Chapter 1406: Chapter 1406: Her Stuff is Missing
Todd Reiserâs eyes were full of sincerity, and he couldnât help but smile.
Xaviera Evans hooked the corner of her mouth. Todd was simple-minded and not good at pretending. At this moment, he genuinely believed that Fiona Reiser was Doctor Faces, and even thought that his father and sister were truly great people.
It was amazing that such an innocent person was a member of the Reiser family, and had grown up under the same roof as Wayne Reiser, who managed to cultivate two completely different personalities in Todd and Fiona.
Todd became increasingly excited as he spoke, "Fiona is very talented, and our parents plan to let her manage the company. So, she never told any of the Reiser familyâs members that she is Doctor Faces. In fact, our parents are very open-minded; if Fiona likes something, we would all support her. We never thought that she could keep such a secret from us for all these years."
Fiona Reiser gave a modest smile, "At that time, it was just a passion, and I never thought I would gain such an achievement today. Afterward, I became too busy with work and didnât have time to focus on this field so I didnât tell my family about it."
The crowd couldnât help but sigh, Miss Reiser was indeed so humble and low-key. If they were Doctor Faces, they would want everyone in the world to know it. But Miss Reiser had kept it a secret for so many years, even from her own family.
The fact that she had such ability was one thing, but to also remain so level-headed and composed was truly rare.
People in the cultural relics world had all more or less heard of Doctor Faces, the genius who restored a damaged scroll years ago. They all thought she was a middle-aged senior, and couldnât believe she was just a young girl in her twenties.
The reason why genius is regarded as genius is that she stood out among her peers. As soon as the live broadcast started, Doctor Faces gained a large number of fans, mostly college students who saw her as a role model. The live broadcast gradually became lively.
Fiona Reiser didnât care about how many viewers were in the live broadcast, as long as she could shine in the cultural relics world.
At this moment, Xaviera Evansâ phone rang. She answered it, and the other end respectfully spoke, "Miss Xaviera, Mr. Heninger said your item is missing."
Xaviera hesitated for a moment, "Let Albert answer the call."
Shortly after, a cool and deep voice came from Quine Heninger, "Xaviera."
At this point, Albert Sullivan had already begun to complain: "No way! I remember putting it in the safe when we first came! Although this painting isnât very valuable, itâs still an ancient painting. Xaviera wouldnât have just thrown it away. How come itâs gone now?"
Speaking, Albert swiftly took the phone, sounding a bit anxious, "Xaviera, where did you put the painting? Master Uland asked us to bring it back to him, he wants to try to restore it, but we canât find it!"
Page Uland loved to collect ancient calligraphy and paintings, and knowing that Xaviera had a severely damaged ancient painting, he sent Albert Sullivan to fetch it. To their surprise, the painting had vanished.
After pondering for a few seconds, Xaviera understood and spoke helplessly, "Youâre too late, someone has taken the painting away."
"Who took it?" Albert stomped his foot in anger. He had come all the way here to get the painting for Master Uland and ended up making a wasted trip.
Before Xaviera could answer, a surprised voice came from her phone, "Miss Reiser, I heard this ancient painting is at least a hundred years old. Although it isnât a work from a famous master, itâs a huge challenge for a cultural relics restoration expert. I saw the painting once two years ago, and it was severely damaged. I never would have expected that youâve almost completely restored it. Thatâs truly amazing!"
Xaviera looked towards the source of the voice. On the other end of the phone, Albert also caught the key point - a 100-year-old ancient painting, severely damaged, and almost fully restored. Wasnât this the painting Xaviera had lost?
Anger filled Albertâs eyes, as he involuntarily clenched his fists. Although he was a doctor who cured people and was not a fan of fighting, he desperately wanted to rush over and beat up Fiona Reiser.
"Fiona! Reiser!"
"Albert, youâre quite smart to figure it out! But letâs not chat right now." Xaviera gave a crafty smile.
"What are you going to do?" Albert hastily asked.
Xaviera casually replied, "What else can I do? Expose her, of course!"
At this moment, everyone gathered around Fiona Reiser, curious to see what the ancient painting looked like before the restoration. After all, the painting was already quite clear and perfect now, but it wasnât the final product. This naturally attracted everyoneâs attention.
