Chapter 1195
Joey touched his thumb for a moment before finally taking it out.
“This thumb ring is something I bought at an auction a few months ago. It’s just a small item worth a few hundred thousand. This shouldn’t be the problem, right?”
His voice trembled as he asked, unable to hide his mease. For some reason, he felt a bit guilty, as if all the recent incidents were tied to this thumb ring. It could just be a coincidence, couldn’t it?
Skylar glanced at it and said, “It’s the ring.”
“What?” Joey exclaimed in disbelief. The others Immediately looked at the thumb ring on his
finger.
It looked like an ordinary green emerald thumb ring. Even if it wasn’t bought at an auction, similar pieces could be found at any high–class jewelry stores or custom–made places. So this…
“Is it really cursed?” Melinda’s expression changed.
Jeremy’s face turned stern as he asked Skylar, “Can it be dealt with?”
Skylar just nodded. “Yes, it can.”
Then, she stepped closer to Joey to look at the marks on the ring more clearly.
Joey’s face had turned pale. After knowing that it was cursed, he tried to take it off and throw it away, but Skylar stopped him immediately.
“You’ve worn this for months, so it has already bonded with you. If you take it off and throw it away or break it, it won’t reduce the trouble it brings you.”
“What?” Joey’s voice rose sharply. Breaking it wouldn’t help? He immediately froze, afraid to
make a move.
“Jeremy has already paid you. Didn’t you say you can handle it? Please do it quickly,” Melinda urged anxiously.
“Yes, take care of it quickly. How could they sell something like this at an auction?” Quincey’s father added in a deep voice.
Caleb could only roll his eyes. He found their attitude incredibly annoying.
No wonder Alexander didn’t like dealing with the Hughes family over the years, except for Jeremy. This was the reason.
“It can be resolved. Carefully remove it, clean it and wrap it up properly. Then, pass it to me. But…” Skylar looked over at Jeremy and said, “But Zack and Quincey bullying the young girl has nothing to do with the curse.” It only affected Joey.
“What? How is that possible? Zack is a good child, always excelling in both character and academies, and now he’s very capable. If it weren’t for the cursed object, how could he do such a thing?” Melinda couldn’t accept this.
Quincey’s mother also nodded repeatedly, using the opportunity to praise her son along with Zack.
Skylar was not interested in listening to their nonsense, so she turned directly to Jeremy and said, “I’ll wait in the car. Bring the cleaned ring out to me.”
Then, she walked out without another word.
Besides Jeremy, she was not interested in speaking further with the rest of the Hughes family. They must know what kind of people their children were, right? The horrible things they did were closely tied to the way they were doted on since childhood.
“Excelled Once Skylar and Caleb were in the car, Caleb couldn’t hold back his anger and swore, in character and academics, my foot! Zack and Quincey are scumbags! Sure, they might be good at studying, but their cores are rotten.”
Skylar smiled and said, “Everyone has to pay for the mistakes they make. Even if they were truly influenced by a cursed object, they still have to face the consequences of their actions.”
