Xyla Quest wanted to win the silver censer and give it to a person.
“This item is known as the Silver Censer with Openwork Design of Grapes and Flying Birds from the Tang Dynasty… The entire body of the censer is made of pure silver, complying with the most popular openwork spherical design of that era.”
“I wonder if any of you know the history of the silver censer? Please raise your hand if you know it. The one who answers correctly will get a delicate gift from us today!”
As soon as she finished her sentence, a few hands rose into the air.
Rebecca Robin followed suit and raised her hand too, so did Xyla.
Mary Sullivan could not help but rolled her eyes as she noticed Xyla raised her hand in the middle of the air.
She was certain that Xyla did not know anything about the silver censer. As for the questions she had just asked her about Tang Bohu, she must have randomly read it from somewhere.
How could someone who was not interested in antiques at all be so knowledgeable about them? Xyla was just following suit as she saw Rebecca raised her hand, trying to boast herself.
This is because she knew that the auctioneer would let Rebecca answer the question as long as Rebecca was there and was raising her hand.
Mary was disgusted upon thinking of Xyla’s behavior.
Soon, the auctioneer dropped her gaze on Rebecca’s face. She stretched out her hand politely and pointed at where Rebecca was seated. “Miss, please tell us your answer.”
Rebecca held the tabletop microphone placed in front of her without hesitation and said, “I’m raising my hand for someone else. There’s a sweet lady next to me who would love to answer but she’s too shy.”
Then, Rebecca turned to look at Mary.
The others, too, landed their eyes on her immediately.
The abrupt statement by Rebecca had left Mary dumbfounded and lost. Her brain started buzzing like mad.
