Destined to Love You novel Chapter 124

"I wouldn’t."

Angelia said it with a smile on her face. Cassius was just joking around.

She turned around to unlock the door and noticed that the lock didn’t look the same. She frowned, hesitated a little bit, but Cassius behind her pressed her.

"Hurry up."

Angelia refrained from doubting and took out the key to unlock the door.

The case of the porcelain vase was on the table where she placed it.

Cassius did the honor of the house inviting Ruben to take a seat and to have some tea.

"Let’s have a look."

Angelia carefully picked up the container and placed it in front of them.

"This vase was broken into eight pieces, and there weren’t so many fractures that need to be glued, so I completed it in a shorter time."

Cassius grunted and opened the box. After looking at it, his face changed unrecognizably.

He threw the box back on the table angrily.

"Are you joking?"

Angelia glanced at him with confuse. When she was just about to say something, she realized that the noise coming from the box was weird. A rustling sound, it was like the collision and friction of countless ceramic fragments.

She suddenly stepped forward and reopened the lid with a very bad feeling in her heart.

Fragments!

All fragments!

"How did this happen?"

Angelia was shocked when she looked in the box.

Cassius's face was full of darkness, and he said angrily, "If you can’t fix it, at least don’t break the vase into more fragments than before!" Ruben had a look, and somehow the appearance of this vase was familiar to him.

"This... I hope this is not the vase I gave you for restoration, the porcelain of the Song dynasty from the original kiln, right?"

He rushed up, picked up one of the pieces and looked at it, the pattern on it was exactly the same!

"This…" Ruben all of the sudden turned his head and stared at Cassius.

"Cassius! What is happening here?"

Claudia stood outside the window, triumphantly listening to the conversation between the three people inside, enjoying the embarrassment of Angelia. This was what Angelia got for had the guts up against her! Cassius frowned and didn’t say anything. The Diego Mills turned to Angelia once again.

"Ms. Miller, what happened? I have been told that you could fix it. Perhaps you did not want to do the work, but I wonder, why do you destroy it?"

Angelia shook her head.

"The vase was absolutely fine before I invited you to come here."

She looked around and saw that several things were positioned differently on the table. And the door lock had a problem also.

"Someone must have come in and destroy the vase."

Ruben smiled smugly, but didn't believe a word of it.

"We thought you and Cassius were the only ones allowed to come in here? Cassius hasn't come here these days. Has someone seen you fix the vase?"

Angelia frowned.

"Not really..."

"So, nothing more to say."

Ruben looked at the fragments in distress, and said, "I bought this for seven million. I expect you to pay me back!"

"Seven million?"

Angelia’s eyes were widened in shock and she stared at Cassius.

Through her observation over the past few days, this vase wasn’t any different from the ordinary vases sold in the store.

How was it possible for this vase to be worthy for seven million? But Cassius Lloyd overheard what Ruben said without saying a word.

Angelia frowned, thinking about it over and over again.

"Mr. Mills, where did you purchase this vase?"

"Why does it matter? Do you want to buy an identical one to repay me? I warn you, this is the last one!"

Angelia said disagreeing, "It is a fake one."

Ruben's face changed.

"Impossible! Cassius authenticated the vase for me. It is indeed genuine!"

When Cassius heard what Angelia said, his eyes lit up a little bit and eventually he carefully looked at her.

After looking at her for a while, he nodded slightly, responding to what Ruben said.

"It is real!"

"Did you hear that?!"

Ruben slammed his hand on the table lightly with dissatisfaction and stood up.

"It seems like you just don't want to pay me back! That’s why you say my vase is fake!"

Angelia was confused. Everyone knew Cassius's abilities, and it was impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.

Moreover, although the workmanship of this vase was a bit elegant and some places were deliberately made to imitate the traces of antiques, there were several flaws. With Cassius's skill, it was impossible not to notice it.

"But I truly feel that this vase is fake."

"You!"

Ruben was so imposing that he would even swear towards her.

Cassius stopped him by raising his hand. He looked at Angelia and asked,

"Can you tell me how do you know that this vase is fake?"

Angelia nodded hesitantly, and explained the inadequacies in the vase, from the design of the shape to the obvious signs of imitating the antiques, and also the other flaws, one after another.

The logic was spot on, and the analysis were sensible.

Cassius Lloyd nodded repeatedly and didn’t get angry. When Angelia finished talking, he asked, "Is this what you remember from the book you memorized before?"

Angelia agreed and said, "The notes that you handwrites were very detailed and very helpful."

Angelia was very shocked how Cassius could create such excellent notes but made such a huge mistake for a vase that cost seven million.

These last words instantly made Cassius very satisfied. He was happy. He raised his hand to touch his beard. There was a smile on his face for the first time in so many days.

"I got it."

After speaking, he glanced towards Angelia and said, "Martin once said that you have very good skills. I didn't want to believe it in the beginning, but now it seems that you actually do."

Angelia could not believe what she was hearing.

Even though she didn't know why all of the sudden he changed his words. It was the highest praise anyone could get from Cassius, who was strict and rarely praised people!

Angelia was still a little bit confused but deep in her heart she was feeling joyful.

"But this vase..."

Ruben looked at Cassius on the side, vaguely assumed something, and suddenly got disappointed.

"Cassius, do you also think that the vase I bought was not real?"

"No, the vase you bought was not fake."

Cassius put his hand out and picked a fragment out of the box, and slowly said, "This one was fake."

"What do you mean?"

Cassius stood up and approached the cabinet that was located in the corner.

He bent down and took out a new box from the safe on the bottom, and then carefully placed it in front of Ruben.

"This was the one you bought. I already fixed it."

Ruben looked at him with surprise, and immediately opened the box.

A Blue-and-white porcelain vases with transparent colors appeared in front of them. The light fell on it, reflecting amazing sight.

Angelia was not standing far away, but even so, she couldn't see a trace of it being repaired.

The vase was perfect.
