Uriah had not only chosen not to press charges but even insisted that Cole apologize to Sharon. That alone showed just how much backing Sharon had.
The group climbed into Lex’s car.
Once inside, Lex asked Victoria, “Where are you girls headed?”
Victoria glanced at Johanna. “Johanna, my dad hasn’t seen you in ages. He misses you a lot. Why don’t you come stay with me?”
Johanna didn’t refuse. “Sure.”
The car started moving slowly.
Cole sat in the front passenger seat, recalling the mysterious buyer from earlier. He couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle Lex, do you know who bought that painting?”
Lex shook his head. “No idea.”
Cole sighed. “What a sucker, spending so much money on a painting like that. I bet he’s regretting it already.”
Victoria replied, “If they have deep pockets, this money is just a hobby expense-nothing to them.”
After all, she herself had been willing to bid 10 million for that painting. Even for a wealthy heiress like her, 10 million wasn’ta small sum. It hurt a bit, but she could afford it.
Unfortunately, her savings over the years were limited. She didn’t want to ask her father or brother for money, so she had to
make do.
That painting was one she had thought about constantly over the years.
If given the chance, she truly wanted to meet MK. But MK remained a mystery. Despite her long investigation, she could find no trace of MK anywhere.
Speaking of mysteries, Victoria thought of someone else. She asked, “Cole, any news on X? The racer I asked you to look into?”
“X?” Lex, though retired from professional racing, still followed the sport in his free time. Victoria’s question caught him off guard. “Who are you talking about? I’ve never heard of anyone called that.”
Cole quickly explained, “To be honest, if it weren’t for Lucas asking me, I wouldn’t know either.”
Lex’s brow furrowed. “Lucas? You mean Lucas Hunter, the guy who nearly won the Grand Slam a few years ago, then suddenly
vanished?”
Cole nodded. “That’s him.”
Lex’s expression shifted.
He’d been a professional racer himself. Of course, though a racer, he spent more time managing the company. Racing was more of a pastime for him.
But Lex had been a prodigy since childhood. He had always been number one at anything he did. The only person he had ever lost to in his career was Lucas.
Unlike Lex, Lucas was a true professional racer. He spent far more hours training. And Lex had never forgotten that loss.
Lex asked, “Why is he looking for this person? Was he beaten by him?”
Cole replied, “Actually, yes. He really lost to this mysterious X.”

Lex’s eyes darkened. “In an official race?”
“No,” Cole shook his head. “Not an official race, but a private PK event between their team and another.
“During the race, a rogue car suddenly crashed in, disrupting the entire event. Both teams had their formations all planned out, but this intruder threw everything off balance.
“They were furious and ready to corner the rogue car. Guess what happened next?”
