Chapter 568
Rowan was only this patient when dealing with Jenny. Although he couldn’t see Jenny and could only hear her voice on the phone, he could imagine how heartbroken she must be.
She was a woman who could effortlessly elicit sympathy from others.
“He sees you only as a sister,” Rowan clarified further.
Jenny’s voice seemed to crack with tears. “Did he really say that? Did he really say there’s no room for a third person at Galaxy Villa?”
When she decided to return to Jipsburg City, she had planned to live with Joe. She wanted to see him daily and understand how het felt about Skylar.
She wondered if Joe only married Skylar to make Gloria happy, not because he genuinely liked her.
But now, Joe had outright rejected her. It proved he cared more about Skylar.
“Yes,” Rowan confirmed.
Jenny burst into tears. “Rowan, is Skylar really that amazing? Is she worth him hurting me just to protect her?

“I’ll be waiting for you.”
On his way to the company, Joe glanced at his phone. As expected, there were no messages from Skylar.
This only confirmed his assessment that Skylar was indeed
heartless.
However, there were a few missed calls.
The calls were from Jeremy.
Jeremy wouldn’t call unless it was something important. Hence, Joe returned the call.
When the line connected, Joe asked, “Is something wrong?”
“I was looking for you to reach Skylar. After you missed my call, I managed to get in touch with her this morning, and the matter is resolved,” Jeremy replied briefly, leaving out the details.”
There was an unspoken understanding among them. For straightforward issues, there was no need for elaborate

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....
