Sebastian and Daniela, upon entering the venue, immediately captured everyone's attention.

They were both dressed in modern Chinese attire. He exuded an air of cool aloofness, while she was gentle and graceful, standing like a painting, a perfect match.

They entered hand in hand, exchanging smiles occasionally, not showing any sign of the marital discord reported in the news.

Actually, Daniela's fingernails were digging deep into Sebastian's palm.

Sebastian remained unfazed, whispering, "Six million a month, holding hands isn't a bad deal."

Daniela inwardly scoffed.

As soon as they got out of the car, Sebastian took Daniela's hand. She struggled to pull away, but he wouldn't let go.

Reporters nearby kept snapping photos of the couple. Daniela had no choice but to give in. Frustrated, she used her nails to pinch him.

Sebastian, however, was able to endure it, holding her hand and appearing incredibly affectionate.

Sofia, standing beside Diego, fixed her gaze on Daniela, as if she wanted to devour her.

Daniela secretly pinched harder, but leaned closer to Sebastian, practically pressing against him, then threw Sofia a triumphant glance.

Sofia swayed slightly, her face darkening like a storm cloud about to break.

Diego's voice, soft and calm, reached her ears, "Control your expression, isn't making a fool of yourself enough?"

Sofia squeezed the champagne in her hand, trying to force a smile, but couldn't.

Martina defended her, "What's wrong with Sofia? Didn't you see how smug Daniela was? She's deliberately provoking Sofia. You..."

Diego shot her a cold glance, "If you want to cause a scene, do it at home."

He had repeatedly warned her not to act up at such an event, but she ignored him.

He was displeased, his eyes landing on the dress Sofia was wearing, making him even more dissatisfied, "Go home and return the dress."

"Dad."

Sofia was utterly shocked.

She had already worn the dress, how could she return it?

If she did, she would be the laughingstock of R City!

Diego ignored her and headed straight for Sebastian.

Sebastian was surrounded by almost all the prominent figures at the banquet, as well as several foreign businessmen, who, it was said, were specially invited by the organizers.

Daniela exchanged a few pleasantries, then quietly slipped out of the crowd to find Lucas.

The auction hall was crowded. Daniela searched for a while without finding him. Then she saw a sign that read "Exhibition of Auction Items" and went over.

Pictures of the items to be auctioned that night were displayed.

Daniela glanced over, and there was Lucas, standing with two other people in the distance.

Coincidentally, Lucas also noticed her and waved, "Daniela."

Daniela smiled and approached.

Next to Lucas were two other people, a brother and sister, Ivan Jones and Genevieve Jones. They had just returned from abroad.

They exchanged greetings.

Lucas said, "Daniela, take a look. This is the painting I was talking about."

Daniela looked intently.

Even though she was usually calm and collected, seeing the painting caused her to be startled.

"Jiangtian Musxue by Mu Xi!"

This...

Her mind raced, her facial expression shifting continuously.

Lucas couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Ivan, however, was very complimentary, "I didn't expect Mrs. Romero to be familiar with it."

Daniela bit her lip, forcing a smile, "Mr. Jones, you flatter me. The Eight Views of Xiao Xiang are very famous, many people would recognize them."

Ivan: "But to recognize it as a work by Mu Xi at a glance, that's impressive. Mrs. Romero, have you seen Mu Xi's Eight Views of Xiao Xiang before?"

Daniela didn't know how to respond. Just as she hesitated, Sofia's voice came from beside her, "My sister has always been in the country, how would she have the opportunity to see such a valuable painting?"
