My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 

Ever since Skylar had been young, Viola had warned her that she shouldn’t put the skills Viola had taught 

her to use before she got married. 

That was the case for the knowledge Skylar had learned from Viola’s books as well. Viola had also told 

her not to disclose what she had learned to Janine. Otherwise, she would be in deep trouble. 

Back in Skylar’s previous life. Christopher’s mother, Amelia Campbell, had needed roughly one million dollars to cover the expenses for her kidney transplant. 

Unable to bear the sight of Christopher being distraught, Skylar had secretly helped someone restore a 

painting. She had gotten exactly one million dollars in return. 

A few days after that, she had gone shopping with Sadie. When she had seen a truck speeding toward 

them, she had shoved Sadie aside without thinking twice. 

That was how Skylar had ended up being paralyzed from the waist down. 

Fortunately, none of those events had yet to happen in Skylar’s current life. She had not seen Viola again, 

not even before she had died in her past life. 

As Skylar read the letter Viola had left for her, she couldn’t contain her emotions any longer. The sense of familiarity in Viola’s handwriting made the flood of tears give way. 

Skylar learned from the letter that Viola had made one last divination. 

Viola had given the last of her fortune to Skylar, having predicted that Skylar would encounter a calamity 

in her life so great that it would probably kill her. 

She might not even live past three years 

In the letter, Viola also said that if Skylar were reading this letter, it meant that she had survived that calamity, akin to the rebirth of a phoenix. Now, Skylar knew no limits but the skies. 

Finally, Viola told her that they would eventually meet someday. Their reunion wasn’t supposed to be 

forced. 

When Skylar was young, she had wanted to learn divinations from Viola. Viola had turned her down, 

saying that it wasn’t a gift to be able to read divinations. 

Though Skylar wasn’t as skilled as Viola was, she could still sense whether certain antiques were auspicious or inauspicious. Later, she had focused more on Viola’s books instead. 

“Oh, dear, Skyel Why are you crying? Is something wrong?” The sight of Skylar crying made Gloria’s heart 

ache. 

For some reason, she felt awash in anguish whenever she saw Skylar’s tears. Noting how aggrieved Skylar seemed, she was suddenly reminded of something 

“Grandma, I’m fine. I just miss Grandma Viola too much.” Skylar’s tears subsided, and she smiled. She didn’t want Gloria to worry. 

After a while, Gloria called Joe in secret while Skylar was in the bathroom. “You brat, did you give Skye a hard time at the courthouse today?” 

Joe was about to leave after completing his work. He was stunned by Gloria’s question. “What did she tell 

you?” 

I 

Gloria snorted. “She didn’t say a thing. Have you forgotten how perceptive I am? I could tell she’s upset.” 

“It wasn’t me.” Joe strode toward the elevator, pressing his temples. What was Skylar trying to gain from 

Gloria? 

He 

thought she would abide by the terms of their agreement when they had registered for their marriage 

earlier. Now, it appeared that she was quite shrewd, 

A cold glint flashed across Joe’s eyes. 

“It’s better not be you! Come over and pick her up tonight. Remember the task I gave you–I need a great- 

grandchild as soon as possible,” Gloria ordered before hanging up. 

Joe felt utterly helpless. Just as the elevator arrived, he noticed that Paul seemed disoriented. He had 

been distracted ever since he had dropped Skylar off at Pearlhall Residence. 

“What’s wrong with you?” Joe asked. 

Sullenly, Paul produced the emerald charm, which was still on his neck. He told Joe about everything Skylar had said in front of the mansion. They were the only ones in the elevator. 

Paul asked, “Did I offend Ms. Williams in any sort? That would explain why she spooked me out. Such 

superstitiousness is absurd.” 

It was just an emerald charm. How could Skylar possibly tell if it was looted from a dead person? 

Joe raised his eyebrows, and his expression hardened. He felt like Gloria had been tricked by Skylar. 

“Just ignore her,” he said coldly. 

Paul nodded fervently. “Alright.” 

He finally felt at ease after being in turmoil for an hour 

he figured Skylar must have intended to frighten him. 

or two. Now that Joe had told him to ignore Skylar, 

As he marveled at how valuable the charm was, he thought it would serve as a great family heirloom. He planned to pass it down through the generations of his family. 

The elevator descended to the first floor rapidly. Just as it reached the 30th floor, it suddenly shook. violently. The lights in the elevator flickered thrice before returning to normal. 

They figured it was just a minor malfunction, but the elevator suddenly plummeted downward at an alarming speed. Even Joe, who was usually composed, seemed slightly perturbed. 

Paul’s eyes widened. “Holy crap!” Was he going to die here today?
