If the video spread, she would be mocked!
“What do you want from me?”
Emily forced herself to appear calm and friendly.
The waiter said,
“This is for you.”
He opened his palm, revealing the third bottle of red ink.
Emily was surprised.
She felt that this waiter had a crush on her.
He bought the bottle of red ink in order to make her happy.
They didn’t need to send two bottles of red ink to Philip’s mentor in exchange for The Beauty.
“Did you buy it for me?”
Emily took the red ink and examined it carefully.
The waiter blinked in confusion.
He quickly explained,
“Oh, no, you got it wrong. It’s from a young lady.”
The waiter took a deep breath and continued,
“She said that even though your cosmetics are cheap, you shouldn’t casually damage them. So, she gave you this bottle of red ink just to make sure you wouldn’t continue smashing things when you return home.”
At first, Emily thought that someone wanted to collaborate with the Hill family.
Or perhaps they wanted to manipulate the Hill family. They recognized her and wanted to use this bottle of red ink to establish a favor.
Since everyone here was influential, it wasn’t surprising that she was recognized. She just wondered who it was.
But when the waiter finished speaking, Emily’s face turned pale.
She immediately thought of the fox mask and the mocking eyes behind it.
That woman did it on purpose!
Emily clenched her teeth.
She quickly recalled if she had offended anyone recently. Even when she didn’t know she was the fake daughter of the Hill family, she had tried to get close to the noble ladies in Geniston.
After learning that she was the fake daughter, she became even more cautious.
In the end, she framed Sandra and pretended to be unconscious for some time. She hadn’t offended anyone.
If she had, it would only be Sandra!
But that didn’t make sense.
Even if Sandra was favored by Wesley, he wouldn’t come here to verify her finances for Sandra.
If the Cooper family found out, they might give Wesley trouble.
Emily gently pressed her chest and pushed the thought out of her head.
It couldn’t be Sandra!
Otherwise…
She looked at the backs of her five brothers.
Actually, she had sensed that something was off.
Gary’s and Kyle’s attitudes today were a bit peculiar.
Although they still loved her, she felt a slight lack of sincerity in that affection.
She rubbed her forehead.
It was just an illusion!
She told herself not to think too much.
Her five brothers had watched her grow up, and they loved her unconditionally.
She shouldn’t doubt their feelings for her.
“Guys.”
She took a deep breath and clenched the red ink.
“Wait for me.”
As Sandra and Wesley walked out of the auction, they exchanged glances.
They saw a hint of inquiry in each other’s eyes.
Sandra spoke first.
“Mr. Cooper, we’re not a real couple. I don’t think it’s necessary to dig too deep. What do you say?”
Wesley remained expressionless.
It seemed that he didn’t care about it at all.
“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as a yes.”
Wesley was speechless.
Sandra turned and headed toward the parking lot without looking back.
Joey felt anxious beside Wesley.
“Mr. Cooper.”
His voice quivered.
“Should I investigate Mrs. Cooper?”
Weslof the Cooper family was shrewd, but Baxter played a ard asking.
Joey felt the need to say it for him.
Then, he saw Wesley, who had always been indifferent, look somewhat proud.
“You won’t find anything.”
Joey was puzzled.
He didn’t understand what Wesley meant.
Wesley had been in a coma for several years, but he used to have an extensive network of information sources.
Investigating a woman should be a simple task. Besides, Sandra had lived in a small village before, leading a simple life with a simple network of connections. It should be easy to investigate her. However, Wesley claimed that he couldn’t find anything? Joey couldn’t tell if Wesley believed his network wasn’t reliable anymore or if he was just too confident in Sandra.
“Ahem.”
Joey cleared his throat awkwardly.
“Mr. Cooper, rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate!”
Wesley was speechless.
He really wanted a new assistant, but he couldn’t do it right now.
“When will Leo be back?”
Joey asked.
“Mr. Cooper, do you think I’m useless?”
Wesley nodded.
“You have a good sense of self-awareness.”
Joey felt like crying.
He wasn’t as good as Leo in his boss’s eyes!
The next day,
As soon as Sandra woke up, she heard some news.
Ben tweeted that Philip was his best disciple ever. He spoke highly of Philip.
But it didn’t make any sense.
Ben was considered the best painter in Helwanis.
His works had once been called “national treasures.”
Joey frowned.
“Mr. Harrison is the renowned painter who collaborated with the design department. His standards are incredibly high. What’s wrong with him?”
Although Philip had some talent, his painting skills were only average.
If he wasn’t the son of the Hill family, his paintings wouldn’t attract any attention in the market. How could Ben make such a ridiculous statement?
Joey stared at his phone screen with a frown.
“Loren is more trustworthy as a master painter.”
Sandra blinked her eyes.
Joey noticed it and asked, surprised.
“Mrs. Cooper, do you know Loren?”
Sandra shook her head.
“No.”
Her answer was straightforward.
