Chapter 303
But this time, Maisy couldn’t even muster her usual tough talk.
Her eyes bore into Skylar’s with a mix of complexity and anger. “Tell me, who sent you that video? Aren’t you supposed to be ignoring Christopher after the breakup? Was he the one who sent it to you?”
Damn it, Christopher! He should have deleted the video after taking her money. Why had he handed it over to Skylar?
Skylar just smiled and stayed silent.
Maisy felt herself nearing a breakdown. “Skylar, say something!”
“Your actions will always catch up with you sooner or later. You should have known what you’ve done.” Charles couldn’t hold back any longer. He stood up and pushed Maisy away.
Maisy glared at Skylar intensely. If Skylar refused to speak, it definitely had
something to do with Christopher!
Charles shoved Maisy out and slammed the door shut.
The atmosphere at the family dinner had become tense because of Maisy’s appearance, and conversation had dwindled during the meal.
Seeing a different side of Maisy made it clear they’d underestimated the pain Skylar
had endured.
It was especially so for Janine, who’d believed that Maisy had changed and learned
her lesson. But it turned out..
“Steven, didn’t you mention you had something important to share today?” Skylar
broke the silence and looked at Steven.
Steven’s eyes were filled with guilt as he glanced at Skylar. He tried to sound casual. Yeah. There was important–news. So, I’ll be bringing my girlfriend home next time.
“Congratulations!” Skylar was pleasantly surprised. Among her elder brothers, she’d
been worried about Steven the most.
Steven had put his personal life on hold after university to support the family.
“Girlfriend? Steven, you’ve kept this secret well. When did you find time to get a girlfriend?” Charles was shocked.
Charles had always assumed that Steven was solely focused on his scientific research, with no room for relationships. Little did he know that Steven had quietly found himself a girlfriend!
On the other hand, Charles still hadn’t found a girlfriend despite being surrounded by
women every day.
The atmosphere lightened, and Janine also settled down. She asked, “What does she do for a living?”
Steven blushed slightly. “She’s a TV host. We met by chance at work.”
A TV host? Skylar was slightly taken aback.
“A TV host? That’s a great job. Treat her well, you hear me?” Janine advised with a
smile.

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....
