Chapter 583


    After all, Alexander wasn’t sure what was going on.


    “I’ve lived here for many years. In the past few years, I’ve started to regret building such a great


    estate,” Harry reflected.

    He wasn’t in a wheelchair today. He held a walking stick in hand.


    Although he wasn’t walking very quickly, he began panting after a while.


    Harry looked ten years older than Alexander when the former was younger than thetter.


    Alexander’s heart was in agony. Harry used to be a handsome young man who was impulsive and


    reckless. It seemed like yesterday. While video calling, Alexander hadn’t felt anything much. Now


    that they’d met, sadness overcame him.


    They had all grown old.


    “It’s alright. The only problem is that there aren’t many people living here, which makes it seem big.


    The scenery here is excellent.”


    Skr looked around imperceptibly.


    When they’d first met Harry, Alexander merely introduced her as his employee. Thus, no one was


    paying her much attention. She could scan her surroundings meticulously.


    After entering his mansion, she observed the interior. There were all sorts of antiques on disy.


    Although Harry did not have many helpers in his house, he’d installed a security system and had


    guards on duty.


    The people in Liberty County were honest people. No one dared to break in or do anything to them.


    Skr could tell that Harry was an avid collector.


    Suddenly, Skr’s eyes caught on a small antique. It was merely a small phoenix- shaped porcin


    figurine. It wasn’t a modern piece.


    Due to the vastness of the mansion and the number of things there, the figurine was easily


    overlooked.


    “It’s just a small figurine. If you like it, you can take it,” Harry said kindly. He’d noticed Skr’s gaze.

    It wasn’t worth much–rather cheap as a meeting gift. However, if she liked it, it would be worth more


    than its material value


    Alexander immediately looked at the figurine. Then, he shot a questioning look at


    Skr.


    She smiled at Harry and thanked him. Then, she refused it by saying, “This is an antique. It’s


    expensive. I can’t ept it.”


    Then, she nodded at Alexander. This little figurine was the problem. It was easily ignored.


    “Where did you buy this?” Alexander asked Harry.


    Harry was about to say something. When he heard Alexander’s question, he replied with a smile,


    “Two years ago, I’d won that painting in an auction. My friend gifted it to me. It looked pleasing to


    the eye. I epted it because I didn’t want to refuse his kindness.”


    “A friend? Do I know him?” asked Alexander.


    Harry did not think much of it. He answered, “Probably not. I hadn’t known him for long when he


    gave that to me. We got along well and won many things in an auction. Once I returned to the


    country, we lost contact.”


    “So that’s what happened. He must’ve done so on purpose. He approached you on purpose just to


    give the porcin figure to you,” Alexander said. His eyes narrowed as his expression turned


    somber.


    Harry was dumbfounded. He asked, “What? Was it done on purpose? This figurine shouldn’t be


    worth much. Why did he get into trouble for doing this?”


    Upon asking the question, an idea popped into his head, and his expression changed swiftly. He


    said, “Alexander, are you saying that there’s something wrong with this figurine? Has it caused all


    the misfortune that befell us in thest two years?”


    “Right… It seems like everything began after I came back from overseas. idents happened one


    after another. I’ve asked numerous people to help me understand what’s happening, but none could


    tell. How did you figure it out?”


    Alexander shook his head somberly and answered, “I wasn’t the one who figured it out. It was Skye.


    She’s been Vi’s apprentice since a young age.”


    At the mention of Vi, Harry’s eyes widened.
