Skylar found a message from Aiken on her phone.
"Yesterday, Stephen showed up at the college looking for Simona. I had a classmate ready to step in at just the right moment. Simona's attitude shifted quickly, so there was nothing to worry about. Now, it's time for me to start reeling Stephen in."
Aiken's words were more of an update to Skylar, reassuring her that there was no need to keep worrying about Simona. Skylar wasn't surprised that Simona had broken free from the influence of the negative item.
But it only confirmed her suspicions. The negative item attached to Stephen was very similar to the ones she had discovered in Avalon Residence.
These items were destructive to both others and the person who wielded them.
Skylar thought about how Stephen had recently been using the negative item to gain success in romance. However, things were likely going awry in all other aspects of his life.
It wouldn't be long before Stephen's actions would backfire. Skylar frowned as she thought about the frequent appearance of these negative items.
"Do you have a headache? You had so much fun drinking, but now you're paying the price. I have some medicine at home. Let me go get it."
Natalie, still half-dazed, slowly stood up from the couch. She regretted drinking so much. The consequence of drinking so much was that now her whole body felt uncomfortable.
"I've just ordered some breakfast. It'll be here in about 30 minutes. Let's eat and take some hangover medicine afterward," Skylar said as she poured two glasses of water and retrieved some honey from the fridge. "Drink this honey water first."
"I love you so much! This honey is the one you gave me last time. Whenever I wake up with a sore throat, a cup of honey water is all it takes to soothe my throat," Natalie said, quickly finishing the cup of honey water.
The discomfort in her throat immediately eased, and she felt revitalized, as if coming back to life.
Skylar drank her water slowly, sipping it in small amounts. "Do you have plans to go out after breakfast?"
"I think I'll sleep a bit during the day. In the evening, I'll go back to my mom's place. I still don't know how to tell her.
"She's very sensitive. If she finds out about my breakup, I'm sure she'll be even more upset than I am. Just thinking about it gives me a headache," Natalie said, clearly regretting telling her family about her relationship with Austin.
Secrets like this couldn't remain buried for long. One day, Austin paid her a visit and, by chance, encountered her mom.

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....
