Skylar thought, “Out of service?”
She wondered if Joe’s phone was just turned off or possibly in airplane mode. They might have had an evening flight and were supposed to arrive the next day. With each passing thought, her anxiety intensified.
“What on earth is happening?” she murmured, gazing at the cityscape lit up by night.
Three days had passed in silence without any word from him.
During those days, no matter how many times she called, she only heard that the phone was out of service. She even sought out Jacky and Howard, hoping they would have more insight into Joe’s situation.
Jacky urged her to wait for news while he inquired at the Martin Group.
After contacting the overseas company manager, he learned that Joe and Paul had finished their work four days prior. According to the timeline, they should have returned to Jipsburg three days ago.
Receiving this news hit Skylar like a thunderbolt.
“Mrs. Martin, we can’t reach Mr. Martin or Paul. There’s a strong possibility something has gone wrong. We need to head over there immediately and contact the local police to trace their whereabouts. As Mr. Martin’s wife, your legal status will help us in this matter, and we’ll accompany you.”
Jacky acted swiftly, formulating a response. Skylar’s face turned pale, leaving her at a loss for words. She understood what Jacky was implying.
Joe and Paul were missing, and the situation was likely dire.
Howard’s complexion also turned ashen. “We’re going to Murida?”
“Yes.” Jacky nodded.
Going to Murida meant they would have to reach out to various people. Otherwise, dealing with the local police wouldn’t be easy.
Of course, if Joe was merely missing, they could utilize some resources to locate him. But what
if…
Moreover, they could no longer keep Joe’s disappearance under wraps. The shareholders of the Martin Group were already unable to reach him. Soon enough, news of his troubles in Murida would leak.
When that happened, the Martin family…

All of this was what Skylar had to face, as well as what Gloria had to endure. While Jacky was thinking about this, his phone buzzed with several WhatsApp notifications.
Opening WhatsApp, he saw a news link sent by his office assistant regarding Joe from the Martin Group. His expression darkened immediately.
Someone had already begun to inquire about the situation.
Skylar snapped back to reality amidst the ringing of her phone.
The name “Steven” on her screen reminded her that she was in the real world. The news Jacky had brought back was true, not just a nightmare.
“Steven.”

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....
