Chapter 479
“Don’t turn me down just yet, Ms. Sullivan. I can add another million. to my offer so it totals three million. I hope you can restore my porcelain. With your capabilities, I have faith that you’ll be able to fix it.
Although three million was a huge sum, Annabelle believed it would be worth it if she could achieve her goals.
She recalled how she was on the verge of success. When Jeremy learned of her pregnancy in Yley City, he made her return to Jipsburg. Then, he forced her through a detailed examination to confirm when she was due before ordering her to get an abortion.
Although Jeremy hadn’t been so mercilessly direct with her, Annabelle knew that Jeremy only wanted Natalie’s child.
She also knew that Jeremy didn’t want her to give birth to their child. She didn’t have much time left, so she had to restore this porcelain vase as soon as possible.
She thought Skylar would be moved by the three million she’d offered. However, Skylar merely stared coldly at her and stood her ground. She said, “I’m not going to change my answer even if you offered me ten
million.”
Annabelle’s expression changed into one of utter disbelief. She demanded, “Give me a reason!”
She didn’t understand. She was giving her money, and Skylar didn’t even want it?
Chapter 479
Skylar thought too highly of herself. The price Annabelle was offering was multiple times the market price.
“Why do we need to give you a reason? She just doesn’t want to help. you restore it. End of story,” Caleb stated. He then rolled his eyes with
a cold chuckle.
Didn’t she know what kind of horrible antique she was holding on to? How did she have the guts to ask why?
Before leaving, Skylar changed her mind. She said, “Perhaps I can
help you restore it if you tell me where you purchased it.”
Many negative items have popped up recently. Skylar kept feeling like this wasn’t a coincidence. These objects would bring misfortune to
many people.
Some people had no idea that the antiques they’d spent a fortune on were objects that could harm or kill them.
Annabelle’s gaze turned shifty as she avoided making eye contact with Skylar. She said, “Why are you asking? Whether you choose to accept my case has nothing to do with where I got my porcelain, right?”
Alexander didn’t interrupt them as he’d guessed what Skylar was trying to do. He gave Caleb a look, indicating that he wasn’t allowed to say anything out of turn.
“I also want to buy one. Is this reason enough? If you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine. I’ve been busy recently, and I don’t have time to restore your porcelain,” Skylar said tonelessly.
She didn’t seem to be behaving any differently.
Chapter 47
Annabelle frowned and explained, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. I bought this on a whim when I was abroad. The seller told me that it’s my destiny to buy the porcelain vase. I have no idea who he even is, let alone his identity.”
He’d warned her not to disclose anything about him to anyone. If not,
she’d be screwed.

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....
