Richest Mogul

Chapter 274 Amelia rolled her eyes in exasperation, not bothering to keep up appearances since her son wasn’t around. Once Skylar and Christopher reconciled, she’d make sure Skylar came to the hospital to care for her. Skylar could forget about her job. No job should be more important than taking care of her. Once Christopher returned to work, Skylar would have to stay home and care for both of them. Then, Amelia would know exactly how to control her, just like before. Christopher hung up the phone and entered the Gardner Group. The security guard on duty that day was different and didn’t recognize Christopher, who had come looking for Skylar. “I’d like to see Skylar Sullivan. Can you ask for her?” Christopher asked the guard. The guard hesitated, “I haven’t seen Ms. Sullivan today. She might have taken the day off.” He remembered hearing something about it at the front desk earlier. Christopher was taken aback. “She took the day off? It’s Monday. She should definitely be at work.” He thought Skylar had instructed the guard to make an excuse whenever he arrived. She must be utterly disappointed in him. In that case, he’d wait. There were only about two hours left until the end of the workday. He wanted to see how Skylar would avoid him then. “You could call her and check if something’s wrong,” the guard suggested. If he knew she wasn’t at work, shouldn’t he call to make sure? Why was he asking the guard instead? It was puzzling. Christopher shot a cold glance at the guard but said nothing. He walked to a corner where he could see people leaving the building and decided to wait there. Chapter 27 He took out his phone and dialed a number. It wasn’t Skylar; she had already blocked him and wouldn’t answer even if he used a different number. He was calling Maisy. If he was living miserably, he would drag her down with him. Maisy was at the mall shopping with a man, one of her college suitors, who was now pursuing her. Seeing Christopher’s call, she frowned and told the man she needed to use the restroom. She answered the call once inside. “I don’t think you should be calling me.” “Oh, but I do. Check your messages. I sent you a video. Enjoy. Maisy, you seem so innocent on the outside, I wouldn’t expect you to be so wild,” Christopher sneered, disgusted by her. She was utterly repulsive. “Christopher, what is this? I transferred you a million to delete the video, and now you’re blackmailing me again? Do you want me to get a lawyer and send you to jail?” Maisy was furious at Christopher’s actions. She couldn’t believe he was still blackmailing her despite having been paid off. Did he really think he could threaten her repeatedly? Christopher’s tricks were nothing compared to what she had up her sleeves. “I deleted the previous video. This is a new one. Watching it makes me sick, so I’m sharing it with you. This time, I want 500 thousand dollars. Give me the money, and I’ll delete this video,” Christopher demanded. “Christopher, you better make sure the video you sent is worth 500 thousand. If not, I won’t let you off easily!” Maisy fumed.
