Chapter 1046
Was it Skylar’s ring?
But Joe didn’t remember her ever wearing something like this. He picked it up and examined it more
closely.
His sharp features softened slightly as recognition dawned–it was Vera’s ring. She must have dropped it last night.
The ring didn’t seem like just a casual trinket one would give someone for fun.
The emerald on it…
Joe found himself momentarily lost in thought as he gazed at the stone.
At the auction, Skylar waited for Minerva to arrive.
Minerva had run into some traffic and was running late. When she finally showed up, she was a bit flustered. “I’m so sorry! There was an accident on the road, and it caused a huge delay. Have you been waiting long?”
Minerva had been anxiously checking the time the whole way, worried she’d miss their appointment.
Missing the auction wouldn’t have been a big deal–there were plenty of these events in Jipsburg–but being late to something she had arranged with Skylar? That was just rude.
“I just got here myself. The auction starts in five minutes. Let’s head in,” Skylar said with a smile.
“Alright.”
Once seated, the two started chatting casually.
Despite not knowing each other for very long or having spent much time together, they quickly found common ground. It felt like they had been friends for years.
“What do you think of this emerald set?” Minerva asked, showing Skylar a stunning collection of imperial green emerald jewelry–a bracelet, earrings, and a necklace.
Skylar examined it carefully. “It’s perfect for gifting to an elder. I don’t see any issues.”
“Then I’ll bid on it.” Minerva confidently raised her paddle.

On the way out, Minerva couldn’t help but ask, “Was it just me, or was there no cursed item at this
auction?”
It seemed like Skylar had given Minerva the green light to bid on every item she had her eye on. Minerva was outbid by others a few times, but she didn’t seem to mind.
Skylar laughed. “No, there was nothing cursed this time. Honestly, there usually aren’t cursed objects on the market, but in the past year or so, they’ve started to show up more frequently.
“Someone is deliberately circulating them. Whenever you’re thinking of adding more antiques or artifacts to your collection, just ask me to take a look first.”

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
