Chapter 133
1/2
Everyone thought Skylar was dreaming.
“Why not try? You won’t know until you try. Transfer a billion dollars to me now, and maybe tomorrow at this time, I’ll show you a marriage certificate,” Skylar laughed.
“Stop being ridiculous. If word of this gets out, people will think the daughter of the Williams family doesn’t know her limit. If one million dollars isn’t enough, I’ll give you two million dollars. That’s a as I can offer. Don’t push your luck,” Peter said.
as much
He took a deep breath and tried to stay patient. If it weren’t for the unprecedented crisis the Williams family was facing, he wouldn’t give Skylar even two hundred dollars, let alone two million.
She always asked for too much and wasn’t afraid to make bold demands. Knowing Paul and unable to make him like her, she shamelessly claimed she’d marry Joe. Peter felt that it was disgraceful!
“Maisy, Joe isn’t someone like Christopher. Just because you say you like him doesn’t mean he’ll like you,” Maisy said disdainfully.
She knew Skylar’s days outside must have been tough. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be daydreaming. If daydreaming were useful, she reasoned, Skylar would already be Mrs. Martin now.
“Liking someone and marrying them are two different things. Even if he doesn’t like me, that doesn’t stop him from marrying me,” Skylar stated truthfully.
Everyone in the bedroom was listening, but they thought she was just bullshitting.
Sadie initially felt a bit guilty. But now, she was frustrated that Skylar wasn’t turning out as expected.
“Stop fantasizing. The Williams family can’t reach Joe’s level. Even if we really gave you a billion, Joe wouldn’t give you a second glance. Stop being ridiculous. Peter said coldly.
“If you never try, you’ll never know. One billion dollars, no less,” Skylar said expressionlessly.
“Impossible!” Samuel was the first to shout angrily.
“You need to stay home and cool off, Jeffrey spat.
Peter instructed, “Samuel, stay here and watch her. Make sure she doesn’t wander off. Let her think things through tonight.”
“Dad, Peter, you go to the office. I’ll stay and talk to her,” Maisy said.
Sadie also put on a stern expression. “It’s good you’re staying home. Take care of me. My neck’s been uncomfortable. The massage you gave me before was quite helpful. Give me a massage now.”
Indeed, Skylar had her merits. She had been good to her mother before.
Just then, Kenny’s eyes reddened slightly as he asked Skylar, “Do you hate us? Is that why you don’t want to help us?”
Skylar laughed lightly. “You’re just realizing this now?”
She wondered if there was anything they had done that wouldn’t make her hate them.
Kenny was stunned. Maisy was taken aback. Sadie and Peter furrowed their brows.

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....
