"I've never seen such a man. At his age, with a woman like me, what could he possibly find wrong? Is he even a man? Can he perform?"
"I was so seductive, yet he still pushed me away!"
They started to doubt themselves. With their irresistible looks that almost no man could resist, they were rejected by Owen three times.
Charles was speechless. He had seen all three attempts clearly and confirmed that Owen had indeed remained unmoved by temptation despite the allure. Not to mention, if such a delicate and beautiful woman were to approach Charles, he would certainly be tempted.
Unfortunately, it seemed Owen simply wasn't interested. They took their payment and left, grumbling about how strange it was that a man could dislike beautiful women. Charles began to question his understanding, thinking, 'Could it be that Mr. Anderson isn't attracted to women? Even a man who isn't usually interested should be tempted by such beauty, shouldn't he?'
Owen's behavior made Charles feel as if he were dealing with an iceberg. He even seemed visibly repulsed when encountering beautiful women. Later, Charles tried several different types of women, but Owen remained unimpressed and completely unaffected.
This led Charles to start doubting, and Valerie also found it hard to believe. Owen was far from being a paragon of virtue. With his cunning and scheming nature, it was hard to imagine he wasn't attracted to beautiful women. Valerie also discovered that, while publicly he only had one daughter, Maliah, his relationship with his wife was average, and there were likely many more women involved behind the scenes.
Valerie thought that with his ambitions, it was unlikely he hadn't faced any temptations over the years. It was indeed strange for someone like him not to be interested in women. "Keep a close watch on him. I don't believe he doesn't have any weaknesses!" Valerie said.
Owen was cunning and had complex connections behind the scenes. The Anderson family was involved in various circles, so it was unlikely he had few desires. Rejecting beautiful women suggested he had other needs they hadn't discovered yet. Keep a close watch on him; even the most elusive individual will eventually reveal their true nature.
"Split into two teams. If the beauty trap doesn't work, we need to start other strategies. Charles, keep your people watching him as usual and check if he goes anywhere unusual. I'll contact Mr. Redfield," Valerie instructed.
"Yes, Mrs. Grant!" Charles replied.
Valerie went directly to Max. Under his leadership, they organized a high-end auction on Vontois, inviting a host of celebrities. This was the only way to disperse Owen's bodyguards. After all, no one would bring dozens of bodyguards—there wouldn't be enough room for them all.
He couldn't help but frown deeply. Seeing Charles's reaction, Valerie laughed. "Don't be so disgusted just yet. Find out exactly what's going on. If he is indeed what I suspect, it will be much easier for us to deal with him effectively. Those women didn't stand a chance because of this very reason."
Charles immediately sent someone to investigate, and it turned out that Owen had quite a reputation. His primary interest was in the entertainment industry, where he had been involved with several young newcomers, either just starting their careers or newly debuted.
Owen was known for his reckless and domineering behavior, and he was very generous with his money, which kept these activities under wraps for years. He also took great care to keep everything secret, ensuring that the Anderson family remained unaware of these matters.
When Charles reached this point in the investigation and saw the photos, he frowned deeply. After a sigh, he handed everything over to Valerie.
When Valerie reviewed the materials, she immediately laughed, saying, "It's a blessing in disguise. Now that we know his background, we don't have to worry anymore!"
