Lovas led Elder Xenos and his family into the gallery’s inner area. Inside, there was an open space with tables set up. The su carred canon BLA stationed there surrounding him were many guests who were clearly interested in ins work.
This is Master O’Brien!” Louis approached O’Brien and began the introductions.
“Master O’Brien, this is the renowned realist artist Mi. Xenos. He has come today to meet you.”
As they got closer, Caitlin could see the artist clearly. He was a man in his early thirties with long hair and a full beard, giving off an impression of the free spirited, rebellious artist type.
Hearing the curator’s introduction, O’Brien immediately shook hands with Martin Xenos.
“Oh, so you’re the famous elder artist Martin Xenos! It’s a pleasure to meet you!”
“Likewise, it’s a surprise to meet you, Master O’Brien. I didn’t expect you to be so young. Truly impressive.”
After some polite exchanges, under Louis’s guidance, Martin and O’Brien headed to a lounge for a private chat while the others continued to enjoy the
exhibition.
After seeing the so–called O’Brien Master for herself, Caitlin immediately contacted Quincy, instructing him to investigate the artist’s background. She was eager to find out who had the audacity to pretend to be O’Brien!
The exhibition was following a set schedule, and after all the invited guests had arrived, Master O’Brien would do a live painting session. Afterward, there would be a charity auction where his paintings would be sold, with all proceeds going to charity. Finally, there would be a gallery appreciation reception for all guests.
After O’Brien’s departure, the guests were free to disperse.
Yasmin, noticing Caitlin nearby, walked up and sneered, “Caitlin, what are you doing here again? Let me tell you, you don’t stand a chance! My sister–in- law and my brother are not getting divorced.”
“You’re the one with issues!” Caitlin retorted, then turned away, not wanting to waste time arguing with someone so senseless.
“Hey, who are you calling messed up? You better clarify yourself!” Yasmin blocked her path.
Caitlin looked at her coldly. “If you don’t want to embarrass yourself, stop looking for trouble with me.”
“Such arrogance! I just want to know why you’re here today,” Yasmin shot back. “Are you not taking care of Sebastian again and are now trying to seduce another man? Who doesn’t know that today’s charity auction is for the upper class?”
“Whatever I do is none of your business!” Caitlin snapped, brushing past her and continuing her walk. Some women were just like flies–buzzing around
incessantly.
Yasmin, frustrated and furious, watched Caitlin walk away, and noticed her heading toward a young man, laughing and talking together.
Aha!
That young man must be her new lover! Yasmin immediately pulled out her phone, snapping a few pictures of the two of them looking particularly close, then sent them directly to Sebastian’s phone. She wanted him to know that he was being cheated on again.
Xavi, who was handling Sebastian’s messages, received the photos from Yasmin. After glancing at them, he said nothing.
Sebastian heard the notification sound and asked, “Who sent that?”
“It’s from Yasmin,” Xavi replied.

Actusly, he was mer: Concerned about Yasmin causing trouble again. He had heard that the whole Xenos family was here, and if they started (algetike Cantin, what would happen?
With his sister’s lack of common sense, how could she help Caitlin?
At Lisson Gallery, more and more guests were Arriving. There were many well–known figures, artists, and upper–class socialites gathering here, including a few representatives from The Lewis Family.
Jonathan and Megan, along with their daughter Jasmine, also arrived. Recently, due to Scott and Joshua’s scandals, The Lewis Family’s reputation had been hit hard, so they were here to attend the charity auction in hopes of restoring their image.
Additionally, Benjamin and Nolan arrived at the event. Benjamin immediately spotted a plump woman in the crowd. He furrowed his brows. “Why is she
here?”
Following her gaze, Benjamin saw Caitlin standing in front of a painting. Nolan asked, “Where? Where?”
“Over there, by the painting,” Benjamin said.
Nolan saw her too. “Wow, she’s beautiful! I mean, the painting is nice, but she’s stunning!”
Benjamin chuckled. “No comparison. Even if you add up all three of New York’s top beauties, they still can’t compete with Caitlín. She could easily outshine everyone.”
“Agreed!” Nolan laughed. “I’m starting to understand the boss’s obsession now. Should we go greet her?”
“Let’s not. If the boss finds out we’re bothering Caitlin privately, he’ll flip. Let’s just wait until he introduces us properly. For now, let’s pretend we didn’t see her.”
Benjamin grabbed Nolan and led him away.
They didn’t notice that Jasmine had been standing behind them, overhearing their conversation.
Jasmine was furious!
They actually said that Caitlin was more stunning than all three of New York’s top beauties combined? How is that possible?
The top three beauties in New York were recognized publicly as the standard of upper–class beauty, but what was Caitlin? Who did she think she was?
Jasmine walked up to Caitlin with a furious expression. “Caitlin, can I speak with you privately?”
Caitlin, who had been chatting with Wendy, felt the mood shift when Jasmine interrupted.
“Say it here, what’s the big deal?”
“This place isn’t suitable, come with me,” Jasmine/insisted, pulling Caitlin aside.
Wendy grabbed Caitlin’s arm. “Don’t go with her! What if she’s trying to trap you?”
“I’m not scared of her. Wait for me, I’ll be right back.”
Caitlin followed Jasmine to a more secluded area, eurious about what she had to say.
Once they were in the safe passage, Caitlin stopped and asked, “What do you want to say?”

Jasmine turnest, her eyes cold. “Caitlin, tell me the truth. Did you have something to do with my brother getting arrested and causing LG in base the Jackson Rapid Group project?”
“Are you also involved with the CL Group?” Jasmine’s voice was harsh as she pressed forward.
