    Skr was still amazed after entering the building..

    George was interested in many things. A lot of items from his collections were something she


    hadn’t


    expected to see.


    “Skye, take your time to look around.” George was worried Skr would feel tired.


    Gloria was interested in the collections too. “I didn’t know you’ve collected a lot. If Vi were to see


    this,


    she’d think you’ve wasted money.”


    “How I wish she coulde over and have a look. She mentioned many of these things before, but


    I don’t


    know if they’re authentic,” George replied with an expectant look.


    “I’m not sure when she’ll being back. But now, it’s the same to have Skye look at them. If she


    says it’s


    fake, then it sure is,” Gloria said.


    George nodded. “Vi taught Skye all her skills, so she’ll never be wrong.”


    Meanwhile, Skr looked at every collection attentively. She held her phone and took photos when


    she noticed anything wrong. She paid no attention to the conversation between Gloria and George–


    she was too focused on studying the collections.


    After checking out all the collections, she went to the second floor.


    The collections on the second floor were lessplicated. Most of them were antique paintings.


    When she was done looking at everything on the third floor, the night had fallen.


    George and Gloria rested on the first floor.


    Seeing Skr descending the stairs, Gloria waved at her. “Quick, take a break. George has


    collected many things. Are you tired from checking them out?”


    “I’m fine. I’ve not seen such great collections for a long time.” Skr smiled, and her eyes shone.


    They could tell she was really into these antiques that were full of stories.


    George chuckled. “How’s it? How many of them are fake?”


    “Say it. Quick! So that George will be upset,” Gloria said to add fuel to the fire.


    Skr switched on her phone. “This colored vase is fake, and it was replicated in Jansdale.


    Besides, this antique painting wasn’t drawn by the painter from 1368 to 1644 AD.”


    As Skr swiped the photos, George’s face grew solemn.


    Gloria looked grim, too.


    Looking at their reactions, Skr hesitated if she should continue.


    Gloria seemed to notice that Skr had stopped talking and swiping the photos. The tension on


    her face slightly dissipated as she smiled.

    “Skye, keep going. We’re not looking stern because of how many counterfeits there are. It’s


    because the two items you mentioned just now were given by our old friend.”


    “Old friend? I’m not sure if your friend was conned. This emerald ware was used to store the bones


    of the


    deceased.


    “Luckily, you’ve ced the emerald ware here, Mr. Querbach. If you were to put it in the living room


    or bedroom, you’d likely suffer from diseases like bone cancer.” Skr looked serious, too.


    “What?” Gloria and George gasped at the same time.


    Skr knew George, Gloria, and Vi were good friends, so she said seriously, “You need to send


    the emerald ware away tomorrow noon. It’d be better to send it to a church so that it won’t harm


    others.”


    “Okay. I’ll do as Skye said.” George wore a stern look.


    Gloria looked at George and said earnestly, “We’re old but not dead yet. It seems people are


    irritated because of this. I think you should be more careful.


    “Next time, it’d be better to let Skye look at the gifts given by others. Someone might harm you


    knowing.”

    “I know, I know. I’ll have to trouble you in the future, Skye.” The solemn expression on George’s


    face vanished, and he looked gentle when he looked at Skr.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “No trouble at all, Mr. Querbach.” Skr grinned.


    Gloria red at George. “Skye had spent a long time helping you to check out those collections.


    Won’t you give her something nice?”
