Chapter 1452
The next morning, Ernest arrived at Pearlhall Residence. This time, his attitude was much more sincere.novelbin
After learning that Gloria was resting, he did not insist on seeing her immediately but cordially invited Skylar to visit Avalon Residence.
Compared to a few years ago, Ernest looked much worse. His complexion was pale, and he had lost weight, requiring a wheelchair to get around.
With Joe absent today, Skylar hesitated over whether to go to Avalon Residence alone.
"Mrs. Martin, if you decide to go, you should take Eden with you," Edgar said softly to Skylar.
Eden Hansen was the security guard for Pearlhall Residence. He had been trained in martial arts since childhood and spent his youth immersed in the rigorous routines of a martial arts school.
Whenever Gloria was at Pearlhall Residence, Eden would be on duty.
Eden was very alert and quick to react in dangerous situations. While Avalon Residence wasn't particularly perilous, having Eden with her would certainly provide Skylar some peace of mind.
Skylar nodded and replied. "Alright, I'll have Eden accompany me."
She felt that her suspicions about Avalon Residence could only be confirmed through her own visit. She also needed to see if the items left by Kevin could truly help Joe. It was still uncertain, and she needed to discover the truth herself.
...
The journey to Avalon Residence took a little over two hours. The car sped along the road, with Ernest's vehicle leading the way, driving rapidly. It was clear that Ernest was in quite a hurry.
Lucas complained, "Why are they going so fast?"
Skylar pondered thoughtfully. Upon arriving at Avalon Residence, she paused for a few seconds at the entrance, taking a moment to survey her surroundings.
Seeing Skylar standing still at the door, Ernest asked, "Is something wrong?"
He never imagined that he would find himself turning to Skylar for help.
A few years ago, when Ernest learned that Gloria had arranged for Joe to marry Skylar, he thought Gloria was making a foolish decision.
Given Joe's capabilities and his position as the current head of the Martin family, he believed his wife should come from a prestigious family-one of the prominent families in Jipsburg City.
There were so many candidates for Joe to choose from, yet in the end, he ended up with an unknown woman from the countryside. He had looked down on Skylar to no end.
But no one could have imagined that
now, with family matters at stake, he would have to personally go to Skylar and ask for her help. The thought of it made his chest burn with frustration, yet he felt

powerless to change the situation.
Many friends had advised him that if he suspected the troubles at home were related to negative items, he should seek Skylar's help. Whether it was Frank or Harry, or even George and Alexander, all spoke highly of and trusted Skylar.
Finding an ordinary master to help was out of the question. However, he could still have a master come over to assess the situation, though. During the waiting period, he had already consulted several masters in metaphysics, but they couldn't identify any issues.
They all claimed that everything was fine with Avalon Residence. Of course, it was good. When their father's generation built the Avalon Residence, they had enlisted most renowned masters in
metaphysics to ensure everything was in order.
This was why the Martin family had held the top position among the elite families for so many years.
However, now, the family atmosphere was tumultuous. The younger generations were causing him endless worry, with issues arising everywhere.
This had been the case for several years. Initially, he had held hope that his children and grandchildren would bring him pride, but disappointment followed shortly after.
He had begun to feel that this was all related to the negative items.
