Richest Mogul

Manfred had to hold on tightly to the woman before him and trust her unconditionally.

Vivian was stunned. "You trust me?"

"Yes." Manfred's answer was firm and resolute-without a hint of doubt.

Then, he added, "Sterling is a treacherous man."

In the past, he hadn't seen it clearly. But in the past few days, he finally understood what kind of person Sterling really was.

He knew there was something strange about Sterling. But he couldn't quite explain what it was. Or perhaps it wasn't just Sterling but the entire Bowman family.

The Atkinson family had gone down the wrong path since Jayden's generation.

Hearing this, Vivian finally felt relieved. It seemed that Manfred had also seen through Sterling.

She then said, "There's something strange about him. He carries a negative item, and most negative items cause wicked thoughts in people.

"But some don't just harm their owner. They also affect those nearby, clouding their minds and making them lose control of their sanity."

Hearing this, Manfred's expression changed. "So it's a negative item? If Sterling carries one, is there one in this household too? Do I have it on me?"

As he spoke, a strange image flashed through his mind. Vivian pointed at a bronze mirror in it and said it was a negative item. This memory felt familiar, yet an eerie feeling rose within him.

He knew he was not Manfred of Everholm.
