Richest Mogul
Chapter 1401

Gloria understood that Kevin was a madman. Everything about him, from his words to his actions, reeked of insanity. Yet, she couldn't shake the feeling that he was being serious.

"Anyway, I won't be alive much longer. I originally planned to write you a letter after I die, but who knew you'd end up pregnant?" Kevin's frustration was palpable. But it seemed he had talked too much today, and he started to cough from exhaustion. Skylar placed her hands protectively over her abdomen, still struggling to believe that a new life was growing within her. After calculating her cycle, she confirmed that her period was indeed three days late.

Though she had experienced delays in the past, she now believed that she was pregnant.

A child that should be eagerly awaited was now...

Noticing Skylar's dazed expression, Gloria stepped in quickly to support her. "Don't listen to his nonsense! He's crazy, a solitary man who has lived alone his whole life. He can't stand to see others happy, and his words are not to be trusted."

"If I hadn't left a few things at Avalon Residence, Joe would have survived, and his connection with Skylar would have been severed long ago. I do this because of Viola, who wants to see Skylar and Joe together. She enjoys meddling in fate.

"I don't care! That child must not stay. You have to end this pregnancy within three days. And you two can't have another child for at least five years," Kevin spoke with unwavering certainty.

Gloria's face turned ashen. "You! Who would believe your words?"

"Shut up! If all you want is a great-grandchild, then get ready to watch either your grandson die-or Skylar. Make your choice." Kevin was furious.

After all these years of hard work, he had done so much just to please Viola. He didn't even know if she could see any of it.

Regardless, Skylar had grown up. Even if someone used negative items against her in the future, she would be able to handle it. After all, he wasn't the only one with such strange abilities in this world.

Skylar's face turned ashen, but she quickly composed herself and reassured Gloria. "Don't worry, Grandma. I'd like to speak with Mr. Zindel Senior alone for a moment."

"What could you possibly have to say to him? He lost his mind. Just look at what he's done over the years. Does any of it seem like something a sane person would do?" She glared at Kevin, clearly disgusted.

Kevin glared right back before flashing a smile at Skylar. "Smart choice, you're very smart, Skylar. You know to talk to me alone. That's good-some things aren't meant for others to hear. Yes, we should talk privately." Gloria took a deep breath, clearly fed up. Kevin's antics had long worn her patience thin.

Minutes later, in the orchard at Pearlhall Residence, Skylar picked a few fresh fruits and handed them to Kevin.

However, he waved them away. "My health can't handle that now."

"I believe what you said earlier. But altering fate like this, doing all those things... it's left you with a terminal illness. Was it worth it?" Skylar said, her gaze on Kevin a mix of emotions.

Kevin paused, then let out a laugh. "Oh, I've lived long enough, and these last few years, I've done as I pleased. Since you believe me, don't get too attached to the child growing inside you. It's best to terminate the pregnancy immediately."
