Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 123 A Knot

Melinda tried to stifle a laugh as she observed the scene in front of her. Now she saw a new side of Leo. Even though he looked friendly, he would ignore those he didn't like.

To people like Yulia, he acted formal and a bit arrogant.

Melinda couldn't help but recall what her teacher had said, "People who engage in artistic creation are full of arrogance."

However, for this arrogance, if one was qualified then it was admirable. Otherwise, it would turn out as a big joke.

Obviously, Leo was qualified to do that.

Yulia was still unwilling to give up. The party had been packed with guests who were animatedly conversing with one another. After a while, Emily returned to her seat which was reserved next to Queena as soon as she was done entertaining a group of people.

"Everything's going well today," Queena said.

Emily smiled at the woman before seating down. She felt grateful that Queena had reserved her a seat.

"As long as it benefits the poor children," Emily replied. She acted modestly and thanked Queena for saving her a seat.

"I didn't expect that you would auction one of my paintings today."

Despite showing a stoic demeanor, Queena was delighted. She scanned the hall and noticed the envious looks her friends had been giving.

Emily nodded in understanding. "These people know how to identify the value of these things. Your work was able to accumulate a winning bid of ten million for today."

The truth was that Queena's paintings were worth nothing at all. The reason that she had managed to catch a hefty price for it was because Emily had purposely invited several rich men at today's banquet, who had been longing to have sex with her.

If Nelson were here, he would thought that the painting wouldn't be worth a single penny.

"I'll have to give you the credit. Will the proceeds be donated to the needs of the poor children?"

Queena figured that a lot were obviously cheated from tonight's auction. She knew that the total amount raised was huge.

"I've found a foundation and asked my people to deal and follow up with it to make sure that the money won't be used for personal greed," Emily answered.

Upon hearing this, the ladies around the hall started to praise her thoughtfulness on the matter.

Queena had a proud look on her face while Emily was being praised. It almost looked like Emily was her daughter.

Melinda felt left out while the two ladies continued to chat. Yulia didn't notice this as all of her attention had been focused on Leo.

"Mom, the auction is almost over. I'd like to go home and rest."
