My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul, Chapter 923
After her IV drip, Skylar left the hospital. The drugs had metabolized, and she only needed rest at home. Joe dropped her off at Galaxy Villa before attending to an urgent matter. Skylar decided to bathe to relax. Afterward, she found food delivered from Pearlhall Residence. She ate quietly, then returned to bed, but sleep eluded her. Her mind was restless.
She scrolled through messages on her phone, replying to Caleb and colleagues who'd checked in. Soon, fatigue overcame her, and she drifted into troubled sleep.
In a half-dream, half-wake state, she revisited a dark, hopeless past. Paralyzed and bedridden, she was despised, forced to take life-destroying medication. Faces from her past โ Sadie, Jeffrey, Maisy, and Christopher โ flashed before her.
โWhy are you still alive? Why havenโt you died already? Lying in bed every day, making people take care of you.โ
โSkylar, seeing you like this disgusts me. Just thinking about you being my girlfriend makes me want to strangle you.โ
โYour boyfriend is so in love with me that heโd kill you himself to be with me. Your parents and siblings only care about me. What does being your biological daughter and sister matter? You canโt compare to me.โ
Skylar tried to wake, but couldn't. The helplessness was overwhelming, as if truly trapped. It felt like a cruel illusion.
โChristopher, are you out of your mind? Let me go! Kenny and the others wonโt let you get away with this!โ Maisy struggled as Christopher bound her tighter. โYou lied to me! Didn't you say you liked me? That youโd marry me? That after Skylar died, youโd marry me and help me take everything from the Williams family?โ
โDream on! How could I ever marry you? Youโre not worthy. Let me go! The Williams family isn't someone you can just take. Once Skylar is dead, youโre useless to me. Did you really think I liked you?โ
โYou lied to me! I hurt Skylar so much for you, and you deceived me.โ
Christopher hacked at Maisy with a kitchen knife, one cut after another. Her lifeless body lay in a pool of blood.
The scene shifted. The Williams Group went bankrupt; Jeffrey faced relentless debt collectors. He desperately sought meetings with Joe at the Martin Group, but was repeatedly refused.
Gloria told Jeffrey, โYou promised to care for Skye. I thought you were her biological parents and would look after her. I never expected Skye to die so tragically. If you want our help, bring Skye back to life.โ
Jeffrey deeply regretted his actions, realizing the Martin Groupโs past help stemmed from Skylar. He'd killed Sadie for insurance fraud, but the company uncovered the truth, sending him to prison.
Driven by jealousy of Steven, Kenny schemed against him relentlessly. Steven showed no mercy upon discovering the Williams family's treatment of Skylar. Kennyโs reputation was ruined; he fell from grace.
Steven said to Kenny, โI tolerated you because you were Skyeโs brother, but you donโt deserve to be. Everything you face is the consequence of your actions.โ
Samuel was exposed for bullying actors and coercing actresses. He was blacklisted and fell into irrelevance.
Peter, having started a failing business, was deeply in debt. He jumped from a building, ending his life.
The scenes played out like a film reel. Skylar, a wisp of a soul, watched each person meet their tragic fate.
