My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399 

Joe should bid on some items to give to Skylar to improve their relationship as a couple.

He subtly nodded. They had a mutual understanding. A glance and a nod were all it took to know each 

other’s intentions. 

Gioria was very pleased with Joe’s response. It was good that he was looking out for his wife. 

Joe might not have noticed, but his attitude toward Skylar had changed recently. It wasn’t the same as the previously staged affection for Gloria’s sake. 

Now, there was a hint of genuine affection in his gaze towards Skylar. How much was unclear, but there 

was some. 

Unaware of the silent exchange between Joe and Gloria, Skylar focused on the auction items. 

Janet scoffed inwardly as she watched Skylar’s serious attention to each auction piece. Despite her youth, she had a remarkable composure. Even if she lacked skill, her calm demeanor set her apart from 

many girls. 

When a painting was presented, it sparked murmurs among the attendees. 

The artwork was by Viola. 

Viola was a well–known figure among the elite in Jipsburg. Many had once queued up, offering hefty for her art. A foreigner had bought this particular painting and now returned to auction.

Viola was renowned for her extensive astronomy and geography knowledge and ability to read people’s 

fate. She was also an expert in identifying and restoring antiques. 

Even the highly respected Alexander addressed her as a mentor. 

Viola’s mastery of painting was unparalleled, though she rarely created original works, mostly replicating 

and restoring ancient paintings. 

This piece was her only original work. It was previously sold at a high price, making it highly valuable. 

After all, nobody knew Viola’s current whereabouts, not even Gloria, who was once close to her. 

The auctioneer provided a detailed introduction to the painting, including its creation context. 

Gloria stared at the painting with teary eyes. It was a landscape painting featuring a figure resembling 

Viola from the back. 

Janet exclaimed excitedly, “What a wonderful painting! If you don’t bid on it, Gloria, I will.” 

She knew this painting would be a great bragging point among friends, though she doubted she’d win against Gloria. 

Tears brimmed in Gloria’s eyes as she looked at the painting. She asked Skylar, “Skye, is this Viola’s painting?”
