Chapter 852


    Vera’s room was also severely damaged by the fire.


    Many of the furnishings were scorched and ckened.


    While the vi’s first floor was cleaned up, the second floor had yet to be attended to.


    In the charred and disheveled wardrobe, they found a pile of severely burned clothes and that antique.


    When Patricia saw that the clothes werepletely burned, but the antiques remained intact and vibrant, she was astonished.


    “This thing is really cursed, isn’t it?”


    If she had doubts about the painting being a negative item earlier, the scene before her now was truly shocking.


    “Hand everything over to me,” Skr said to Patricia.


    Patricia nodded quickly. “Alright.”


    She thought to herself, “There’s no use in keeping such negative items anyway.”


    Skr nced at the vi and continued, “Even if it’s repaired, Vera’s family won’t be able to live here.


    Just sell it.”


    Patricia was stunned. “The negative items are all dealt with. Why can’t they still live here? What about the Grimwood


    Residence?”


    “The Grimwood Residence is fine. But if Vera’s family continues to live here, it will catch fire again,” Skr said solemnly.


    Patricia sighed in relief. “Okay, I’ll let them know.”


    Skr handled the two items in front of Patricia. She prepared a few talismans and burned them together,


    Patricia was utterly stunned. The artifact, which had remained unharmed amid the fire, turned to ashes as soon as Skr ced


    the talisman on it.


    Seeing this with her own eyes, Patricia could hardly believe it.


    No wonder people like Alexander trusted and praised Skr. She truly had real abilities.


    Vera was fuming in the family group chat as she read Patricia’s praise for Skr. Meanwhile, Denton and the others breathed a


    sigh of relief.


    Once Patricia confirmed that everything was handled, it felt as if the heavy weight that had been pressing on her for days had


    lifted.


    The feeling was quite mysterious.


    “Vera, our family has paid a terrible price for you this time. Your parents, Aunt Hayden, Uncle Marlon, Hector, and even your


    grandfather–have all been affected. Fortunately, no lives were lost.

    “I asked Skr, and she said that if we had waited another month to find her, our family would have been doomed. Thinking back


    on it now, it’s truly chilling.” Patriciamented in the family group chat, expressing her relief.


    Vera’s expression was dark and grim. She bit her lip tightly.


    Skr really did have some skill.


    The following day at work, Skr updated Alexander on the situation with the Ruell family. After hearing that everything was


    resolved, Alexander smiled with relief.


    “That’s good news,” he said.


    After her conversation with Alexander, Skr prepared to get back to work.


    Caleb approached her with a mysterious air and said, “Skr, you’re my absolute idol! There’s no one like you. Even someone as


    proud as Hector, who barely spoke to me when we were ssmates, reached out to apologize today.


    “It feels amazing! He actually admitted his mistake to me.”


    Skr smiled and asked, “How is he recovering?”


    Caleb replied, “He’ll probably lose some sensitivity in his right hand. He mentioned that he’ll need to endure some hardships


    during his recovery and then get treatment abroad for a while. It shouldn’t be too serious. Since he’s not the one ying the piano


    or violin, the impact is minimal.”


    Boys tended to be more rational about these things. Once something happened, there was no need to dwell on it. The focus was


    on the future and taking action.
