My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1399

It seemed like Skylar had seen the elderly man in some videos.

Just as she was wondering, Kevin spoke, "I've only seen you in videos and photos before. Now that I've met you in person, I understand why Viola chose to pass all her knowledge to you. In some ways, you're quite similar to her."

"Alright, now that you've seen Skylar, you have to keep your promise! Skylar and Viola are both upright and kind people. They have nothing to say to you," Gloria said coldly.

Every word she spoke was laced with a clear sense of distrust toward Kevin.

Skylar glanced at Gloria before turning to Kevin. "You're Grandma Viola's younger brother, aren't you?"

She didn't expect the person they had been searching for all this time to show up on his own. And not just anywhere—he had come to Avalon Residence and sought Gloria out.

Kevin nodded in satisfaction. "You're smart to figure out who I am. And you've managed to locate so many of my artifacts and deal with them properly. You truly are capable.

"However, your achievements today are largely due to Viola's sacrifice. She was willing to give up her life for you."

Kevin's expression had grown contorted and sinister by the time he finished speaking.

Sensing that something was wrong, Gloria called out, "Skylar, come over here quickly."

Hearing this, Skylar was about to move toward Gloria when Kevin suddenly threw his head back and laughed.

His laughter sent chills down everyone's spines. It was a chilling, indescribable kind of horror.

"Viola protected her with her life. I won't harm her. What are you afraid of?" Kevin looked at Gloria, his eyes filled with mockery.

Skylar's face turned pale. Others might not understand what Kevin meant by his words, but she did.

The reason she was given a second chance at life was because Viola had sacrificed her own.

"Do you want to know why you can sense cursed artifacts?" Kevin asked, staring intently at Skylar.

"I do want to know," Skylar replied.

Ever since her rebirth, it felt as though her senses had changed.

Her ability to perceive ancient artifacts had become clearer than ever. She relied solely on the knowledge she had learned from Viola previously. But after her rebirth, she could genuinely see the stories behind these artifacts.

This was something she had never told anyone.

"That's because Viola gave everything to you. She saw you as her granddaughter or perhaps as her successor.

"Over the years, I've been searching for a disciple to inherit my knowledge, but one after another, they were all too foolish and incompetent. Viola was luckier than me. She found you.

"Years ago, I knew that even if I used cursed artifacts to force her to reappear, she wouldn't come out of her hiding. It's highly likely it was because she had lost her ability."

Kevin's voice softened as he spoke. He lifted his gaze to stare at a distance, as if he was looking at someone. The tone he used was uncharacteristically gentle.
