Lucas, who had been silent beside her, suddenly spoke up. Lena thought she had misheard and looked at him in disbelief.
For a moment, the noisy crowd fell silent. Everyone had assumed Lucas would side with Zoe and Lena, but unexpectedly, he spoke up for Eos.
The reporters quickly turned their cameras toward him. Lucas's perfect profile looked flawless under the sharp lenses. He spoke slowly, his eyes focused on Eos, who was at the center of attention, "I can testify that everything Eos said is true. I unintentionally stumbled upon her livestream a long time ago, and it did happen."
"Moreover, this exhibition was funded by the Thornwell Corporation. We will take responsibility for all damages. I deeply apologize for the theft of Eos's work."
Aria was stunned, thinking she had misheard.
