In the past two or three years, Skylar rarely heard Harvey criticize someone so harshly.
"There's no need to get so worked up over someone like that."
"I'm not angry, just disgusted. The whole university is gossiping about him now, and seeing it just makes me feel sick."
Harvey was like a child in front of Skylar. He was completely different from the image that others had of him.
Of course, part of Harvey's disdain for Stephen stemmed from how much Stephen resembled Christopher in certain ways. Christopher was someone who would use any unscrupulous means to achieve his goals.
Thinking about how Skylar had been deceived and mistreated by Christopher before, Harvey couldn't help but harbor intense hatred for such similar personalities.
Seeing this childish side of Harvey, Skylar couldn't help but laugh. "You don't have competitions tonight, right? Go to bed early."
"Mm, I'll sleep soon. Skye, why don't I see Joe? It's so late, and he's still not home?" Harvey carefully scanned the room but didn't see Joe.
He still felt a little unease about Joe.
Skylar was about to respond when Joe suddenly took the phone from her hand.
"You have something to say to me?" Joe asked Harvey directly.
Harvey hadn't expected Joe to suddenly grab the phone and ask him that question so boldly. Wasn't he supposed to have amnesia? Even if he had recovered some of his memories recently, this was a bit…
He was momentarily speechless.
"Oh, nothing much. Just wanted to say goodnight to you," Harvey quickly recovered and replied.
Joe nodded. "Alright, goodnight. Listen to your sister and rest early."
Lying on the bed, Skylar couldn't help but smile at how Joe took on his role as a brother-in-law so naturally to instruct Harvey. Didn't Joe realize how intimidating his presence could be at times?
Even if Harvey had something to say, it was probably scared out of him by Joe's sudden attention.
Indeed, Harvey was thrown off by Joe's unexpected questioning and concern. He was an intimidating and highly capable brother-in-law. Harvey was still getting used to this dynamic.
However, it didn't matter if he felt a little uncomfortable as long as Joe treated Skylar well.

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....
