Edna's voice was trembling.
"That's right, but I'd have to go back to look through the books to determine which year this is from."
Jose was ecstatic. He didn't think he would live long enough to see such a rare, precious treasure.
His words turned the suspicion in the crowds' eyes into shock. They all rushed forward in an attempt to see such a rare, precious treasure.
Harold's eyes were fixed intently on that relic as well.
This was a rare treasure!
"Is this worth a lot of money, honey?" Diana tugged on Harold's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
"Of course!" Even though Diana's voice was kept low, Jose still heard it.
Jose looked at Diana with disdain.
"If this martyr's relic was auctioned in international auction houses, it would be worth at least 50 million dollars. To people who only value money, this may just be a bunch of numbers, but to Havaria's cultural relic appraisers, this is a priceless commodity!"
Jose's words had employees from Caldwell Antiques inhale sharply, especially Edna. She regretted her decision so much. If she hadn't sold the snuff box off to Yolanda, this relic would now belong to them.
Eight million dollars was nothing compared to a saint's relic worth 50 million dollars.
Edna felt all kinds of unwell knowing that she had willingly given up such a priceless treasure to another. If she could snatch the relic from Yolanda, she would.
On the other side, Jose might have returned the martyr's relic to Yolanda, but his eyes were still lingering on it longingly.
Yolanda kept the martyr's relic and parchment in her backpack. Jay had been very intrigued by cultural relics. If he knew that she had gotten such a rare treasure, he would be elated.
Yolanda had decided to keep this relic properly until she could be reunited with her masters in her original identity. This martyr's relic would be a reunion gift from her to Jay.
As she put away the martyr's relic, Yolanda saw the unwillingness and resentment in Edna's eyes.
Iciness flashed in Yolanda's eyes. She knew clearly that Edna would not let this pass. If Edna thought that she could just snatch the relic back, she would be painfully mistaken.
