Ah Mask Caltiin, what a coincidencel Falls, who had planned to contact her later, didn’t expect to run bito her so unexpectedly.
Felix, what a coincidence. Are you here for dinner too?” Caitlin replied, surprised by the encounter.
I brought my family here for dinner and to accompany my father to attend an art exhibition,” Felix said.
Will Elder Xenos also be attending the exhibition?” Caitlin asked.
“Yes, my father heard that Master O’Brien will be at the exhibition today, and he wants to go to meet him,” Felix replied.
Caitlin was intrigued. “Does Elder Xenos want to collect O’Brien’s works?”
“Actually, my father is skilled in realism, but he really appreciates Impressionism, especially O’Brien’s work,” Felix explained.
Caitlin nodded, understanding. She was also curious, though, about the fact that Master O’Brien would be at the exhibition, which seemed a little suspicious to her.
Felix then got to the main topic. “By the way, Miss Caitlin, the case with Gavin still hasn’t caught the killer, but I’ve tracked down Omar’s whereabouts. Here’s the address. I hope this helps.”
“Thank you, Felix. I really appreciate it.” Caitlin took the address and glanced at it, but before she could speak further, a hand suddenly grabbed it from
her.
Caitlin looked up, and her eyes met a furious face. It was Madison, looking as if she’d caught them in some illicit affair. “You two have had enough! You’re even talking business during dinner? Is this the place you arranged to meet?”
“Madison, it’s not like that-”
Before Felix could explain, Madison tore the paper into pieces. “You two want to date? Well, I won’t let you!”
After tearing up the address, Madison shouted at Felix, “Go back to the private room now!”
“You misunderstood, Madison. I’m just talking business with Miss Caitlin—”
“I don’t care! Go back now!” Madison pushed him back to the room and then turned to face Caitlin.
“What’s going on? If your husband can’t do it, you have to try to hook someone else’s? Caitlin, don’t you have any shame?”
The conflict between Madison and Caitlin had escalated. Old grievances were stacked upon new ones, and Madison, already furious, was ready to tear
her apart if not for the public setting.
“Mrs. Jones, how do you know my husband can’t perform? What’s your basis for saying that? Do you dare say that in front of Mr. Vanderbilt?”
“Hmph! No matter what, you’re just a seductress!”
Madison spat out in disgust.
“I should thank Mrs. Jones for the compliment. Not everyone can be a seductress. I don’t think you could have even entered The Xenos Family if it weren’t for your Jones Family background. You probably wouldn’t even have the chance to play the seductress!” Caitlin casually shot back, but her words stung.
Madison was taken aback. For the first time, she encountered such an audacious woman who didn’t feel ashamed when insulted, but instead seemed proud of the title.
“I don’t care! I won’t let you seduce my husband! If you continue, I’ll expose your affair online!”

son 1 inaku baseless accusations: If you slander me, I will make your family pay!” Cailin shot back, her voice cold and filled with juny:
The intensity of Caitlin’s words, hei lierce glare, seemed to freeze Madison in place. For a moment, she couldn’t even muster #responce. Finally bad Walked away with an air of triumph.
Madison, fuming, couldn’t shake the image of Caitlin’s chilling gaze. Despite her anger, a small part of her felt a tinge of fear. That woman had truly keemed capable of destroying her whole family if pushed too far.
Despite Madison’s attempt to tear up the address, Caitlin had a sharp memory and had committed the location to heart. She immediately called Quincy and instructed him to track down Omar at the address. She also asked about when the collaboration with O’Brien for the gallery event had been finalized, but she was told there had never been any such request made to O’Brien.
“I see. Go find Omar as soon as possible, and get back to me afterward.” Caitlin hung up and returned to the table, where Simon said, “The food’s cold now. Should I order you another serving?”
“Well, since you’re done, let’s head over to the exhibition,” Simon suggested.
Meanwhile, outside, Sebastian was still waiting in the car. Tyler had dropped off Howard at The Vanderbilt Family, where Vaughn and King were watching
At this moment, Caitlin and the others exited the restaurant and headed toward the art exhibition. Xavi quickly informed Sebastian, “Mr. Vanderbilt, they’ve left! Should we follow them?”
“What’s the point of following them?” Sebastian grumbled, his mood sour. “What’s the point of chasing them around?”
Before Sebastian could respond, Tyler, the more action–oriented of the two, had already started the car.
The art exhibition was being held at the prestigious Lisson Gallery in New York, known for promoting emerging artists from around the world and using proceeds for charity.
When they arrived, they were greeted by advertisements for O’Brien, the famous Eastern artist, who would be doing a live painting demonstration.
