The two seemingly at odds people suddenly found themselves at a loss.
Miles Jacobs: "Kyle... assistant?"
Could it be that his benefactor daddy was about to abandon him?
This was the only thought on Miles Jacobs’ mind.
Meanwhile, Justin Callahan was almost about to lose it.
He, a dignitary from Esteria, humbled himself to attend this small Westmarch auction, only to be asked by an assistant to yield in order to sit at this table?
Where was he supposed to put his pride?
But Kyle Keaton seemed oblivious to the fact that he had just offended a highly significant person, merely casting a cold glance at Justin Callahan.
It was then that he finally remembered where he had seen Justin Callahan’s face before.
On... that nude photo sent to July Quinn!
Dare to flirt with his woman right under Kyle Keaton’s nose?

If that’s the case, then let him stay, so he can figure out exactly who this person is!
"Go do your thing; I’ll handle this myself."
Kyle Keaton ordered coldly.
His voice sounded calm and steady, but it sent an inexplicable chill down Miles Jacobs’ spine.
Because his intuition told him that Lord Keaton seemed rather displeased.
But this displeasure didn’t seem to be directed at him, Miles Jacobs.
Only then did Miles relax slightly, "Then I’ll go prepare a bit; the auction is starting in ten minutes."
After Kyle Keaton nodded, Miles Jacobs turned and left.
He showed considerable deference to Kyle Keaton, while the presence of Esteria’s dignitary, Justin Callahan, remained rather insignificant!
Justin Callahan’s face was dark and brooding; this was the second time in Westmarch he had been treated with such indifference, clearly unwilling to let things slide.
Seeing this, Nina Quinn hurried over to quietly persuade him.
"Justin, let it go. There’s no need for an ego clash over the past unpleasantness between me and July."
Indeed, she attributed Justin Callahan’s earlier actions to the past tensions between her and July Quinn, thereby giving Justin a way out.
Because she could see that Justin still wanted to stay in that seat, so she just went with the flow.
Whether he stayed because of July Quinn or for an ego clash with Kyle Keaton, if Justin wanted to remain, he would certainly take her suggestion.
This would allow her to leave a good impression as an understanding woman in Justin’s mind.
Even if Justin truly stayed today because of July Quinn, their stark personality contrast would make him lean more towards Nina Quinn.
As she expected, Justin Callahan didn’t reject her offered way out.
So after giving a cold snort in the direction of July Quinn and Kyle Keaton, he finally sat back down.
A conflict, temporarily averted.
At this moment, the evening’s auction began.
As the auctioneer Holly Houston made a grand entrance in flamboyant attire, July Quinn felt like she was dumbfounded!
Had she known this auction would bring together these two drama magnets, she wouldn’t have come with Kyle Keaton!
For this reason, July Quinn glanced at Kyle Keaton, trying to convey her overwhelming frustration.
Unexpectedly, when she looked back, she found Kyle Keaton’s gaze like a sharp blade, scrutinizing her inch by inch, seemingly conducting the most brutal dissection.
July Quinn immediately glared back, lowering her voice to ask, "What are you staring at?"
Kyle Keaton gave a cold glance at Justin Callahan, who was fixated on her, then turned his gaze back to her, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly.
He leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice, and said, "That’s the naked guy from your phone, isn’t it!"
July Quinn was instantly shocked.
How did Kyle Keaton recognize Justin Callahan at once?
She remembered that photo of Justin Callahan was styled to the extreme, vastly different from his real appearance.
Yet Kyle Keaton recognized it immediately.
Exactly how long had he been staring at Justin Callahan’s photo?
