Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 11 Glorify Themselves The artworks of that painter generally fetched around one million at auction.

If it were to be sold on that street, without being auctioned, it could probably fetch around five hundred thousand.

At that time, she was solely focused on getting a birthday gift for Luna, never considering selling 1. it.

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 the market.

Moreover, it was rare to find someone who could flawlessly restore such a severely damaged. antique painting to the point where no imperfections could be detected.

Excitement laced David's voice when he said, "Nyour price for this painting! But, young lady. you must tell me, who restored this painting?" Previously, he had acquired two severely damaged paintings in his shop at a low price. He had been searching for a restorer, but no one was willing to take on the task, claiming that the damage. to the paintings was too extensive.

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.

Aurelia didn't seem very old, but restoring antique paintings was no child's play.

1/4 20% OFF "Yes." Aurelia nodded.

David scrutinized Aurelia carefully. Young people of today seem to enjoy fabricating stories, glorifying themselves unnecessarily. She seems very composed, though. Either way, I must buy her painting.

"I happen to have two paintings that need restoration. If they can be successfully restored, I'm willing to pay at least half a million for each painting. If there are any elders in your family who might be interested, perhaps you could mention it to them," David uttered, undeterred. It would be best if this young lady could bring her elders from hover here.

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 before their eyes.

Aurelia was in need of money. Upon hearing David's words, she becinterested. "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 boast or exaggerate.

Almost as if guided by sinexplicable force, David felt that there was nothing to lose. Given that no one else was taking up the task, he decided it wouldn't hurt to let her give it a try.

The two then proceeded to sign the contract.

In the end, David purchased Aurelia's painting for five hundred thousand. Aurelia did not haggle over the price, considering it was fair. After all, even though the painting was a work from the High Middle Ages, it was not created by a renowned artist.

When Aurelia left the antique street, it was already three in the afternoon.

Starting from the next day, she would go to the shop for restoration works between nine in the morning and three in the afternoon.

She knew that David didn't quite trust her. However, she was certain that his doubts would dissipate when he saw her begin restoring the antique paintings the next day.

After studying with Hannah for so many years, she was quite confident.

Meanwhile, as soon as Matthew stepped out of the airport in Lofbury, he got into the car heading toward the branch office.

On the side. Gordon, known for his high efficiency, opened his lapton, receiving various ԺՈ A1 3:17 PM d 20% OFF 0 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 cpouring out from Mabel over the phone. "Why did you go to Lofbury? Weren't you supposed to have a meal with Auri to foster saffection? What kind of work is so urgent that you have to rush there even after a car accident? Are we, Quigley Group, nurturing incompetents? Are you so busy that you don't even have tfor your own major life events?" 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 stranger?" Mabel was quite displeased with Matthew. His aloof demeanor could potentially scare Auri away! A while ago, she was watching a romance reality show when she saw an aloof male guest. She felt. like slapping him across the face when she saw him trying to impress others by acting cold and distant. Let's see how he reacts when the girl he likes gets taken away by someone else. He'll probably go hide and cry in his bed! "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 relationship with the Leedon family?"

"It seems that the Leedon family isn't very satisfied with Ms. Shaw. Now, the few families that the Leedon family is close close with are unaware of Ms. Shaw's existence," Gordon truthfully reported.

Matthew seemed lost in thought. It seems that the conditions previously proposed by Aurelia were merelyn expressions of her dissatisfaction toward the Leedon family. What a childish girl... However, I've already made her a promise. I won't go back on my word. After leaving the antique street, Aurelia headed to the shopping mall and bought shousehold items.

dib Beside the shopping mall was a car dealership, and she wanted to buy a car as a means of ☐ O A1 Chapter 11 Glorify Themselves Finished 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 beca 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, handsface. The past events played out before her eyes like an movie, finally pausing at the scene where he was entwined with Melanie. With a cold and stiff hand, she raised her phone and unhesitatingly took a photo. After leaving the antique street, Aurelia headed to the shopping mall and bought shousehold items.
