Chapter 32
Emilia, who had been eavesdropping on the events transpiring in Jason’s office through a bugging device, maintained her usual icy demeanor.
She toyed with the custom–made pen in her hand and sneered once more. “It seems that these individuals are the embodiment of those who go for wool and return shorn.”
Despite hearing Rebecca’s agonized screams in the background as she mentally unraveled, Emilia didn’t exhibit a trace of sympathy toward her.
Emilia was acutely aware that had she not been prepared for it, the torment Rebecca was currently enduring would have fallen upon her instead. Meanwhile, in Jason’s office, Jason’s expression had turned exceptionally grim. “Why can’t it be deleted? Since I could invest so much money to make this issue trend, I can certainly spend money to have it removed! Just inform me of the cost,” Jason exclaimed.
When he heard his assistant mention the impossibility of deleting the trending topic, he pondered whether the media outlet would demand a substantial fee. If so, he had no alternative but to allocate the funds.
In the end, as long as the issue could be resolved, it was not a big deal.
Nevertheless, the assistant found himself in a predicament as well.
“Mr. Yates, according to the information I’ve gathered from the media outlet, money doesn’t seem to be the issue here. It appears that whenever they attempt to modify the trending topic, an unexpected glitch occurs in their system, leading to a loss of control. I…”
Simultaneously, Rebecca continued to dial in, causing Jason’s headache to intensify.
“It must be Emilia’s doings! Dad! She’s jealous of me! She is taking her revenge on
mel”
Upon hearing that someone had tampered with the trending topic on the other end of the line, Rebecca grew desperate. She harbored the intention of rushing to Saunders Group to confront Emilia.
While Jason also suspected that Emilia was largely responsible for the situation, he lacked concrete evidence to support this claim. Besides, this incident indicated. that there were likely other forces at play supporting Emilia.
“That’s enough! Look at yourself now!” Jason scolded, his tone tinged with exasperation as he became increasingly convinced that his daughter was impulsive.
“Dad! Are you planning to be Emilia’s lackey?”
Rebecca had never been scolded like this by Jason.

Jason felt a deep sense of grievance after hearing Rebecca’s words, especially when
she spoke so harshly. However, he was the one who initiated this matter. With his years of experience in controlling the Saunders Group, he knew better than to react recklessly when faced with such a turn of events.
“That’s sufficient. I understand your point. Don’t act rashly. I’ve underestimated. her this time. I never expected Emilia would conceal her abilities so well…” While Jason clenched his teeth with anger in his office, wishing to tear Emilia apart and suck her dry, Emilia was in a remarkably good mood in her own office. “What’s wrong?”
Seeing Hayden’s name on the screen, Emilia instantly grasped the purpose of his
call.
“Lia, are you okay?” Hayden’s smile subtly rekindled as he received a languid response from the person on the other side of the call, which seemed to indicate her undisturbed state. “It seems you’re in good spirits,” he remarked.
“Yes, I’m quite all right,” Emilia responded. Her eyebrow raised as she purposefully bantered with Hayden. “Are you not in a good mood? Tell me all about it so that I can have a good laugh,” she teased.
Emilia’s act of posing the patently evident, coupled with her teasing tone, left Hayden momentarily at a loss for words.
He harbored no doubt that Emilia, a cunning fox, must have discerned the purpose behind his call.
“Are you suggesting that you do not know about the incident that has stirred quite the commotion o

“What is the incident about? Is it perhaps some sensational gossip about a celebrity? The notion of being an object of desire is a realm quite distant from my own. So, naturally, I won’t be interested in it.”
Upon hearing Emilia’s unfeeling words, Hayden emitted a disdainful snort.
However, he couldn’t deny the veracity of Emilia’s statement. Indeed, her actions had left no discernible impact on him.
Furthermore, Hayden couldn’t help but observe that Emilia skillfully managed. public perception, resulting in a notable surge in his fan base.

You’re such an ingrate. Hayden scolded her playfully. “How could you? You’re not worried about causing trouble to me at all. By the way, the auction will be held tomorrow. I’ll come to pick you up.”
“The auction’s tomorrow?” Emilia repeated those words silently.
Subsequently, she recollected the antique porcelain bowls that Hayden had. mentioned to her earlier. It triggered memories of the time before her father’s passing, and this remembrance caused Emilia’s mood to take a sharp downturn. Simultaneously, the smiles in her eyes waned, and her chair stopped swaying. “Jason, given your heartlessness, do not blame me if I retaliate with less kindness. Causing you to lose all your social standing and reputation is merely my opening gambit!” Emilia contemplated.
“Okay!” Emilia replied readily.
She was eager to watch Jason’s reaction when he found out she had brought the antique porcelain bowls.
“However, can you seek a partner to help me in this endeavor? That particular item rightfully belongs to the Saunders family, and it’s my desire to reclaim it. Nonetheless, I have no intention of being taken advantage of in the process. I don’t want to expend more money than its inherent value warrants,” she stipulated.
Hayden may have been a conspicuous star on the surface, yet he was a regular attendee at auctions and various exclusive gatherings. Thus, he possessed an intimate knowledge of the intricate nuances of the clandestine protocols of those

“Very well!” Hayden promptly acquiesced. Whenever Emili resented a request, he was quick to consent, provided it was within his capab
