Chapter 228
Skylar had always assumed the role of an elder sister in her interactions with Caleb.
Wasn’t he supposed to be interested in young women his age? Innocent and adorable women who were still in school.
How could he have feelings for her? Skylar thought it was impossible.
“I asked him, and that’s what he said. But don’t take this the wrong way. You were selected to join my father’s team because of your skills,” John explained.
Skylar’s expression turned grim. “Alright. I’ll share a post on Instagram that only he can see.”
“That’s better than confronting him face to face. You can still be friends after that.” John nodded in agreement.
He was surprised to find that Skylar was so considerate despite her age. She was an upright and sensible
woman.
Besides, only a handful of people had the patience to take up something as dull as restoring antiques. Alexander had tried to train John when he had been younger. While John had put up with it for some time, he hadn’t been able to commit to the art. He was talented, but he just couldn’t stay still.
That was why John understood why Caleb had a crush on Skylar. All he could say was Caleb had been born a few years too late and that the two weren’t meant for each other.
After all, Skylar was now Joe’s wife.
While Skylar and John talked, someone snapped away furiously on his phone camera, taking photos and videos of them from an inconspicuous corner of the restaurant. Then, he left in a panic.
After leaving the restaurant, Samuel immediately sent the photos to his family.
*Turns out John is Skylar’s sugar daddy after all! Look at the photos: I took them just now. I saw it all with my very own eyes. They were pretty intimate.
“I heard John only frequents restaurants with his fiancée and has never done so with other women. It seems he really likes Skylar.”
Sadie and Jeffrey had only been making assumptions earlier. They hadn’t expected to see concrete evidence so soon.
Maisy texted, “Samuel, did you hear what they were talking about?”
Had she been wrong before this? Had Annie purposely misled her?
Samuel replied, “I didn’t go close enough to listen in on their conversation.”
Peter texted, “Their conversation isn’t important. It’s more important that we can verify that they are Indeed in a relationship.”
Kenny texted, “I don’t think that’s the case. John has just gotten engaged. Besides, I’ve thought it over, and I think that we should get to know more about Skye. Perhaps she was selected to join Mr. Gamer Senior’s team because she’s truly skilled.”
Maisy replied, “I’ve never heard of her having such skills. But then, she may have kept it a secret all this
while.”
It must be John! Skylar must have become his mistress and could only live in the shadows.
Jeffrey texted, “It’s decided, Peter, get ready. We’ll meet John tomorrow and have a good talk about this.”
Peter agreed immediately, “Sure.”

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....
