Richest Mogul 1139


    Skr and Vera met on the third floor of the library.


    Vera’s face was pale, and she only removed her face mask after entering the library and seeing


    Skr.


    Fortunately, there weren’t many people in the library today, and no one paid attention to what others


    were doing.


    The statue wasn’trge and had been carried in Vera’s backpack.


    It was a smiling statue, but there were some strange markings on its hands and stomach, so Skr


    examined it closely.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    As she stared intently at the statue without speaking, Vera grew anxious. “Is something wrong?” she


    asked.


    She had been told that the cursed statue wasn’t that dangerous, only causing some bad luck. But


    now, seeing Skr’s serious expression, she felt uneasy.


    “There is indeed something unusual. The photo you sent me didn’t capture the patterns on its feet,”


    Skr said while carefully inspecting the intricate markings on the feet. It was different from those


    on its stomach and hands.


    The markings on the feet were eerie, like some kind of symbol, twisted and ovepping.


    ‘‘I didn’t notice that,” Vera said as she followed Skr’s gaze to the faint patterns. The strange


    markings made her heart race uncontrobly.


    “Let me take another look,” Skr said, still unable to fully understand the statue’s significance.


    The craftsmanship was rough, likely from the Wiktorian era. When she first touched it, she didn’t


    sense anything harmful, which led her to conclude that it wasn’t dangerous.


    But now, reconsidering Vera’s recent drastic personality changes, it seemed the statue might be


    influencing her.


    Vera’s nerves were on edge. Skr suddenly asked while examining the statue, “Did Molly ever


    mention who the original owner of this statue or ring was?”


    “No. I asked her before, but she only said it belonged to a highly respected elder whom she rarely


    met. By the way, I think today’s car ident was strange. The car didn’t seem to have identally


    hit her–it felt intentional. Even if the driver was drunk, they should’ve tried to brake, right? But the


    driver kept pressing the elerator until they hit Molly.” Vera found herself unexpectedly calm while


    talking to Skr


    Perhaps it was because Skr had divorced Joe; they shared a simr fate, creating a mutual


    2/2


    understanding. For the first time in a while, Vera felt some peace. Lately, she hadn’t experienced


    any calmness.


    Skr frowned. She felt that Vi coincidental.


    recent death and Molly’s sudden car ident were too


    Someone wanted Molly dead, or perhaps they feared she knew too much. As for Vi, she had


    foreseen her own death.


    Joe would likely uncover some truths soon, and the police would investigate further, so these


    matters weren’t hers to worry about for now.


    What concerned her was the statue in front of her, which puzzled her.


    “This statue isn’t really dangerous, is it? I shouldn’t have trusted Molly in the first ce. I was so out


    of it, and she managed to trick her with just a few words,” Vera said regretfully.


    Skr turned the statue over to examine the back. Then, she looked up and asked, “Have you been


    sleeping poorlytely?”


    Vera nodded vigorously. “Yes! Every time I close my eyes, I feel restless and agitated. I can’t calm


    down, and I barely get three hours of sleep a night.”


    “That makes sense. This statue will gradually make you irritable and unable to stay calm. On top of


    that, as you encounter more bad luck, the negative energy around you increases, and the good


    fortune you once had is absorbed by the statue and transferred to its true owner, Skr said, feeling


    increasingly uneasy as she spoke.
