Chapter 13

Gunther was Hailey’s father. The name rang a bell to Oliver, but he did not know he was Hailey’s father.

Gunther thought it was unreliable for her daughter’s store manager to buy antiques. He glanced at the box opened by Oliver and asked, “Hailey, how much did you spend on these things?”

Hailey bragged, “It cost me 4 million dollars until I almost emptied everything in my store. Dad, buy it, please. I know you like calligraphy and painting.”

Gunther knew she was bluffing about it, but he believed the money must have been spent, so he reached out to look.

Gabriel, an antiquities expert, was having tea with Gunther too.

Gabriel, formerly a professor of Archeology in the Department of Archeology at Jacaster University, had been associating with him. After he retired, he became Gunther’s assistant.

Gabriel took out a painting from the box and scanned it before he gasped in wonder.

They fumbled with the box full of 55 items. After that, Gunther glanced at Gabriel in surprise.

Gunther’s expression was mirrored on Gabriel’s face as well. He stared at Oliver and asked, “Have you carefully checked on each item?”

Oliver nodded, thinking there was no need to hide it since he was Hailey’s father. He answered honestly, “Yes, I think they are all authentic. We paid 1.57 million dollars for all 55 items. I don’t know if it will be a loss or not…”

“1.57 million dollars?” Gabriel smiled in surprise and looked at Gunther as he thought to himself, “Hailey’s store manager is so lucky. It will not be less than 4 million dollars if all these items are sold!”
