Austin chuckled lightly and said, “You’re right, Hank.”
“I expect a raise,” Hank chimed in.
Natalie, as Jeremy’s wife, wasn’t short of money. However, Hank couldn’t deny Natalie’s excellent work ethic.
Natalie’s eyes widened with delight. “A raise? Thank you!”
She was quietly thrilled. “Wow!”
She always said hard work paid off and that dedication was rewarded. It turned out she was right–she just got a raise!
Not far away, a car pulled up in the rain. Jeremy glanced at the car opposite. He clearly saw Natalie chatting happily with Austin. His expression darkened.
“Mr. Hughes, Mrs. Hughes’s lawyer, Truman Harper, wants to talk to you,” Jeremy’s assistant, Tristan Howell, said from the front seat.
Jeremy pulled his frosty gaze back. “No need. Tell him divorce is out of the question.”
Skylar went to Harvey’s school on the weekend to drop off some necessities. With exams approaching, Harvey hadn’t returned home all month.
After a brief conversation with Skylar at the school gate, he returned inside to
continue his studies.
Then, Skylar returned home and discussed the idea of opening a store with
Janine.
Skylar–planned to source items from the antique street and list them in their store. They also wanted to hire a few people to handle shipping. Then, Janine would manage the business.

Janine suggested thinking through the process and making a plan. During this time, since Harvey was staying at school, Janine often attended classes at a nearby community college to learn computer skills.
She even created well–organized spreadsheets and also downloaded all the popular apps that young people love to play on their phones.
Seeing Janine keep up with the times, Skylar was fully supportive. They chatted until their mouths were dry. Then, Janine made some lemonade.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you about Steven. His relationship with Annie is very stable. He’s considering the next step. He’s not getting any younger and should think about marriage.
“We can’t let Annie feel neglected. In a few days, he’ll visit her parents. We’ll

“I’ve saved the money Steven and Charles have earned over the years. Steven’s career is doing well, and his income is high. I hope that his visit to Annie’s family goes smoothly. After all, he’s had a tough time over the past few years.”
The children lacked a father figure. Steven, the eldest brother, played the father figure role. With Steven’s help and the maturity of the other children, Janine persevered until now.

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....
