DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 176
Chapter 176 Another Uproar
They finally understood why Emrys was adamant about establishing a branch office. It wasn’t because he lacked decision–making skills, but rather, he possessed absolute confidence.
Simply relying on that one type of facial mask was enough to sustain a company worth billions!
That was the shift in Elaine’s team’s attitude toward Emrys.
However, they only knew half of the story, not the whole.
Emrys had decided to establish a branch office in Summerbank, but he had another goal in mind. He wanted to demonstrate his absolute dominance to the numerous enterprises in Jazona.
He aimed to spread a message that went something like, “I am here, right in front of you all, to tell you that I am coming to take over your market. If you have the guts, go ahead and keep suppressing me!”
He especially wanted the Youngblood family to heed his message. “You all think you’re so great, don’t you? Here, I’ll put my face right in front of you. If you have the guts, go ahead and slap me. If you don’t have the guts, then stop acting so high and mighty in front of me. I’m a savage? Well, in my eyes, your Youngblood family is nothing more than a pile of trash!”
That was Emrys‘ counterattack against Richard and Lydia. There was no need for excessive words because the charity auction was the best slap in the face.
As expected, the expressions on Richard’s and Lydia’s faces had indeed turned extremely gloomy.
They were unsure whether the new facial mask had any connection to Emrys, yet they couldn’t shake off the feeling that everything that day seemed to be unusually targeted toward their Youngblood family.
“D*mn it!” Lydia clenched her fist, fiercely pounding it against the armrest of the chair in anger.
At the scene, apart from Richard and Lydia, and a small portion of entrepreneurs involved in the skincare industry who were feeling downcast, the rest were extremely excited.
Rich ladies were especially thrilled.
They were truly eager, wishing they could see the new product of Cordelia Group launched tomorrow.
The rise of Cordelia Group was inevitable!
Once the emotions of the crowd had somewhat stabilized, the host took the microphone and said, “We thank Ms. Elaine. In fact, recommending this facial mask to everyone today was Mr. Emerentius‘ idea, as a way of reciprocating for the free artistic autographed photos.”
Everyone was astounded. So it was Mr. Emerentius‘ intention, no wonder…
Originally, the event was supposed to be a charity auction. However, it gradually morphed into a new product launch for Cordelia Group. If that was an unauthorized act by Jazona Charity Organization, it would be highly inappropriate. It strongly suggested the exploitation of charity as a gimmick to advertise and illicitly profit.

However, upon hearing that it was Emerentius‘ intention, it made much more sense.
If that was the case, it’d imply that Emerentius and Cordelia Group had a close relationship.
Otherwise, why would they advertise for Cordelia Group?
Clearly, Richard and Lydia had also thought of that. They exchanged glances, each seeing confusion in the other’s eyes. Emerentius has a connection with Cordelia Group, so why have we never heard Cordelia mention it before?
Of course, they couldn’t possibly know that Cordelia harbored resentment toward them, naturally not wanting to say more than necessary.
The scene once again returned to the auction stage.
The host said, “This time, Ms. Elaine has brought us a thousand samples of World–Enchanting Beauty facial masks. After the charity auction ends, we will present them as gifts to our guests. Of course, the quantity is limited, so those who don’t receive one shouldn’t be disheartened. Once the new products from Cordelia Group are launched, you can purchase them on your own.”
As his words fell, another wave of uproar ensued.
Meanwhile, the host also fulfilled his promise, presenting ten artistic autographed photos of Emerentius to the ten mask testers.
As she wished, Jacinda got an artistic autographed photo. Her heart was filled with anticipation. What did her idol, Emerentius, really look like, she wondered.
Even though she had fully prepared herself, she couldn’t help but gasp in surprise when her gaze fell upon the artistic autographed photo.
Most of the renowned masters of calligraphy and painting in the world were of a certain age.
While it was not difficult to get started with arts such as painting and calligraphy, expressing certain emotions and atmospheres through one’s work requires long periods of accumulated practice and refinement.
