Richest Mogul

Skylar waited for ten minutes, but she didn’t receive the money from Christopher. She had known that he wouldn’t return the money.

Within ten minutes, she collected various records of her transactions to him and screenshots of every

conversation where he had promised to pay her back.

This evidence was enough to file a lawsuit against him, or result in even worse circumstances if she

wanted. She decided to report it as a scam to the police first.

Next, she clicked on the messages from Sadie and Jeffrey. Both of them had reprimanded her for being disobedient, and Jeffrey specifically mentioned terminating her credit card.

Now that she thought of it, she indeed had a card that Jeffrey had given her when she had first returned

to the Williams family. But she had never used the card.

Maisy’s messages were pretty straightforward; she had done nothing other than brag about Jeffrey’s and

Sadie’s love for her.

Her intention to mock Skylar was unmistakable. In Skylar’s previous life, Maisy’s gloating had often upset

her.

Fortunately, Skylar now had a chance to start all over again. She would only acknowledge Janine, her adoptive mother, as her own mother from now on.

Her adoptive father, Finn Sullivan, had passed away in an accident when she had only been three years- old. As a result, Janine had laboriously raised four children alone.

Just as Skylar was about to set aside her phone and drift off to sleep, she received another message.

“Skye, are you getting used to life with the Williamses?” It was Steven Sullivan, her eldest brother who had always doted on her since childhood.

Skylar stirred. “Steven, I’ve missed you.”

Steven sent a voicemail the next instant. “Skye, just come back if you’re homesick. Mom has been mentioning you a lot these days.”

“Same. I really, really miss Mom. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

“I’ll cook for you once you’re back.”

“How have you been doing lately? I remembered that you said you’re going to publish a paper, right?”
