Owen nodded in agreement, realizing the truth in that,
Ramirez over
âTake a look at that glass lamp, the antique porcelain plate, and the natureâthemed decorative screen. These are all items that Mr. Ra there is particularly fond of
âMr. Bartlett over there has a particular fondness for this briar wood pipe and the perfume bottle. Though theyâre quite valuable, catering to his preferences could be very helpful in expanding our business in the future. Max said.
Max was exceptionally knowledgeable about the preferences of those highâprofile figures, thanks to a subtle tip from Valerie. Her intention had been for Max to discreetly pass the information to Owen, hinting that those people could be manipulated. Owen quickly caught on and began. placing bids frequently as soon as the event started.
Tyrell beside him was impressed and surprised by Owenâs generosity. He thought, âWealthy people are different spending money without even blinking an eye.
Watching Owen continuously place bids and successfully acquire four items, all aimed at pleasing the two highâprofile figures. Max felt relieved. He had fulfilled the tasks Valerie had entrusted to him, and now it was up to Owen to see what he would do next
In truth, Max had never liked Owenâhe found him arrogant, ruthless, and notorious for his cunning tactics in business. It was well known that Owen was not someone to be easily crossed, and Max was no exception to this awareness. Seeing Owen finally wrap everything up, Max couldnât help but nod in acknowledgment..
Owen let out a deep breath, feeling that it was about time. Seeing that others at the auction had also made their acquisitions, he eagerly patted Tyrell on the back and said, âLetâs go outside and get some fresh air Since they were already on the Vontois, he wanted to enjoy the scenery, especially the sight of Tyrell.
Seeing that everyone else had gradually secured their desired items and left, Tyrell followed Owen our With Owen by his side, he had nothing to worry about. Besides, with a wealthy benefactor like Owen ensuring his safety. Tyrell was eager to make a good impression today
Once they were outside, Owen and Tyrell began to drink together. Tyrell congratulated him, hoping to build a better relationship with Owen. However, Owenâs gaze grew increasingly intense, not reflecting the usual affection from a senior to a junior but rather an overt, lingering interest. Tyrell, completely unaware, remained focused on flattering Owen.
As soon as they were outside, Owenâs associates approached, pretending to be successful figures while drinking with Tyrell. Not accustomed to such situations, Tyrell quickly became drunk. Owen couldnât help but laugh when he saw Tyrellâs flushed face, noting to himself how inexperienced the young man was, getting drunk so quickly.
Owen parted Tyrell on the back and said. âCome on, letâs head to my room so you can rest. You canât handle your liquor too well! Thereâs more to come later, and you donât want to miss it. Tyrell, unsteady on his feet, followed him, while his assistant was stopped by security guards who blocked the way.
âAlright, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Willkins have a business to discuss, so you should stay back. If he wants to be popular, he needs to follow Mr. Anderson!â The two assistants, seeing the situation, knew they couldnât intervene and could only wait anxiously from a distance.
Once Tyrell was brought into the room, several of Owenâs men followed. They eagerly poured a glass of water, adding something to it before handing it to Tyrell Owen showed no concem for privacy in this matter. Already disoriented from the alcohol, Tyrell was taken aback when he saw Owen wrapping his arms around him.
âDrink up, and youâll be in for a great time,â Owen said. Tyrell, taken aback and alarmed, immediately refused
âNot going to drink? Then it wonât be up to you!â Owen said.
Valerie watched the entire scene unfold. When Charles informed her that Owen had taken a new, upâandâcoming actor to his room, Valerie was shocked. She hadnât expected Owen to find someone so suitable on his own. âDoes this mean our people werenât even needed?â Valerie asked.
Charles nodded. âYes, Tyrell Wilkins was targeted as soon as he arrived. Should we intervene now?â
âAbsolutely. This is a rare opportunity, and if we donât act now, we might not get another chance like this, Valerie said. Hearing this, Charles nodded and went with her to address the situation.
Owenâs room was specially designed, with hidden features within it. When Tyrell saw that Owen was about to force him, he pushed him away and tried to flee. However, Owen quickly grabbed him and pulled him back.
âStay outside and donât let anyone in!â Owen commanded. He then turned to Tyrell and said, âGood things donât come for free. If you want to benefit from being with me, you need to put in the effort. Tyrell you have potential. Tonight is a great opportunity. If you serve me well, youâll be the lead in my next project!â
Owenâs words left Tyrell pale with fear. While he had heard about industry practices before, he had never encountered anything like this. He had been told that some big names in the industry had particular preferences, and sometimes artists had no choice but to comply.

However, Tyrell could not accept this, especially since Owen was in his fifties. Seeing Owenâs demeanor made Tyrell nearly sick to his stomach, and he could not bring himself to go along with
âMr. Anderson, please donât force me into this. Iâm not that kind of person Tyrell exclaimed.
âNot that kind of person?â Owen snickered. âIsnât it true that as an artist, you rely on the resources you can acquire! Hereâs a prime opportunity right in front of youâjust strip off your clothes and itâs yours. Whatâs the difference? Who are you aligning with?â
Owenâs words made Tyrell frown deeply. âI wonât agree to that! Mr. Anderson, even though Iâm just an ordinary artist, I will never betray myself
Owen sneered and scoffed, âPeople like you are a dime a dozen. They all say they wonât betray themselves at first, but in the end, they all end up doing exactly that for the resources.â Tyrell, feeling frustrated and dizzy, struggled to stay conscious. He couldnât believe that Owen was such cunning
At this moment, Valerie and her team had arrived. The room, specially designed in Steucia style, had a mechanism that caused the dinghy it was on to detach from the larger vessel and head back to the dock. Owen was completely unaware of this, still engrossed in his activities with Tyrell
He stripped off his clothes and sneered at Tyrell. âCome on, itâs just this. Itâs nothing serious. If you cooperate, Iâll make sure this trip is worth your while!â At that moment, Owen grabbed Tyrell and attempted to force himself on him
Suddenly, there was a loud click as a door on the other side of the room opened, and Owenâs face turned pale with fear. He turned to see Valerie emerging from a hidden door, holding a camera and recording, Seeing her, Owenâs face darkened. âValerie Warren, itâs you! How did you get in bere?â
