Richest Mogul

After Skylar paid the deposit, she arranged to collect the car tomorrow.

As she was walking out of the car dealership, she received a call from Amelia.

“How have you been, Skye? Why didn’t you come visit me in the hospital?”

Amelia’s voice made Skye remember how she had treated Amelia like her own mom in her past life.

Whenever Amelia had been in the hospital, Skylar had accompanied her. The patients in the same ward had even thought she was Amelia’s daughter.

But in the end, she had found out that Amelia had known that Christopher and Maisy were together.

After Skylar had amputated her legs, Amelia called her and made her break up with Christopher, saying that she wasn’t a good match for Christopher.

She had said that since Skylar was an amputee, she was an even worse match than she had been to begin with.

Her harsh and sharp tone on that call was completely different from how warm and polite she sounded

now.

In Skylar’s past life, she had cried after being hurt by that phone call.

Now, she was numb.

“I’ve broken up with Christopher like you hoped for. Stop calling me.”

“Wh-”

Skylar had already hung up.

Amelia lay on the hospital bed and looked at her phone. She was stunned.

afraid that Amelia would be angry at her?

She frowned and sent a voice message to Christopher. “I just spoke with Skye. She said she’s broken up with you. She even hung up on me! What’s happening?”

Christopher was enjoying his dinner with Maisy. When he received Amelia’s voice message, he opted to

convert it into text. He started to feel anxious after he read it.
