Chapter 1106
40 minutes later, Helena helped the half–drunken Jeremy into Hughes Residence.
The place was empty, and there was no maid around. She initially planned to leave him at the door, but noticing the absence of help, she asked Jeremy which floor his bedroom was on.
However, Jeremy was too drunk to answer her. She had no choice but to guide him upstairs. After pushing open a door and finding a bedroom inside, she decided to put him on the bed, regardless of whether it was a guest room.
Just as she was about to leave, Jeremy’s heavy body pinned her down. “Mr. Hughes? Mr. Hughes?”
She tried pushing him away, but he wouldn’t budge. She was silenced by a kiss just as she was about to say something.
The room was still dark, and the lights weren’t turned on. In the dim glow, she could make out Jeremy’s deep–set eyes gazing at her intently. His look was so full of emotion and compelling that she felt trapped in it.
Helena’s heart raced as she forgot to speak or push him away. The next moment, Jeremy spoke softly, “You’re finally back…”
The rest of his words were lost in a passionate kiss.
The next morning, Helena woke up, blinded by sunlight. For a moment, she was disoriented But as she focused her eyes, she saw Jeremy standing by the window.
Suddenly, the events of the previous night flooded back to her.
“Mr. Hughes-”
Last night, they had crossed a line.
Jeremy didn’t turn around when he heard Helena call out. He held a cigarette in his hand, took a puff, and released several smoke rings into the air.
Just from his silhouette, it was clear that Jeremy exuded an air of loneliness. There was none of the warmth or tenderness one might expect after the night they had shared.
Helena sensed this change, her face paling as she recalled the scenes from the previous night. In those moments, it seemed he had said to her, “You’re finally back.”
At that moment, she hadn’t thought much of it. But now, it was clear that his words were meant for Natalie.
So, when he woke up and found that the woman from last night had changed from Natalie to

her, he must have felt disappointed.
In that instant, Helena’s face burned as if she had just been punched.
“Name your price. Let’s just pretend last night didn’t happen,” Jeremy finally spoke, but his words caused Helena’s expression to shift dramatically.
She forced a self–deprecating smile and replied, “How about 10 million?”
“Deal.”

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....
