Chapter 601

Author: Sienna Yates
The auctioneer speculated aloud, "This painting, Nightfall, is the only one in MK's entire collection that features a human figure. I wonder if this figure holds a special meaning for MK? Or… could she be his unattainable first love?"

He went on, weaving story after story about the painting and guessing at MK's creative inspiration.

In the audience, Wendy listened with half an ear before muttering with a sigh, "These people are really good at making things up. A first love, even—what a waste they're not in screenwriting."

Xavier chuckled. "Add a bit of drama and the price will soar."

"They don't even know whether the artist is a man or a woman," Wendy said, exasperated, "yet they're talking about first loves… utterly ridiculous."

Just then, Thomas, who had been studying the painting intently, suddenly spoke. "The woman in this painting… is it Sharon herself?"

Wendy turned to him with approval. "Thomas, sharp eyes—you can tell?"

Thomas smiled. "I've often seen Sharon playing the

    The trending topic wouldn't go away—it was clear someone was deliberately stirring the pot. And that someone was obviously Nate. He was likely the one secretly backing Sharon.Lex's lips pressed into a straight line. His eyes flickered with a cold light.To him, this kind of thing was trivial—he didn't care what others said. Yet somehow, these recent incidents gnawed at him like a bone stuck in his throat.After a few moments of silence, he finally said, "Call Carter."At the same time, Wendy hurried to share the news with Sharon."Sharon, Lex's trending! Haha, what goes around comes around. Now he's being called the biggest scumbag of the century!"She laughed with wicked glee."Oh, it's priceless! A few of those high-society princesses tried playing defense—'She's just some nobody spreading lies,' 'We've never even heard of her!'""But the internet eviscerated him. 'Lex never confirmed a single relationship,' they said. 'Hid her like dirty laundry while playing the eligible b

    Nate wasn't about to tell Julliard his plans. Julliard was too kindhearted—there was no way he'd approve of this plan. If Julliard told Carter, the whole scheme against Sharon would fall apart.Nate hesitated, then tried to cover his tracks."Julliard, let's not tell Carter about Sharon's blind date today. You know how he keeps hoping she'll come back to take care of Theo. Finding out she's dating again would only upset him."Julliard glanced at Nate, the sharpness in his eyes fading."Yeah, I get it."…The next day, Lex was busy with work when the door suddenly slammed open.Cole rushed in, face tense."Uncle Lex, bad news! You're all over the news!"Lex frowned."Me?""Yeah, you." Cole gulped. "The headlines say you're a two-timing scumbag who dumped your girlfriend who's been with you for years…"Lex's mind snapped back to yesterday. His face darkened with anger."Nonsense!"Cole pressed on, "I know it's fake, but no one else does. The Kalen family is in Zachemaine no

    At that thought, Nate's eyes lit up gleefully.This had to be dirt on Sharon, right? After all, she was playing the role of the "other woman."His excitement grew. This time, he would ruin her reputation completely. Then Kelly would see him in a new light and praise his cleverness.Lex's face darkened further as Thomas blocked him. He recognized Thomas as the same man who had come with Sharon and the others to the auction.His gaze flicked to Julliard standing nearby.Right then, everything clicked.He stopped and looked at Sharon, his eyes sharp and chilling. "Quite a ruthless tactic."Sharon feigned ignorance. "I don't know what you're talking about."Being found out by Lex was no surprise. Sharon had expected it.Lex wasn't stupid; he'd suspect something from this deliberate setup. She wanted to leave him no room to complain.Lex's eyes swept over the onlookers. Most wore expressions of contempt and disdain. His fists clenched involuntarily.Sharon, once easily pushed out

    "Everyone, take a good look at this ungrateful scoundrel! Now that he's made it big, he wants to throw me—his loyal girlfriend—aside! I'm not so easy to fool! He expects me to quietly disappear as if nothing ever happened? Dream on!"The woman shouted, recounting how she had been with Lex since she was eighteen. She spoke of making him meals, caring for him tenderly, painting a picture of herself as the devoted victim.Under her narrative, Lex became a heartless villain, utterly without conscience. She was the tragic figure, wasting her youth and love on a deceiver. As she spoke, the crowd's eyes turned colder and more disdainful. Like mistresses, scoundrels were never welcomed anywhere.Lex's face darkened with fury as the woman's accusations grew more outrageous. Suddenly, he grabbed her by the throat. "Say one more word of nonsense, and I swear I'll kill you!"Seeing Lex about to strike, Sharon abruptly yanked the tablecloth. Dishes and glasses flew toward Lex.Her expression

    Lex didn't want to argue with Uriah. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. It's not appropriate to be on the phone during a date."Hearing this, Uriah had no choice but to end the call.After hanging up, Lex turned to Sharon. "Sharon, shall we order, or continue talking?"Continuing the conversation would only lead to a war of words and mutual jabs. Sharon was too tired to waste breath on him. "Let's order."Better to eat first—the real drama was still to come.After placing their orders, Sharon's phone vibrated quietly. She glanced at the screen and saw a message from Thomas.Thomas: [I'm sitting right in front of you.]Her lashes flickered subtly as she glanced up without a trace of reaction.Sure enough, Thomas was seated in the corner just ahead. He gave her a slight nod when their eyes met.Sharon smoothly looked away.Thomas had really come.Since this was a restaurant and Lex was meeting her on Uriah's orders, it was unlikely he would do anything rash here.The

    Julliard often spoke up for Sharon, and both Nate and Carter called him a good-hearted man.But she always felt something was off—now she understood why.Kelly asked, "Thomas, have you heard anything else? How does Sharon plan to deal with me?"Thomas glanced at her. "She doesn't seem to have any intention of targeting you. I haven't heard her say anything like that. Right now, she's focused all her energy on organizing the concert."In other words, Sharon didn't even consider her worth bothering about.Kelly's face stiffened. "Thomas, are you sure? Could it be they're discussing things behind your back, and you just didn't hear?"Thomas looked down at her with a hint of condescension."Kelly, you keep saying she wants to harm you, but all this time, aside from your self-inflicted injuries, she hasn't done anything to you."If anything, Kelly was the one targeting Sharon. She'd even pushed Sharon into the lake with the intention to kill her.Kelly had no comeback. She knew Thom
