NovelEnglishpter 173 Surprise
Lydia was truly afraid that if her daughter continued to stay with Emrys, her daughter would get dragged into
trouble. The incident with Erwin was still fresh on her mind.
At that moment, she heard someone talking nearby.
Lydia was just about to respond, but suddenly her heart tightened. It was because that voice sounded somewhat
familiar to her.
Thus, she glanced at the person.
Darn it! Even with all her self-restraint, Lydia couldn't help but curse inwardly, her face instantly turning
incredibly unsightly.
After all, the person sitting next to her was none other than Emrys.
“This is the VIP section. How did you end up sitting here... Ah, | see, it must have been arranged by Roger.” Lydia
quickly found an excuse, cast a disdainful glance at Emrys, and then switched seats with her husband, Richard.
“Mr. Youngblood, you don’t seem to be in a good mood today?” Emrys said to Richard with a smile.
Richard's face darkened instantly. How can | be in a good mood running into you?
Naturally, he ignored Emrys.

Emrys found himself bored, silently waiting for the auction to begin. The host made the opening remarks,
followed by the introduction of the special guests, and then the president's speech...
Emrys naturally fell asleep.
He had already informed Chandler and Roger in advance to conceal his identity as Emerentius to avoid attracting
fans demanding autographs and photos, which would be quite troublesome.
Therefore, both of them tactfully refrained from disturbing him.
Emrys had an extremely restful sleep. No matter how intense the surrounding bidding sounds were, it seemed as
if they had nothing to do with him.
Upon seeing him sound asleep, Richard and Lydia felt an even greater disdain. They believe a pheasant would
always be a pheasant, and that even if it adorned a golden tail, it could never beca true phoenix.
In the latter half of the auction, Emrys finally woke up.
After all, the main event had arrived.
The host announced, “In fact, we at the auction house have ten more artistic autographed photos of Mr.
Emerentius. They will be given out as gifts later on.”
“What? Mr. Emerentius’ artistic autographed photo?”

Chapter 173 Surprise
“The art world’s most mystérious superstar is finally going to reveal himself? I'm so excited!”
The entire auction house instantly erupted into a frenzy, especially among those in the calligraphy and painting
circles. They idolized Emerentius, and upon hearing that news, they were on the verge of fainting from sheer
excitement.
The host chuckled and said, “These ten artistic autographed art photos will be given away for free to ten guests
present here today, chosen by a random draw. However, there's a catch. The lucky winners must first try out a
facial mask.”
Facial mask? How did Emerentius’ artistic autographed photo get associated with a facial mask? The crowd
wondered.
However, the crowd didn’t really care about that or applying a facial mask. As long as they could obtain
Emerentius’ artistic autographed photo, they wouldn't even mind putting pickled vegetables on their faces.
The anticipation was palpable among the masses.
Thus, the host began to draw lots.

Of course, aside from the three random numbers, the remaining seven were pre-set. They corresponded to the
seat numbers of several wealthy ladies at the scene, whose complexions were not particularly good.
Soon, the results of the lottery were announced.
Behind Lydia, in the row of VIP seats, a wealthy lady had won a prize.
Her nwas Jacinda. Although she was quite attractive, her skin was a bit darker. In the socialite circles of
Jazona, she was known as “Suntanned Beauty,” a title that put her on par with Lydia, who was known as
“Gorgeous Ginger.”
Most importantly, she and Lydia were best friends, often arranging to get their hair done together whenever they
had free time.
Winning the prize this tfilled Jacinda with delightful surprise.
Ladies of their high society stature, like her, had extremely high standards when it cto skincare products.
Once they committed to a brand, they rarely switched to another on a whim.
The facial masks produced by the Youngblood family were the best among all brands. Jacinda, being Lydia's best
friend, had always used the facial masks made by the Youngblood family.
If it had been any other time, she would have certainly been reluctant to switch to a different type of facial mask.
However, things were different.
Jacinda was a devoted fan of Emerentius. She had attended the auction in Jadeborough last time, participating in
the bidding. Therefore, in order to obtain Emerentius’ artistic autographed photo, Jacinda was willing to use her
own face as an experiment.
