Sharon thought for a moment, then added, “Your personal portrait would work too.”

Xavier raised an eyebrow. “You sure about that?”

Wendy grinned. “Sharon’s portraits are incredibly lifelike. John and I have several of them.”

Xavier’s interest was clearly piqued. “Alright then, it’s a deal.”

Sharon smiled back. “Deal.”

With that, Xavier dropped out of the bidding.

Wendy noticed Julliard was still bidding and whispered, “Sharon, should we tell him to stop bidding?”

The painting had already reached 20 million. It was a harsh reminder of her limited means. To these wealthy tycoons, money

was mere paper.

Sharon replied, “Julliard said he came to the auction for one painting… probably this one. Honestly, if this is truly what he wants, I don’t know how I could talk him down.”

Even if she told Julliard she was the original artist, he might not believe her.

Wendy lowered her voice. “He didn’t bid at all during our rounds. It seemed like he wasn’t interested in buying. But after Cole and the others joined the bidding, that’s when Julliard jumped in. My guess? He’s not bidding for the painting… It’s for you.”

Sharon looked puzzled. “For me?”

Wendy nodded. “Yeah, to have your back. Sharon, don’t you think Julliard actually cares quite a lot about you?”

Sharon shook her head. “He’s definitely helped me a lot, but that’s probably because of Theo. His values are more upright, unlike Nate or Carter, so he’s been a bit protective. Besides, I’m his best friend’s ex-wife. There’s no reason for him to like me.”

Wendy felt frustrated. Sharon’s view was way too simple.

She was about to say more when Sharon interrupted, “Still, I should talk to him. Whether he listens is up to him.”

With that, Sharon drafted a quick message to Julliard. She wasn’t sure if he’d see it.

To her surprise, not only did he see it, he replied swiftly.

Julliard: [Okay, I’ll listen to you. But Lex has been bullying you. I want to give him a little lesson.]

Reading Julliard’s message, Sharon felt a faint flicker of something strange in her chest, but it vanished just as quickly.

She vaguely guessed what kind of lesson Julliard had in mind for Lex and the others.

When the bidding finally hit 30 million, Julliard stopped.

Lex’s face lit with triumph, “I can’t for the life of me understand how Sharon and her friends have the gall to even think of competing against the Malcolm family’s wealth! How could they possibly compare?”

His expression was unreadable as he glanced at Victoria.

“You won first place in your racing competition, but I haven’t congratulated you yet. Consider this painting my gift to you.”

Johanna chuckled. “Lex really goes all out when he wants something, huh? I’ll have to tell my brother not to let Lex outshine

him.”

Victoria opened her mouth to say something, but thought better of it. There was no turning back now. She stayed silent.

Meanwhile, Lex had already claimed the painting as his own.

Wendy glanced their way and smirked. “Look at how pleased they are… If they knew they’d spent such a fortune on a painting that’s actually Sharon’s work, I wonder how they’d react?”
