Assembling an Epoch Collection was just unbelievable. Even if an archaeologist came, they wouldn’t
necessarily be able to pick them.
out.
After all, Robert had that jar of copper coins sitting around for five or
six years. Countless people had come and gone, and sometimes he couldn’t even give those copper
coins away as gifts.
Those who came to browse items only cared about the prices. Who
would be interested in these rusty copper coins? But Wynter hit the
jackpot.
Robert’s heart was hurting the most. Looking at the jar, he pulled on
his hair and exclaimed, “I was really blind!”
For so many years, he didn’t even know that he had something so valuable at home. Robert was
choked up with regret, and his eyes
turned red.
He was distraught that he had let go of something worth several
million dollars for just six thousand, and they were included as part of a gift. The more Robert thought
about it, the more he couldn’t breathe.
Just as he thought he was going to suffocate from the pain, Wynter
suddenly spoke up.
“Mr. Lott, this jar was a candle jar, right? It looks quite old too. It was
likely collected from the same place as the copper coins I picked out.
She was clearly passing a message.
If Robert didn’t understand this, then he truly was foolish. “Y- Yes.

Yes! It was collected from the same place. My ancestors used it in
the past.”
“It should have been used in front of a guardian angel.” Wynter smiled
faintly.
Robert’s face was full of shock at her words. “How did you know?”
“There are some candle wax on these coins,” Wynter said.
Then she tapped the candle jar with her fingertips. “The guardian
angel watches over the family and brings them luck. Fewer people
believe in it now, but having a candle jar that was once lit for the
guardian angel is truly a treasure. You’re quite lucky, Mr. Lott.”
Robert felt a surge of emotion. “You figured it out and didn’t try to
take it from me?”
“I’m praying for my family’s safety, so ten copper coins and one
charm are enough.” Wynter smiled gently. “There are still over 20
copper coins here.”
There was no need to go into further detail. The vendors rushed up
a frenzy at once.
“Mr. Lott, we’re quite close, aren’t we? You should sell these copper
coins to me!”
“Sell them to me! Name your price. Ten thousand dollars each, okay?”
“I’ll offer 500 thousand dollars for the candle jar, Mr. Lott!”
Seeing this, Ronan also joined in. “Mr. Lott, my niece was the one who recognized the candle jar. Sell it
to me. I’ll offer one million dollars! I’ll offer another 500 thousand dollars for the copper coins!”

1.5 million dollars! Robert could earn 1.5 million dollars just for a
neglected item.
He was tempted but didn’t agree. “I’ll only sell five copper coins for 20 thousand dollars each. I won’t
sell the candle jar.”
“Why are you keeping the candle jar?” Ronan was anxious.
Robert glanced at Wynter. “To remind myself that family is more important.” It was clear that Robert
was very grateful to Wynter.
Normally, knowledgeable buyers would want to buy everything. Many small vendors sometimes
regretted sales so deeply that it affected
their mental health.
But Wynter was saving him with her words earlier. She left him the
items and made his business thrive.
Out of gratitude, he brought out all the Evercrest Gems he had in the
stall. “Take your time and pick. This batch is of excellent quality. I’ll
give them to you.”
“It’s okay. Just charge me the market price.” Wynter signaled fo
to pay. “One thousand dollars apiece.”
Robert refused to accept anything. “Just let Sir Rathbone bring you often. Your advice will benefit me
greatly.”
“You’re exaggerating, Mr. Lott.” Wynter took a red string from his stall.
“I’ll take this as your token of gratitude. May you have a booming
business.”
As Wynter left, countless vendors surrounded Robert.

Some vendors even said directly, “Mr. Lott, whatever that young lady
saw and wanted just now, I want the same!”
