Chapter 519
Skylar glanced over the dishes laid out before her. She found them quite to her
taste.
Skylar wasn’t particularly fond of Wiscadian cuisine, but she enjoyed certain
dishes.
“I asked Steven what you might like from Wiscadian cuisine, and I’ve ordered those. You can see if it suits your taste.” Annie spoke softly. She had taken the initiative to connect with Skylar.
She was now actively showing goodwill toward Skylar.
Skylar sensed Annie’s proactive gesture and nodded lightly. She said, “Thank you. These look delicious.”
Annie noticed Skylar’s reserved demeanor. For a brief moment, her face stiffened, but she quickly recovered and dismissed it as inconsequential.
“That’s good to hear.” Annie smiled gently.
With neither Steven nor Janine present, Skylar’s attitude toward Annie gained a touch more genuine indifference. She said, “If there’s something on your mind, just say it.”
“Well, there’s nothing specific. It’s just that Steven and I are both satisfied with each other and taking our relationship seriously.
“But before this, there were misunderstandings between us. Looking back, I regret it deeply. I was too irrational at that time.” Annie expressed with remorse
in her voice.
Skylar observed Annie’s sincerity. She took a few bites of her food. As Annie was whitewashing the previous incident, Skylar’s eyes flickered slightly.
“Do you not believe me?” Annie asked. She locked eyes with Skylar.
Skylar lifted her gaze to meet Annie’s. “Does it matter whether I believe you or
not?“.
Annie looked momentarily surprised. “Of course, it matters. You’re Steven’s sister, and he cares about your opinion.
Chapter 519
“We both hope for your blessing, and I don’t want past issues to affect our relationship. Once I’m married to Steven, we’ll be family. Family should avoid suspicion, right?”
“Even if you marry Steven, we won’t have many chances to meet. Annie, I’ve mentioned before that my family matters most to me. If they’re hurt, I’ll do everything I can to retaliate against those who hurt them. Whether you truly love Steven, you know best,” Skylar stated calmly.
On the way to the restaurant, she had pondered deeply. Steven’s feelings for Annie were at their deepest in the current situation. If she said anything negative about Annie now, it would surely backfire.
She couldn’t afford the risk.
Annie’s face gradually tightened.
“Of course, Steven is exceptional. I’ll bless you both if you truly love him and aren’t approaching him with ulterior motives. But that’s all. And you should know Joe better than I do.
“He won’t allow anyone to deceive him or use him. Besides, I’m not as important to him as you might think. It’s up to you to decide how you measure yourself,” Skylar said calmly and slowly.
Annie’s expression turned several shades paler.
Skylar smiled faintly. “How’s your family lately, Ms. Silver?”
With that question, Annie looked up abruptly. She stared at Skylar with utter disbelief. In her mind, Skylar was not like their circle. She was different from
them.
From a young age, they had to learn how to plan to get everything they wanted. They employed various means to achieve their goals.

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....
