âI want to believe you, but I canât find any basis anymore, Emmeline choked up. âYouâve confused me.
Please, stop tormenting me. Canât you just let me go?â
*Emina. Abel pleaded.
âPlease leave.â Emmelineâs teary eyes were filled with sorrow. âI beg you.â
Abel leaned against the door frame and closed his eyes. He was overwhelmed with heartache.
He wondered how he could explain himself in a way that would make Emmeline believe him.
The previous modern marketing training had caused quite a in the Altney business community. Some businesses directly approached Emmeline, inviting her to train their employees. They even entrusted her with developing company management systems, employee codes of conduct, and corporate culture.
Under Brandonâs guidance, Emmeline registered her own companyâWinners Enterprise Management Consulting Limited.â
The company was located in a twoâstory building next to RetroWave Advertisements.
Nevertheless, things couldnât be rushed. Next, she needed to recruit and train professional managers.
At this moment, she finally felt that all her previous efforts had not been in vain.
Her teaching qualifications and her studies in business management were finally being put to Use.
As the World Trade Building had its grand opening, its business was booming.
Danny, the owner of Valoria Jewelry, arrived as promised.
Emmeline brought the two items she had found to Vernonâs office.
Danny first looked at the jade cicada and said, âThis is an ancient jade, which would be placed in the mouth of the deceased. Unfortunately, itâs a modern imitation.â
Emmeline then handed the jade figurine to him.
He took it in his hand and pondered for a while before saying. âThis is an ancient jade with signs of patina, craftsmanship, and weathering. It should be an artifact from the Western Zacade period.â
âBefore seeing it, I speculated that it was a ritual talisman. Now, it seems to be a jade grip. something that the royal family and nobles held during funerals.â
Vernon then asked, âIs it valuable?â
âIt definitely has value, Danny said. âAncient jade has already been recognized by many collectors, but itâs hard to estimate its worth. It can only be put up for auction and evaluated based on the market.
Vernon then turned to Emmeline and asked, âNow that the answer is revealed, what are your plans?â
âI havenât thought about it yet. Emmeline smiled. âI would appreciate Mr. Timberlakeâs advice.â
If you think itâs possible, you can put it in my auction house and see if it can enter Sothebyâs, Danny suggested.
âThatâs fine!â Emmeline exclaimed happily. âThen, Iâll leave it to you, Mr. Timberlake.â
âHowever, Sothebyâs doesnât deal with ordinary people, Danny said. âIf you trust me, you can sign an agreement with me; Iâll be your agent.â
Emmeline nodded. âI didnât have any plans anyway. If you think itâs appropriate, Iâll just wait for a message. It doesnât matter if it takes a long time to sell.
âGreat,â Danny said. âI will take care of this item. I wonât charge any agency fees for now. When we can sell it at the best price, weâll talk again.
Under the witness of Vernon, the jade figurine was entrusted to Danny as the agent.
After signing the agreement, Vernon hosted a dinner. Everyone enjoyed their meal together.
After that, Luca picked up Emmeline and sent her back.
It had been over half a month, and Emmeline firmly refused to return to the Ryker Group and continued to live in Samâs rental house.
Abel had no choice but to assign Luca to take care of her on his behalf.
Although it was early autumn, the showroom needed to switch to winter apparel.
Emmeline planned to go to Sandwell to check the goods and evaluate a few other clothing brands.
She had made an appointment with Luca to drive to Sandwell early the next morning.
However, in the evening, he called inform her that his mother had been hospitalized due to high blood pressure. He asked if she could reschedule.
Emmeline pondered, thinking that she had already informed the manufacturers in Sandwell, so changing the time might not be suitable.
During this season, new clothing styles came out every day. If she delayed, she might miss. out on the best styles.
She told Luca, âYou take care of your mother first. Iâll ask Abel to accompany me.
âSure,â he said. âYou can call Abel. This time, I wonât be your chauffeur.â
After ending the call with Lura, Emmeline dialed Abelâs number.
She frowned as her mind filled with countless thoughts. In the end, she pressed the back button and did not make the call.
