Chapter 1109
Skylar said, “Ms. Garza, I just heard from Joe about what’s happening with your family. I’ll need to see the situation myself to understand it better. If it’s convenient, I can come by
tomorrow.‘
Lizzie replied, “I’m at home right now, so anytime works for me. I really appreciate you coming all this way. I’ll pick you up at the airport tomorrow.”
Considering the current situation between Joe and Lizzie, Skylar quickly added, “No need for that. Just send me your address, and I’ll take a cab from the airport.”
“It’s no trouble. Don’t worry about being seen. Nobody knows I’ve left Jipsburg. You’re coming all the way here, and there’s no way I’m letting you take a cab to my house. It’s settled, then. See you tomorrow,” Lizzie said, leaving Skylar no chance to refuse.
After the call ended, Skylar quickly packed a few things. The next morning, Lucas came to pick
up
both her and Joe, dropping Skylar off at the airport first.
Joe couldn’t take time off, so he had to stay behind in Jipsburg. Skylar would be meeting Lizzie
alone today.
Just before she got out of the car, Joe pulled her into a deep kiss, pressing her into the seat for a long while.
When she stepped out of the car, her lips were swollen, and her face flushed. Thankfully, she had a mask in her bag. She quickly put it on, lowered her head, and entered the airport
terminal.
As she walked in, she complained to herself, “My lips are completely numb.”
Even now, she still felt a bit light–headed from the lack of oxygen.
Two hours later, after boarding the plane and settling into her seat, someone suddenly appeared before her.
“Mrs. Martin.”
Startled by the familiar voice, Skylar looked up. “Paul?”
Paul nodded enthusiastically, flashing a wide grin. “Surprised to see me? Mr. Martin was worried about you going alone.”
By the time she reached Adaver, it would essentially be Lizzie’s territory. The Garza family was the most prominent in Adaver, so nothing was likely to happen to Skylar there.
Moreover, very few people knew about Skylar and Joe’s marriage. To the outside world, Joe’s fiancée was still thought to be Lizzie. As a result, Lizzie became the target of attention and gossip.

However, Lizzie was anything but fragile. Anyone trying to mess with her might as well be courting disaster.
Paul felt like this trip was more of a vacation. It was a rare opportunity to relax.
“That makes sense.” Skylar nodded and gestured for Paul to take a seat.
After sitting down, Paul smiled at her. “Adaver is known for its food, including your favorite- fondue. I know a few places that do it really well. When I was in college, Lizzie invited me a few times, and just thinking about it now makes my mouth water.”
Joe had asked Paul to tag along, not just to protect Skylar, but for another reason–one that Paul was almost embarrassed to admit. Joe was overcautious, especially around Lizzie, worried she might somehow tempt Skylar.
However, it didn’t make any sense. Lizzie was devoted to someone else, and even if she wasn’t, it was unlikely she would try to go after Skylar.
Skylar smiled and said, “Once the Garza family’s situation is sorted, I’ll treat you to some.”
Paul grinned, not even pretending to be polite. “Deal. I’ll pick the place:”

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....
