Richest Mogul 1117


    Perhaps this was the destiny meant for Skr and Herman. Soon, she saw Herman, and he had


    indeed awoken.


    Herman froze for a moment when he spotted Skr, then asked, “You’re the one who saved me,


    right?”


    Skr 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,” Skr


    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 Skr and asked, “Ms. Sullivan, can we talk privately for a


    moment?”


    “Of course.” Skr nodded, sensing that Herman had more to say. However, those matters were


    not suitable for Lizzie and his parents to hear.


    After exchanging nces, Lizzie and her parents chose to respect Herman’s wishes and stepped


    outside.


    Herman shut the door behind them.


    He gestured for Skr 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.

    Skr 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


    1. in.


    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 identally 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.


    “She wanted me to bring it back home and bury it somewhere. When I returned, I


    uncontrobly wore the pendant,pletely forgetting about her request. Now I wonder if my greed


    brought her wrath upon me, tormenting me like this.


    “She ran a red light. I know that me wasn’t mine, but for over a year now, I’ve been seeing her in


    my dreams, along with many other people I’ve never met. Is this punishment for my actions? Did


    that girl even know the pendant was a negative item? Did she give it to me as revenge?”


    After the ident, he had seen a therapist, but the guilt continued to gue him.


    Seeing the pale look on Herman’s face, filled with self–reproach and sorrow, Skr understood why


    someone as aplished as him could so easily be ensnared by a negative,


    item.


    “It’s not your fault. I believe your parents told you that the pendant was a negative item and that it


    would gradually lead you to lose your mind. As for the girl’s death, you already knew the truth before


    you returned home, didn’t you?


    “Mr. Garza, you need to look forward. Whether she knew that the pendant was a negative item is no


    longer important. What matters is that I’ve dealt with the negative item now.”


    Herman looked taken aback for a moment. Then, after a few minutes, he seemed to find peace.


    “Thank you.”
