The others beside her said nothing. However, they weren’t pleased either. After all, she was Denton’s favorite granddaughter. They couldn’t comment on her.
They had no idea how capable Skylar was, either. Their problem had stumped many famous divination masters, so they could only test their luck. However, Alexander was a promise for his team’s quality. It was unlikely that he’d cause any problems.
“Fine. Contact him. He’d told me about the negative items and I didn’t believe him. We’ll see his response to this call,” sighed Denton. His regret grew by the minute.
Vera nodded and replied, “Alright. Don’t worry, Grandpa.”
Then, Vera left to make the call. Denton told Alexander that they agreed to pay 20 million. However, Vera wouldn’t be apologizing to Skylar for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Alexander insisted, “The deal is off if you don’t fulfill both conditions. Why don’t you reconsider?”
Denton hadn’t expected Alexander to take up such an immovable stance.
After hanging up, Denton frowned.
After Vera left Denton’s room, she returned to her own, got into bed, and called
Joe.
It was almost time to get off work, so he shouldn’t have been busy.
After a few beeps, Joe picked up. He asked, “What’s up?”
Vera’s heart clenched upon hearing his cold tone. She bit her lip and said, “Joe, did you tell my Grandpa that I had negative items in my collection when you visited him?” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Yeah,” answered Joe. He spoke in a monotone.
Vera inhaled deeply. She felt like Joe was drifting away from her. She continued, “Many things have been happening to my family. In the beginning, Grandpa didn’t believe that
a negative item had caused this. However, Hector came down with an accident today. Thus we believe that it might be the negative items causing a fuss. Joe, do you know how to get rid of negative items?”
What she said must’ve intrigued Joe, for his sentences grew longer. He replied, “I do, but have you figured out what you’ll need to sacrifice?”
Sacrifice?
Vera froze.
Did this mean that Joe wanted to sleep with her? Were they going to take the last step?
Initially, she wanted to get closer to Joe. They would only sleep together when he fell for her.
She wasn’t expecting this to happen to the Ruells. All of this would’ve been avoided if she hadn’t bought those antiques at the auction.
However, everything had happened. She couldn’t continue playing the waiting game. If she didn’t sleep with him, she would only push Joe further away from her.
Vera inhaled deeply and said, “I’ve made my decision.”
Joe hummed. Then, he said, “Skylar is the only person who can help you with this. She listed two conditions. The first being a fee of 20 million and the second being an apology.”
“What?” Vera asked incredulously.
She realized that she had displayed a startling lack of composure. However, this wasn’t what she had been expecting. Vera found it difficult to accept.
