Skylar took the emerald pendant and examined it closely. It was evident that the emerald pendant was quite old, though it had been well preserved.
However, the quality of the emerald pendant was not exceptional.
Skylar recalled Charlene's family background. Charlene's parents worked in factories with modest wages, and sending Charlene to college had been a significant challenge.
However, Charlene was now employed and earning a stable income, so her family's financial situation should be improving.
However…
"Are you sure this emerald pendant was passed down from your great-grandfather?" Skylar asked.
Charlene's eyes flickered, and she avoided Skylar's gaze. She said, "That's what my great-grandfather said. No one in our family knows for sure if it's genuinely a family heirloom. Skylar, can you tell me if it's real and how much it's worth?"
"It's a genuine emerald pendant from the Golden Age, not a fake. But… it wasn't passed down from your great-grandfather, was it? Charlene, your family shouldn't keep this item.
"Your family won't be able to handle the trouble it brings. Where did you get it from? Who was the original owner?"
Skylar's gaze grew sharp as she bombarded Charlene with questions, making her face turn pale.
Moreover, Charlene couldn't bring herself to meet Skylar's eyes. His body was trembling uncontrollably.
She couldn't believe that Skylar had seen through her. The current situation of being questioned was something Charlene hadn't anticipated.
"I don't understand why you're doubting me. Skylar, we were college classmates and even roommates. We're that close, so why would you doubt me? Although my family is quite ordinary, it doesn't mean we don't have anything valuable.
"I just hadn't mentioned it before. I remembered I have something to do, so thank you for today. I need to leave now."
Charlene quickly took back the emerald pendant from Skylar's hands and attempted to leave.
Seeing this, Skylar frowned and warned, "I'm not exaggerating. Your family can't afford to keep this item. It could cost lives."

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....
