Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 283

After observing the damage on the ancient painting, Victoria finally looked up.

Director Erasmus asked anxiously, "How is it? Can you make amends?"

Director Krav, Peter, and the other restoration experts in the room all looked at Victoria nervously and expectantly.

It must be possible!

If even Taylor and Earl Nixon's granddaughter could not make amends, then this ancient painting is completely ruined!

For the cultural relics industry, it was a huge loss!

Victoria looked at this damaged "Maple Forest in the Autumn," a painting that her grandfather had loved and cherished during his lifetime, and this painting would also be displayed at next week's state banquet.

Both publicly and privately, it holds great significance.

Victoria looked up at Director Erasmus, her eyes shimmering with water, her voice crisp, "It's a bit troublesome, it will take some time."

Director Erasmus, upon hearing this, couldn't contain the surprise on his stern face, "So, you mean you can restore this ancient painting, right?"

Victoria nodded slightly.

Director Krav, upon receiving Victoria's affirmative answer, finally felt relieved of the anxiety he had been holding onto, "With such severe damage to this painting, it's going to take time. We're already grateful that you're willing to help with the restoration!"

Those restoration experts were ecstatic, one after another, "Miss Montgomery, it's okay to take your time, we've been here waiting, and we can also learn from you!"

"Yes, Miss Montgomery, if you need assistance or someone to lend a hand, just let us know anytime!"

"Exactly, we're ready to help anytime!"

Victoria smiled faintly, "Alright, I understand."

Peter stared at Victoria in a daze, hearing that she was willing to restore this ancient painting, a hint of restrained tears surged in his eyes.

He wasn't naive to think that Victoria was restoring this ancient painting for him.

Because from beginning to end, Victoria hadn't even glanced at him. Perhaps in Victoria's eyes, his presence was less significant than that of a stranger.

He was a cultural relic restorer, and seeing cultural relics being destroyed by his own hands was the most unbearable and painful torment.

Now that Victoria could save this painting from destruction, how could he not be moved?

Victoria...

Peter silently recited the name in his heart.

He had never truly noticed Victoria before, but at this moment, his eyes couldn't help but follow her every move.

The cultural relic restoration experts in the room, as well as Director Erasmus and Director Krav, were all eager to see how Victoria would restore this ancient painting.

Willow was left alone in the corner, with no one willing to pay attention to her.

Just now, Peter and Willow had already removed the backing paper of this ancient painting, so Victoria picked up the tweezers and continued to remove the second layer of backing paper.

The onlookers in the room all held their breath, quiet without a sound.

Those who understood cultural relic restoration knew that removing the backing paper was much more difficult than the first layer, as it was very easy to damage the painting if not careful!

However, everyone found that Victoria's technique was extremely exquisite, with not a single mistake from start to finish, skillfully removing the backing paper.

The eyes of those restoration experts were filled with admiration, unable to help but whisper.

"If we had known earlier, we shouldn't have let Peter and Willow touch this painting from the beginning, so as not to cause more damage."

"Yeah, if Ms. Montgomery were to fix it from the beginning, everything would have been settled long ago."

"Uhm.. it's too late to say anything now. Fortunately, Miss Montgomery has a way to make amends!"

When Victoria stood up, her shoulders were sore.

"Okay, the repair is complete."

She breathed a sigh of relief.

It's no exaggeration to say that all those restoration experts were watching Victoria's every move, and when they heard her say it was repaired, they immediately excitedly gathered around to look at the painting.

"Miss Montgomery, you're so amazing! You can repair a painting with such severe damage and repair it perfectly!"

"Isn't this how the ancient people saw 'Maple Forest in the Autumn'? We're seeing the same painting as the ancients."

"Miss Montgomery, I learned a lot from you today. Do you want to accept me as an apprentice? Take me as an apprentice"

Director Krav looked at the restored ancient painting, joy overflowing on his face. Fortunately, he invited Victoria over; otherwise, this painting would have been truly lost, and it would have been impossible to report to the higher-ups.

Now that the ancient painting has been restored, it can be successfully displayed at the state banquet next week!

Director Erasmus raised a hand and unexpectedly saluted Victoria, his voice loud and hearty, "Young lady, thank you very much!"

Victoria quickly said, "You're too kind."

Carl was stunned to see this scene. The old director, who held a high position and was old, actually saluted Victoria out of the ordinary, indicating that he truly appreciated her!

When Willow saw this scene, her eyes flashed with deep surprise and unwillingness. If she was the one who restored the ancient painting, she would be the one enjoying all the honor...

Peter, who was left aside, looked at Victoria, who was praised and thanked by everyone, feeling a tightness in his heart. He hoped that Victoria, who had spoken to so many people, could look at him.

But from the beginning to the end, Victoria didn't even look at him.

"Let's calm down, everyone calm down!" Director Krav clapped his hands and said solemnly, "With Miss Montgomery's help, this ancient painting has finally been restored. We are very grateful to Miss Montgomery"

"But in the first restoration process, who damaged the ancient painting, whether it was Peter or Willow, we will now check the surveillance!"
