The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Chapter 63 What Are You Nervous About 

Norman did not believe Chad’s words. 

However, since he had already promised Chad, it was impossible for him to call it quits right at the beginning 

Finished 

Since there wasn’t much to do in the morning, he stayed there to accompany Chad, allowing the latter to recognize Aurelia’s true colors properly. I must say, this young lady is quite beautiful. She’s the type that these kids would like. It’s just that she’s obviously not someone from our line of work. She doesn’t give off a composed aura. 

Only after the other two individuals had also provided their answers to the three interviewers did the trio check the correctness of the answers. 

The first ones they looked at were from the other two men. They placed Aurelia’s answer at the very bottom. They had to be meticulou in their line of work, treating every antique with utmost seriousness. There was no room for levity. Since Aurelia had approached the interview with a joking attitude, she didn’t deserve their respect. 

The two people next to Aurelia, their expressions somewhat stiff, were both showing signs of discomfort. It seems the saying that Team Gardner’s recruitment process is stringent is true. 

Based on those items alone, the counterfeits could easily be passed off as genuine. If they hadn’t been in this business for several years, they probably wouldn’t have been able to identify the fakes. 

Upon seeing the answers from the two individuals, all three of the interviewers wore expressions of unsurprising anticipation. 

Back when they had just joined the team, they were all like that, unable to identify all the counterfeits. 

Many things were crafted so realistically that one could say they were almost identical to the real thing. 

Finally, they turned their attention to Aurelia’s answer. 

At first, they didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, Aurelia had answered too quickly. 

Aurelia appeared naturally relaxed, showing no signs of tension.. 

However, Chad, in the surveillance room, had his heart inside his throat. He was extremely nervous. 

Norman glanced at Chad. “Why are you so nervous?” 

“I’m not nervous at all. Aurelia is a person with real skills. If she’s not nervous, why should I be?” Chad said stubbornly. 

Norman snorted. From what he could see on the surveillance camera, Aurelia seemed genuinely calm and composed, not flustered in the slightest, showing no signs of nervousness. He just wasn’t sure if it was all 

an act. 

After the three of them had read Aurelia’s answer, they looked at each other in disbelief, all revealing expressions of incredulity. All her answers are correct. She found all the counterfeits! 

Ever since joining the team, they had never encountered anyone who could identify all the counterfeits on their first attempt.

If they had joined the team for a few years, they would certainly be able to identify all the counterfeits. However, that was Aurelia’s first time participating in the interview. 

Upon noticing the three people staring at her, Aurelia smiled and asked, “Is there a problem with my 

answer?” 

“No.” The problem is the lack of problem. 

Fortunately, all three of them managed to maintain their composure. One of them said, “Follow me. Let’s proceed to the next round of the interview.” 

One of them, holding the answers of the three, quickly made his way to the surveillance room. 

Upon witnessing that scene in the surveillance room, Chad felt his jump into his throat once again. What’s with their expressions? So what if Aurelia failed to find the counterfeits? Aurelia is already quite remarkable. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s my grandpa, whose possessions could easily pass off as genuine. 

“Do you wish to continue watching?” asked Norman. 

Chad wore a stern expression as he said, “Of course. I want you to witness Aurelia’s ability to restore antiques. The fakes you’ve made are too convincing. It’s only natural that Aurelia couldn’t tell them apart.” 

Seeing Chad still being stubborn, Norman was left speechless, truly at a loss for words about what to say to his grandson. He’s just a hopeless romantic. 

However, when Norman received the answers from the three interviewees, he pointed to one of the papers and asked, “Whose is this?” 

“It’s Aurelia’s, the young lady among the three. Old Mr. Gardner, she’s able to distinguish between real and fake at an incredibly fast speed. At first, we even suspected her of cheating. However, we changed the items we used for the interview every time, so no one could know the answers in advance. She actually managed to identify all the counterfeit items we had mixed in.” The man’s tone was full of astonishment. 

Even Norman was startled. 

Chad was taken aback. He knew that Aurelia was formidable, but he had never imagined that Aurelia could be that skillful. 

He blinked his eyes, then burst into hearty laughter.

Norman looked at the smugly laughing Chad, his expression darkening a bit. However, there was anticipation and excitement in his eyes. “This young lady has a keen eye. She must have often studied genuine artifacts. Let them go ahead with the restoration.” 

“I’ve already arranged for them to restore the porcelain vase,” the man replied. 

Norman nodded. “Let them restore some of the ancient antique paintings too. Don’t we have a few fragments of antique paintings on hand? Let them attempt to restore the antique paintings. There’s no need to restore all of them, just some as per the requirements. Let’s see their skills.” 

At that moment, Norman figured the most important thing was to assess Aurelia’s skills. 

From his youth until now, the only person he truly admired from the bottom of his heart was Hannah and no one else. He had learned many of his skills from Hannah.

Regrettably, Hannah had always declined to take on apprentices. Over the years, she had disappeared without a trace, leaving no clue as to where she might have gone. 

Norman couldn’t fathom if it were an illusion, but on second thought, he found the determined and decisive look in Aurelia’s eyes when she distinguished the counterfeits from the genuine items truly bore a striking resemblance to Hannah. 

Now, Chad had gained much more confidence. 

His eyes were constantly fixed on Aurelia in the surveillance cameras. 

The more he stared at her, the more fascinated he became. 

He was genuinely fond of Aurelia. From the moment he first saw her diligently working on restoration works. Chad felt as if she had won his heart. 

Reflecting on his current daily indulgence in motorcycle riding and extreme sports, he suddenly felt somewhat unworthy of Aurelia. 

A seed had sprouted in Chad’s heart. 

He was about to undergo a drastic change. 

From the surveillance cameras, it was crystal clear that Aurelia was extremely focused and professional while handling the restoration work. 

Moreover, her movements were swift. 

In reality, the portion they had to repair wasn’t substantial. After all, the interviewees couldn’t spend an entire day on restoration. 

However, the process still took a total of two to three hours. 

In the past, if Chad had been asked to observe how people restored those antiques, he simply wouldn’t have been interested. He would rather watch people skydive. 

However, at that moment, he simply couldn’t bear to shift his gaze away even for a moment. 

Previously, when he was in David’s shop, he couldn’t keep staring at Aurelia. Otherwise, David would definitely scold him. 

Norman watched very intently, and the more he watched, the more excited he became. He even asked the people in the surveillance room to zoom in on the camera, specifically to observe every step Aurelia took to restore the antiques. 

Both Norman and Chad were particularly engrossed in what they were watching. 

Even the security guard in the surveillance room couldn’t help but join in. 

He couldn’t understand what was so fascinating to stare at since the process was too dull and boring. However, the security guard thought Aurelia’s hands were truly beautiful. They were fair and slender. 

At that time, Aurelia was completely unaware that others were watching her every move closely. 

After completing the final step, she stood up and went to wash her hands.

This time, she was the first one to finish again.

However, due to their prior experience, the other two individuals were no longer in a hurry. They knew that Aurelia was merely playing to the gallery. They could tell her work was probably quite shoddy without even looking at the end product of what she restored. 

Aurelia didn’t sit down. Instead, she moved to the window, quietly observing the scenery outside. 

She glanced at her wristwatch. The time was already half past twelve..
