Chapter 765

At home, the antique painting looked even better than it had at the auction.
Its traditional charm was irresistible. The artwork depicted portraits of people and scenes from daily life, creating the illusion of stepping into another world.
Vera was equally enchanted by it, while Denton gazed at it in silence for a long time. Finally, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “Excellent! This is a marvelous painting. It surpasses any of the ones I’ve collected before.”
“I’m glad you like it, Grandpa.”
“This is the best birthday gift I’ve received this year.”
It was rare for Denton to show such enthusiasm. This was the first time Vera had
seen him so animated. His reaction confirmed that he truly appreciated the gift, and Vera felt relieved for winning the painting at the auction.
She hadn’t expected Alexander’s pettiness after losing the bid on the painting he wanted to give Skylar, he complained to her grandfather. He even claimed the two items she had bought were cursed and would bring misfortune, but to Vera, they were just fine pieces. She couldn’t see where any trouble could arise.
Jenny finally had a private moment with Joe in the underground parking lot. Seeing him brought back all the recent turmoil, and her eyes filled with tears. “Joe…”
Before college, they didn’t see each other daily but met frequently. Even after she moved to Korel City, he visited her at college. Although he only came when she was hospitalized, it still showed that he cared–so being neglected now felt particularly hurtful.
Paul noticed Jenny’s reddened eyes and quickly scanned their surroundings. Thankfully, no one else was nearby.
“Is something wrong?” Joe asked.
As a tear rolled down Jenny’s cheek, she quickly wiped it away. “I’m just… I’ve been dealing with a lot at work lately and am starting to doubt myself. Since you taught me so much when I was younger, I wanted to see you first.”
Her eyes were earnest, revealing no hidden motives.
Paul was perplexed by Jenny’s transformation since returning to Jipsburg. He wondered if she truly believed a seemingly plausible excuse could conceal her

intentions. If he could discern her deception, Joe, with his keen intuition, would surely see through it as well.

“There’s no need to doubt yourself. Just focus on doing your job well,” Joe said. He Towered his gaze and maintained his usual demeanor.

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....
