My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Their family members seemed to be reaching their breaking point. Listening to the sound of Ernest's cough was truly disheartening, leaving no desire to return home.

Things had been overwhelming recently, and Joe was pressing harder than ever.

Now, the CEO of the Martin Group felt anxious every day. He had tried to find someone to deal with Joe, but no one dared take on that job.

Recently, the companies Claudio had set up with several of his uncles faced problems. In fact, these issues had been ongoing for years, but they had been patching up one problem after another. Now, they were quietly selling off their shares in the Martin Group.

Claudio was already overwhelmed, and on top of that, Ernest continued to create various troubles for him, which was incredibly frustrating.

After listening to Claudio's words, Ernest's irritation flared. He glared at Claudio and said, "Go to the hospital? What good will that do? If it weren't for all of you being so incompetent, I wouldn't be this exhausted.

"I don't want to see Joe! He's always been annoying, and yet all of you are worse than him."novelbin

He knew better than anyone that his recent illness was entirely due to Joe's return, which was driving him mad.

Moreover, he was the brother of the CEO of the Martin Group. Although they had never been close since childhood, he had relentlessly pressured his brother since returning to the company in recent years, trying to take his shares.

Before, he hadn't felt the pressure because there had been no comparison, but now he realized that Joe wasn't that bad after all.

If only his sons and grandsons had some skills, he could enjoy a peaceful retirement tending to his garden and playing chess. Instead, he found himself worrying more than he ever did when he was younger.

Claudio's expression shifted slightly as he frowned and retorted, "If Joe were so capable, would he have lost his memory for years abroad? Grandpa, he's not as great as you think. Don't glorify him."

"You!" Ernest was infuriated, unable to contain his anger. He started coughing violently, nearly choking.

"Grandpa, please take care of

yourself. Don't get upset. We can handle a lot of issues at home. You should focus on getting better and maybe even take a trip to a resort. It could help your health," Claudio said with a neutral expression.

Ernest's face darkened even further after hearing Claudio's words. He was so furious that he couldn't find the words to respond.

His favorite grandson dared to speak to him like that. It was utterly disrespectful.

Claudio noticed Ernest's anger, but he wasn't in the mood to placate him. With the recent financial issues plaguing the company, he was already overwhelmed. He simply didn't have the time or energy to comfort an old man.

Moreover, Ernest often lectured him on various matters, and he was tired of it.

Claudio was completely unaware of his mistakes. Seeing him turn on his heel and walk away infuriated Ernest and caused him to break into a fit of coughing again. A nearby maid initially froze in surprise but quickly moved to pat Ernest on the back to help him catch his breath,

Back in his own room, Claudio immediately made a phone call.

"Not enough? Then I'll sell some more shares."

After hanging up, he angrily tossed his phone across the room. He refused to believe he couldn't turn the tide.

At the hospital, in a ward, Skylar had just undergone a uterine tissue removal surgery. She felt weak and drained.

Technically, she could have been discharged right after the surgery, but Joe had insisted on keeping her in the hospital for observation.

Joe's expression was cold and stern as he watched Skylar sleep. Still, a hint of pain flickered in his eyes.
