Joe understood.

“This is Edwin’s pendant?”

“Yeah.”

Skylar explained how Charlene sought her out so he understood what had happened.

Joe was silent for a few minutes after her explanation.

Then, he chuckled, “This explains why he suddenly turned into such a monster two years ago. He’d passed as a half–decent human being before that. The negative item only exacerbated his true colors.”

Joe had never hidden his loathing of Edwin from Skylar

“He’ll probably claim it from the police soon. I think you need to handle this. This negative item affects his blood relatives as well as himself. In a few years, his health will be in shambles. Edwin would spend most of his time hospitalized,” warned Skylar.

Joe’s expression turned grim. He asked, “How does it affect me?”

Skylar’s expression was complicated as she answered, “You’ll have a rocky relationship. If you have children, your family would fall to pieces.”

Every single man who’d possessed the emerald pendant suffered a similar fate. There were no exceptions. Even on their deathbed, they’d think that they were unlucky and had given into their lust too easily.

Joe glanced at her. Did she say his family would fall to pieces?

He hadn’t been expecting such a conclusion.

“Do you have to be the one dealing with the emerald pendant?” Joe posed the question after a few moments of silence.

“Yeah, it needs to be me. In addition, I think there are other negative items with the Martins, other than the jade pendant,” guessed Skylar.

From what had happened recently, Skylar could guess what the man behind the scenes was aiming for. He wanted to destroy the dominating families of Jipsburg.

This person was unable to contend with them when it came to business deals. They would only achieve their goals through such sinister plots. How evil.

Joe fell silent. Then, he said, “I’ll make the arrangements. Sorry for troubling you with this.”

Skylar looked down and said, “No worries. This might affect Grandma, after all.”

She couldn’t sit and watch misfortune befall them if Gloria was at stake.

Joe smirked coldly, Gloria was more important to Skylar than he was. This position…

It made Joe feel out of sorts. He stood up and declared, “I’ll be going out.”

Vera went to see Buck. Then, she visited Penelope. Their hospital rooms were right beside each other’s. She was the one who suffered the least injuries. Thus, she was able to get out of bed and wander around.

For the past few days, she had been submerged in anxiety. Just now, she’d taken a nap. However, it

wasn’t a restful nap, as she had been tortured by a nightmare. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She dreamt about the Ruells‘ crisis.

Just as she was returning to her room, she saw Jenny in a wheelchair. Their eyes met.

“What happened to you?” Vera scanned Jenny from head to toe.

Hadn’t she said that she was working at Joe’s company?

Joe had raised Jenny. She looked like a fragile flower who needed to be nurtured in order to survive. Most of them knew the romantic intentions Jenny harbored for Joe.

While she referred to Joe as her brother, she wanted to date him. Thus, Vera disliked Jenny.

Jenny wasn’t expecting to run into Vera. She’d seen that the Ruells had gotten into an accident on the

news. There had also been a fire. Although they both stayed at Apollo Hospital, the inpatient department there was gigantic. The chance of them running into each other was minuscule.

Jenny didn’t want to stay in her room. She needed some air.
