Chapter 654


    Aiken had seen Skr’s photo an hour ago. He had seen pictures of her from every angle- side profile, full face, and everything in between.


    Skr nodded at Aiken before turning back to examine the antique paintings in front of her. There were only a few left to check.


    Simona approached Aiken and said, “Aiken, why are you back so early? I was just about to introduce you to my friend. She works on Mr. Gardner Senior’s team and is incredibly talented. I invited her today to help us determine if our family’s antiques are genuine and estimate their value.”


    Her confident tone implied knowing Skr was a significant aplishment. Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Aiken lowered his voice, ensuring only they could hear. His expression grew serious. “When did you meet her?”


    Hearing the sternness in Aiken’s voice, Simona raised her brow. Suddenly, she giggled. ” Isn’t Skr just stunning? Did you fall for her at first sight? Compared to those women around you, she’s in apletely different league.


    “Aiken, if you really care about me, win her over and make her my sister–inw. If she bes my sister–inw, I promise to always listen to you.”


    A beauty like Skr could indeed leave asting impression at first sight. Even just seeing a photo of her had mesmerized him.


    Those who brought him her photo had also named a high price.


    Aiken nced at Skr again. She seemed focused, undisturbed by her surroundings and had a unique presence. Despite her youth, she possessed a deep understanding of these intricate objects.


    No one on Alexander’s team relied on mere luck or seniority to get by.


    Noticing Aiken’s involuntary gaze, Simona felt a surge of hope. This could work. Skr as her sister–inw would be fantastic.


    “Aiken, say something. Don’t tell me you’re struck dumb. Let me tell you, don’t act up in front of Skr, and don’t scare her off. Though, she isn’t that easily frightened,” Simona


    reminded Aiken.


    Aiken snapped back to reality. He frowned slightly and asked, “Do you know her well?”


    “It doesn’t matter if I know her well. What matters is that Skr is a good person and not someone who would take advantage of us. Moreover, Mr. Gardner Senior chose her for his team. Do you think he’d pick someone with questionable character?


    “I trust my instincts. Skr is the sister I’ve always wanted. And let me tell you a secret. Caleb likes Skr, but she sees him as a brother. I think you’re more her type,” Simona

    said. She suddenly recalled some of the bossy CEO novels she had recently read.


    While those novels were often exaggerated, Skr truly had the charisma to captivate anyone, and those who did would willingly give up everything for her.


    Aiken remained silent, deep in thought.

    Skr walked over and sent Simona a few photos from her phone. “Simona, the items in the photos I sent you are all fakes. The rest are genuine, but their true value is far from being priceless. The most expensive paintings among them are worth at most 10 million dors.”


    Simona’s eyes widened when she saw the photos. “Are these all fakes? I remember this vase was said to be a thousand–year–old antique worth at least 50 million dors, and it’s fake? Aiken, someone’s definitely trying to con us,” Simona eximed. She turned to Aiken.


    Aiken’s expression darkened.


    “Maybe it’s not intentional deception. These fakes are very convincing,” Skr suggested.


    Although Simona was upset about being deceived, she wasn’t too concerned about a few tens of millions of dors. There was something more important now. “Skr, this is my brother, Aiken Parkinson.”


    “Hello,” Skr greeted Aiken.


    Aiken and Simona shared simr eyes but different personalities. Simona was straightforward and candid, living her life with a carefree and unrestrained attitude. In contrast, Aiken was enigmatic and had a daunting presence that made people hesitant to look him directly in the eye.
