My Destined Lover

The vendor couldn’t stop smiling as he took the money, “If you didn’t know the worth of it, I wouldn’t have wanted to sell it to you at a higher price.”

Laura kept her smile, “Thank you. May I have this.”

Her long fingertips pointed at the copper coin she had just picked up. The stall owner glanced at it and waved his hand indifferently, “Just take it, you can take a few more.”

Anyway, that jade bowl had already made him a lot of money, so it doesn’t matter for a little loss.

“No, that’s enough.” Laura pinched the copper coins and threw them into the jade bow. After hearing a tinkling sound, as expected, she stands up in satisfaction.

Seeing that she turned around and was about to leave, the stall owner couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He laughed at the surrounding stall owners and said, “I’ve never seen such a foolish person with so much money!”

The other stall owners were envious, but they all laughed together and said, “When is this going to happen to us…”

When Marcus heard these jeers, he frowned and tried to say something. But Laura suddenly covered his mouth and shook her head. “Don’t mind them. I’ll tell you more about it later.”

Marcus was indeed confused but kept his mouth shut because he believed Laura had her reasons for doing that.

They were just about to find a place to have a chat when Laura was suddenly stopped by a well-dressed older man. “Lady! Lady! Please wait a minute!”

Laura turned around in confusion and saw the old man running up to her, panting, and saying eagerly, “The ancient coin you bought, miss, may I see it?”

“You mean this?” Laura grabbed the copper coin in the jade bowl, saying casually, “Yes.”

The old man took out a folded gold-rimmed glasses from his jacket pocket and put them on. He carefully held the ancient coin and looked at it. After several minutes, he raised his head excitedly, “How much did you pay for this? I offer five times of it, can you sell it to me?”

This statement caused a stir around.

“God, five times, isn’t that half a million?”

“No way? Is that coin worth that much?”

“It’s a scam, I’m afraid it’s just a blank check to pick up the coin and run.”

The old man heard the questioning voice and seemed afraid that Laura would refuse the transaction because of it. He panicked and took out a certificate from his pocket.

“Hello, my name is Carl. This is my certificate of senior cultural relic connoisseur, I sincerely want to buy your ancient coin, definitely not a fraud!”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Marcus was slightly surprised at the name marked on the certificate, and said to Laura, “He is one of the Miller family. His family deals in antiques. Don’t worry about him being a fraud.”

Laura glanced at him and suddenly asked, “What’s the relationship between you two family?”

Although he didn’t know why she asked that, Marcus answered truthfully, “The Browns have always cooperated with the Millers – mainly because Carl was a good person, so we don’t have to worry about him playing tricks behind our back.”

“Oh–” Laura drawled and nodded to Marcus, “I see.”
