Chapter 299
Maisy hadn’t expected to run into Steven and Charles. She had just recollected her composure and was about to knock on the door again.
Sensing their indifference toward her, she cursed inwardly. Nevertheless, she
maintained a cheerful facade and said, “I came to see Mom and you two.”
Steven was somewhat surprised by the drastic change in Maisy’s attitude.
On the other hand, Charles snorted coldly. “No need to act all friendly. You’re not
welcome today. Come back another day if you want.”
It was their family time, and they didn’t want Maisy around.
Maisy bit her lip, her eyes tearing up. “You’re my brothers, and I wanted to see you. I
know I was wrong before, and I’ve realized my mistake.
“I hope you can forgive me. Steven, I truly understand now. You guys are my true family,” she said earnestly, looking at them both.
Steven felt an inexplicable discomfort at being called so intimately, and his frown

Janine was momentarily unsure of how to react to Maisy’s sudden appearance.
“Mom, are Steven and Charles back?” Skylar’s voice came from inside.
Skylar?
Maisy sneered inwardly. No wonder they didn’t want her inside; Skylar was there too. Perfect!
“Skylar’s here too?” she exclaimed with feigned surprise, looking at Janine eagerly.
Janine could only nod.
Skylar heard Maisy’s voice, and her smile faded. It had been a long time since she had heard Maisy call her so pleasantly.
Skylar walked to the door, greeted Steven and Charles, then turned to face Maisy. It had been a few days since she’d seen her.
Although Maisy looked a bit pale, her makeup was impeccable. She was still as

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....
