Chapter 1211
Skylar replied simply, “Okay.”
Fortunately, the remainder of the journey went smoothly, with no signs of traffic congestion. However, the atmosphere in the car was tense and silent.
Ned seemed to have fallen asleep with his eyes closed, while Rosa stared out the window, her expression heavy with unspoken thoughts.
Skylar found herself distracted as she watched the road ahead. She was quite familiar with this route to the hot spring resort. She had been there several times before, once with Joe.
A sense of nostalgia washed over her. It felt like she was transported back to over three years
ago.
Just then, her phone rang. It was Jeremy. He rarely contacted her. Over the past three years, aside from the issues with the Hughes family, she had managed to resolve everything related
to them. Now that he was calling, it must be important.
She answered the call in a soft voice. “Mr. Hughes?”
“I didn’t attend the gala dinner last night because I had something to handle. I just saw the news and heard about the situation from Rowan. Do you want me to meet with him?” Jeremy ⚫ asked.
Skylar replied quietly, “No, they’re not the same person.”
Hearing this, Jeremy didn’t press further. “Alright.”
He then hung up.
As Skylar was about to put her phone back in her bag, Ned’s voice broke the silence. He asked, Do I resemble the Joe you mentioned?”
The only person in the car who could ask that was Ned. She didn’t hold back her response. Yes, you both look almost identical. That’s why I mistook you for him yesterday. I apologize if I caused any inconvenience to you or Ms. Reese,
Ned frowned again at the emotional distance in her words.
However, Rosa suddenly asked, “As far as I know, Joe has a fiancée. What is your relationship with him, Ms. Sullivan?”
Skylar was taken aback by the question. She could feel both Rosa and Ned watching her intently.
The details of her marriage with Joe were known only to a few close friends, so it was natural for them to be curious about her relationship with him.
Chapter 1211
“I would say we’re very good friends,” she replied.
Rosa blinked, clearly unconvinced. Being a woman herself, she could tell that when Skylar had seen Ned yesterday, her eyes had sparkled with intense emotions.
That kind of intensity could either indicate a secret crush or suggest that Skylar was Joe’s kept mistress. Such things were not uncommon.
After all, three years ago, Joe had been the CEO of the Martin Group. The temptations he faced would be greater than what Ned experienced, not lesser. Under such circumstances, it was hard to believe that anyone could remain faithful

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....
