Chapter 521
Grayson said, “By the way, that boyfriend of yours from the countryside–after tonight, you need to cut ties tomorrow. Our family can’t afford this
embarrassment, got it?”
Annie’s voice was heavy as she replied, “Alright.”
Annie decided to give it one last try.
If all else failed, the Silver family’s reputation could be sacrificed at this point. Steven was her final option.
After leaving the restaurant, Skylar went to meet Natalie.
Today, Austin was shooting a film scene at their college. While Austin was on
break, Natalie took half an hour off and walked around the familiar campus with Skylar.
Despite leaving the campus just over a year ago, it felt as if they had grown somewhat unfamiliar with the place. It felt like many years had passed.
“You have to come clean with me. What’s going on between you and Joe? When did you end up with him?” Natalie squinted at Skylar.
There was a definite sense that Natalie would not let Skylar off if she didn’t explain properly today.
Skylar briefly recounted how Gloria arranged her marriage to Joe. Then, she summarized the current state of their life, where she and Joe were essentially
cohabiting.
“So, you two had a flash marriage?” Natalie widened her eyes.
Skylar nodded. “Yes, we had a flash marriage. So far, I don’t see any downsides.
“Do you love Joe?” Natalie asked.
As soon as Natalie asked, she regretted it. After all, how could a flash marriage involve love?

Moreover, Skylar had just broken up with Christopher.
Skylar hesitated before replying, “We agreed that love wasn’t part of the deal. We’re just cohabitating. Honestly, it’s been good. Grandma Gloria has been kind to me, and I don’t have any expectations of Joe, so there’s no sense of
loss.”
“Then…” Natalie furrowed her brow. She felt Skylar was being unfairly treated.
But then again, she realized love might not be that important.
After all, Natalie loved Jeremy so deeply that it took a toll on her physically and emotionally. But in the end, they had to get divorced.
“How does Joe treat you?” Natalie asked.
Skylar smiled and said, “He’s good to me. We get along well.”
Of course, Skylar didn’t mention Joe’s unknown quirks. It wasn’t important.

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....
