Chapter 1021
Vera glanced at the ring on her finger and sneered. “How much longer can you keep this up, Skylar?”
It was 10:00 pm, and Joe still hadn’t returned to Galaxy Villa. Skylar took out the two letters Viola had written her and carefully reviewed them.
As she read, a decision suddenly formed in her mind. She picked up her phone and called Joe, but it went
unanswered.
Taking a deep breath, she sent him a text. “Are you coming home tomorrow? I need to see you.”

The message disappeared into the void, receiving no response from Joe.
One week had passed–there weren’t many days left. Before bed, she checked her phone again, but Joe still hadn’t replied.
If he didn’t respond, she would find him tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Joe was in a noisy environment -a gala dinner. A crowd of people surrounded him, and the conversations were mostly repetitive.
After hearing the same topics for what felt like an eternity, he started to feel bored. Without realizing it, he finished his drink and absentmindedly pulled out his phone to check for any messages.
There was a missed call and a WhatsApp message from Skylar. His expression darkened as he read her
text.
Seeing Joe’s disinterest in continuing the conversation, the nearby guests tactfully dispersed. Just then, someone approached him.
“I heard you’ve been avoiding these kinds of events lately. What brought you here today?”
The familiar voice belanged to Vera. Joe put his phone down and looked up at Vera, who was standing right in front of him. He said, “I happened to have some free time.”
Vera smiled graciously, her eyes sparkling with a hint of excitement. “I also just happened to have some
free time.”
In truth, Vera had rushed over. She was originally having dinner with friends when one of them informed her that Joe was attending this gala dinner. Without hesitation, she contacted a stylist to get ready and hurried over.
She couldn’t help but wonder what Joe had seen on his phone. He seemed cold and distant, as if pushing everyone away, making it hard for anyone to approach him.
Earlier, she had watched as the people surrounding Joe gradually backed away. Their caution was evident as they didn’t dare to disturb him any longer.
Despite being more handsome than many popular celebrities, his intimidating presence was overwhelming.

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....
