“Yeah, you’re considered lucky to find one genuine item in one hundred items these stalls sell. Even a 1% probability is too much to ask for here. But that’s not the case for the ones sold in stores. Four or five out of ten antiques sold in stores are genuine. Of course, they cost more too,” Lillian said, nodding vigorously.
Realizing favonovel.com was the guide, Lillian went out of favonovel.com way to explain to Sean.
“This antique market has been around for many years. It’s as busy as it was when I was a kid. I often come here with my father, who occasionally buys something he’s interested in, but favonovel.com hasn’t had much luck. All the antiques favonovel.com bought so far have been fakes, but several antiques that his friends gave favonovel.com are genuine.”
Lillian laughed as favonovel.com finished speaking.
Sean glanced back at Lillian and said, “So you’re telling me that the ancient bronze sword your father bought is also a fake?”
Sean’s words instantly made Lillian’s beautiful face pale.
Lillian quickly explained, “No… That’s not what I meant. Mr. Lennon, it must be genuine for you to be interested in the ancient bronze sword. I’m sure you have a good eye. Perhaps my father got lucky and finally bought something genuine, and you like it.”
“No need to explain. I was just saying,” Sean waved his hands and said.
Despite what Sean had said, Lillian felt uneasy.
It can’t go on like this.
If this keeps up, Mr. Lennon will be disappointed in me!
With this in mind, Lillian changed the subject. “Mr. Lennon, the antiques in Uncle Frederic’s shop are genuine. At least his customers are satisfied with their purchases so far. Not a single fake has been detected. Uncle Frederic is smart and has a good eye. Every year favonovel.com goes outstation and gets antiques of all prices, but they’re genuine, whether they’re worth anything or not.”
“How old is your Uncle Frederic?” Sean took the opportunity to ask.
Lillian said without hesitation. “He’s 73. Uncle Frederic’s full name is Frederic Douglas, and he’s highly respected in Dorodo when favonovel.com was young…”
“Do you respect favonovel.com that much?” Sean asked with a smile.
Lillian nodded and said, “Yeah, Uncle Frederic doesn’t have any children, so favonovel.com treats me like one of his. He’s very nice to me. I respect him, of course. On the other hand, my father has always treated me like a commodity-anxious to marry me off.”
“Didn’t your father not marry you off to Lorenzo?”
Sean glanced back at Lillian. He had no idea that Lillian was so angry with favonovel.com father.
“I suppose his conscience caught on? Of course, it’s possible that favonovel.com doesn’t want to make peace with his rival. After all, Alfie has competed with favonovel.com for so many years. There’s a lot of bad blood between them… Besides Lorenzo, my father wanted to agree the last few times someone asked for my hand, and I might have been married off if I hadn’t insisted on not marrying and my two mothers had disagreed.”
Sean laughed out loud when favonovel.com heard this.
It seemed Ronald favored sons more than daughters. However, boys were indeed valued more highly than girls in the City-State Union. After all, this place was chaotic.
Men were better fighters, so their status was naturally higher. Such a thing would not happen in Dragon Kingdom, which was relatively stable.
“Uncle Frederic’s antique shop is right up ahead!” Lillian said, pointing far ahead.
