After observing the damage on the ancient painting, Victoria finally looked up.
Director Erasmus asked anxiously, "How is it? Can you make amends?"
Director Krav, Peter, and the other restoration experts in the room all looked at Victoria nervously and expectantly.
It must be possible!
If even Taylor and Earl Nixon's granddaughter could not make amends, then this ancient painting is completely ruined!
For the cultural relics industry, it was a huge loss!
Victoria looked at this damaged "Maple Forest in the Autumn," a painting that her grandfather had loved and cherished during his lifetime, and this painting would also be displayed at next week's state banquet.
Both publicly and privately, it holds great significance.
Victoria looked up at Director Erasmus, her eyes shimmering with water, her voice crisp, "It's a bit troublesome, it will take some time."
Director Erasmus, upon hearing this, couldn't contain the surprise on his stern face, "So, you mean you can restore this ancient painting, right?"
Victoria nodded slightly.
Director Krav, upon receiving Victoria's affirmative answer, finally felt relieved of the anxiety he had been holding onto, "With such severe damage to this painting, it's going to take time. We're already grateful that you're willing to help with the restoration!"
Those restoration experts were ecstatic, one after another, "Miss Montgomery, it's okay to take your time, we've been here waiting, and we can also learn from you!"
"Yes, Miss Montgomery, if you need assistance or someone to lend a hand, just let us know anytime!"
"Exactly, we're ready to help anytime!"
Victoria smiled faintly, "Alright, I understand."
Peter stared at Victoria in a daze, hearing that she was willing to restore this ancient painting, a hint of restrained tears surged in his eyes.
He wasn't naive to think that Victoria was restoring this ancient painting for him.
Because from beginning to end, Victoria hadn't even glanced at him. Perhaps in Victoria's eyes, his presence was less significant than that of a stranger.
He was a cultural relic restorer, and seeing cultural relics being destroyed by his own hands was the most unbearable and painful torment.
Now that Victoria could save this painting from destruction, how could he not be moved?
Victoria...
Peter silently recited the name in his heart.
He had never truly noticed Victoria before, but at this moment, his eyes couldn't help but follow her every move.
The cultural relic restoration experts in the room, as well as Director Erasmus and Director Krav, were all eager to see how Victoria would restore this ancient painting.
Willow was left alone in the corner, with no one willing to pay attention to her.
Just now, Peter and Willow had already removed the backing paper of this ancient painting, so Victoria picked up the tweezers and continued to remove the second layer of backing paper.
The onlookers in the room all held their breath, quiet without a sound.
Those who understood cultural relic restoration knew that removing the backing paper was much more difficult than the first layer, as it was very easy to damage the painting if not careful!
However, everyone found that Victoria's technique was extremely exquisite, with not a single mistake from start to finish, skillfully removing the backing paper.
The eyes of those restoration experts were filled with admiration, unable to help but whisper.
"If we had known earlier, we shouldn't have let Peter and Willow touch this painting from the beginning, so as not to cause more damage."
"Yeah, if Ms. Montgomery were to fix it from the beginning, everything would have been settled long ago."
"Uhm.. it's too late to say anything now. Fortunately, Miss Montgomery has a way to make amends!"
