Soon, she found an antique shop and went in.
Upon seeing that it was a young lady, the boss merely glanced up, his demeanor cold and indifferent.
The owners of these antique shops had sharp eyes. At a single glance, they could tell that Aurelia was not there to make a purchase.
“Boss, do you want to buy an antique painting from the High Middle Ages?”
The owner of the antique shop, David Zober, abruptly looked up. “A painting from the High Middle Ages?”
“Yes,” Aurelia took out the painting from her bag.
The painting was spread out before David.
Upon seeing the impeccably restored antique painting, David’s eyes widened in awe. He knew that a bigwig in Jacaster had a penchant for collecting antique paintings, particularly those from the High Middle Ages. However, paintings from that era were scarce in

He didn’t mind spending money on paintings, he just felt it was a pity about the two pieces.
Unexpectedly, the young lady who had casually arrived that day might have been the solution to his pressing problem.
“It was I who restored it,” Aurelia said with a smile.
David was taken aback. “You restored it?” he asked doubtfully.

For someone who wasn’t exactly an expert in the industry, a reward of half a million was quite substantial. It was even enough to purchase the painting b their eyes.
Aurelia was in need of money. Upon hearing David’s words, she became interested. “Show me,” she said.
Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day. David took Aurelia to examine two damaged paintings.
The extent of the damage was no less than the painting she held.
However, she was quite busy back then and often had to donate blood, so the restoration took a bit longer than usual.
“I’ll do it!” Aurelia made the decision.
It was then that David realized that the young lady in front of him, although not very old and quite beautiful, gave off a sense that she wasn’t one to boas

He then reported any doubts to Matthew.
Suddenly, the ring of an incoming call on a phone interrupted Gordon’s report.
Matthew answered the phone. “Yes, Grandma?”
Accusations came pouring out from Mabel over the phone. “Why did you go to Lofbury? Weren’t you supposed to have a meal with Auri to foster some a
Although the car was in motion, it was so quiet that Gordon could hear everything clearly.
He immediately turned his head toward the window. I’m going to act like I haven’t heard anything!
Matthew glanced at Gordon. While rubbing his forehead, Matthew replied, “Grandma, Ms. Shaw also has matters to attend to.”
“I told you to call her Auri. You two are already married. You guys are husband and wife! Why are you calling her Ms. Shaw, making it seem like she’s a

“I don’t care. As soon as you’re done, hurry back. I always feel that Auri is hiding something in her heart. It’s heartbreaking to see a little girl trying to bear it all by herself.” Mabel let out a soft sigh.
Matthew recalled the conditions Aurelia had proposed while signing the agreement in front of the City Hall.
He then keenly sensed a possible connection with the Leedon family.
“All right. I’ll return as soon as possible,” Matthew responded.
After hanging up the phone, Matthew turned to Gordon and said, “In the information you gathered about Aurelia, was there any mention of her relationsh

Starry Sea Mansion was not located in the city area, making it rather inconvenient to get in and
out without a car.
One could purchase a new energy car for around one hundred thousand.
While choosing a car, Aurelia noticed a couple outside.
It was Curtis and Melanie.
Their fingers interlocked, and Melanie’s face still held traces of her unresolved anger. Curtis was ceaselessly trying to appease her.
They were both good–looking, so wherever they went, they became a sight to behold.
People passing by were looking at them with envy.
Yet, Aurelia’s face was ashen, devoid of any expression.
She gazed at Curtis‘ familiar, handsome face. The past events played out before her eyes like a movie, finally pausing at the scene where he was entwin
