Richest Mogul 1007
Rowan, Aiken, and even people from the Ruell family, as well as Alexander, George, and
Frank, all spoke highly of Skr. They elevated her to a status of great admiration. Now, Joe
was doing the same.
Vera wondered why everyone seemed to hold Skr in such high regard. She wondered if it
was due to Skr’s ability to restore antiques and handle negative items.
Vera wondered if anyone had considered that Skr might be responsible for many of these
problems. It seemed impossible that so many supposedly harmful negative items could appear
in Jipsburg City without any connection to her. Vera couldn’t believe it was merely a
coincidence.
As Molly had said, many of Jipsburg’s recent disturbances were rted to Skr. Without her,
the Ruell family might not have faced their recent troubles.”
“Skr, I’ll be watching closely to see how long you can keep up this charade. Soon, someone
will reveal your true nature. You better stay away from Jipsburg, or I’ll make sure you
understand the consequences
of crossing me.
“And Joe won’t be able to tolerate your deception and maniption for long. I know your
marriage to Joe is thanks to Mrs. Martin Senior. Once she sees your true colors, who will you
rely on?”
As Vera prepared to leave the balcony, she noticed her reflection in a mirror on the table. The
mirror showed her face contorted with rage and jealousy, her eyes burning with envy.
The sight was shocking and horrifying. She stiffened, staring at the reflection as if it were a
stranger.
“How did I be so twisted? I’m supposed to be admired as a member of the Ruell family.
How could I be so jealous of Skr?”
While she muttered to herself, she suddenly realized someone was watching her. She turned
sharply toward the balcony and saw…

“Paul? You’re staying next door to me?”
Paul looked at Vera with aplex expression. “There was an issue with the room I was
originally staying in, so the staff moved me to this room.“,
He had only been on the balcony for a few minutes. Paul was somewhat surprised to see Vera
on the balcony. However, he hadn’t expected Vera to be muttering to herself with such
conviction.
With the wind today, he hadn’t caught every word. He could vaguely hear mentions of Skr,
her true nature, and her jealousy toward Skr.
To him, Vera had always been an arrogant and imperious figure. Yet, there was something
disconcertingly unfamiliar about her demeanor just now.
Ever since he learned that Vera was also in Fachington and staying at this hotel, he sensed
something
was off.
Vera’s face darkened. “So that’s how it is,” she said before making to leave the balcony.
But then she paused as if recalling something important.
Turning back to Paul, she said, “As Joe’s assistant, you need to stay calm and handle things
with a clear mind. You should be aware of what Skr is really like. Any issues concerning her
should be directly reported to Joe. That way, Joe won’t be misled by Skr.”
Paul frowned and said, “Ms. Ruell, are you suggesting Mrs. Martin is deceiving Joe? I think you
might be
mistaken.”

Paul suddenly understood why something had felt off earlier and why Vera had seemed so
strange. When she spoke of Skr, her disdain was evident, as if she saw Skr as nothing
but a fraud.
“Skr was able to marry Joe partly because of Mrs. Martin Senior, but shees from an
ordinary background. For Mrs. Martin Senior to look at her favorably and for Joe to agree to a
sh marriage, there must be something more.
“Skr must have used some underhanded methods to achieve this. You should investigate
her thoroughly,” Vera said, her brows furrowed.
She didn’t want to borate further. She didn’t want Paul to think she was overly concerned
with Joe.
Paul’s frown deepened. “Ms. Ruell, you must be mistaken. Mrs. Martin acts with integrity and
has never used any underhanded tactics.”
Paul wondered if someone had misled Vera. Otherwise, she shouldn’t have such baseless
suspicion about Skr.
