    "Leroy found an ancient tomb there with a lot of treasure. The local Cultural Relics Bureau has been alerted, and they''re negotiating at the moment. I need to rush there to see if apromise is possible."


    Quinton had dyed his business while acting as Joanne''s study buddy.


    Leroy Hollis had informed him about the ancient tomb a week ago, but he was too focused on his studies and didn''t pay too much attention to that news.


    Consequently, the news leaked that week, and the Cultural Relics Bureau was alerted. They wanted all the treasures, or Leroy would be punished severely.


    Based on the photos sent by Chase, it was clear the tomb came with a long history and was an authentic royal tomb. Any item found in there would cost a fortune. If all the treasures were confiscated by the bureau, it would be a great loss for Carmine Pawnshop.


    Besides, Leroy had worked for Carmine Pawnshop for many years. If he was arrested and implicated Carmine Pawnshop, it would be very troublesome. If Quinton hadn''t rushed there to settle it, Carmine Pawnshop would be held ountable for it.


    "Is it hard to settle?" Renee asked.


    Being smart, Renee could tell the ins and outs of the incident with just a few words from Quinton.


    "Isn''t it safer if we don''t do anything at a time like this? If not, we might lose even more when those people demand an exnation from us," she said, worried.


    "I''ll go and check it out. I''ll also try to get in touch with them." Quinton wasn''t the type to back down. He would never retreat unless necessary.


    That ancient tomb was rare and valuable. If he was forced to give it up to his betters, he would regret it. Besides, he had to talk to Leroy first to judge if they should fight for the tomb or give it up.


    "Okay, you''re more experienced in this area. Renee nodded. "Don''t worry about Joanne. She''s fine with me around. Take care of yourself. Call me if you need help. Although I''m not very powerful, I have some connections."


    "Don''t worry, It isn''t a big deal." Quinton patted Renee''s shoulders tofort her. Then, he set off for South City with Chase the next day.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    After driving the two children to school, Renee returned to Everheart Manor to keep giving Joanne lessons.


    "Well, I marked your test paper. You did great except for thest derivative Mathematics question. You got it right for the rest of the paper..."


    Renee seriously marked Joanne''s paper before returning it to thetter.


    She praised, "Joanne, you''re very talented. If you furthered your study back then, you would be an expert by now!"


    "I''ve always been good in my studies. Thank you for your praises." Joanne smiled.


    When she caught a glimpse of Quinton''s former seat, she became disappointed. After holding herself back for half a day, she asked, ''Is he going to quit?"


    "No, he went on a business trip," Renee answered honestly.


    "I guess that''s just an excuse...". Joanne said, finding it a pity.


    She added sincerely, "You said I was great in my studies, but your brother was too. He could learn well even though I just told him what I learned in school. Unfortunately, my parents were terrible at that time. They didn''t give him a chance to go to school, so...


    At that point, Joanne paused and bit her lips.


    "You want him to be your study buddy, don''t you?" Renee asked curiously.
