Skylar was still amazed after entering the building..

George was interested in many things. A lot of items from his collections were something she hadn’t
expected to see.
“Skye, take your time to look around.” George was worried Skylar would feel tired.
Gloria was interested in the collections too. “I didn’t know you’ve collected a lot. If Viola were to see this,
she’d think you’ve wasted money.”
“How I wish she could come over and have a look. She mentioned many of these things before, but I don’t
know if they’re authentic,” George replied with an expectant look.
“I’m not sure when she’ll be coming back. But now, it’s the same to have Skye look at them. If she says it’s
fake, then it sure is,” Gloria said.
George nodded. “Viola taught Skye all her skills, so she’ll never be wrong.”
Meanwhile, Skylar looked at every collection attentively. She held her phone and took photos when she noticed anything wrong. She paid no attention to the conversation between Gloria and George–she was too focused on studying the collections.
After checking out all the collections, she went to the second floor.
The collections on the second floor were less complicated. Most of them were antique paintings.
When she was done looking at everything on the third floor, the night had fallen.
George and Gloria rested on the first floor.
Seeing Skylar descending the stairs, Gloria waved at her. “Quick, take a break. George has collected many things. Are you tired from checking them out?”
“I’m fine. I’ve not seen such great collections for a long time.” Skylar smiled, and her eyes shone. They could tell she was really into these antiques that were full of stories.
George chuckled. “How’s it? How many of them are fake?”
“Say it. Quick! So that George will be upset,” Gloria said to add fuel to the fire.
Skylar switched on her phone. “This colored vase is fake, and it was replicated in Jansdale. Besides, this antique painting wasn’t drawn by the painter from 1368 to 1644 AD.”
As Skylar swiped the photos, George’s face grew solemn.
Gloria looked grim, too.
Looking at their reactions, Skylar hesitated if she should continue.
Gloria seemed to notice that Skylar had stopped talking and swiping the photos. The tension on her face slightly dissipated as she smiled.

“Skye, keep going. We’re not looking stern because of how many counterfeits there are. It’s because the two items you mentioned just now were given by our old friend.”
“Old friend? I’m not sure if your friend was conned. This emerald ware was used to store the bones of the
deceased.
“Luckily, you’ve placed the emerald ware here, Mr. Querbach. If you were to put it in the living room or bedroom, you’d likely suffer from diseases like bone cancer.” Skylar looked serious, too.
“What?” Gloria and George gasped at the same time.
Skylar knew George, Gloria, and Viola were good friends, so she said seriously, “You need to send the emerald ware away tomorrow noon. It’d be better to send it to a church so that it won’t harm others.”
“Okay. I’ll do as Skye said.” George wore a stern look.
Gloria looked at George and said earnestly, “We’re old but not dead yet. It seems people are irritated because of this. I think you should be more careful.
“Next time, it’d be better to let Skye look at the gifts given by others. Someone might harm you knowing.”

“I know, I know. I’ll have to trouble you in the future, Skye.” The solemn expression on George’s face vanished, and he looked gentle when he looked at Skylar.
“No trouble at all, Mr. Querbach.” Skylar grinned.
Gloria glared at George. “Skye had spent a long time helping you to check out those collections. Won’t you give her something nice?”
