Barbara smiled warmly "I's cold outside, Come in quickly."

Inside the villa, Janice was surprised to find not just Barbara, but a group of people who looked like they were working on something academic. Among them was Heldi, who was

Janice glanced at the long table, wondering i if they were restoring antiques.

"My mother specialines in painting restoration, Edward explained. "These are my elders. Let me introduce you'

Janice blinked in surprise. She thought she was just meeting Babura

As Edward led her over, a few people removed their glows

"Edward, you're here?

"This is an uncle, Greg Moore. He's an artifact restoration expert"

"This is my aunt, Myta Thompson. She specializes in sculpture restoration"

“Enough! We need a professional. This won't be finished before the new year, especially with the textile restoration team tied up with that major artifact. Ugh "

Everyone was at a loss. Antar restoration was aspecialized skill, and while the Moores could assist with other tasks, only a professional textile restoration expert could handle the actual restoration

“Barbara, il this isn't finished before the new year Greg Moone voiced his concern for Barbara's work.

If the restoration wasn't completed in time for the exhibition abroad, all the responsibility would fall on Barbara

Barbare sat down and said, "I'll check unit later. Maybe we can find Ms. Smith, the one who helped restore King George's boots."

Janice raised her brows slightly when they mentioned her.

As the room fell into silenor, Janke spoke up. “Mrs. Moore, why don't you let me try?"

Everyour turned to look at fart. Even Edward, who had been speaking into his headset, glanced over.

Heidi's anger boiled over from being soulded carer. When she saw juice, the immediately surend. “Ms. Smith, this isn't just shiple embroidery. You don't know anything about artifact restoration. Do you really think antiques are so cheap that anyone can just tamper with them?"
