Chapter 743
Skylar placed her hand on the caligraphed quote. The history of the artifact came alive in her mind.
It was a simple word–belief. However, it scrambled people’s brains. Ultimately, they sunk into a world of their imagination, not knowing the difference between reality and dreams.
Whether they had been an emperor or a knight, the possessors of this canvas ended up with their sanity in shambles.
Rowan’s expression changed. He exclaimed, “What?”
Jeremiah was horrified. He asked, “That serious?”
“Dad, hadn’t you heard what happened to Mr. Solarius Senior and Mr. Doherty Senior? Many of their family members had died! You should’ve heard about
this from Mr. Gardner Senior!”
Rowan was afraid Jeremiah wouldn’t believe in Skylar. If he refused to trust her, their family would be screwed! Rowan wasn’t capable enough to manage their assets yet!
“Stop talking. I want to hear what Skylar has to say.”
The astonishment on his face hadn’t receded yet. He had heard of what had happened. However, he believed he hadn’t fallen for it since it had not
happened to him. Did he fall into a trap unknowingly?
Rowan said nothing more. He waited for Skylar to speak.
“Mr. Jakeman, where did you purchase it? Do you remember who you bought it from?” asked Skylar.
Jeremiah frowned and answered, “I can’t recall. I do remember it was an old- man. Weirdly enough, I can’t seem to remember what he looked like.”
He wasn’t old enough for memory loss. He could remember everything that he needed to manage the company. However, when prompted by Skylar, he realized he couldn’t recall the person’s face.
Skylar’s expression was grim as she said, “Recently, negative items like this

have been popping up throughout Jipsburg. It has hurt multiple people. I believe they’re from the same person.”
“How dare they scheme against me? I’ll send people to seek them out,” roared Jeremiah furiously.
“It would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Mr. Jakeman, just burn this canvas,” said Skylar.
She would destroy artifacts like this on sight. There was no way she would give them the chance to hurt others..
Skylar didn’t know how Viola handled negative items like these. For her, she would destroy it.
“Will burning it do the job?” asked Jeremiah.
Rowan was terrified that Jeremiah would regret it. He proposed, “I’ll burn it!”
“Burn it at noon on the dot,” advised Skylar.
Jeremiah looked rather pale. He stared at Rowan with the relief of narrowly escaping death. Rowan was taking it down. He said, “You’ve done something/ right for once. If more time had passed, the consequences would be dire.”
Rowan was speechless for a moment before he said, “Dad, have Skylar examine the artifacts you’ve bought from overseas. any of them end up being negative items, what will happen to Mom and me?”
Rowan would like to have fun for a few more years.
“This is the only thing I’ve gotten overseas recently. I didn’t purchase anything else.”

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....
