Chapter 1102
Joe gently coaxed Skylar for a while. After they gathered Viola’s belongings, they headed to Pearlhall Residence.
On the way, they called George and Alexander. They arranged to meet at Pearlhall Residence but didn’t reveal much over the phone.
However, both George and Alexander felt a growing unease during the drive. They pondered various possibilities during the trip.
Upon arriving at Pearlhall Residence, they were greeted by the sight of Gloria dabbing her eyes with a tissue. Her eyes were swollen and red from crying.
Noticing the absence of Viola made the air heavy with an unspoken answer.
They also spotted Skylar, who looked pale, her eyes red and puffy. The answer they had been contemplating surfaced in their minds.
George and Alexander stood motionless at the door.
At their age, losing friends one after another had become a familiar pain. Yet…
Joe walked toward the entrance. He called out, “Mr. Querbach Senior, Mr. Gardner Senior.”
Both men were momentarily slow to react, then nodded in acknowledgment before following
him inside.
Gloria looked up at her two friends, tears streaming down her face. “You’ve come.”
Just as she spoke, the tears flowed again. She quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears.
“Viola…” George began, but his voice was hoarse, laden with emotion.
Having lived a long life, he often found himself lacking the courage he wished he had, especially when he longed to see Viola one last time.
“Viola… she’s gone ahead of us, waiting for us on the other side.” Gloria glanced at Skylar,
who was more distraught than she was. She squeezed Skylar’s hand before answering George.
“What?” George took a sudden step back.
Alexander closed his eyes, his face pale. “You all should sit down. Let Joe explain Viola’s
situation in detail.” Gloria had little energy left.
She couldn’t find the strength to explain everything to her friends. The pain was overwhelming.
She had assumed that her own health issues might lead her to depart this life before anyone else, yet it was Viola who had left them first.

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....
