Chapter 84: He Admitted Everything (2)
She had insomnia last night and took two sleeping pills, sleeping heavily.
Shirley knew nothing about what happened to Helena.
Seeing Willis, Shirley warmly greeted him, “Hi, handsome, what brings you here?”
Willis gave her a cold glance, his gaze sharp.
His handsome face looked as cold as the snow in the deep winter.
He walked past her without saying a word, his whole body emitting an extraordinary pressure.
He felt that Helena came here because she was incited by Shirley. She called people over and didn’t take good care of them.
Shirley’s warm face was met with a cold reception, leaving her puzzled.
She grabbed Helena and asked, “What’s wrong ? Just now, he gave me such a scary look.”
Helena, in a hurry to see Willis off, casually said, “That’s just his personality; you’ll get used to it.”
“Oh, I see.” Shirley hesitated for a moment and let go of her.
After seeing Willis off, Helena returned to her room.
After some thought, she called Jay to express her gratitude.
Willis suddenly came last night, and she didn’t have a chance to thank him properly.
After hearing her words of thanks, Jay casually said, “No need to be polite. A rare talent like you should be protected by everyone who sees you.”
Hearing him say this, Helena secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn’t have any romantic feelings for her.
Otherwise, she didn’t know how to interact with him.
After hanging up the phone, Helena continued to restore the ancient silk painting.
Busy until the afternoon, she vaguely heard the outside getting lively, as if many people had arrived.
Helena happened to be tired, so she stretched her waist, put down the work in her hands, pushed open the door, and walked out.
She saw several elderly people with white hair, surrounded by a group of people, walking in.
They were probably the experts participating in the excavation of the Warring States tomb.
A large-scale archaeological project requires the cooperation of geologists, historians, literary scholars, and experts in artifact restoration.
One of the ancient book and painting restoration experts Helena knew, Oscar Granger, was also among them.
As soon as Helena stepped out, Oscar saw her and instantly brightened up.
From a distance, he greeted her with a cheerful smile, “The Parvis family’s granddaughter, you’re here too. I heard that there’s a genius girl in this archaeological project, and I guessed it must be you.”
His laughter was hearty, and his voice was loud.
As soon as he spoke, everyone turned their heads to look at Helena.
Feeling a bit embarrassed under everyone’s gaze, Helena smiled and replied, “Hello.”
Oscar laughed heartily and said repeatedly, “Good, good, hello to you too.”
After the two exchanged greetings, Helena was about to go back to her room.
She felt a piercing and focused gaze from the crowd, staring at her.
Following that gaze, Helena saw an elderly man with all-white hair and a robust figure.
Judging by his age, he must be around eighty, dressed in a dark blue silk Tang suit. His face was deeply wrinkled, but his sharp eyes were as keen as an eagle’s.
His gaze was too direct and too complicated, leaving Helena bewildered.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Then, the old man walked towards her with large strides.
His footsteps were agile, which was quite inconsistent with his age.
Twenty meters away from Helena, the old man slowly stopped.
He stared at her, examining her carefully.
Somehow, the corners of his eyes slowly turned red.
After a while, he moved his dry and wrinkled lips, murmuring to himself, ” too similar.”
