Chapter 270

Hearing Cara’s words, everyone widened their eyes in surprise. “What? Have you figured out a way to

restore the painting?”

“Yes.” Cara showed a gentle smile.

Charlie spoke slowly. “Cara had read a lot of related books and finally

found a way to restore this painting. She made a point of telling us, hoping to offer support.”

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this and didn’t know what to do.

The painting was so damaged that no one could repair it. Moreover, the state dinner was just days

away, and they all felt anxious.

Cara finally figured out a way now, and they wanted to try it.

One of the experienced restorers stood up and asked, “Can you explain your method, Ms. Ward?”

Cara smiled slightly and talked eloquently, “We first clean the stains on the painting by conventional

methods and then rinse it with 140 degrees Fahrenheit of hot water to remove the stains on the

surface.”

Cara then stated a lot of professional terms.

Hearing her words, the restorers got excited, and they even cheered up and asked, “This method

sounds feasible. What’s your opinion?”

“We can try it. It sounds like a viable solution.”

Joseph witnessed these restorers gathered around Cara and couldn’t l but sneer. He found them too

fickle.

But they had no other choice. The painting was too difficult to restore i the limited time. Hence, they

were eager to learn Cara’s solution.

Joseph was confused and asked Ashley next to him, “Can ancient paintings be washed in hot water at

140 degrees Fahrenheit, Ashley?”

Ashley nodded. “Sure. The pigments used in ancient painting are generally divided into mineral and

plant pigments. The mineral pigments can spread for a long time and will not be dissolved by water,

which is different from modern ink. In addition, water is used in the paper-making process, so ancient

paintings can withstand washing.”

Simon stroked his beard in agreement. “Ashley is right.”

Joseph benefited a lot from their conversation this time.

After a while, the restorers had heard Cara’s methods and formulated a restoration plan.

Charlie concluded. “This is currently the best restoration plan. As long as wwe do it carefully and make

no mistakes, this painting can be restored to

the greatest extent possible.”

Another restorer urged excitedly, “Then let’s get started! We can’t delay aany longer within a limited

time.”

“Wait a minute.” A restorer with glasses raised his hand to stop them. We’ve been discussing this for a

long time. Why don’t we bring Ashley, SSimon; and Joseph along?”

Chharlie immediately frowned, “They have no idea about restoration.”

Aside only knew how to paint and learned nothing about restoration. Hdenpresence would only cause

trouble for them.

“Wetly you’re right.” The restorer with glasses ignored Ashley and added, “In oodder to ensure the

restore goes smoothly, we need to get the most professional restorer to do it. What’s your opinion?”

Manyyrestorers wanted to restore a famous ancient painting, and they treated itna na professional

achievement.

In order to ensure that the painting could be successfully restored within a limited tine,hey could only

select the most professional one t operate to navidchany accidents.

The restorers doodle at each other. “Charlie is the most profession

“We’ll leave it to you Charlic. We’ll all stand by and offer help anyti We need to ret the painting restored

as soon as possible.”

Charlie considered it for a while and finally nodded. After all, Cara had shown great ability in the

restoration. “Okay.”

A trace of imperceptible pride filled Cara’s eyes.

If she could successfully restore this painting and display it at the state banquet this time, she would

obtain national honors. By then, her reputation would be reversed with ease.

She couldn’t lose to Ashley.

Instead, Ashley would lose everything in the end.

Cara glanced at Ashley provocatively but found Ashley had completely ignored her.

Ashley’s disregard made Cara suddenly grit her teeth hard.

At this time, Joseph kept answering Ashley with questions. She couldn’t stand the noise and only

wanted to get out of there.

At this moment, Henry Anderson walked into the room. He wore a military uniform and looked imposing

with stern eyes.

A young guard accompanied Henry.

The restorers in the room all stood up respectfully when they noticed Henry coming. “There you are,

Mr. Anderson.”

Henry walked into the room neatly and said loudly, “I’m here to monitor the progress of the restoration.

The state banquet is coming up, and we’re running out of time.”

“We have already formulated a restoration plan, Mr. Anderson.”

Hearing this, Henry felt relieved. “Then you go ahead. I’ll take a look here.”

With Henry here, everyone couldn’t help but feel trembling.

After preparing the tools needed, Charlie began to restore the ancient painting while Cara worked on it.

He doused the painting with hot water and then sucked up the water with a towel. Finally, many stains

were removed from the surface, and the painting seemed more charming.

Henry was surprised. “How effective it is!”

A restorer next to him smiled and said, “Charlie is the most experienced restorer here.”

Henry nodded appreciatively.

After cleaning the painting with hot water, Charlie carefully uncovered the paper covering of the

painting.

Joseph, not far away, witnessed this scene and looked dumbfounded. He asked softly, “Is there more

than one layer?”

Ashley couldn’t help but smile and said, “When a painting is framed, there are many layers. But each

layer is so thin that the average person can’t tell it apart.”

As Ashley said, the painting had three layers in total.

The most superficial layer was the paper on which the artist painted, and this layer retained all the ink

of the artist, which was particularly

important.”

Joseph sighed, “Well, Charlie is going through a complicated process right now. Can he make it?”

Ashley smiled slightly, “This step must be handled with care. Otherwise, the painting will be damaged.”

The paper of ancient paintings was so thin that if it was damaged, it was impossible to restore it.

At this time, Charlie held tweezers in his hand and carefully peeled off the covering paper on the right

side of the painting while Cara peeled off the left side.

As a result, Charlie looked up and found Cara’s face turned pale. He couldn’t help but ask, “What’s

wrong?”

Cara shook her head but tightly covered the painting under her hand. “No worries.”

Charlie thought nothing of it and went on with his work. After all, his step at this moment was detailed,

and he couldn’t be distracted.

Time passed by, and Henry looked around curiously. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and

frowned tightly, “What’s wrong with it?”

Hearing this, everyone looked over immediately.
