Chapter 834


    ?


    Skr hadn''t figured out why she felt that way when they stepped into Edwin''s study.


    Edwin''s study was big, but it didn''t show many signs of use. A ss cupboard held a few antiques that looked quite valuable.


    Skr followed Joe over and studied every single one of them in detail.


    "I can give you anything you want from this collection. However, I can''t part with the emerald pendant in your hand," Edwin hurriedly said after catching Joe ignored him, looking at Skr instead.


    She observed them one by one. Then, she shook her head. There was nothing wrong with the antiques.


    Skr scanned her surroundings. None of the decorative items in the room were negative items either.


    “None of these are interesting enough for me. I''ll be taking the pendant with me," announced Joe. He took Skr''s hand and left Edwin''s study, paying no mind to Edwin''s protests.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Edwin was about to explode with fury. Joe had shown up just to piss him off, hadn''t he? He knew Edwin valued the pendant, so he came to take it away from Edwin.


    "No way. I''ve worn the pendant for years and gotten used to having it with me. I''ll feel out of sorts if I give it to you," refused Edwin.


    Joe was basically robbing him.


    It didn''t matter whether the pendant was a negative item or not. What mattered was that it would help him achieve his goals and remain happily alive. Joe stood in ce. He looked down at Edwin disdainfully. Edwin''s heart raced.


    "I don''t care about what you''re trying to achieve using this crap. From this moment onward, stop whatever it is,manded Joe coldly.


    Edwin was rendered speechless for a moment.


    Molly insisted stiffly, "It isn''t a piece


    .ne


    of crap. It''s a lucky talisman your dad likes to wear. Don''t think of this pendant as something evil just. because other families were dealt an unfortunate hand. Right now you''re no better than a robber." Content

    "I think you know the consequences of wearing the pendant," Skr interjected. She stared into Molly''s eyes.


    Molly froze for a moment. Then, she


    el


    broke eye contact with Skr as though she had something to hide. She huffed, "What would I know? What consequences would it bring? It''s just an emerald pendant. I''m no longer indulging in superstitious traditions at my age and you


    shouldn''t too. It isn''t a good thing to

    "If


    I find another simr object, you''ll suffer the same fate as Lester,” Joe threatened. There was no need to waste time giving them advice. Threats were Molly quietened, looking affronted.


    Edwin''s eyes widened.


    The asshole! Joe was a little shit! He was Edwin''s son. How audacious of Joe to threaten him!


    Edwin trembled with anger. He remembered Lester Ross'' fate. Death would''ve been preferable over what he went through,


    Even today, Lester could only dream


    of returning to the country. He''d been Edwin''s most trusted friend. They were as close as brothers. Who knew Joe would deal with him in such a cruel way?


    Now, he even used Lester against him as a threat!


    A few minutes after Joe and Skr left, Edwin could no longer contain his anger. He grabbed a vase and threw it at the door with a loud crash.


    All the helpers were terrified. They didn''t even dare to move a muscle.
