My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

A few minutes later, Janine received another call from Miriam. At almost the same time, Ted also got a call.

Janine glanced at Ted and listened to Miriam's obvious reluctance as she apologized over the phone.

The corners of her mouth lifted into a smile. Sometimes, a little pressure can be remarkably effective against despicable people. And being protected by someone felt wonderful.

She looked at Ted with a warm gaze, her heart swelling with gratitude.

Ever since being with him, no matter what challenges arose, she felt secure as long as he was by her side. Meeting him was truly a blessing for her.

Time flew by, and it was soon half a year later.

Something major happened in the Martin family-Ernest had passed away.

The circumstances of his death were somewhat ironic-he reportedly fell off his bed in the middle of the night, landing face down on the floor.

He remained in that position until morning. By the time he was discovered, he was already gone.

One might think the noise of someone falling would have been loud, yet none of his children or grandchildren, who lived in the same home, seemed to have heard a thing.

As a result, they missed the window to save him.

While preparing for Ernest's funeral, the Martin family was hit with successive misfortunes.

Several of Ernest's sons had accidents-some were in car crashes, others fell into rivers.

Although they were all rescued, each suffered severe injuries, and a few were diagnosed with late-stage cancer.

Meanwhile, Ernest's favorite grandson, Claudio, was found to be HIV positive. The news spread throughout Jipsburg almost as soon as he left the hospital.

To many in Jipsburg, the branch of the family tied to Ernest was utterly doomed.

Rumors began circulating, suggesting these calamities were the result of their association with cursed objects.

The family had a penchant for collecting such items, allegedly using them to harm others, only to

end up being harmed the elves.

This wasn't baseless gossip. Household staff working in Avalon Residence were the most familiar with such occurrences.

In recent months, Jipsburg had seen a surge of cursed objects.

Anyone harboring ill intentions and wanting to achieve their goals through illicit means had a chance to encounter these items.

During this time, Skylar frequently

It was a Sunday, and Skylar and Joe had a rare day off together. So, they decided to go hiking early in the morning.

Halfway up the mountain, Skylar received a call from Minerva.

Afterward, she and Joe changed their plans and went down to a restaurant at the foot of the mountain to meet Minerva.

Minerva had come alone.

Everyone had been busy for the past two months, leaving little time for private gatherings. This was the first time they'd met in two months.

When Minerva saw Skylar and Joe walking hand in hand, she couldn't help but smile.

Seeing their stable and happy relationship brought her joy.

"Sorry for interrupting your date today," Minerva said apologetically.

Joe replied simply, "It's fine."
