Chapter 1134
Joe asked, “Have you been waiting for me?”
“I haven’t been awake for long. I made some chicken soup. Do you want some now?” She headed toward the kitchen, and Joe followed close behind.
Joe stood just behind her in the kitchen. Neither spoke, yet there was a peaceful and calm atmosphere between them.
Skylar handed him a bowl of chicken soup, their eyes meeting briefly. They shared a small
smile.
An hour later, Howard arrived, giving Joe a quick check–up. Once he confirmed everything was fine, he left.
Not long after, Paul showed up with a few contracts. They were documents Joe needed to review and sign that day.
Joe went straight to the study to get to work. He was finally done by 3:00 pm.
Later, they cooked dinner together at home. Just like that, the day passed.
Before bed, they spoke on the phone with Gloria. Then, Skylar got a call from Alexander, who had a job for her to look into the next day.
The next morning, Joe fully recovered and went back to work while Skylar went to meet
Alexander.
His friend had contacted Frank, hoping to get Alexander’s help finding Skylar. They had sought her out for help identifying whether any of the family’s antiques were linked to negative items.
In their circle, people were passionate about collecting antiques. However, with the recent surge in cases involving negative items, collectors were growing increasingly anxious.
The elder’s collection wasn’t large. After examining ten or so pictures, Skylar concluded there was nothing wrong with them.
Nevertheless, the elder insisted on transferring her a fee for her services.
“The person
behind the negative items has gone quiet recently. I had people investigate
Kevin, but news has yet to come up.
“It’s been too long, and those from the older generation who might have known about Viola having a brother are no longer around.” Alexander sighed with a hint of sadness.
Worrying that the conversation would upset him, Skylar reassured him. “We’ll figure it out. He’s secretly made moves for so long that he’ll slip up eventually. Moreover, we’ve already confirmed that Molly is one of his people. If we follow her trail, we’ll get some answer.”

“True,” Alexander replied.
“If this person doesn’t reveal themselves soon, Joe will take action against Molly. But it’s possible she’s just being used and may not even know who’s behind everything.
“We’ll take it one step at a time. Now that everyone thinks you and Joe are divorced, you have a chance to rest for a while. Once you’re ready, you can return to work,” he added.
At his age, Alexander knew that no one in his family was capable of carrying on his legacy, so he had already decided to leave it all to Skylar.
Without Viola back then, Alexander wouldn’t even be here today. Leaving everything to Skylar felt like paying it forward for Viola’s kindness.

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....
