“That fast?”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Did we give her our gift?” Caldwell suddenly asked.
Kendra blinked, startled. “Weren't you the one who prepared it? | don’t think you handed it to me.”
Caldwell patted his pocket.
There it was.
He passed the gift to Kendra. “Con, let's try to catch them. Maybe we're not too late.”
But by the tthey reached outside the estate, the car’s taillights had already disappeared down the road. A
shared pang of regret hit them—both feared they had left Freya with a poor impression.
It had been her first visit, and they hadn’t even managed to give her a proper gift.
Kendra, after a quick moment of deliberation, fired off a message to her son.

“Antique industry,” Ellis replied, his tone smooth and nonchalant.
Freya paused. Antique industry. One npopped instantly into her mind.
She turned to him, her voice measured and slow. “That discreet antique company, the Lambert Group... that
wouldn't happen to be your family’s, would it?”
“Mm-hmm,” Ellis admitted, seeing no point in denying it anymore.
Freya was floored. Was he joking? The Lambert Group had always been a quiet force in the industry. While it
didn’t flaunt its status like the Shaw or Briggs Groups, its assets were just as formidable.
They avoided public events, but their wealth spoke for itself. Any artifact they sold could command an
astronomical price.
