Chapter 1117
Perhaps this was the destiny meant for Skylar and Herman. Soon, she saw Herman, and he had
indeed awoken.
Herman froze for a moment when he spotted Skylar, then asked, “You’re the one who saved me, right?”
Skylar confirmed and said, “Yes, it was me.”
Immediately, Herman got out of bed and bowed to her in gratitude. “Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I’d still be trapped in that pain.”
“It’s good that you’re awake. Just take your time to rest, and try not to get too emotional,” Skylar replied softly.
Lizzie approached with red–rimmed eyes. “Herman, you’ve scared us to death this
past year.
Herman felt a twinge of guilt at her words. “Dad just told me that the crescent–shaped emerald pendant I bought abroad caused all this trouble. When I first saw it at the auction, I remember a voice telling me to bid on it. Somehow, I just went ahead and did it.
“After the auction house handed it to me, it started with just a few nightmares, but then I couldn’t sleep at all. Eventually, I lost my sanity. This had caused Mom and Dad a great deal of worry during this time.”
Carl and Winona stood nearby, their eyes moist as they listened.
This year had felt like a nightmare. Thankfully, it was finally over.
“It’s a relief to see you awake,” Carl sighed.
Suddenly, Herman turned to Skylar and asked, “Ms. Sullivan, can we talk privately for a
moment?”
“Of course.” Skylar nodded, sensing that Herman had more to say. However, those matters were not suitable for Lizzie and his parents to hear.
After exchanging glances, Lizzie and her parents chose to respect Herman’s wishes and stepped outside.
Herman shut the door behind them.
He gestured for Skylar to sit on the nearby couch.
Once she was seated, he spoke directly, “There are things they shouldn’t know. That’s why I requested to speak with you alone. I hope you understand that it might seem a bit
presumptuous.

Skylar smiled gently, signaling Herman to continue. He turned his gaze to the window.
Chap 1117
Although he could open it from the inside, a security grill was installed outside, trapping him
That security grill felt like it confined his soul and freedom. A shadow of sadness crossed his
face.
He said, “When I was abroad, I accidentally hit and killed a girl. She was about your age. On the way to the hospital, she gave me this pendant, telling me to take good care of it. She said she had no family and that it was her most valued possession.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
