Richest Mogul

Claim

In the end, the statue was an object that stole people’s fortune.

Vera was born into a wealthy family and had many things that most people could never attain in a lifetime. So, she naturally had good fortune. Taking her luck and using it for oneself could not only change one’s destiny but also prolong one’s life.

“What? So vicious? I had no grudge against Molly, and she did this to me! She deserved to die! “Vera was furious.

No wonder she found it harder and harder to control her emotions lately–it was all because

someone had plotted against her.

When Molly died in the car accident earlier, she had even felt sorry for her. But now, realizing

that Molly had set such a huge trap for her, she was enraged.

Thinking back calmly, she realized that from the first day she put on the ring Molly gave her, her thoughts had felt like they were being controlled, growing increasingly more obsessive.

She had always been proud and determined to win over Joe, but she had never been this

irrational.

Recalling her recent actions, everything seemed completely unreasonable. It sent chills down her spine. She had truly disgraced her family.

Skylar looked at Vera. “The fortune you lost can’t be returned. So, just do more charity to build up merit for yourself. Otherwise, you will have bad luck.”

This wasn’t just a warning. Vera’s greed when dealing with Molly had led to this. Now, she had Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

to pay the price for that greed.

Skylar couldn’t change what had already happened, but handling the statue now was her chance to help Vera fix things.

Vera furrowed her brows. “Molly was too cruel!”

Skylar wrapped the statue back up and placed a charm inside. Then, she prepared to leave with

1. it.

Before leaving, she told Vera, “You should move to a different place.”

Vera nodded. She had plenty of properties and didn’t care about losing one.

As Skylar was about to leave, Vera bit her lip, hesitant to speak, but eventually blurted out, ” Skylar, I can understand how you feel now. Honestly, Joe leaving you was really his loss. I’ve seen and investigated Lizzie–she’s not quite your match. I can accept losing to you, but I just can’t accept losing to her.”

Her words implied that they were now both in the same unfortunate situation. So, Skylar

couldn’t help but find it both amusing and exasperating.

Vera’s personality was hard to describe, but at that moment, she showed a side of hers that Skylar found almost endearing.

“Just do more charity from now on,” Skylar advised. That was all she had to say. Whatever Vera did next was no longer her concern.

Vera nodded but didn’t seem to take the advice seriously. Doing charity was simple enough for her. She could sponsor a few impoverished students in the mountains, donate to some orphanages, and attend charity galas.

That would be suffice.

After leaving the library, Skylar took the statue with her and got into her car.

On the way home, Joe called to say he would be home soon and that they could discuss Molly’s

situation there.

She listened to the radio for a while on the road.

The news also covered Molly’s car accident. After all, she was a former movie star from over 20 years ago and the stepmother of the current CEO of Martin Group. The accident attracted a lot of attention.

The police investigation and the driver’s interrogation led to a preliminary conclusion of drunk driving.

However, some eyewitnesses questioned whether it had been an accident. Many believed it was murder.

There were so many voices raising suspicions that even the radio host was beginning to ask questions.
