Chapter 604
After leaving the studio, Natalie went back to her apartment. She tried calling Kate repeatedly but received no answer.
She figured Kate must have sensed something. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have insisted so strongly on her return. This was indeed problematic.
Meanwhile, Jeremy came home early at Hughes Residence, before his usual time.
Kate had already arrived and was sitting in the living room, waiting for them to come back. She wasn’t surprised to see Jeremy come back early.
“Mom,” Jeremy greeted.
Kate sighed and looked at Jeremy, who was sitting across from her. “Have some water first. There are a few things I want
to ask you.”
Her phone was beside her. She had multiple missed calls from Natalie.
Jeremy took a few sips of water, then set down the glass and
looked at Kate.
“Is there something going on between you and Nath? Did she move out?” Kate asked directly.
She had seen Natalie living in her pre–marriage apartment, which Kate and Natalie’s father, Damon Jakeman, had
purchased. Natalie wouldn’t have moved out if nothing had
happened between her and Jeremy.
Natalie’s recent behavior had been off. She was adamant about going back to work.
Kate should have thought more deeply about the situation between Natalie and Jeremy then.
Natalie and Jeremy had grown up together, so Kate was confident in Jeremy’s character. She had trusted him wholeheartedly with Natalie.
However, Natalie and Jeremy seemed to have encountered some problems. As an observant elder, Kate knew she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
Jeremy nodded solemnly. He said, “Mom, there’s been a
problem between us. It’s my fault.”
“Your fault?” Kate stared at Jeremy, a sense of unease
creeping into her mind as she vaguely realized something was
wrong.
She knew Natalie well. If it weren’t something serious, Natalie
would never have moved out.
“A while ago, I had an affair with my secretary,” Jeremy
admitted honestly.
Kate’s expression changed as she stood up abruptly. She looked at Jeremy with disbelief. She thought she knew him well. “An affair? Jeremy, you had an affair? Nath only left home after discovering your affair, didn’t she?”
“Yes.”
コ
Kate staggered slightly. She felt dizzy. “Do you not love Nath anymore? How could you be so foolish? You know she has zero tolerance for this. Are you planning to divorce her? Or did you force her to move out?”

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....
