. Before she could move her leg, he stepped down firmly on her foot with his leather shoe.
Sharon was just an ordinary woman. She couldn’t throw a punch to save her life. The gap between them, in strength and in skill, was undeniable. She was no match for him.
Lex watched her struggle with a mocking gleam in his eyes, like a cat toying with a trapped mouse.
“You want me to let go?” he drawled. “Beg me, and maybe I will.”
Sharon stared at him, and in that moment, he reminded her of Cole’s shameless friends-men who bullied the weak just to feel
powerful.
Back then, she had naively believed Cole was simply bad at judging people. But now she realized, birds of a feather flock together. Maybe those men had been sent by Cole himself to humiliate her, to crush her confidence.
No wonder Cole admired Lex. They were rotten to the core-the same mold.
Smiling sweetly, Sharon suddenly raised her voice, loud enough to echo across the venue.
“Help! This pervert is harassing me! Someone call security!”
Her shout was jarring in the elegant, refined atmosphere of the auction house. Heads turned instantly. People began walking
over.
Lex clearly hadn’t expected her to play this card. He froze, momentarily thrown off guard.
Before he could recover, a strong force shoved him to the side.
His grip loosened. Her foot was freed.
“Sharon, are you alright?”
The voice was clear and cool.
Sharon looked up and saw a familiar, sharply defined face.
“Thomas,” she murmured.
Thomas, who was usually all warmth and smiles, now wore a rare, shadowed expression. His gaze dropped to her wrist.
Around her slender, pale wrist, an angry red bruise had formed, glaring against her skin. It was unclear whether the damage would affect her ability to play the violin.
A flicker of cold, predatory light passed through Thomas’s eyes.
Sharon followed his gaze and saw the bruise herself Her expression darkened.
Anyone would be furious after suffering such an unprovoked assault. Especially when it involved her most precious asset-her
hand.

She wouldn’t let this go.
Her eyes darted to a flower vase on the windowsill. Without a second thought, she grabbed it and hurled it at Lex with all her strength.
As she did, she shouted again, louder this time, “Help! Some creep’s attacking me! Someone call 911! This pervert won’t back off!
”
Wendy hadn’t gone far and rushed back the moment she heard Sharon’s voice.
When she heard the word “pervert,” she didn’t hesitate. She grabbed a bronze ornament from the corridor and flung it straight
at Lex.
“You disgusting creep! How dare you touch Sharon! I’ll kill you!” 1
Lex had just dodged the vase when he sensed a gust of wind rushing toward the back of his head.
He instinctively turned. The bronze ornament missed him by a hair, slamming into the floor with a heavy, echoing thud.
If it had struck his skull, it would’ve cracked it open.
As he turned back, distracted, a splash of icy water hit him square in the face.
Water trickled down from his hairline, dripping over his cheeks and chin.
Lex looked up and saw Sharon standing before him, holding another water-filled vase. Her eyes were cold and unflinching.
A second later, she hurled that vase at him too.
