At this moment, a piece of news suddenly came from the television.

“Good morning, dear viewers and friends. The morning news will be reporting the following. At eight o’clock in the morning, Mr. Yuri Carson, the curator of our city’s museum, arrived at Lume in Phillips Manor. The general manager of Lume, Mr. Titus Jenkins, has personally received him…”

When Freya and Sean saw the news, they were shocked.

Because the protagonist of this news was none other than President Jenkins, who had some conflict with them last night.

Following the host’s explanation, the television screen showed Titus chatting with Yuri, the curator of Porthampton Museum.

At this moment, the host’s voice sounded again. “It is reported that the general manager of Lume, Titus, will donate a Tang Dynasty official kiln porcelain. The porcelain will be received by the curator of Porthampton Museum.”

Then, the camera cut to Titus handing a porcelain vase in a gift box to Yuri.

When Freya and Sean saw the vase, they were completely stunned. They felt that everything was unbelievable. The vase that Titus was donating was the same vase that Sean had broken yesterday!

There were two vases in Lume. One of them was broken by Sean, so it was very likely that Titus had donated the other one.

Of course, it was not strange for Titus to donate his antiques; many rich people would do such a thing to expand their influence in Porthampton.

However, what Freya and Sean really couldn’t understand was that Titus had clearly admitted that the vase was fake yesterday. Why would he still donate the vase to the museum?

Was he donating a fake vase?

Freya and Sean were confused.

On the television screen, the host came to Yuri’s side with a microphone and asked, “Director Carson, may I ask what kind of vase President Jenkins donated this time?”

“After the appraisal of our museum’s experts, the vase that Mr. Jenkins donated this time is a porcelain vase from ancient times. It’s thirty-six centimeters high and has a diameter of ten centimeters. The porcelain vase is exquisite, and its body is adorned with a painting.”

“This porcelain vase has a long history and has a very high historical value. I conservatively estimate that the current market price of this porcelain vase should be around 40 million. Unfortunately, this porcelain vase should be a pair, but because Mr. Jenkins accidentally lost one, this pair of vases would have a higher research value!”

Yuri replied indifferently.

The reporter then brought the microphone to Titus’s mouth and asked him softly, “Since it’s such an expensive vase, why did you donate it so generously, Mr. Jenkins?”

“Antiques originally belong to the country, so I can’t take them for myself. I want to take them out and let more people appreciate the beauty of Oprana’s history!” Titus replied vehemently.

Meanwhile, Freya and Sean were staring at the television screen in disbelief.

Yuri had already personally proved that the vase that Titus donated was not fake at all, but the real deal from a real kiln in ancient times.

Since the vase that Titus donated was real, then was the vase that Sean broke last night real or fake?

If it was fake, then why didn’t the person who stole the vase steal both of them?

Whether it was stealing just one thing or many things, no one would be stupid enough to think that there you’d be stealing too much.

But if the vase that Sean broke yesterday was real, why did Titus say that the vase was fake?

Sean and Freya looked at each other, feeling that something was not quite right.

“Could it be that this matter has something to do with Connor?” Freya could not help but say softly.

Sean sat on the spot and frowned. Then, he slowly said, “Freya, regardless of whether the vase 1 broke yesterday was real or fake, this matter is already in the past. Let’s not discuss this matter anymore!”

“Dad, what are you talking about? If the vase that you broke is real, then it means that there is something between Connor and Titus that we don’t know. That is why President Jenkins is confusing the public and deliberately saying that the vase is fake!” Freya hurriedly replied.

“But now that the matter has passed, there’s no point in discussing this anymore,” Sean said helplessly to Freya.

“Freya, did you sleep so much that your brain is muddled? President Jenkins is not even willing to give face to your father, so do you think he would give face to that Connor? Don’t let your imagination run wild. I think the vase that President Jenkins is donating now is fake!” Laura shouted at the top of her lungs. Then, she looked at Sean and said, “Alright, Sean, hurry up and pack your things. The two of us have to leave!”

“Alright.”

Sean nodded and got up to pack his things.

A few minutes later, Sean and Laura left the hotel, leaving Freya alone in the private room.

At this moment, Freya was still thinking about what had happened last night. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Although Laura felt that it was impossible for Connor to know someone like Titus, Freya didn’t think so. This was because she knew how Thomas Morgan had treated Connor.

Since Connor knew Thomas, it was not impossible for him to know Titus too. Moreover, during dinner last night, everyone thought that Titus had given them red wine because of Shane. However, Titus didn’t know Shane at all, so when they found out the truth, everyone thought that it was because of Freya instead.

However, Freya knew very well that she had nothing to do with Titus. It was only her first time meeting him. Moreover, Titus only found out that Freya and Thomas were business partners after the incident.

This also meant that when they were eating in the private room, Titus had no idea who Freya was. It didn’t make sense for Titus to give Freya wine.

“Could it be that all of this is because of Connor?” Freya couldn’t help but mutter. She narrowed her eyes and began to analyze the information she had. “It must be because Titus knows Connor that he’s so polite to us. In that case, the incident with my father was definitely related to Connor!”

Thinking of this, Freya’s expression became even more puzzled. She really wanted to understand who Connor was and why he knew so many big shots.

“Phew…”

Freya felt that she wouldn’t be able to find the answer here, so she stood up and walked towards Connor’s room. She was prepared to ask him about this matter..
