"When will you be home?" Joe clearly wanted to drop the subject of Rosa.
So, Skylar didn't press further either. "About half an hour. Are you home?"
"Yes, just got in. I'll wait for you."
"Okay."
…
Joe stepped out onto the balcony, opened the window, and lit a cigarette. Then, he called Paul.
"Get to the bottom of everything regarding Rosa. Find a chance to meet her and warn her to stay away from Skylar. If I catch her talking nonsense to Skylar again, I won't let it slide."
"Understood," Paul replied with a shiver.
Why couldn't Rosa see the situation? Anyone smart would have taken the compensation and disappeared to live a carefree life. Yet here she was, foolishly walking straight into trouble.
Did Rosa think everyone was blind to her scheming from three years ago? Frankly, those two slaps he gave her earlier weren't nearly enough.
…
Meanwhile, Stephen was frantic when he couldn't contact the man who sold him the charm.
To make matters worse, he discovered that Simona had blocked him again. It seemed she was dead set on breaking up with him!
At that moment, the casino called to demand repayment of his debts.

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....
