It was a pure appreciation of art.

From the very beginning, Damon had imagined that if he could exchange painting insights with an artist like Aurelia, he’d die happy.

But later, he grew impatient.

He started looking at art with a greedy, shortcut mindset.

He thought he could slowly, step by step, make Aurelia his mentor.

He’d actually found out long ago that Aurelia really liked Eugenia’s work.

That was why he was willing to lower himself and ask Alice for that painting.

He believed that as long as he got the painting, Aurelia would definitely reach out to him.

When that happened, no matter what terms were discussed, he believed he’d be the one calling the shots.

But…

He lifted his eyes and stared at the white wall.

Anger simmered beneath the surface.

Alice knows everything, but she’s said nothing.

She just let me humiliate myself.

Maybe right now, she’s laughing at me inside!

Bang!

His fist slammed hard into the wall.

Does she really think that just because I said a few soft words, I’m a pushover?

Good thing Mom and Dad are coming back soon.

I can’t wait to see if Alice can withstand their anger!

Ryan was still chatting with Alice.

“I heard Mrs. Irene is planning a dinner party. She says Mr. Matt and Mr. Josh’s family are struggling, and she wants to help a few girls in the family set up blind dates.”

Knowing Alice didn’t like pointless talk, Ryan went straight to the point.

“Oh, the blind dates are just a nice excuse. In reality, Mrs. Irene wants to use the media to mess with you.

“As for how she’ll do it or what she’ll use, I don’t know.”

Ryan came from the entertainment industry, and he was always sharp with gossip.

Alice believed him.

Irene targeting us?

The only usable dirt right now is Ruby’s divorce, maybe.

Alice snorted softly.

She thought Irene was … dumb in a cute way.

Seeing her reaction, Ryan understood she wasn’t worried, so he didn’t dwell on it.

“Oh, by the way, that Global Hotel of yours is making a lot of money. My mentee earned quite a bit. Mind if I invest a little?”

“No problem. You’re welcome anytime.”

Nearby, Damon’s heart stirred.

But he only noted it silently, planning to ask Alice once their parents returned.

He rubbed the injury on his hand, his eyes full of hatred.

He was about to leave.

But when he turned around, he saw Boston.

As a celebrity, Boston’s schedule was complicated. He rarely had time to accompany his family.

So, among the Spencers, aside from their parents and Linda, no one else was worth his setting aside work

for.

And Damon remembered that Boston was supposed to be filming a period drama,

It was said to be a big production. Even someone with Boston’s popularity could only get the third male

lead.

But with top actors involved, expectations were high.

So seeing Boston here instead of working was shocking.

“Damon.”

Boston greeted him and was about to leave.

Damon stopped him.

A reckless thought suddenly crossed his mind.

“You’re not here to see Alice, are you?”

Boston froze.

A flicker of guilt flashed in his eyes.

He was.
