As soon as she opened her eyes, Christopher reprimanded her immediately, "Didn’t you say that no one else would be able to find those antiques aside from you? Now, all of our antiques are gone! They're all gone! How is our family going to survive and continue living now?" 7
Lady Wilson could not help but feel a sharp pain in her heart. She could not stop crying out loud.

If I had known that things would end up like this, I wouldn't have hid all of my antiques at home even if it would kill me!" s
As she spoke, the old lady could not stop the tears from flowing down her cheeks. "It’s over. Everything i s really over now! My hard work in this entire lifetime i s really over!" 6
