    Joe understood.


    "This is Edwin''s pendant?"


    "Yeah."


    Skr exined how Charlene sought her out so he understood what had happened.


    Joe was silent for a few minutes after her exnation.


    Then, he chuckled, "This exins why he suddenly turned into such a monster two years ago. He''d passed as a half-


    decent human being before that. The negative item only exacerbated his true colors."


    Joe had never hidden his loathing of Edwin from Skr


    "He''ll probably im it from the police soon. I think you need to handle this. This negative item affects his blood rtives as well as himself. In a few y health will be in shambles. Edwin would spend most of his time hospitalized," warned Skr.


    Joe''s expression turned grim. He asked, "How does it affect me?"


    Skr''s expression wasplicated as she answered, "You''ll have a rocky rtionship. If you have children, your family would fall to pieces."

    Joe nced at her. Did she say his family would fall to pieces?


    He hadn''t been expecting such a conclusion.


    "Do you have to be the one dealing with the emerald pendant?" Joe posed the question after a few moments of silence.


    "Yeah, it needs to be me. In addition, I think there are other negative items with the Martins, other than the jade pendant," guessed Skr.


    From what had happened recently, Skr could guess what the man behind the scenes was aiming for. He wanted to destroy the dominating families


    This person was unable to contend with them when it came to business deals. They would only achieve their goals through such sinister plots. How ev Joe fell silent. Then, he said, "I''ll make the arrangements. Sorry for troubling you with this."


    Skr looked down and said, "No worries. This might affect Grandma, after all."


    She couldn''t sit and watch misfortune befall them if Gloria was at stake.


    Joe smirked coldly, Gloria was more important to Skr than he was. This position...


    It made Joe feel out of sorts. He stood up and dered, "I''ll be going out."

    She dreamt about the Ruells'' crisis.


    Just as she was returning to her room, she saw Jenny in a wheelchair. Their eyes met.
