Chapter 1004
During the day, Joe had insisted that he had no relationship with Vera, but now they were out together at a bar. It was clear he was lying, thinking she had no evidence.
“Joe, I’m not stupid. Thanks to Ms. Ruell for providing the photos,” Skylar texted. 1
After sending the message, she turned off her phone and went to sleep.
In a dimly lit bar, Joe had downed two drinks. He felt indifferent as he watched his old classmates, who had all changed over the years.
As he set his glass down and prepared to leave, he felt his phone vibrate. Pulling it out, he saw the photos and message from Skylar, and his face darkened immediately. He turned his sharp gaze toward Vera.
When Vera met Joe’s intense stare, her heart skipped a beat. She wondered why he was looking at her with such a frightening expression.
She asked, “Joe, what’s wrong?”
The atmosphere was lively just now. A group of old classmates had gathered and shared a few drinks. They reminisced about their high school days and current lives, making it feel like those events happened just yesterday.
In such a great atmosphere, she wondered why Joe was suddenly looking at her with such a terrifying expression. It made her heart race, and an inexplicable fear overwhelmed her.
Joe stood up and said, “We need to talk outside.”
“Outside? Okay.” Vera was initially taken aback, but then a wave of excitement washed over her. She wondered if he remembered their past from high school.
Those innocent and naïve feelings from their youth would always be a cherished memory–something that no one could ever replace.
Today might be the day when she and Joe finally reconciled. With that thought, Vera followed Joe outside.
The noise from the bar ceased as soon as they stepped outside. The street was eerily quiet compared to the bar’s liveliness, with only a few pedestrians around.
Vera had dressed lightly for the evening, and the sudden breeze made her wrap her coat tighter.
“Is there something you need to tell me? There’s no one else around now, so we can talk,” Vera said with a touch of haughtiness.
In her mind, as long as Joe took the initiative, she could afford to be accommodating. She could never afford to be at a disadvantage in front of him.
Joe didn’t look at her, but his profile exuded a sharp coldness. “Did you specifically take a photo of just the two of us and send it to Skylar?”
Vera’s face went pale, her disbelief evident as she stared at Joe. She was at a loss for words. He wondered how he had found out. Did Skylar go to him?
This was supposed to be their issue, but Skylar had gone to Joe. Just as she suspected, Skylar was a schemer. She glanced at her ring and quickly regained her composure.

She replied, “Yes, I didn’t think it through. Besides, I haven’t chatted much with Skylar since we added each other on WhatsApp.
“I wanted to maintain our friendship, and she might be curious about your whereabouts tonight. If this has caused any trouble, it’s my fault. I’ll explain everything to Skylar.”

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
