Nate glanced in Lex’s direction. “Where did he go? The auction’s already started, and he still hasn’t come back?”

Julliard recalled the water soaking Lex from head to toe. “He probably went to change his clothes.”

“What?” Nate’s eyes widened. “He molests someone, and he has time to change clothes? Don’t tell me…”

Something seemed to flash through Nate’s mind, and his expression twisted into one of profound discomfort.

“Don’t tell me he got his pants dirty? Damn! I always thought he was a suave, refined type. Who knew he could be that sleazy? Ugh, I can’t unsee it now!

“You said earlier that even after getting hit, he didn’t leave, and even told the girl to ‘remember him… Shit, do you think he’s into that? Like, a full-blown masochist?”

Nate’s words grew more and more outrageous by the second.

The people seated nearby had begun to listen in. Hearing Nate speak as though he’d witnessed everything firsthand, they turned to look, clearly intrigued.

A few couldn’t help but start whispering among themselves.

“So Lex’s really that kind of person? Ugh, that’s disgusting.”

“My friend’s daughter has a huge crush on him. No way, I have to tell her. She can’t go falling into a pit like that.”

“In a public event like this? Doing that? Isn’t that a little much?”

“What do you know? That’s what makes it exciting for some people!”

By the time Lex returned to the auction hall in fresh clothes, a strange shift had rippled through the crowd.

People who had been mid-bid abruptly went silent the moment they noticed him.

A heavy pause hung in the air.

Lex frowned, unaware of what had happened in his absence. But he was no stranger to attention and had long grown accustomed to being under the spotlight.

Without changing expression, he made his way back to his seat.

Sitting nearby, Victoria, Johanna, and Cole all wore unsightly expressions. They, too, had heard what had just transpired.

As Lex sat down, Cole couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“Uncle Lex,” he asked cautiously, “what happened just now? Everyone’s… everyone’s talking about you.”

Lex noted the strange look on his nephew’s face and remembered the stares he’d received walking in. His expression darkened.

“What are they saying?”

“They… they’re saying you’re a pervert. A creep…” Cole looked uneasy.

He quickly added, “But I know it’s not true. It must be a misunderstanding. You’re not that kind of person.”

Cole was tactful, but Lex wasn’t someone easily fooled. He instantly understood what had happened.

His face grew cold. “It’s Sharon. I really underestimated her.”

At the mention of Sharon, Victoria’s gaze flickered.

“You met with Sharon? What exactly happened?”

Cole glanced at his uncle, nervous. He knew Lex’s temperament well enough to realize their first meeting couldn’t have gone

smoothly.

Afraid Victoria might misunderstand, he quickly stepped in to explain.

“Victoria, it’s like this… my grandpa wanted to arrange a meeting between Uncle Lex and Sharon. Uncle Lex couldn’t refuse, so he agreed to see her. That’s why he didn’t show up at your race the other day.”

Victoria looked visibly surprised. “Uriah wants to set Lex up with Sharon?”

Though Lex was technically Cole’s uncle, Victoria had always called him by his name. When they’d first met through racing, neither of them had known each other’s identity, and that was what she’d called him ever since.

Lex’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Sharon sure knows how to play her cards.”

He turned toward Victoria, his tone laced with hidden meaning.

“Remember what Cole said before? That she always tried to steal from you, and you didn’t believe it. What about now? Do you still not believe it?”
