Chapter 398


    Seeing J’s surprised expression, Gloriaughed and said, “I called my granddaughter–inw


    over to help identify some items I n to bid onter. I need to see if they belong to Vi.”


    If the items were indeed Vi’s, there was no reason for them to end up elsewhere. She wanted to


    buy them back. Even if she couldn’t see Vi, having her belongings was stillforting.


    J Lawson was still in shock.


    “Would she know anything about this?”


    A young girl who seemed inexperienced might only know a bit from visiting art exhibitions. Could


    she tell between genuine and fake items?


    J suspected Gloria was just trying to add prestige to the young woman.


    She looked at Joe, who didn’t seem affectionate toward Skr. Perhaps Gloria liked this pretty and


    well- behaved woman, but Joe might not.


    Hearing J’s doubts, Gloria nearly rolled her eyes. “Yes, she does.”


    Skr listened to their conversation. She could tell that Gloria and J weren’t very close. Gloria


    had invited her because she knew Vi’s items were up for auction.


    Skr hadn’t expected to find Vi’s belongings here.


    Back when she was in the countryside, Vi rarely mentioned her past. Vi appeared to be a


    prominent figure in the city before moving to the countryside.


    Both Gloria, George, and Alexander always thought fondly of her. N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Skr herself missed Vi dearly and wondered where she had gone. She longed to see Vi and


    share all that she had been through, significantly since Vi had predicted so many things in her


    life.


    “Would this youngdy really know anything?” J asked Skr sharply, her eyes showing a hint


    of skepticism.


    Skr responded calmly, “I know a little.”


    Gloria couldn’t help but smile when she heard that. If that were true, nobody else in the city could

    Joe, too, subtly raised an eyebrow, ncing at Skr nkly.


    J thought she had her answer. Thedy was probably afraid of embarrassing herself on abo

    would be up for auction. If not, Gloria would be very disappointed.


    As the first item came up for auction, Gloria told Skr, “If you see anything you like, just let me


    know,


    and I’ll bid on it for you.”


    J’s face fell upon hearing this. She couldn’t understand how this youngdy, who seemingly


    appeared out of nowhere, had earned such favor from Gloria.


    Gloria treated her as if she were her granddaughter. Her tone was so gentle and kind.


    “Okay, thank you, Grandma,” Skr replied with a smile.


    Gloria was delighted that Skr was bing closer to her. She had no intention of leaving


    empty-


    handed that day.


    If there were something suitable for Skr, she would bid on it. With that thought, she gave Joe a


    knowing look.


    When Joe saw Gloria winking at him, he instantly understood her intentions.
