Before Victoria could speak, Johanna chuckled from beside her.

“Back then, everyone joked that Cole was Victoria’s fiancé. When Sharon heard that, she schemed to sleep with him. Now, she’s even going on a blind date with Lex… And to top it off, there’s this molestation scandal.”

She spoke teasingly, “Looks like Lex won’t have much choice but to marry Sharon after all.”

Victoria glanced at Lex.

“Lex, Sharon isn’t as bad as you think. Your dad supports her and even arranged this match. He must hold her in high regard.”

She paused awhile, then added, “Actually, Sharon has many strengths.”

Before she could finish, Cole scoffed.

“She’s just a chick who grew up in the countryside, got lucky somehow, and got into Bell University. What strengths could she possibly have? Victoria, just look at the people she’s associating with now. It’s obvious she’s ambitious.”

Johanna looked surprised. “Sharon graduated from Bell University?”

Cole sneered, “Probably just lucked her way in.”

Victoria replied firmly, “You don’t just luck into Bell University.”

Cole looked at her and sighed softly.

“Victoria, you treat her like a sister, but she doesn’t treat you like one…”

Before he could finish, Victoria interrupted gently, “Enough. Don’t talk like that.”

She didn’t want to badmouth Sharon behind her back. “Our relationship isn’t close, but we’re not enemies. No matter what, we’re family. That can’t be changed.”

After a brief pause, she looked toward Lex.

“Lex, maybe you should get to know Sharon better…”

Lex cut her off, his deep eyes locking on her face.

“Other than you, I don’t want to know anyone else.”

Victoria was slightly taken aback.

Cole and Johanna exchanged a glance and, in unison, turned their eyes away with a shared understanding.

“Lex,” Victoria said seriously, “I only see you as a brother figure.”

She had said this many times before.

There was no romantic feeling between her and Lex. After realizing his affection, she had gently rejected him repeatedly, finally making her stance unmistakably clear.

Yet Lex remained unmoved and stubbornly persistent.

Faced with Victoria’s repeated refusals, he showed neither anger nor disappointment.

“I know,” he said softly.

Despite his words, Lex showed no sign of giving up.

Seeing this, Johanna shifted the topic.

“Victoria, is that the painting you wanted up ahead?”

Her question immediately drew the three’s attention.

They all turned toward the display stand.

At the same time, voices of admiration rippled through the surrounding crowd.

“What an evocative piece!”

“Who painted it? It’s so vibrant. A new artist?”

“No way! You call yourself a connoisseur but don’t even know MK?”

“Heh, I’m not so familiar with contemporary artists.”

Before their conversation ended, the host began the introduction.

“This painting is titled Nightfall, created by MK, one of the most mysterious and talented artists of recent years. MK is no stranger to many of you; he rose to fame five years ago, and to date, only five of his works have ever been seen.

“We are fortunate to have acquired Nightfall from a private collector.

“Everyone here surely knows MK’s reputation and the value of his works. Each of his paintings commands a final sale price of no less than a million.”
