Chapter 245
When Skylar returned to Galaxy Villa, Joe wasn’t back. Just as she was about to go upstairs to change clothes, she received a call from him.
“Are you free?”
“I just got home.”
“Grandma just called me and asked for your help. Do you have time to visit her?” Joe asked warmly.
Skylar agreed without hesitation, “Of course I have time. Pearlhall Residence, right?
I’ll drive there now.”
“I’ve sent Paul to pick you up. You don’t have to drive yourself. Just rest in the car.
“Okay.”
After getting in the car, Paul was silent at first. He hesitated to speak.
Joe had made it clear that Skylar needed to rest in the car. He would be furious if Paul’s chit–chatting kept her from sleeping. But the latter felt uncomfortable saying
nothing.
“Mr. Ziegler, do you have something to say?” Skylar noticed how Paul had been throwing glances at her through the rearview mirror.
Paul immediately started talking. “Ms. Sullivan, do you remember Marcus Lennon?”
“Yes, I do. What happened to him?”
“Ever since he got AIDS, many people around him have gone to check on
themselves. Several of his recent girlfriends have also tested positive for AIDS.
“Before this incident, the Lennons had been preparing Marcus to be their heir. He frequently acted without thinking and was used to being arrogant and bossy.
“Of course, he wouldn’t dare to do that to Mr. Martin. I used to have several collegemates who worked in the Lennons‘ company. But he secretly framed them.”
Paul didn’t know what he had said. But after seeing Skylar, he wanted to explain

things plainly.
“Well, how is he now?” Skylar asked.

“The Lennons have shunned him, and Mr. Martin isn’t close with him either. He only
got to know Marcus because of Mr. Jakeman.
“When Mr. Martin and I were on a business trip, you called us in time to inform us. If
he had been in the same car as us, we would have been in trouble.” Paul believed in
Skylar very much.
He would never touch anything she wouldn’t let him. His previous bad experiences
had proven that she was trustworthy.
“Later, we discovered that the thumb ring he wore had been given to him by his uncle a year ago. When I saw his thumb ring, I always felt a little uncomfortable. It looked authentic and good, but I felt uneasy.
“I can’t believe it’s negative energy! I just wonder if we would have been in any danger if we had shared a car with him that day and often met with him.”
He was particularly curious about that.
“Yes, you would. The people who have been around him in the past year will be affected, more or less. However, the thumb ring’s negative energy is heavier. If you’ve been in contact with him for a long time, your life will be in danger,” Skylar
stated decisively.
Paul gasped. “I was so lucky that I uploaded that Instagram post that day! Or you wouldn’t have seen it.”

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....
