My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Gloria seemed to have eyes on the door, observing every move Edgar made. He wasn't surprised when she spoke up.

"Alright, Mrs. Martin Senior. It's getting late, so you should try to rest."

Edgar couldn't shake the feeling that Gloria had endured far too much in her life. This latest event was not just another blow. It stripped away some of her hope for the future.

She had been holding on by sheer force of will.

While she didn't mention it, the doctor had also advised her to maintain a good mood. However, Edgar had privately consulted with the doctor and learned that Gloria was truly just clinging to life by a thread.

Her perseverance stemmed from Joe not recovering his memory and her desire to see her great-grandchild. That belief was what kept her going. But now, the timeframe had shifted from months to five long years.

Five years was an eternity for Joe and Skylar, but the same couldn't be said for Gloria. Edgar could sense that her strength was waning, which only deepened his worry.

After she heard the door of the room next door close, Gloria let out a soft sigh.

She knew that Kevin's words earlier in the day were truthful. However, his bluntness made it hard to accept. According to him, she and Joe should have already passed away.

The fact that they were still alive was thanks to Skylar. There were likely unspoken truths in Kevin's comments, such as his realization that Gloria wouldn't last much longer.

"Oh, God, please be kinder to Joe. Don't let him and Skylar endure so much suffering, or I won't be able to leave in peace," Gloria whispered, her eyes glistening with tears.

Skylar and Joe had faced far too many hardships.

The following day, when Skylar went

to work, she took the initiative to discuss Kevin with Alexander. She informed him that he no longer needed to search for Kevin as Ke would no longer use negative items

to harm anyone.

"Just because he says he won't harm anyone doesn't mean he actually won't. I can't believe that Viola's brother is him! I had completely forgotten about him.

"That man has no integrity. His

words can't be taken at face value. When he claims he won't use

negative items to harm anyone, i et

might just be a tactic to lower our guard while he continues his harmful schemes," he added. novelbin

Alexander's expression was one of understanding mixed with disbelief.

Years of dealing with negative items

had turned his disdain for the mastermind behind them into an all-consuming rage. The realization that this mastermind was an old acquaintance only fueled his

frustration further.

As Skylar pondered for a moment and was about to explain why they should trust Kevin's words, she noticed Alexander's eyes suddenly widened, as if struck by a revelation.

"I just remembered something. What if Kevin is impersonating someone to make us believe he's Viola's brother? What if he isn't related to her?

"I remember him mentioning that he liked Viola, and we all urged him to drop the idea. It was because we felt his personality was too obsessive, too prone to extremes.

"He absolutely isn't Viola's brother. The person manipulating these negative items must have pushed him into the spotlight to divert our attention away from their real intentions."

The more Alexander thought about it, the more convinced he became.
