Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 281

The group of artifact restorers were shocked when they saw the situation.

"What's going on? Why did a crack suddenly appear? Did you accidentally pierce the layer of paper covering the back of the painting with tweezers when you uncovered it?"

"It must be, otherwise, why would there be another crack all of a sudden!"

"It's over. This painting was already difficult to restore, now it's even harder..."

Peter's expression also changed. He looked at Willow in horror and said, "Willow, you..."

He definitely didn't pierce the paper covering the layer of the painting with tweezers just now, so it could only be Willow.

How could she be so careless?

But without waiting for Peter to finish, Willow asked with a blank expression, "Teacher Montgomery, do you know what's going on? Why is there a new crack all of a sudden?"

Peter was stunned. Willow... What did she mean?

"Teacher Montgomery, did you accidentally use the tweezers to pierce the thin layer of the painting?" Willow asked innocently."

Peter was stunned.

He knew in his heart that it wasn't him who damaged it.

Only he and Willow were restoring this painting. If it wasn't him, it could only be Willow!

No wonder she suddenly turned pale just now, because she accidentally damaged the ancient painting, so she panicked!

But now, She was pushing all the blame onto him with an innocent face? Making him take the fall?

How could she be so despicable and shameless?

Or, has she always been this kind of person?

The previous recording exposed her persona, and it was Willow who really wanted to hurt Victoria. It was not a misunderstanding at all... It wasn't a misunderstanding...

Seeing Peter's silence, everyone thought he had admitted to it and could not help but complain,

"Peter, you are a very experienced restorer, how could you make such a mistake?"

"Yeah, now not only did you not restore the ancient painting, but you also damaged it!"

"Now that the damage is getting worse, what can we do now..."

Director Erasmus's usual face was very firm, and when he became stern, his face became even more severe. His eyes were sharp as he stared at Peter,

"How can you be so careless! This ancient painting is going to be displayed at the state banquet in front of a foreign Monarch! Now that it's turned into this, wouldn't it be embarrassing in front of the foreigners!"

"Director Erasmus, don't worry, for now, maybe there is a way to remedy the situation!" A tall restorer kindly advised.

"How can there be a way!" Another restorer was anxious, "This ancient painting was already difficult to repair, now with another damage, it's even harder to repair!"

"That's right, how can this be repaired? There's no way to save it!"

"I do know a person who may have a way to make amends. That person is very good at restoring ancient paintings."

"Who? Who can remedy it? Hurry up and tell us, stop keeping us in suspense!"

"Yeah, stop keeping us in suspense, just tell us! We'll invite that person over right away, maybe there's still time, maybe it can still be restored"

"It's useless for me to say it out loud. That person has already passed away, so we can't invite him!"

"What? Has passed away? I remember now! Are you talking about the old master Earl Nixon? The old man was indeed a famous restorer of cultural relics, but he has already passed away..."

"Sigh, it would be great if the old master was still here..."

Listening to the discussion among the crowd, hearing the familiar name Earl Nixon, Mr. Wright felt a touch of sadness and couldn't help but sigh, "Victoria, I also feel that it would be nice if your grandfather was still here."

Victoria lowered her eyes, how she wished her grandparents were still here...

Carl knew that Victoria had a deep bond with her grandparents, seeing her lonely and desolate appearance, he couldn't help but feel sad along with her.

The group of artifact restorers who had been talking loudly, upon hearing Mr. Wright's sigh, widened their eyes in disbelief,

"Mr. Wright, what did you just say? Mr. Earl Nixon, is he Victoria's grandfather?!"

"Mr. Wright, is this real or fake? You're not lying to us, are you?"

Mr. Wright frowned displeasedly, "Why would I lie to you? Victoria is indeed Earl's granddaughter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was shocked beyond words.

Earl Nixon... Victoria Montgomery...

Earl Nixon, a well-known old-timer, with unparalleled abilities, is known throughout the industry, as the pinnacle of existence!

Victoria was Earl Nixon's granddaughter!

This background identity was much more powerful than any aristocratic family or famous heiress!

Victoria had never flaunted this identity before, she was so low-key, today was the first time they had heard of it!

It wasn't a secret that Mr. Wright and Earl Nixon were good friends. At the previous Art Exhibition, Mr. Wright said that he and Victoria's grandfather were good friends. Everyone didn't think much about it, but it turned out that Victoria's grandfather was Earl Nixon!

"I came to see the restoration of the ancient painting, but there was something wrong, and now the painting is like this!" Director Erasmus's tone became stern at the mention of the damage to the painting."

After hearing what happened, Director Krav was shocked and turned to look at Peter, "Nonsense! How careless!"

Peter clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Director Krav, I didn't damage it, it was Willow"

As soon as the words fell, the scene was in an uproar.

Just now, Willow's words and actions implied that it was Peter who damaged it!!

Peter explained angrily, "Director Krav, this ancient painting was damaged by Willow, she knew how important this ancient painting was, and couldn't bear the consequences of damaging it, so she shifted the blame onto me, trying to make me take the fall!"

Willow widened her eyes, looking surprised and hurt, "Teacher Montgomery, how can you say that? How can you falsely accuse me like this?"

Peter's eyes were full of disgust, how did he not notice before, how good she was at pretending?

Director Krav glanced at Willow, then at Peter, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, stop arguing, everything in this room is very important, with high cultural value, so there are surveillance cameras in the room, we'll check the surveillance later, then we'll know who damaged it."

Willow's face instantly drained of color at the mention of surveillance cameras in the room.

This room... has surveillance cameras?!

This was her first time here, she didn't know!

Upon hearing that the surveillance footage could be checked, the other people in the room no longer dwelled on this question. checking the surveillance later would reveal whether it was Peter or Willow who damaged it.

Director Erasmus was more concerned about another matter at this time. He gazed kindly at Victoria, "Miss, did you just say you can restore cultural relics?"

Victoria nodded.

The corners of Carl's eyes twitched. Why did he feel like the man's tone sounded like he was coaxing a child?

Director Krav couldn't help but laugh, "Director Erasmus, of course, Miss Montgomery can restore ancient paintings!"

A restorer next to him couldn't help but ask, "Director Krav, you said you would bring Taylor over today. Why is it only you? Where is Taylor?"

Director Krav helplessly shrugged, "Taylor came in a long time ago! She arrived before me!"

What?

Already here?

Arrived before Director Krav?

Could it be...
