Hayden seemed to have something urgent, so he informed Emilia and left. “Ms. Saunders!” As soon as Hayden left, a man eagerly came forward. “I’ve long admired your great name, Ms. Saunders. I didn’t expect you to attend this auction. I wonder which precious item you have set your sights on. I’m sure you’re determined to acquire it, right?”
With that, the man swiftly handed over his business card.
Emilia lowered her gaze and realized he was Jasper Lewis, the general manager of Aurete Corporation, which had recently been collaborating with Saunders Group.
“Yes, there is indeed something I’m interested in,” Emilia politely replied to Jasper’s friendly gesture.
Emilia forcefully regained control of the Saunders Group and had many interpersonal relationships to manage, including spreading her reputation. So, naturally, she would not be as indifferent to everything as Nathan appeared to be.
Jasper was eager to continue collaborating with the Saunders Group and displayed an exceptionally enthusiastic attitude. “Oh? I wonder which precious item it is. Why don’t you tell me so I can contribute to the cause?”
Jasper wanted to align with Saunders Group, and other companies were unwilling to be left behind too.
So, with Jasper taking the lead, many other companies‘ general managers gathered around Emilia.
“Ms. Saunders‘ abilities speak for itself. Today, Ms. Saunders‘ presence at this auction has elevated the event to another level!”
“Yes! If I had known Ms. Saunders was coming, I would have brought the sapphire necklace from Harfush that I recently purchased to show it to you!”
“Your sapphire may not be considered a rare item. I’ve been wanting to send that set of Harfush rosewood furniture from my home to Ms. Saunders for a while.
but I just haven’t had the chance!”
now,
At that moment, a group of people surrounded Emilia, all expressing their desire to flatter her.
Emilia found herself at the center of the crowd and had to suppress a hint of impatience as she responded to each of them with a gentle attitude.
As the chairman of a conglomerate, Emilia preferred loyal and honest. individuals.
However, she also had to admit those cunning and opportunistic individuals, although not always trustworthy, often were more useful.
That was because they were ambitious.

“I’ve heard a set of antique porcelain bowls will be on display today, and I’m quite interested in them. So, I hope everyone will bid generously.”
Since the auction house had organized the banquet for guests to socialize, no one

needed to hide their intentions. That was why Emilia voiced out her?
directly.
Jasper exclaimed, “Oh, those antique porcelain bowls are beautiful! I had considered them before. But since they are Ms. Saunders‘ favorites, we certainly won’t interfere anymore, right, everyone?”
“Yes, yes!”
After all, those cunning individuals showed some tact. With Jasper’s declaration, most people expressed they would no longer participate in the bidding for the set of antique porcelain bowls.
“In that case, I would like to thank all of you here,” Emilia said with a faint smile and nodded slightly, offering a small gesture of gratitude to everyone.
Many of those present displayed surprised and flattered expressions, clearly not expecting Emilia to be such a gentle person.
However, it was precisely Emilia’s actions that won over the crowd’s heart and further ignited their determination to collaborate with the Saunders Group. However, Emilia’s seemingly casual remark did not go unnoticed by the astute individuals in the room.
At that moment, Fiona, who had just arrived at the auction venue, was looking around, trying to spot Nathan.
“Mom! Why hasn’t Nathan arrived yet?”
There was a woman who was standing beside Fiona and linking her arm with her. This woman who exuded an air of wealth and sophistication, and was dressed elegantly, was Nathan’s sister, Caroline Miller.
“It should be any moment now!” Fiona glanced towards the entrance but did not see Nathan’s car. “Nathan already told you to focus on your studies at school. You insisted on coming along. If he scolds you again, don’t cry!”
Caroline was still a university student.
“I don’t care! I heard from my classmates a pair of emerald earrings personally carved by Mr. Anderson is in today’s auction! Mom, you have to ensure Nathan buys them for me no matter what!”
Nathan came to the auction to buy jewelry for Jessica. Yet, Caroline also wanted jewelry to flaunt at school, so she insisted on coming to join the excitement. “All right, I’ll have Nathan buy it for you!”
During their conversation, Fiona noticed a group of people gathering not far away. “Caroline, do you see all those people gathered there? Could Nathan be among them?”

“No, that’s the chairman of Saunders Group.”

After all, Caroline was still young. Her ears were much more perceptive than Fiona’s, and she had already overheard others discussing the chairman of Saunders Group.
Caroline rolled her eyes and muttered, feeling a tinge of jealousy in her heart. After all, there was a great difference between the title of the second daughter of the Miller family and the prestigious position of the chairman of the Saunders Group.
The chairman of the Saunders Group?”
Having lived in Radford for many years, Fiona, of course, heard of Saunders Group’s name, and her face immediately lit up with delight. “I’ve heard the daughter of the Saunders family has returned. Making friends with such an influential figure will surely be of great help to Nathan!”
With that, Fiona hurriedly grabbed Caroline’s arm and briskly walked toward the crowd surrounding Emilia.
“Mom! Her last name is Saunders!” Caroline resisted reluctantly, stepping back and holding onto Fiona tightly, unwilling to let the latter go and flatter the woman with the last name Saunders.
Although Jessica had a limp, she had always provided financial support to Caroline. Otherwise, with Nathan’s control over the latter, she would not have such a carefree life at school.
Therefore, Caroline, who always acted recklessly, despised those who pretended to be good, especially Emilia, who always tried to persuade her to study diligently.
“What’s wrong with the Saunders surname? She’s not like that beggar Emilia. That woman is the daughter of the Saunders family! If she becomes the Miller family’s daughter–in–law, the entire economy of Radford will practically be under our control!TM
As she spoke, Fiona’s eyes began to reveal a yearning expression.
She thought. “If those ladies and daughters of prominent families find out the esteemed chairman of Saunders Group is ughter–in–law, I’ll be super
proud.”
