Reborn Wife

Chapter 52 

Seeing that Olivia suddenly became extremely excited after they stepped into Treasure Pavilion, Bruce raised his eyebrows to ask her, confusedly, "It seems like you are very interested in this kind of place, huh? You've been here?"

Olivia chuckled and shook her head, "Actually, I'm not interested in treasures.It's just that I haven't been here, and it feels new!"

She casually said, but Bruce did not seem to believe her.

For him, her words could only be half of the truth or completely a lie.

Despite that, her actions would always tell the truth.

‘Liar.I don't think she's never been here’ He chuckled.

Instead of asking further, Bruce just shrugged it off and gave her a meaningful look with a smile curved onto his soft lips.

Not long after the two of them sat down, Olivia estimated that it was almost time to prepare for the convention as the Pavilion’s new appraiser.

So, she carefully thought of a lie that would make him believe.

The money that she could get here would help Nicholas and the company to pay off their debts to recover their decreasing capital.

It was her first job, and she wouldn't let it fail.

‘‘What should I do?’’ she thought.

After thinking of a plan, Olivia did not hesitate and immediately acted in pain as if her stomach was aching.

It was a good thing that her lie and acting were very convincing.

Even the pain in her eyes seemed to be true.

"Bruce?" she called.

"I'm not feeling well? “ she said while holding her stomach.

Hearing this made Bruce stand up from his seat.He was so worried about her, and Olivia did not expect it.

She was shocked.

"Let me take you to the hospital." said Bruce.

He was about to carry Olivia, but she immediately stopped him.

"No!" she immediately answered and abruptly shook her head.

"Perhaps I just ate too many spicy foods earlier.I can't take the pain anymore.I just need to go to the restroom to settle this!"

With that, Olivia immediately turned around and ran away.

Bruce did not say anything and just sat down to wait for her patiently.

However, Olivia did not come back until the Treasure Reward Convention had begun.

‘‘Where did she go?’’ he wondered.

After Olivia entered the restroom, she hurriedly changed her clothes and put a mask on.

At the same time, she put on a simple makeup and went backstage as the new appraiser of the Treasure Pavilion.

The treasure reward conference was about money, so Mr.Herman personally came to take a look.

When he saw Olivia, he was stunned and thought that an imposter had sneaked in.

But just as Mr.Herman was about to question her, Olivia took the lead and said, "My previous identity was inconvenient for me.So, from now on, when I attend these conventions, this will be my identity.’’ Mr.Herman looked at Olivia seriously.

Although he didn't know who Olivia really was, he wasn't the type of an old-fashioned person who couldn't adapt after decades in the appraisal industry.

On the contrary, he felt that this was a good thing to avoid circumstances in the future.

So, he retreated.

Regarding the appraiser that Mr.Herman had taken yesterday, she was still a young girl.

Because of that, several other skilled masters were unimpressed since he even treated Olivia as a handyman.

"Come and tidy up this pile of things.Do you understand the rules?" said Mr.Herman.

Olivia turned a deaf ear to his question.

‘‘What are the rules? Does he mean the rules that he used to break?’’ Seeing her putting on her white gloves, the masters who were waiting to flatter her were instantly enraged.

The masters sat upright together and began to talk to each other.

"Little girl, you are so young but ignorant.Don't you think anyone in our profession can get along with you? There will come a time that you will cry in vain!"

"Arrogant, bossy, and young.Heh, it seems like she has never suffered from pain before.’ But Olivia completely ignored their existence.

Because of that, the masters choked instantly in embarrassment.

It was like hitting a soft ball of cotton, causing people to become irritated from their own anger.

They dared to discuss and insult her for a long time, but she didn't care at all.

It was as if she hadn't heard them talking.

Even if she did, it didn't affect her at all.

She was so concentrated on examining the various treasures that were about to be taken out for sale.

The masters believed that if they didn't teach her a lesson, she wouldn't know how hard it was to be an appraiser.

Thus, one of the oldest and most talkative masters walked over to her and said coldly, "How dare you ignore us here? You're just here and you are not qualified to handle these antiques.You will now be in charge of displaying those jewelries!"

After saying that, he casually pointed to a pile of worthless ancient golden phoenix hairpins in the glass cabinet, as well as the pieces of jewelry made from rare gemstones.

These diamonds and jewelry were also priceless.

After all, everything from the Treasure Pavilion was indeed a treasure.

However, most of the people who came to the Treasure Reward Convention were only looking for those rare antiques and not jewelry.

In comparison, these jewelry items that were on sale were not worth mentioning, but the masters wanted Olivia to make a mistake.

So, she wouldn't be able to sell any of them.

But, Olivia wasn't angry at the master's remark.

She remained calm as usual.

The Treasure Reward Convention was about to start.

She didn't want to start a conflict, so she left the antique area and headed to the jewelry section.

The Treasure Reward Convention had officially begun.

Olivia was scheduled at the end. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

After the finale of the antique exhibition, many of the VIPs would basically leave impatiently.

Still, she did bring the jewelry with her without any complaint.

But if everyone had already left, she would be left alone in a cold and quiet, empty place.

The masters laughed.

They were just waiting to see how the arrogant little girl messed up.

An hour later, all the treasures were displayed in front of Olivia.

Finally, the work of the famous calligrapher Prince Hadley of the Eastern Virginia Empire, The Calligraphy ofPeace, was displayed.

But it wasn't the original.

It was said that although it wasn’t as good as the original, it wasn't that bad.

And, even though it was only a replica, a man bought and sold it off for 80 million dollars! It was a good thing that almost all of the distinguished guests who came were here for the calligraphy.

But before Olivia went up, the masters couldn't help but mock her again when they came across her.

"Good luck, little girl.Of course, you shouldn't take it personally when you fail.It won't be a problem if you actually can't sell it.Just cry later!"

Their laughter instantly rang out.

Once again, Olivia ignored them and walked straight up from the backstage.

As she had predicted, a small portion of the guests had already dispersed, and another portion was on its way out.

The moment Olivia stood on the stage, Bruce, who had initially lowered his head to look at his phone, suddenly caught his attention by the girl on stage.

His sharp cold stare, coincidentally landed on her as if he was examining her figure.

Olivia felt a sudden burst of pressure in her chest when their eyes met.

But she knew that even those who were close to her would not recognize her in her disguise.

After staring at her, Bruce had already shifted his gaze and his handsome face away.

Olivia breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she picked up the microphone.

Regardless of whether there was a listener or not, she continued parting her lips to speak softly.

"Everyone, I would like to invite you all to individually recognize some of the rare treasures that we have here at Treasure Pavilion; but she purposely lowered her voice to sound a little dull.

These distinguished guests only glanced at her on the stage and saw that she was just an ugly little girl that no one would dare to pay any attention to.

She should be attractive, entertaining, and not a mysterious person hiding behind a mask.

In this large venue, Bruce was the only one who gave her the attention.

He smiled faintly when he noticed that no one was paying attention to the girl.

As he looked at the approaching people around him, he opened his thin lips and said, "Isn't it inappropriate for us to be rude? Why don't we give her a chance?" he asked.

It was hard to distinguish between the joy and anger in the tone of his voice, but it indeed made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

Those who desperately wished to have a relationship with Bruce giggled nervously and quickly sat back in their respective seats.

No one really dared to approach him because of his powerful aura.

Now, the place suddenly became quiet as the rushing night.
