The art exhibition lasted for three days. Even though it did not garner the interest of professionals, there were still a lot of people who came and visited because of Emily's popularity. The event went pretty well because of her promotion.

On the last day, Emily personally went over there, and the small venue was jam-packed with her fans.

For the occasion, she wore a lemon yellow dress, paired with white block heels. After greeting the people there, Emily went over to the reception room. Queena was already there, sitting with a smile on her face.

Emily promptly sat across from her and reached out for a cup of tea on the coffee table.

"Huge crowd out there. Looks like your works are really popular," she commented.

Today, her lips were painted in a bright red color, making her look elegant and lovely. There was a gentleness in her eyes as she brought the porcelain green cup to her mouth, taking a sip of the warm tea.

As she spoke with Queena, Emily deliberately sat in a rather reserved manner.

"That's only true because you're here," Queena countered lightly. "After I close up the exhibition, you should come back home with me and have dinner. I already told the servants to prepare something special for you."

The success of the exhibit was largely because of Emily's involvement. Because of her support, Queena naturally wanted to make it up to her.

A flash of shrewdness appeared across Emily's eyes. For a second, she appeared hesitant. After thinking for a while, she took a big breath in. "I don't think that's a good idea. From what I know, Melinda doesn't like me very much," she said.

"Nonsense. You are my guest. Besides, since when does the Gu family care about what she wants?"

Queena frowned tightly, the top of her forehead creasing slightly. Carefully, she placed her teacup back on the table. There was an aura of grace about her as she put down the cup without making a single sound.

"Ah, well... I don't want to intrude and disturb you," Emily responded.

"What are you talking about? It would be my pleasure to have you there! If it weren't for you, this exhibition wouldn't have been so successful in the first place. Don't worry about Melinda. She's just enjoying all the benefits this family has to offer and has never done anything in return."

For a brief moment, there was an look of anger on Queena's face. It was apparent that she disapproved of Jonas and Nelson's actions, and that she was deeply upset with Melinda. In her opinion, Emily was a much better person than Melinda was.

"Actually, Melinda is pretty good—"

"All right, let's stop talking about her now," Queena interrupted with a forced smile. "I'm going to head outside to check up on things. Besides, it's almost time to pack everything up."

With that, she stood up and walked out the room. As soon as she opened the door, the excited chatter of Emily's fans greeted her. All of them were waiting to see more of Emily.

There were only a few people here really to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings. Thinking about this, Queena had a strange feeling deep in her heart, but she just shrugged it off.

After everything was sorted out and neatly packed up, Queena took Emily back to the Gu's mansion. As they arrived there, Gavin subtly raised his brow in surprise.

On the other hand, Yulia was very happy to see Emily. She even volunteered to make some juice for them in the kitchen.
