Chapter 851
Subtly, this reinforced the Ruell family’s belief that Joe and Vera would eventually marry.
Joe would occasionally glance at Skylar with the intensity of a man looking at the woman he loved, his eyes filled with focus and concern.
Patricia felt a warning bell go off in her head. They had assumed the arranged marriage between the Ruell and Martin families would go off without a hitch, but it seemed like an unexpected rival had appeared out
of nowhere.
After Skylar entered Grimwood Residence, Patricia began giving her a tour, floor by floor.
The Grimwood Residence was about the same size as Gloria’s Pearlhall Residence. It took time to walk through each level.
When they reached the third floor, where Denton stored his private collection, Skylar’s expression grew
more serious.
The first thing she noticed was the painting Vera had fought Alexander for at the auction. “There’s something wrong with this painting. Take it down and give it to me later.”
“Alright.” Patricia first took a photo of the painting and then instructed a maid to take it down.
Next, she sent a photo of it to the family group chat.
Skylar looked around carefully again.
There was nothing else unusual.
“Other than that, there are no other negative items,” Skylar said.
Upon hearing her words, Patricia let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good. That’s good to know.”
“Ask Vera about the antique she won at the auction a while back. Where is it being kept?” Skylar
continued.
Patricia nodded and immediately tagged Vera in the family group chat, relaying Skylar’s question word for word.
After sending the message, Patricia noticed the family group chat was already in chaos.
It turned out the painting was a gift from Vera to Denton, and everyone was now blaming her for it.
Joe had been standing silently to the side. He watched Skylar calmly handle the situation. His eyes softened with admiration.
Skylar then pulled out a wrapped talisman from her bag. She handed it to Patricia and said, “Keep this with you. Later, take it to the hospital and give it to Mr. Ruell Senior. He should keep it with him. After two months, this talisman will lose its effect.”
Patricia carefully put away the seal she received and said, “I just asked Vera about the other antique. She said it was likely destroyed in the fire.”
Skylar frowned slightly. “It should still be here. Otherwise, your family wouldn’t be having so many incidents back–to–back. Take me to their house so I can check for myself.”
Since she had taken their money, she was determined to handle the Ruell family’s problems thoroughly.
Patricia had no objections. The safety of the entire Ruell family was at stake, and they needed to be cautious.

However, as she glanced at the talisman in her hand, a doubt crept into her mind. She wondered if Skylar was truly as powerful as everyone claimed.

Skylar turned to Joe. “Going to the Ruell Residence might take a while, and it’s getting late. Do you want to head home first?”
They might end up working until midnight.
Joe replied immediately, “No need. I’ll go with you.”
