Old Mr. Quintin quickly picked up the phone, "Vivian, when are you coming home?"

Grace replied, "In a couple of days."

"Alright, we'll be waiting for you at home!"

"Mhm, I'll hang up now!"

After ending the call, Grace thought about the girl's voice she had just heard, frowning slightly. She had previously spoken to her father on the phone, suggesting that the girl undergo verification first. However, her father insisted she come home and do it in person this time.

She understood her father's intentions. Considering she hadn't visited home in many years, a touch of emotion stirred within her. Therefore, she accepted the invitation to be a guest at the cultural festival, wanting to return home for a visit.

Suddenly, her phone rang, snapping her out of her thoughts. It was her assistant.

"Grace, we've run into a bit of trouble at the art exhibition. Can you come back?" her assistant asked, clearly worried.

"What happened?" Grace inquired, frowning.

"One of the paintings in the gallery has been called out as a forgery," her assistant explained.

"What?" Grace stood up abruptly.

After a brief conversation, Grace said, "I'll come back tonight. Try to manage the situation until then."

"Got it!"
