After walking in, Skylar saw the man standing behind Alexander. He had a head of white hair with a chubby, round face. He looked like a kind old man.
"This is Cameron Yates," introduced Alexander.
"Good day, Mr. Yates Senior. I'm Skylar."
When Cameron saw Skylar, he nodded with a smile. He praised, "Viola has always had an eye for people. What an intelligent young woman."
They had roamed the earth for decades, encountering all kinds of people. From the first meeting, they could often discern someone’s character. Besides, Skylar was a child Viola had personally chosen. There wasn't another girl like her in the world.
"Skye, come here and take a look at this painting. Mr. Yates Senior brought it here," Alexander said after laughing briefly. He didn't skirt around the topic and led Skylar straight into the guest room.
It was yet another painting.
It looked like a painting from the classical era. The water in the painting seemed to come to life and trickle down the stream.
Cameron walked over. He appraised the painting on the table and said, "I participated in an auction a while ago. Someone auctioned this painting off. His family members had died of mysterious diseases, while his company went bankrupt. With no other option, he auctioned this painting off. The second I laid eyes on it, I knew something was wrong."
"After Cameron told me about it, I invited him to Jipsburg to prevent any mistakes from happening. We can only confirm the nature of this painting once you've taken a look at it," said Alexander.
Skylar glanced at the painting and said, "Let me look at it first."
After observing the painting thoroughly, Skylar relaxed.
Just as she was about to speak, loud noises rang out from a room beside them.
The hotel had excellent soundproofing. They wouldn't have heard what was going on if the occupants of the neighboring room hadn't made such a racket.
The woman was shrieking pitifully. Everyone knew what was happening.
Alexander and Cameron frowned while Skylar pretended not to have heard it.
"There seems to be nothing wrong with the painting."
Cameron froze. He confirmed, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
"Yes."
