Richest Mogul

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
