Seeing Janet’s surprised expression, Gloria laughed and said, “I called my granddaughter–in–law over to help identify some items I plan to bid on later. I need to see if they belong to Viola.”

If the items were indeed Viola’s, there was no reason for them to end up elsewhere. She wanted to buy them back. Even if she couldn’t see Viola, having her belongings was still comforting.

Janet Lawson was still in shock.

“Would she know anything about this?”

A young girl who seemed inexperienced might only know a bit from visiting art exhibitions. Could she tell between genuine and fake items?

Janet suspected Gloria was just trying to add prestige to the young woman.

She looked at Joe, who didn’t seem affectionate toward Skylar. Perhaps Gloria liked this pretty and well- behaved woman, but Joe might not.

Hearing Janet’s doubts, Gloria nearly rolled her eyes. “Yes, she does.”

Skylar listened to their conversation. She could tell that Gloria and Janet weren’t very close. Gloria had invited her because she knew Viola’s items were up for auction.

Skylar hadn’t expected to replace Viola’s belongings here.

Back when she was in the countryside, Viola rarely mentioned her past. Viola appeared to be a prominent figure in the city before moving to the countryside.

Both Gloria, George, and Alexander always thought fondly of her.

Skylar herself missed Viola dearly and wondered where she had gone. She longed to see Viola and share all that she had been through, significantly since Viola had predicted so many things in her life.

“Would this young lady really know anything?” Janet asked Skylar sharply, her eyes showing a hint of skepticism.

Skylar responded calmly, “I know a little.”

Gloria couldn’t help but smile when she heard that. If that were true, nobody else in the city could claim to understand antiques truly.

Joe, too, subtly raised an eyebrow, glancing at Skylar blankly.

Janet thought she had her answer. The lady was probably afraid of embarrassing herself on abo

would be up for auction. If not, Gloria would be very disappointed.

As the first item came up for auction, Gloria told Skylar, “If you see anything you like, just let me know,

and I’ll bid on it for you.”

Janet’s face fell upon hearing this. She couldn’t understand how this young lady, who seemingly appeared out of nowhere, had earned such favor from Gloria.

Gloria treated her as if she were her granddaughter. Her tone was so gentle and kind.

“Okay, thank you, Grandma,” Skylar replied with a smile.

Gloria was delighted that Skylar was becoming closer to her. She had no intention of leaving empty-

handed that day.

If there were something suitable for Skylar, she would bid on it. With that thought, she gave Joe a

knowing look.

When Joe saw Gloria winking at him, he instantly understood her intentions.
