Magic 126

Chapter 126 

Skyler suddenly felt a complicated wave of emotions. 

He had just given that very property to Valerie not too long ago. 

He hadn’t expected Lucius to be willing to pay twice the market price to buy it. 

Was this just a coincidence, or something more? Why would both Valerie and Lucius take an interest in the same property? 

Suppressing his rising doubts, Skyler asked, “Why does Mr. White suddenly want to buy that place?” 

Sonia dodged the question. “Who cares why he wants to buy it? We just need to take the 

money.” 

Skyler snapped, “I already gave that place to Valerie!” 

Sonia and Jay exclaimed in unison, “Why would you give it to her?” 

With things as they were, Skyler had no choice but to tell his children about the deal he had 

made with Sonia. 

After hearing the full story, both Jay and Sonia were stunned. 

Jay said, “But Mom said the reason why I miraculously recovered is because she’s been praying for me every day.” 

Skyler let out a cold laugh. “Did you actually believe that nonsense?” 

Sonia couldn’t accept the truth. “Dad, you have to do whatever it takes to get that property 

back. We must sell it to Mr. White.” 

Her demand made Skyler laugh bitterly. “Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t get it back. And even if I did get it back, the property wasn’t under my name. It was under Valerie’s mother, Lilith.” 

Sonia collapsed onto the couch in despair. “How could this happen? Why is this happening?” 

She pointed at Jay furiously. “It’s all because of this sickly brat. You ruined my entire life! Do any of you even know the secret behind that property?” 

Her eyes blazed with anger. She hadn’t expected the dilapidated place, which had been left idle for more than 20 years, would suddenly become a treasure everyone was fighting to own. 

That secret had only recently begun circulating among the elite. 

When Sonia first went to Azure Bay to meet Lucius, she hadn’t known about it. 

After leaving Azure Bay, she conducted a private investigation and discovered that a geomancy expert had once used the place to set up a wealth–gathering array. 

It was said that if the owner performed a certain ritual with the help of a geomancy expert, their descendants would enjoy ten generations of wealth and glory. 

It didn’t matter if the rumor was true or not. As long as Lucius showed interest in buying it, she could use that chance to name her price. 

Her only condition was that he marry her and make her his rightful wife. 

Before approaching Skyler, Sonia had dreamed of this countless times in her mind. 

After all, Lucius was a businessman. He would surely yield for the sake of the family’s lasting 

fortune. 

But she hadn’t expected that beautiful dream to shatter so abruptly. And the one who ruined it all was once again that bitch, Valerie. 

When Sonia was done ranting about the secret behind Serenity Residence, both Skyler and Jay were left dumbfounded. 

Ten generations of fortune? 

No one could easily stay calm in the face of such temptation. 

In a hurry, Skyler pulled out his phone and dialed Valerie’s number, his face filled with anticipation. 

“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is not in service.” 

Jay immediately concluded, “Dad, that bastard blocked you.” 

Jay was right. 

On the very day Skyler proposed cutting ties, Valerie had blocked her biological father’s 

number. 

At Arcton University, students were trickling out of the classroom after their lectures. 

Sitting quietly in a corner, Valerie made no move to leave. 

She was scrolling through her phone, reading a post online that wasn’t gaining much 

attention.
