Chapter 35
Christopher was driving as he said to the phone, “Skylar wants to break up with me.”
“Break up with you? But isn’t she madly in love with you?”
Maisy felt like things were slipping out of her control. Something must have happened to Skylar that she and Christopher didn’t know about.

“I still don’t get it either. Could it be that she found out about our affair? If she has, I should take this chance to break it off with her. Let’s make our relationship official, Maisy.”
“Christopher, you and I aren’t in a relationship. We’re just regular friends who happened to go to the same college.
“So what if Skylar thinks we had an our affair? She’s just being paranoid and overthinking things.” Maisy drew a clear line between her and Christopher at once.
Christopher slammed the brakes just then. “B–But we had sex in a hotel room last week. Doesn’t that mean we’re seeing each other?”
Maisy bluntly replied, “It’s only sex. It’s not like we have a future together. Besides, my parents would never let me marry you. I’m different from Skylar, after all.”
She’d merely enjoyed stealing Skylar’s boyfriend. It wasn’t like she would willingly let herself marry
someone with a lower social standing.
Christopher gripped the steering wheel, his chest tightening so much it was difficult to breathe. “You don’t think I’m good enough?”
“You know about Joe Martin, right? He’s the CEO of Martin Group. I’d gladly become your official girlfriend
if you had the same social background as him!
“Since you don’t, please don’t take this thing between us too seriously. You should brainstorm ways to win Skylar back and have her continue donating blood to me.”
Maisy had never cared about what Christopher thought. She wouldn’t have been interested in Christopher if he hadn’t been Skylar’s boyfriend,
Christopher gritted his teeth after ending the call. Maisy’s words had reminded him that he couldn’t afford to lose Skylar. So, he would never let Skylar break up with him.
He called her at once, but she declined the call, just like she had before.
For some reason, he began to panic and sent her a text. “Babe, we’re not breaking up. I don’t agree to it. We’ll talk things through when you’re not angry anymore.”
Following that, he called Amelia.
Ten minutes later, Skylar was driving along the road back to Galaxy Villa. She first received calls and texts

from Christopher. However, less than ten minutes passed when Amelia called her, too.
There happened to be congestion on the road, so Skylar answered the call.

“Skye! I heard you and Christopher are fighting. Did he upset you? I’ve given him a good scolding, and he knows he made a mistake.
“Please let him off the hook for my reputation’s sake, okay?” Amelia advised Skylar like she was the wiser,
older family member.
Skylar found the former’s words ridiculous. “Your reputation doesn’t matter to me. Do you know why I
answered your call?”
“What on earth is going on with you, Skye? You were never this impolite to me before.” Amelia–was getting slightly angry.
“I don’t need to be polite with you. I only answered your call because a child picks up bad behaviors from their parents. Christopher is a carbon copy of you. In fact, he’s an even more skilled villain than you.
*You and your son are like a pack of vermin. It’s no wonder you guys are family!” Skylar shouted before
promptly hanging up.
Skylar had only learned the truth when she’d been amputated and bedridden in her previous life.

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....
