Chapter 523


    Charles couldn’t let Skr earn more than him.


    Knowing Skr would be visiting today, Charles went to the nearby mall yesterday and bought a


    luxury brand handbag. It was a favorite among many. female celebrities. The brand was popr.


    In the past, he couldn’t afford to give it to Skr while other women had it, but now he could make it


    happen. Even things other mothers had, he could now give to Janine too.


    “See if you like it. Try it on,” Charles said eagerly, handing the bag to Skr.


    Though not particrly fond of luxury brands, Skr admitted this bag was quite lovely. She said,


    “It’s lovely. Thank you, Charles.”


    “That’s good to hear.” Charles grinned proudly. None of the female celebrities could match Skr’s


    grace with the bag. She was extraordinarily beautiful.


    “Oh? Charles, is this your girlfriend or a new talent signed to yourpany?”


    Suddenly, Brigham Cohen, a middle–aged man, appeared. When he saw Skr his eyes lit up. He


    was visibly captivated by Skr.


    Charles quickly rified upon seeing Brigham. He exined, “Mr. Cohen, she’s my sister, not an


    actress. She happened to have time this weekend and came by.”


    Brigham’s eyes brightened even more. “Your sister? Did she sign with anypany? I think she’s


    perfect for the role of the enchanting second female lead in our uing drama. If she takes it on,


    she’ll definitely satisfy the audience.”


    Upon closer inspection, Brigham realized Skr was truly stunning. It was as if a character from a


    screeny had stepped into reality.


    Skr couldn’t help but smile upon hearing Brigham suggest she y the second female lead. She


    had never considered entering the entertainment industry, and she had no interest in acting. Her


    passiony solely in her work.


    “Mr. Cohen, my sister has a job as an antique restorer. She won’t be entering the entertainment


    industry,” Charles quickly interjected.


    2/3


    He couldn’t bear the thought of Skr being in the entertainment industry. A woman as beautiful as


    Skr would surely encounter all sorts of challenges there, and he worried about her being taken


    advantage of.


    Besides, Skr had a job that she loved.


    Brigham looked slightly disappointed at Charles‘ response. But upon hearing Skr’s profession as


    an antique restorer, his eyes lit up even more. He stared at Skr as if she were some rare find. He


    wondered how a beautiful young woman like her ended up with such a dull and uninteresting job.


    He hurriedly asked, “An antique restorer? Can you authenticate antique pieces?”


    Skr nodded and replied, “Yes, I can identify most of them. It’s part of my basic training.”


    “Well, recently, I purchased a painting for my collection. A friend who visited my hometer imed


    it was a forgery. I spent 50 million dors on that painting. If it’s fake, I’ve been duped.


    “I believe it’s genuine, but I can’t shake my doubts. Is it worth keeping? Could you help me


    determine its authenticity? I’llpensate you ordingly. Just name your price.” Brigham quickly


    Knowing Charles, Brigham felt that Skr could be trusted. He refused the allure of fame and


    focused on what he loved to do. It showed his calm andposed demeanor, which few young


    people possess nowadays.


    Charles listened in astonishment. He wondered how the conversation had shifted to ask Skr to


    help authenticate the painting. Moreover, Brigham rarely treated people so kindly.


    “I can take a look first,” Skr agreed.


    She believed in doing what she could. After all, Brigham directed Charles‘ current film. If she had


    assisted Brigham, Charles would have another supporter in the entertainment industry, smoothing


    his acting career.


    “Could you wait for 30 minutes? I’ll have the crew bring you dinner, and my family will send the


    painting over right away.” Brigham hurriedly asked.


    He had wanted to visit Alexander to ask for help for some time. Alexander’s appraisals were the


    most trustworthy in Jipsburg City. But unfortunately, he couldn’t establish a connection with


    Alexander.


    3/3


    He would likely need to make an appointment in advance if he went there. However, he didn’t have


    time recently.


    “Okay,” Skr replied and nodded. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    While waiting for dinner and the painting, Brigham casually asked Skr, ” There are numerous


    auction houses in Uipsburg City. Additionally, there are teams specializing in restoration. Which


    team do you work with?”


    Before Skr could answer, Charles proudly opened his mouth and said, “She’s in Mr. Gardner


    Senior’s team, and Skr does all the repair work alone.”
