Chapter 596
“Okay,” Jenny agreed hurriedly.
When Jenny stayed back, Rowan also decided to follow in her footsteps.
Skylar felt mildly regretful. She should’ve come in the afternoon.
Skylar discreetly glanced at Joe. There were no emotions on his face. Her sixth sense began firing. She knew Jenny liked Joe. However, she didn’t know how Joe felt about her.
Skylar pondered as she ate.
Gloria wasn’t in the prime of her health. She went for a nap after
lunch.
As they were leaving, Jenny stared at Joe longingly in front of Pearlhall Residence.
“Joe.”
Rowan suddenly said to Skylar, “Skylar, I’ve got something to ask you. Is this a good time?”
Skylar was unfazed. She replied, “Sure.”
Rowan pulled his phone out. There were a few photos of antiques. He asked, “Take a look at these antiques for me. Should I add them to my collection? Are they worth collecting?”
Skylar knew that Rowan was trying to give Joe and Jenny a chance to speak privately. Asking her whether there was any value in those antiques was merely an excuse.
However, she always treated antiques seriously. She observed them thoroughly and missed out on what Joe and Jenny were talking about.
Chapter 596
When she was done looking, the two of them had finished their chat
as well.
As she left with Joe, Skylar saw that Jenny’s eyes were filled with tears. Had she been crying?
They watched Rowan and Jenny leave before getting into their own
car.
Silence ensued between them on the way back to Galaxy Villa.
“Does Mrs. Martin Senior not like me? Is that why Joe is keeping his distance from me? Joe did not use to behave like this before he got married,” sobbed Jenny. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Rowan swore when Jenny started crying. He advised, “The past is in the past. You should live in the present. Wake up, Jenny. Joe promised your mom that he would raise you till adulthood.
“You’ve graduated from university, and you’re going to enter the workforce soon. He’s gotten married. Of course, things are different
now.”
In the past, he wouldn’t have been so harsh with her.
However, Joe had made his stand clear. Skylar was the most important person to him.
Compared to Jenny’s paranoia, Skylar remained calm from the second Jenny arrived until she left.
Rowan would be darned if Skylar couldn’t see Jenny’s intention toward Joe. She was such an intelligent woman.

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....
