The two shook hands and made peace, and Amelia handed the watch to Elliott. "I'm waiting for your good news!" After saying that, he left gracefully. Elliott looked at Amelia's back and muttered to himself, "She's a beautiful woman, but she's still not as good as my wife!" repair master's face, he became strange. He gently placed the watch on the counter and said, "I can't fix this watch. Please find someone else!" Upon hearing this, Elliott calmly said, "Master, I know you can't fix this watch, and I didn't plan on having you fix it." This statement immediately angered the repair master. "What did you say? Are you looking down on me? Although l can't fix this watch, you won't find anyone else in the entire Rica, who can fix it? You don't need to belittle me like this." "Master, please calm down. I think you may have misunderstood me," Elliott replied calmly. "Misunderstood? What do you mean?" "This watch is an antique and can be considered a rare item. It is indeed difficult fo
Upon hearing Elliot's sudden exclamation, Alma was a little confused. "Elliott, what's wrong? Why are you acting so strange?" she asked. "Somebody's following us!"Elliott replied. "Nobody's following us, are you hallucinating from being too tired these past few days?" Alma asked skeptically. Shaking his head, Elliott said, "I'm sure somebody's following us, and it's not just one person!" "You're just bragging, I don't believe you!" Alma said, rolling her eyes. But just as she finished speaking, seven or eight burly men suddenly appeared in the alley. Their sudden appearance startled Alma. "Elliott, there are people following us!" she exclaimed. Elliott shielded Alma behind him and whispered, "Don't be afraid, your husband's here!" Hearing this, Alma felt a warm feeling in her heart. She looked up at Elliott and smiled with satisfaction. After comforting Alma, Elliott looked up and saw a familiar face among the group of men walking towards them. It was the security team leader,
After sending Alma back to her hotel, Elliott called Amelia. Once he got the address from Amelia, Elliott took a taxi to her tea shop located on the busiest commercial street in Rica. The street was filled with numerous shops, and Amelia's tea shop sold high-end tea to wealthy clients worth millions of dollars. Therefore, the shop's decoration was very upscale. The entrance was a large red lacquered pear wood door with a gold-plated signboard carved with the three characters which was very eye-catching. There was a large parking lot at the entrance, and the tea shop not only sold tea but also stored tea for some customers who occasionally visited the courtyard to drink tea. Many luxury cars were parked in the parking lot, and only ordinary cars could be considered there. Elliott glanced at them and thought to himself, "No wonder she can own a unique wristwatch. It's hard to do this without several tens of millions of dollars, just opening a tea shop in this area." Elliot's mou
The person who spoke was none other than Smythe, whom Elliott had encountered at the door just now. Beside Smythe were several friends from the business world, all of whom were worth over ten million. In Rica, they were considered small rich men, and ordinary people would never have the chance to come into contact with them. "Do you know this kid?" "How could I know this trash? He just disgusted me at the door a moment ago." Smythe sneered. After hearing this, a big-headed man asked, "Smythe, what do you mean by 'disgusted'? Tell us about it!" Smythe pointed at Elliot and said disdainfully, "It's this guy, who's dressed like he's from a street stall and claims to be the boss of Gilpper Group, saying he's worth billions. Isn't it ridiculous?" After Smythe spoke, everyone around him burst into laughter. In their eyes, Elliott had immediately become a monkey in the zoo. "Worth billions? Ridiculous!" "Arrogant!" "Knows nothing!" Mocking and questioning voices continued to ring o
Upon hearing this, Elliott took out the box containing the watch. "If I hadn't fixed it, how could I dare to meet Miss Amelia?" Elliott said calmly. Amelia smiled slightly and took the box from Elliot's hand, opening it. The watch lay quietly in the box. Amelia took the watch out and wound it up. The hands on the watch began to move. Amelia smiled and put the watch back on her wrist. "Thank you, Mr. Elliott!" Amelia thanked him. "It's nothing to thank me for. After all, the watch was damaged because of me. I just did what I should do, Elliott said. Elliot's words made Amelia quite fond of him. No one in Eoca could fix the watch, but Elliott did. Having such top-notch skills and yet being so humble, he was truly an anomaly among his peers. After skipping the topic of fixing the watch, Amelia intentionally found many topics to chat with Elliott about. Even inadvertently, Amelia revealed that she had investigated Elliot's background. "I heard that Mr. Elliott is the son-in-law of
Elliott nodded and said, "Exactly!" Elliott had just touched the thickness of the painting, Ordinary paper could not be so thick. Whether it was ancient or modern paper, it was the same. The thickness of the paper was subtle, and if the touch was not at a certain level, it would not be possible to feel it. But Elliott was different. As a master, the reactions of various parts of his body had reached the top level. He could easily feel the thickness of a painting. "Miss Amelia, I have to say that you are lucky. Even the seller doesn't know that this painting is a sandwich painting!" Elliott continued. Amelia walked forward and also touched it, but she didn't feel anything. "Mr. Elliott, sandwich paintings are extremely rare. Are you sure that this painting is a sandwich painting?" Amelia asked again. "l guarantee it with my reputation!" "Okay, I believe you. But how do you prove that this painting is a sandwich painting?" Amelia asked again. "It's simple. Peel off the fa
After the group got in the car, they quickly arrived at the competition venue. As over a hundred appraisers were competing in the antique appraisal competition, the venue was a big issue. Therefore, the Rica Sports Stadium became the best choice. Upon arriving at the venue, Elliott and his group walked in and saw that many people had already arrived. In the nearby resting area, a group of people were sitting. If Elliott could see, he would recognize one of them as Amelia. Sitting beside Amelia was her grandfather, Cyrus. On the opposite side were two people, Jax and Leon. "Amelia, you're not getting any younger. You should start considering some things. Yesterday, when you were not here, I talked to your grandfather about this matter. What do you think about Ivy?" Cyrus asked. Both Arrision's grandfather and grandson showed anticipation. If they could ally with Natalie's family, it would be the best thing, Moreover, Leon was already a little fond of Amelia. As the num
This conflict had caused a rift between Leon and Elliot. However, Elliott didn't mind at all. He was afraid of someone as insignificant as Salem, how could he compete against the four major families? An hour later, the stadium was filled with people. The opening ceremony of the antique appraisal competition was less than half an hour away. As a participant, Elliott received the competition rules. The competition was divided into two stages: the preliminary round and the final round, There were a total of 134 participants in the competition, and they were divided into ten groups for the preliminary round. The winner of each group would advance to the final round. The rules for the preliminary round were simple: each group would receive ten antiques provided by the Rica Museum and the Antique Association, some of which were genuine and some were fake. The participants had to identify the authenticity and value of these antiques within a specified time. The score was based on
