Chapter 835
Molly woke from her stupor. After realizing that Joe had taken the pendant, a thought popped into her head. She said, “He hasn’t picked up on
Mat’s going on, has he? Do you think he might’ve found the fountain pen we had Jenny give him?”
Edwin had forgotten all about this. At Molly’s reminder, he paled.
Slowly, he calmed down. Then, he replied, “I don’t think so. If he had found out about that, he wouldn’t have settled with just taking my pendant. Losing it was my mistake. I forgot we were in Jipsburg. I let the news get out on how I was seeking it out. It was only a matter of time before he knew.”
Joe was the bane of his existence!
“Now what? He’ll definitely destroy the pendant now that he’s taken it from us. Have you forgotten what the master said? Only by wearing the pendant for long stretches of time will Joe’s power diminish. When that happens, you’ll rule over the Martins. No one will be able to hold a candle to your power.” Molly frowned.
Edwin inhaled deeply and said, “I’ve been wearing it for years now. Have you seen any sign of Joe weakening? On the contrary, he’s been gaining his footing in the Martin family. Perhaps it’s just a psychological trick.”
Molly was stunned. Edwin used to keep the emerald pendant close to him as though it was his most priceless treasure. He wouldn’t have referred to it as a psychological trick.

In early photographs of Joe, he looked much more grim than he did now.
Suddenly, Molly thought of Skylar.
Her appearance had caused a change in the situation Molly thought had been set in stone.

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....
