Chapter 294
Fortunately, Christopher’s infidelity had been exposed. If Skylar had stayed with him, the consequences would have been disastrous.
“I really want to kick him!” Caleb fumed, anger boiling within him.
Alexander glanced at Caleb, sighing inwardly. Caleb was still young, unaware of how truly malicious some people could be.
Some people were inherently evil, seeing everyone around them as tools to be exploited and ready to drain any ounce of benefit they could find.
Christopher was such a person, having preyed on Skylar’s kind nature, either from a sudden realization of her worth or sheer selfishness and ruthlessness.
“It’s best to keep away from people like him,” Alexander said to Skylar with a meaningful look.
After all, he had watched Joe grow up. Despite the challenges Joe had faced, he was trustworthy and dependable. It was a stark contrast to Christopher.
Skylar’s eyes reddened slightly. She knew Alexander had seen right through Christopher’s character.
Before her rebirth, even Steven and the others had expressed doubts about Christopher’s reliability. But she had been blinded by her emotions.
Looking back now, it was clear that those around her had seen the truth all along.
“Thank you.
I know what kind of person he is now, and I’m married. People like him don’t bother me anymore,” Skylar replied with a smile.
Alexander nodded in agreement, smiling back.
Caleb, however, looked uneasy at Skylar’s mention of her marriage. While he was normally talkative, he suddenly didn’t know what to say.
The three of them parted ways in the parking lot. As Skylar drove away, she spotted Christopher still struggling with the security guards, his familiar face contorted in angry humiliation.
Despite everything, he didn’t seem to be in dire straits financially.
Skylar’s mind raced. After Amelia’s surgery, Christopher should have been strapped for cash. Yet, he didn’t appear worried about money at all.
A troubling thought crossed her mind–the video she had once seen. Could Christopher have profited illegally from that video?
The thought of Christopher and Maisy turning on each other, tearing each other apart in a vicious cycle of betrayal and revenge, flashed through Skylar’s mind.
As she stared at the traffic light ahead, her gaze hardened, growing colder by the
second.
At Martin Group, Joe finished signing the last document and then called Paul into his
office.
“What’s the situation with the Williams family?” Joe asked.
“They should be on the brink of bankruptcy by now. I haven’t been following closely,
but I’ll check right away.“.
Paul was somewhat surprised. Why was Joe bringing up the Williams family on his
own initiative?
In the past few days, Joe had visibly been in high spirits, which was very different

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....
