Chapter 7 Framed Up
"Yes, that's the one."

Bill nodded, feeling kind of irritated.

"That was Master Vincent Geoffrey's work! If it weren't for that charity auction, whose proceeds would go to poor children, I couldn't have bought it at such a low price."

Vincent Geoffrey was the most famous jade carvings master in the country and a legendary name and figure in this industry.

He had no children, nor did he take any disciples. Because of this, no one would inherit his superb skill and talent. Every piece of his work had become a unique and invaluable masterpiece that couldn't be replaced.

Jadee, one of Vincent's notable works, was small yet exquisite, just about the size of a thumb. When it was put up for bidding in the auction, Bill managed to acquire it for over a million dollars. However, it turned out that this amount was still supposed to be very cheap compared to Vincent's other prominent masterpieces.

It was one in a million, and now, it went missing. Bill couldn't believe that such a precious jade piece would just be misplaced.
