Chapter 1055
Joe didn’t lack intelligence. 1
Considering Vera’s recent unusual behavior, combined with the effect the ring had on him earlier, he would be a complete fool if he failed to deduce who the ring was truly meant for.
Skylar said nothing further. After a careful inspection she rubbed her eyes and focused intently on the inside of the ring.
“Do you have a magnifying glass at home?” she asked.
“Yes, I’ll go get it,” Joe replied.
A few minutes later, Joe returned from upstairs with a magnifying glass. Skylar took it and immediately examined the interior of the ring.
When she saw the engraved patterns, her earlier confusion began to clear.
“No wonder…” she murmured.
“What do you mean, no wonder?” Joe asked.
Skylar traced her fingers over the shallow patterns. They were so subtle that without a closer look, one could easily mistake them for scratches.
“Take a look. Don’t you find these patterns strange? Because of these patterns, people wouldn’t realize it’s a negative item.”
Joe took the magnifying glass and examined the area she indicated.
He did see some patterns, but they looked somewhat haphazard to him, and he couldn’t fathom their significance.
“They really are there,” he said.
Skylar smiled and nodded. “Next time a suspicious antique comes up, I’ll examine it for these patterns.
Finally, she discovered the flaw in the negative item.
“Oh, right. Vera probably feels anxious about losing the ring. Has she asked you to retrieve it?” she inquired.
Joe stared at her for a moment. “No.”
Skylar felt a bit perplexed under his gaze. Surely, there wasn’t anything on her face. However, the pressing matter was what to do with the ring.
“Is she really not anxious about losing the ring?” Skylar turned the ring over in her hands, examining it closely.
It was quite beautiful. If it weren’t a negative item, it would be lovely to wear on a regular basis.
“She’s worn this ring every time I’ve seen her recently,” Joe recalled thoughtfully.
Skylar nodded, glancing at Joe as if she wanted to say something but then held back. Given Joe’s relationship with Vera, she felt it was better not to say too much.
In truth, Vera’s repeated appearances with the ring would undoubtedly bring about changes and influence
Joe significantly. If he loved Vera deeply, his feelings would only grow stronger.
But if he didn’t, the ring’s effects might still make him see Vera as someone exceptional, gradually

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....
