My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

Skylar hung up right away.

Her heart had been crushed a long time ago. Because of what Steven said, she thought they were perhaps not as hopeless as she thought.

In the end, she expected too much.

When Joe went downstairs, he heard Skylar’s phone ring. He also overheard the things she said,

She didn’t shed a tear after the call ended. Even so, she looked like an injured puppy tending to her wounds pitifully.

The look in Joe’s eyes deepened. He felt something tugging at his heartstrings.

There was a time in the past when he also had to lick his wounds alone.

The sound of someone coming downstairs startled Skylar. She looked up at Joe. He was taken aback to see that her eyes were still filled with hatred and pain.

Skylar realized that she had lost

her composure. She lowered her eyes immediatel

Joe strode toward her. He could feel that she was in low spirits. “The tea you gave me last night was very effective,” he said.

About an hour after finishing the tea, his anxious heart quietened down. Before he realized it, he had fallen asleep

In a slight panic, Skylar nodded. “Good to hear that it was effective. I can make more for you. I have something else I need to do. I’ll be taking my leave.”

She didn’t want anyone to see the panicked and helpless side of her.

She grabbed her bag and ran to the door. She put on her shoes, pushed the door, and walked right out without taking a single glance at Joe.

Joe frowned. He looked at the tub of yogurt on the table. Skylar hadn’t had time to throw it away. If she was truly fine, she would make herself a nutritious breakfast in the morning.

The pitiful look in her beautiful eyes flashed across his mind. The frigid air around him became even more intense.

He glanced at the message that Paul sent to his phone earlier.

Skylar didn’t strike back at the Williamses on social media. It wasn’t because she had no evidence but because her accounts had been blocked.

The Williams family stood in her way. Following that, Sadie treated her so coldly. Despite finding out the truth, she still chose to slight Skylar.

Joe tapped his fingers on the table. He made a call to Paul.

“What are your orders, Mr. Martin?” Paul asked. He sounded a little rushed.

Ever since he changed his charm, he felt luckler for the past two days. He had mindlessly scratched a lottery ticket the day before and won a thousand dollars. It was the most he had ever won!

It was the first time in his life that he received such a windfall.

Also, if it wasn’t for Skylar’s remark, he might have even lost his life if he had continued wearing that

emerald charm.

is help!

Skylar was now being oppressed. He also knew about the truth. He’d feel bad if he didn’t extend his

His conscience nagged at him all night, causing him to lose sleep. He was enraged to see the people who didn’t know the truth being led on by the comments staged by the Williamses.

Even so, he had to wait for Joe’s command. He dared not help Skylar if Joe hadn’t instructed him to do so!

“Don’t do it in Martin Group’s name. Come up with a way that can help her fight back. I think that she wants to handle some things herself.” (

Joe tapped on the table a few more times. He had come to a decision.

He didn’t have feelings for Skylar, and their marriage was contractual. Whatever it was, she was still his wife for the three years they were to stay married,

Although she was his wife only by name, he couldn’t allow others to oppress her so openly.

“Got it!” Paul answered promptly.

Before the call ended, Paul couldn’t help but probe. “Have you fallen for Ms. Sullivan, Mr. Martin?”

“You’re overthinking it,” Joe replied coldly.

Paul didn’t dare to continue asking. Joe’s thoughts were always mysterious. Besides, Gloria favored Skylar. Joe could very well be helping her for Gloria’s sake.

At Williams Residence, Sadie stared at the phone for a long time after the call ended.

She was unresigned. She took another look at the videos from Skylar. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Maisy was the daughter she had raised. So, she recognized her the moment she saw the videos. The person in the videos couldn’t have been anyone else other than Maisy.

She had met Christopher once. She had never liked the poor man since the very beginning.

Previously, she asked Skylar to part ways with him, but she was stubborn and adamantly refused. Ultimately, Christopher ended up getting involved with Maisy.

Didn’t Maisy say she had nothing to do with Christopher?

She claimed that Skylar was the one accusing her.

In the end…

Fury etched across Sadie’s face as she watched the videos. She took her phone with her and went to see Maisy.

Maisy was looking at her phone with glee. She was chatting with Christopher on WhatsApp about how to make his statement so that they could ruin Skylar’s reputation once and for all.

When that time came, they could make Skylar do anything they wanted. With nowhere to run, Skylar would have no choice but to obey them.

Maisy heard someone opening the door. She turned to look. “Yes, Mom?”

“What’s going on between you and Christopher, Maisy? Are you lying to me now?” Sadie questioned
