Chapter 496
At the end of her rant, Natalie could no longer keep her emotions in check. She was on the verge of breaking down.
Jeremy’s face paled upon hearing that. Natalie knew everything.

After Skylar got off work, she called Natalie and asked, “So you’ve moved out, Nath?”
Natalie had texted her, saying she had moved out in the afternoon. Now, she was staying in a small apartment that her parents gifted her. She’d stayed there before getting married.
“Yes, I’ve just moved in. However, Jeremy didn’t agree to the divorce,” Natalie said. Her head pounded when she thought of her stand–off with Jeremy and his stubbornness.
Skylar got into her car. Before she started the engine, she asked, “Do you want me to stay with you?”
“I’m alright for now. You should go home and get some rest. I’ve got everything I need here, and I’ve already cleaned up. Right, there are two rooms in my apartment. You can come over to stay with me,” replied Natalie.
She was lucky. Although she’d lost her husband to an affair, she still had her best friend. Having her best friend support her through such trying times was a blessing.
Natalie was afraid that Skylar would worry about her. Thus, she said her takeout had arrived and hung up soon after.
Natalie looked around the familiar apartment for a moment. Then, she called her high school friend, saying, “My husband does not want a divorce. I would like to file for divorce. Can you help me with the legal proceedings?”
She said, “Alright, I’ll set it in motion. Perhaps you should discuss this with your husband.”
“I might do so in the future. For now… let’s get started with the process. I want to let him know that I am determined to get divorced.”
“Alright.”
Natalie threw her phone to the side after hanging up. Her heart squeezed painfully. It was probably because of the all–encompassing silence.
She didn’t understand. Jeremy wanted to look for a spark with other women and had fallen for someone else. Why was he unwilling to divorce her? Was he scared that their parents wouldn’t allow it?
After a moment of thought, she texted Jeremy, “If you’re afraid that our parents will scold you because of the divorce, I can be the one to tell them.
“We can say that our personalities don’t mesh well together. We only realized that we couldn’t tolerate each other for the rest of our lives after getting married. Thus, we’ll separate on good terms.”
Jeremy responded, “Natalie, we’re not going to get a divorce.”
When Natalie realized Jeremy hadn’t changed his mind, tears filled her eyes. She asked, “Jeremy, why should we stay together? I can’t come to terms with your betrayal! Put yourself in my shoes.
“If I cheated on you and slept with someone else, would you be able to accept that? Wouldn’t you also find me disgusting?”

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....
