Chapter 565
A sense of foreboding stuck with Paul. He sighed. “Is tomorrow going to be hellish? What on earth did Skylar do to upset Mr. Martin? Mr. Martin is letting other women get close now.”
Looking closely at the photo, Paul noticed that the woman resembled Skylar. “Is this a stand–in?”
He thought this was a disaster. He wouldn’t be getting any sleep tonight.
Back at Hughes Residence, Jeremy tried calling Joe several times, but there was no answer. Jeremy wondered if Joe was already in
bed.
He tossed his phone aside and examined the items on the table. They were all things he had found at Annabelle’s place.
Jeremy had seen these items before and had questioned their presence. They didn’t fit Annabelle’s usual style, and she wouldn’t normally carry such things.
He also found the painting unusual. It didn’t match her home decor, and she wasn’t the type to collect artwork like this.
These items seemed out of place, almost deliberately put there for him to see. When Jeremy first saw the painting, he felt a sudden urge–having a child with Annabelle seemed intriguing.
However, the thought quickly faded.
Jeremy seethed with anger as he recalled the situation. It was clear that Annabelle had done this on purpose.

“Annabelle, you’re asking for trouble!” His eyes were icy, and his voice was equally cold.
Meanwhile, Annabelle had just returned home. Her flight for the following day was already booked.
She confirmed with Raelyn that Mason was going to Jipsburg City. They knew she had money and demanded she give it all to them to enjoy.
They assumed she was still young enough to earn more.
They now knew her address. Annabelle never imagined that Jeremy would actually follow through on his threats. He truly hated her.
Even now, she couldn’t understand. She had thought that, even if he didn’t like her, he would still hold some regard for her after all the time they had spent together.
“Jeremy, you’re too heartless. You know my past. You should understand that I need care and affection the most. Do you have any sympathy for my plight?”
Her desperate questions seemed to mock her at this moment.
not
The next moment, she returned home. She went to her room to pack and glanced at the wall.
A painting that had been hanging there was now missing.
Her eyes widened in alarm as she quickly searched the rest of her belongings. The items that had been in her vanity drawer were also
gone.
“How could this be? Jeremy, did you notice something? No, you couldn’t have noticed. It must be a thief who broke in.”

She frantically called the airport customer service. Her hands were shaking.
She said, “I need to change my flight. Are there any flights tonight?

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....
