My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



"Once it's done, pay me 50 thousand dollars," the man added.

Stephen, who valued money above all else, hesitated upon hearing the amount.

The man chuckled. "You can back out if you want, but without these items I'm giving you, there's absolutely no chance between you and that young woman.

"Her family is far from ordinary, and she has a very capable elder brother who will stand in the way of your relationship."

Hearing this, Stephen no longer hesitated. "Alright! I agree!"

...

Gloria's condition had improved slightly in the past few days under Skylar and Joe's care. She could now get out of bed and move around a little, even though she was still weak.

Skylar would help her walk from upstairs to downstairs.

Her favorite activity was sitting together with Skylar to watch TV. The duo would chat about the characters on screen, sharing lighthearted moments. Though she still struggled to eat-managing only a few spoonfuls of oatmeal-she relied on nutritional supplements to maintain her energy. Even when she felt unwell and could barely keep her eyes open after 30 minutes of TV, Skylar stayed quietly by her side.

Joe had been exceptionally busy these past few days. He left early after breakfast, but no matter how late he worked, he made sure to return to the mansion at night so he could see Gloria the next morning.

The three of them shared a deep bond.novelbin

Gloria, knowing she had little time left, remained cheerful and optimistic every day.

"Grandma, who do you think the female lead really likes?" Skylar pointed at the TV and asked. The two had been binge-watching this drama for several days now. The male lead was Skylar's brother, Charles.

"It's definitely your brother. He's handsome," Gloria replied with a smile.

Skylar nodded in agreement.

"Charles is the male lead, after all This drama is centered around him, but don't like the female lead's

character.

"She's always indecisive-one

moment she thinks of the second

male lead because he's her

childhood sweetheart, the next she

admires my brother for his

boldness."

"We're on the same page. This female lead is a bit annoying," Gloria said.

Edgar would occasionally join them

after he was done with work. He

said, "There are women like that in in real life too-unable to make up their minds. I don't like it either. Honestly, if it weren't for Mrs. Martin's brother, I wouldn't even bother watching this drama."

The three exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh.

At that moment, an unexpected guest arrived. A maid said that it was Ernest.

Gloria frowned. "What's he doing here?"

Ernest was a scheming man who only visited when he wanted something. From the moment Gloria married into the Martin family, she disliked him. Over the years, his despicable actions only deepened her aversion.

Now that she was nearing the end of her life, she saw no reason to feign politeness.

"Grandma, there's no need to meet with people you don't want to see," Skylar said, frowning as well.

Gloria's mood had been improving, and there was no point in letting someone like Ernest ruin it.

Gloria nodded and told Edgar, "Go tell him I'm sleeping and can't see him. If he has anything to say, he can say it to you."

Edgar immediately went out to deliver the message.
