The Divorcee Amazed the World

Restoration of the painting.

It took Helena three days to piece together the M. H painting.

It was so fragmented that it gave her a headache.

After piecing it together, she began the restoration process.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

After overcoming numerous difficulties, she finally restored the painting without a trace.

Upon completion, she was quite satisfied with the painting.

With the restoration done, the next step was to find a buyer.

She called Shirley, “Which auction house is more reliable?”

Shirley was surprised, “You fixed such a broken painting in such a short time?”

“Yes, you can’t see any signs of repair.”

“Goodness, you’re amazing!”

Helena raised an eyebrow slightly and held the phone a bit away from her ear.

She felt that Shirley and Alick, despite being siblings, had quite different personalities. Shirley was too lively.

But it was a good complement to herself-one active, one calm.

Shirley offered to find out and then hung up.

Shortly after, she called back, “I’ve inquired. The biggest auction houses are Sam Auction House and Dragon Art Auction. Sam Auction House has a success rate of up to 80%. These two auction houses have accumulated more than half of the high-end collectors in the country. These collectors have net worths ranging from tens of billions to even over a hundred billion.”

Helena asked, “Which one is closer to us?”

“Sam Auction House is a bit closer.”

“Then let’s go to Sam Auction House.”

“Okay, I’ll pick you up.”

An hour later, Helena and Shirley arrived at Sam Auction House.

As they entered the hall, they found a long queue.

At least fifty or sixty people were in front of them, all carrying collections from various parts of the country for auction.

Because before the auction, there were procedures such as appraisal, verification, and negotiation of the starting price, the process was quite cumbersome.

Since they had already come, Helena and Shirley joined the line.

From morning until noon, the queue in front of them only decreased by half, and both of them were tired from standing.

Helena said, “Maybe we should try another one.”

“Let’s wait a bit longer; the other one might not have fewer people.” Shirley bent down to massage her sore legs.

After a while, she stood up and stretched, suddenly exclaiming, “Look, handsome guy!”

Her voice was not soft.

Everyone turned to look at her.

But they only glanced at her and shifted their gaze to Helena, who was standing next to her.

Because Helena was just too eye-catching.

With her black hair, red lips, white glowing oval face, beautiful autumn water eyes with a calm gaze, she stood there gracefully like someone who had traveled through time from an ancient painting.

In full view of everyone, Helena felt a bit embarrassed.

She turned her head to avoid everyone’s gaze and followed Shirley’s pointing direction.

The man was indeed handsome.

He was tall, wearing a stylish black jacket, black trousers, with short hair, and had a handsome and profound facial features. Especially those eyes, dark and deep, with a story of their own, piercing Helena’s heart.

At a glance, Helena recognized him.

He was the man she bumped into at the Capital Hotel a few days ago.

He had a pair of eyes that resembled Jay’s.

Thinking of Jay, Helena felt a tightness in her chest, making it difficult to breathe, and her heartache gradually contracted into a small lump.

She pressed her chest, frowning slightly.

It seemed that the man noticed them and told the people behind him before leaving.

Not long after, a staff member in a suit with a tie came over to Helena and said, “Excuse me, are you Miss Helena?”

Helena nodded, “Yes, I am.”

“Our young director would like to see you.”

Helena was slightly surprised, “I don’t know your young director.”

The staff member glanced at the painting she held, “Aren’t you here to auction ancient paintings?”

“Yes.”

“Our young director wants to see the painting in your hands.”
