Some people felt that Helen would not make an appearance because they believed that the Schulz family would certainly pressure Helen in regards to this matter. In any case, they would never allow her to embarrass the Schulz family. 4
At the same time, some people felt that since Helen had already gone to Aurous Hill to visit Curtis's former residence, and since she had even registered to participate in this auction, based on her personality, even if someone were to threaten her, she would certainly show up for the auction. 5
Therefore, the people in Eastcliff even started placing bets on whether Helen would appear at the auction or not. 2
The Dunn family mansion in Aurous Hill.
Helen was already ready. 3
She had already made up her mind that she would have to show up at this auction. So, even though the Schulz family had a very big opinion in regards to this matter, she was still determined to set off.
The pair of siblings, Jaime and Sophie, were already standing by Helen’s door early in the morning. As soon as Helen opened her room door, the pair of brother and sister immediately saw their mother, who was dressed very formally.
Jaime immediately felt very anxious, and he blurted out, "Mom! Are you really going to participate in that auction?"
Helen nodded slightly and said, "I have already signed up for it. So, how could I possibly not attend the auction?"
Sophie said anxiously, "Mom! You cannot attend the auction. My friend told me that everyone in Eastcliff is paying close attention to you now. They said that if you are indeed going to attend the auction today, the Schulz family would certainly lose all of their face and reputation..."
Helen said earnestly, “I am not the person who is going to determine the Schulz family's face and reputation. The Schulz family's face and reputation are determined entirely by the decisions and actions o f the people from the Schulz family itself. Your grandfather and father's actions are the key people who would directly affect the face and reputation of the Schulz family."
