Nobody had noticed that Emily and Charles were there. After all, everyone was paying attention to the auction. It seemed that the auction had begun, and there was a full house of people competing in the bidding.
Their seats were ideally situated in the middle of the hall. Brian was on the right front of them, and Sawyer was on the left front. So they could clearly see the bidding wars play out.
In particular, Cassie's intimate behavior was almost equal to that of an X-rated picture on the scene. And Star Xia was also not behaving much better–leaning against Sawyer's chest and lying in his arms as if she had no bones. The sight made Charles uneasy.
On the contrary, Vincent, who sat beside Brian, looked at the auction with a smug smile on his face. Perhaps he was calculating his income from tonight's lavish event. After glancing at Brian, Emily hissed, "Evildoer!"
"Hey! Are they poisoning my pure heart? Isn't it illegal to pollute a child?"
Emily looked at Charles for a moment with an unreadable gaze, which gave him a bad feeling. Sure enough, Emily said, "Are you a kid? To be honest, I've been doubting it for a long time. You have a child's appearance, but the soul of a twenty or thirty-year-old man. It's very popular to use a dead body to return a soul. If it's the truth, just tell me honestly. I can take it!" After that, the gloomy expression on her face completely defeated Charles.
"Woman, I say it again. Am I your son? I'm here to help you!" Charles said.
"Hurry up!" Emily looked away, and everything was back to normal.
Tears welled up in Charles' eyes as he thought of what he might have done in his last life. It was so cruel and unfair that he had such a callous mother who he couldn't offend. Well, he accepted his fate.
Emily's eyes swept across the front, noticing the warm scene between Sawyer Sang and Star Xia. She felt nothing at seeing it. Now, in her eyes, they were just a couple of so-called hypocritical men and women flaunting their love with PDA. However, even if she didn't care, she knew that they had to pay for what they had done.
As they were talking, a few jade jewels worth millions of dollars had been successfully bidden on by Brian. Nobody else would bid for anything that Brian took a fancy to, because few people could plumb the depths of the powerful financial resources of the Yun Company.
"A spendthrift, a spendthrift!" Charles shook his head and said disapprovingly. "He had already spent ten million, which was really a treasure trove. He is quite the splurge by nature."
"What? Are you jealous?" raising her chin with one hand placed on the armrest of her chair, Emily asked jokingly.
"Well, if I wanted to, I could be freer and easier with money than he is. But as a good man, I know how to live economically. You should be contented to have a son like me!" Charles spoke quite confidently. How would Brian feel if he heard these words?
"Oh, I don't think so." Emily's words frustrated Charles and brought him low. But he had already become used to it.
Suddenly, a dazzling red light was reflected in Emily's eyes from the blood-red bracelet shining charmingly on the stage. Everyone could sense the flow of energy in the jewels' veins.
It was quite compatible with a pragmatical temperament. The patterns on the stones were exquisite and meticulous. It was said that it took one thousand years to form, one thousand years to be polished, and one thousand years to be found. It was laden with the memories of the stone flowers waiting in the netherworld for their lifetime, which imbued it with a rich meaning.
