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 porcin. 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 sess. 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 porcin vase as soon as possible.


    She thought Skr would be moved by the three million she’d offered. However, Skr 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 Skr didn’t even want it?


    Skr 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, Skr 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. Skr 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 Skr. She said, “Why are


    you asking? Whether you choose to ept my case has nothing to do with where I got my


    porcin, right?”


    Alexander didn’t interrupt them as he’d guessed what Skr 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 porcin,” Skr said tonelessly.


    She didn’t seem to be behaving any differently.


    Annabelle frowned and exined, “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 porcin 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.


    Annabelle had gone through too much recently. She didn’t dare to


    take the risk.


    Skr nced at Annabelle thoughtfully and said, “Alright. Since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t


    force you to.”


    Skr walked out immediately afterward.


    Since Annabelle was unwilling toe clean, she wouldn’t tell Skr anything, no matter how


    much she asked. Perhaps she’d been threatened to keep her mouth shut.


    Skr felt that Annabelle must’ve owned more than one negative


    item.


    Caleb followed Skr out.


    Annabelle frowned. She turned back to Alexander and asked, “Can’t you help me, Mr. Gardner


    Senior? This porcin vase is extremely important to me. If Skr won’t do it, is there someone


    else in your team who can help me?”
