My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Within a few minutes, Edgar returned.

Skylar looked at him and asked, "What does Ernest want now?"

"He said he wants to invite Mrs. Martin to Avalon Residence. He claims that there seem to be some cursed items causing unrest for their family recently," Edgar replied.

Gloria let out a cold snort upon hearing this. "Of course, he only shows up when there's trouble. Who does he think he is? Why should Skye go just because he invites her? Ridiculous!"

Edgar nodded in agreement. "Exactly. His attitude was so arrogant. It was as if he was doing Mrs. Martin a huge favor by coming to invite her personally. He really overestimates himself!

"I immediately refused him. Mrs. Martin is still in her recovery and shouldn't leave the house unnecessarily. It's not worth risking her health for their family's problems."

"Good, that's settled," Gloria approved.

Skylar didn't say much, but her thoughts drifted to what Kevin had mentioned during his recent visit to the mansion.novelbin

He had said that there were indeed items in Avalon Residence that he had used to assist Joe. Kevin explained that Joe's return was partly thanks to those items. But Skylar suspected the car accident Joe experienced in Murida might also have been related.

She decided she would visit Avalon Residence eventually, but now wasn't the right time.

Her priority was staying by Gloria's side.

As Edgar reached the door, Skylar called out, "Edgar, let him know I'll visit in two weeks."

"Understood."

After Edgar left, Gloria's face remained sour. "That man gets more annoying with age."

Skylar chuckled. "But his money isn't annoying. I'll go and make a fortune off him."

Gloria couldn't help but laugh. "You, always the cheeky one!"

Skylar's expression turned serious. "Actually, I just want to check if

there."

Gloria was momentarily stunned but then nodded gently. "It's a good idea to take a look. That family isn't trustworthy. Who knows what tricks they've been up to there over the years."

Whenever Gloria mentioned Ernest's family, her face filled with disdain and loathing.

Knowing her time was short, she had lost all patience for pretense She didn't even want to see people she disliked for a single second.

Perhaps it was true that as people age, they regain some of a child's straightforwardness. "Grandma, let's go upstairs and rest. I'll massage your legs," Skylar said, changing the topic.

Gloria, feeling weak and fatigued, agreed. "Alright, alright."

...

Skylar stirred in her sleep when she vaguely heard a sound nearby late at night.

Opening her eyes drowsily, she saw a familiar figure. "You're back?"

"Mm, go back to sleep," Joe said, pulling Skylar into his arms and planting a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Nestling against him, Skylar quickly drifted back to sleep.

Joe, holding her close, soon fell asleep as well.

Meanwhile, Simona went to her favorite restaurant for lunch in the afternoon.
