The Pinnacle Of Life

Just then, an old man in traditional clothing walked into the manor with a smile while

holding two bottles of wine.

“Hey Bardot! Your old pal is here to see you! Just look at what I’ve brought you, it’ s the

thirty-year-old Dalva tawny port!”

Upon hearing the old man’s voice, Aidan immediately rushed up to him while donning a

bright smile. “Lawrence, didn’t you say that the Archaeological Society will be having a

meeting today? Why did you rush over here then?”

This old man was Christopher Lawrence, he used to teach History back in the same

school as Aidan. However, this old man joined the Archaeological Society later on. Now,

he had a different position as an official in the archaeology industry. Naturally, Aidan

was overjoyed to see him.

Christopher smiled as he said, “I came as soon as the meeting ended.”

Just then, he took a glance at the ground and noticed The Landscape that had been

stomped by Claire. Although he could only see parts of the painting, he was able to

identify it.

Christopher was shocked all of a sudden. After placing the wine on the ground, he
