Chapter 513
Shane accused Skylar of seducing Andrew. The incident at the fondue
restaurant was a misunderstanding. The others had no idea what had actually happened.
Skylar likely caused such a big fuss over the price that they ended up at the police station.
Andrew was mostly sober now. However, he didn’t care much about the situation. After all, he just needed to deflect blame.
Andrew said, “Yeah, she said she’d be with me tonight, but then she asked for one million. Even if she’s pretty, she’s not worth one million, right? I’m not a sucker.”
“You’re talking nonsense! Who said she agreed to be with you? I can testify It was you who approached and harassed us.” Natalie slammed the table furiously. She was itching to slap Andrew.

“Natalie, even if you have a falling out with Jeremy, watch your words. Are you making friends indiscriminately outside? Does Jeremy know about this?” Andrew continued arrogantly.
Shane addressed Skylar, “You will be held accountable for the impact on my client today. If I were you, I would admit my mistake now and apologize to my client. Otherwise, the consequences will be more than you can handle.”
“Even if your husband is a detective, I have ways to make this matter big. When public opinion comes out, your husband’s job may not be secure anymore.” Apologize now while you still have the chance.” Andrew’s eyes coldly assessed Skylar.
Skylar was becoming more alluring by the minute.
Perhaps tonight, he could get her into bed.
“All of you should be the ones to apologize. My lawyer will be here in a few minutes.” Skylar glanced at the time.
When she heard Andrew calling his lawyer, she immediately called Jacky. He was already on his way.

“Officer, they’re all slandering us. Don’t trust a word they say.” Natalie seethed with anger at Andrew’s shamelessness. She knew all too well how these wealthy and influential people could manipulate public opinion in no time.
Soon, truth or falsehood wouldn’t matter to anyone anymore.
Natalie hadn’t expected a simple outing for fondue to become such a mess.
Natalie felt sorry for Skylar. She wondered if Skylar had been scared by all this.
Skylar said she would hire a lawyer to come over. He wondered if that lawyer would dare to confront Andrew’s lawyer, Shane.
After all, Shane had a reputation in Jipsburg City.
Andrew had even enlisted a PR team to salvage his image promptly.

The police officer was stuck in a dilemma, struggling to grasp the truth. There’s no surveillance footage on site. We’re still gathering evidence at the fondue restaurant. Please remain patient.”
“This isn’t about patience. They’re just bullying us.” Natalie’s eyes reddened with frustration.
At the moment of the incident, she had a fleeting impulse to call Jeremy. But she quickly reconsidered. She couldn’t contact Jeremy.
Unless…
If things really spiraled out of control, she would consider contacting Jeremy. She couldn’t risk Skylar getting into trouble, so she hoped the police could handle this. She also hoped that those witnesses at the fondue restaurant would step forward and testify to what they saw.
“Skye.” Natalie looked at Skylar with concern.
Seeing Natalie’s anxious expression, Skylar reassured her, saying, “It’s alright. My lawyer will be here in a few minutes. He was nearby having dinner, so he’ll
arrive soon.
Seeing Skylar’s optimism, Natalie wanted to say something. But glancing at Andrew, who stood arrogantly nearby, she held back her words,
She thought to herself, “Let’s not dwell on what hasn’t happened yet. Besides, whoever Skylar trusts must be capable.”

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....
