Not long after, a large group of staff surrounded Valentin and walked over attentively.
Valentin was tall and graceful. He was dressed in a crisp white shirt emphasizing his robust waist. His long legs were covered in those perfectly tailored pants. Valentin had an understated allure as he strolled gracefully, giving off this cool and classy vibe.
Especially as he listened to Simon's report while walking, every inch of his features, from the straight nose to the sharp jawline and the alluring Adam's apple, exuded a captivating charm.
A few girls in the crowd immediately exclaimed in a low voice.
"Ah, it's really Mr. Kingsley! He's really here!"
"So good-looking! So good-looking! He's so attractive that I'm practically speechless!"
"I really want to crumple his white shirt..."
All eyes were on the handsome and noble man, and Cara was no exception.
She instinctively raised her hand, adjusted her dress, and tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear. After ensuring her image was flawless, she nervously clasped her hands.
However, from the moment of entering the venue, Valentin's profound gaze excluded everyone irrelevant, focusing uniquely on Ashley.
As long as Ashley was present, he could only see her in his eyes and no one else.
Joseph had grown accustomed to this because Valentin was a hopeless romantic deeply in love with his wife.
Just then, a bold young reporter excitedly approached, fearlessly interviewing. "Mr. Kingsley, there have been rumors online these past few days suggesting you attended today's art exhibition for Cara. Is that true?"
Seeing the actions of the young reporter, other journalists immediately felt a cold sweat.
How daring! He dared to interview Valentin directly!
Joseph observed the scene and subtly grimaced. He had just brought it up, and someone was foolish enough to ask Valentin the question.
But hearing the reporter's question, the curiosity of many people was piqued.
Was it true that he came for Cara?
Unexpectedly, Valentin stopped in his tracks, looking at the young reporter who asked.
It seemed like he was willing to answer this question.
Belatedly sensing the tension, the reporter nervously repeated the question. "Mr. Kingsley...did you attend the art exhibition today for Cara?"
In the next instant, Valentin's calm and indifferent voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"Who is Cara?"
At that moment, everyone fell into silence and wondered.
'What? Valentin doesn't know Cara?'
'He doesn't even know who Cara is!'
'Cara is a recently popular female celebrity who trended on social media multiple times. Valentin doesn't know her, indicating he hasn't paid attention to her.'
On the other hand, Joseph nudged Ashley's arm, lowering his voice. "See that, Ashley? Valentin's move is really swift and decisive. He publicly stated that he had no connection with Cara. It's to show his loyalty to you."
Ashley was literally speechless.
She thought, 'What loyalty? What kind of messy words are these! Can't he speak properly?'
Ashley ground her teeth and lowered her voice. "This is called clarification, not showing loyalty."
"Oh, Valentin just doesn't want you to get the wrong idea! Even a hint of misunderstanding must be nipped in the bud quickly and decisively. Ashley, trust me, I swear on my conscience, from childhood to now, both physically and mentally, Valentin has only ever had eyes for you!" Joseph patted his chest and said in a firm tone.
Ashley was speechless again, thinking, 'He is genuinely an overly protective brother.
'Wait a minute. Physically? Valentin and I haven't done anything yet!'
On the other hand, after confirming that Valentin had no connection with Cara and didn't attend the art exhibition for her, the reporters started speculating. "It seems Mr. Kingsley is here today just to appreciate the artwork."
However, at this moment, Valentin lifted his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was no longer as distant and cold as it was just now. "Not exactly."
"So, Mr. Kingsley, did you come here for..."
Valentin smiled slightly, his tone hinting at a trace of subtle fondness, "To see Ashley. I really like Aurora Easel."
As soon as he finished speaking, the journalists and onlookers, even Ashley herself, were left astonished.
Just when the buzz created by Clinton wasn't enough, now a more influential figure, Valentin, stepped into the spotlight, and once again, he was here for Ashley!
