Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1461

Emmeline paused her stride, offering a warm smile as she greeted, “Hello, Aunt Audrey!”

Audrey waved her hand. “We’re practically family. No need for formalities.”

“I’ve come to inquire about the training preparations, Emmeline explained. “Mr. Chester. seems occupied, and I didn’t want to disturb him.”

“They’re some old friends,” Audrey said. “They’re in the gold and jewelry industry, discussing the prospect of setting up a counter with Vernon.”

“In that case, I should probably refrain from intruding. Emmeline agreed.

Audrey smiled. “It’s quite a coincidence. Vernon was just looking for you!”

Emmeline then followed Audrey into the office.

“Emma.” Vernon gestured to the middle–aged man seated on the right side of his office desk. “Let me introduce you to an antique expert who can satisfy your curiosity.”

Emmeline promptly greeted the ‘expert.”

“Meet Danny Timberlake, the owner of Valoria Jewelry in Ylora,” Vernon stated. “He’s also an antique appraiser with previous collaborations with Sotheby’s. You can call him Mr. Timberlake.”

“Hello, Mr. Timberlake!” Emmeline greeted with a sweet smile.

Vernon then turned to Danny and said, “This is the girl I mentioned earlier, the one Audrey has wholeheartedly chosen as her goddaughter, Miss Emmeline Louise.”

Danny looked at Emmeline and smiled kindly. “Such a charming young lady, a precious gem among gems, with a hint of blessings around her.

Vernon chuckled. “Audrey was smitten and insisted on adopting Emma as her goddaughter!”

Danny fixed his gaze on Emmeline and inquired, “Mr. Chester informed me that you have a found object in your possession?”

Emmeline nodded, her voice tinged with shyness. “It was a serendipitous discovery, and I’ve been quite curious about it. I’d like to learn more.”

Danny proceeded to ask Emmeline for a brief description of the item’s appearance.

After hearing her description, he commented, “That little jade figurine seems to be a ritual object from the Roman Republic.”

“It’s similar to what I found in books,” Emmeline said with delight.

“I will come back when the World Trade Building is open. At that time, you can bring it to me for a more thorough examination, he proposed.

Emmeline expressed her gratitude promptly. “Thank you so much, Mr. Timberlake.”

He then added, “And the Imperial jade bracelet on your wrist is quite valuable.”

Emmeline frowned. “But my brother bought it in Setwell, and he mentioned it was a little. over nine thousand.”

Danny laughed. “Far more than nine thousand. It’s more like two hundred times that amount!”

Over two hundred times nine thousand?

Does that mean it’s worth over two million?
