Chapter 56 Matthew Likes Auri

After entering, Aurelia was even more taken aback.

Elijah’s interests were incredibly diverse. Many of the items in his collection were beyond imagination.

“Aurelia, take your time,” Elijah said, fearing that Aurelia might tire herself out.

Mabel also showed interest in those items. “I didn’t expect you to have collected so much. If Hannah saw this, she would definitely accuse you of being a spendthrift.”

“I actually wished she could come and see for herself. Many things were as she had once said, though I’m unsure about their authenticity.” There was a hint of anticipation in Elijah’s eyes.

“Who knows when she’ll be able to return? For now, letting Auri take a look is just as good. If Auri says it’s fake, then it’s fake,” Mabel said.

Elijah nodded repeatedly. “Auri’s skills were taught by her. Anyone she would willingly impart her knowledge to couldn’t be wrong.”

Aurelia had already meticulously examined each item, her hand holding a phone, ready to snap a picture if she encountered any issues. As for what Mabel and Elijah were discussing, she could no longer hear them, her attention fully absorbed by the items at hand.

After examining each item one by one, she ascended to the second floor.

After arriving on the second floor, things became much simpler, as it was adorned with antique paintings.

There were three floors in total.

By the time she had finished looking at everything on the third floor, it was already dark outside.

Elijah and Mabel were sitting on the first floor, taking a break.

Upon seeing Aurelia descend from upstairs, Mabel waved at her, saying, “Come take a break. Elijah has collected so many things. Haven’t you grown tired of looking?”

“Not really. It’s been a while since I’ve seen so many wonderful things.” Aurelia laughed, her eyes sparkling brightly. One look and one could tell she truly adored these antiques, each with its own unique story.

With a chuckle, Elijah asked, “So, how many of these items of mine are fake?”

“Come on, spill it and give Elijah a bit of heartache,” Mabel said, always one for stirring up a bit of drama.

Aurelia turned on her phone. “This five–colored porcelain is a fake. It’s a replica from Juxshire. Also, this antique painting is not produced by a late Middle Ages artist…”
