Chapter 44
“Did anything happen at the auction house?” Mnie asked.
Jeff’s face immediately fell as he heard her question.
“Ms. Robertson, I’m afraid the auctioneer of the Fashion Art Auction can’t make it,” he replied.
“What happened?”
Mnie’s heart skipped a beat.
The entire spring auction had dozens of auctions. The auctioneers, lots, and event bidders had all
been confirmed in advance.
If anything went wrong, it would be disastrous for the whole auction.
“What about the other auctioneers? Let Patricia Novak fill her in,” Mnie said, pinching the middle
between her eyebrows.
“I’m afraid not. Patricia went to Solustria and won’t return until tonight. There is only one hour before
the auction begins. Patricia will never make it back,” Jeff said helplessly.
Hearing this, Mnie was burning with anger.
“Jeff, didn’t you know how long we nned the spring auction? How could such a thing happen at
this time?”
“Ms. Robertson, none of us wanted that. The auctioneer suddenly had a rpse. She is still in the
hospital now,” Jeff replied, looking around the room.
“Didn’t you hire a young auctioneer? Why not let him host the auction?”
“Which auctioneer did I hire? Can you be more specific?” Mnie asked.
She had a bad headache because she didn’t sleep well the night before. But now the auctioneer
suddenly became ill and her head was about to explode. Jeff was also puzzled. There was no sign
of Ethan in the office.
“Isn’t there a child in your office? He came to thepany early in the morning
and stated that he was an auctioneer you hired,” Jeff replied.
As soon as Mnie heard Jeff’s description, she knew it was Ethan.
“Isn’t it a lovely boy in a ck hoodie?” she asked.
“Yes. Where is he? He said he would wait for you in your office,” Jeff asked, confused. He began to
look around the office again.
“Don’t look for him. He is sleeping in the lounge. He’s not a small auctioneer but my son.”
As Mnie spoke, she quickly looked through the Fashion Art Auction List.
She didn’t notice the surprised look in Jeff’s eyes. She would let Angie host the auction if she had
to.
Suddenly, the door of the lounge opened and Ethan walked out.
“Mommy, I’m an auctioneer.”
As soon as Mnie saw Ethan waking up, she asked Jeff to grab some food for Ethan.
“Ethan…”
Mnie put Ethan on the sofa, ready to admonish him for running away from home.
Unexpectedly, Ethan threw himself into her arms and began to cry as soon as she spoke.
“Mommy, you’re too partial. You let Elias stay here but sent me back to the ind. You didn’t love
me at all.”
Mnie opened her mouth to speak and then closed it.
“Ethan, I don’t want to separate from you either. But if I don’t send you back to the ind, they’ll
take all of you away from me,” she exined.
Ethan raised his face and blinked his bright eyes. “Who will take us away? Is it Daddy?”
“Yes, I don’t want to lose you guys,” Mnie said, holding Ethan in her arms.
“But I heard from Elias that Daddy was a very nice person, and the Lambert family was also very
kind.”
Hearing Elias‘ words, Mnie suddenly felt bad.
“You contacted Elias. Did he ask you toe to Zerivia?”
“No. I missed him so much that I contacted him. Don’t worry, Mommy. No one else knows,” Ethan
replied.
“That’s good. I will bring Elias home tonight and you two can meet each other. But you have to go
back to the ind with Uncle Enzo tomorrow, okay?”
Elias‘ eyes shed. He then lowered his head and said obediently, “Okay, whatever you say.”
Jeff brought a lot of delicious food.
Seeing that Ethan ate happily and agreed to go back to the ind, Mnie felt relieved.
When she was about to have a good chat with Ethan, he said he would like to watch. the auction.
Jeff also volunteered to take Ethan to watch the auction of Rising Star. Mnie agreed after
thinking for a while.
There were ten minutes till the Fashion Art Auction began. Angie hadn’t arrived
yet.
Mnie couldn’t think about anything else right now. She had to get to the auction. hall to keep the
situation under control.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she heard Jeff’s voice on the speaker.
“I’m sorry, everyone. The original auctioneer was unable to host the auction due to a sudden illness.
But you can rest assured that we’ve specifically invited Ethan as our guest auctioneer.”
“No!”
Mnie ran to the venue and saw Ethan standing on the auction block in a ck shiny suit.

Just when she thought Ethan would be booed out of the auction block, there was a huge cheer.
she wondered, ‘What’s going on?‘
A childish voice was heard.
“Thank you for your love, everyone. You’re right, everyone. I’m Ethan Robertson, the auctioneer
who won the title of “White Glove” at the Royal Auction in Tooncen and set a record for twelve
straight white glove sales.”
As soon as Ethan finished his words, the whole audience burst into apuse again!
“What the hell? When did that happen?” Mnie muttered.

She hurriedly took out her phone and googled the video of the Royal Auction in
Tooncen.
She then saw Ethan in a ck suit standing on the high auction block. He pounded his gavel as he
closed bidding.
“Lot 4032, “Behind the Smile” is the only fabric painting in the world. 1,500,000 dors. Going once,
going twice, sold!”
“Lot 4042, “Empty Fingers“, a sculpture from the sculptor Chris Norman, 900,000 dors! Going
once, going twice, sold!”
“Shit!”
It urred to Mnie that every auction had a live video.
Even if the Lambert family didn’t attend the auction, they would understood everything once saw
these videos.
Mnie’s heart immediately sank.
She wished she would rush to the auction block, drag Ethan away, and send him back to the ind
right away.
Just as she was in a dilemma, a low voice suddenly sounded.
“M…”
“Elias went into the venue with my mother,” Roderick replied.
