Chapter 608
An hour later, Natalie’s ears were ringing. The harsh truth lay bare before her–a truth she had never imagined -Annabelle had orchestrated a scheme against Jeremy. If not for Skylar’s similar, bizarre stories, she might not have believed it.
Overwhelmed, she felt dazed. Her mind raced, unable to focus or calm down.
Jeremy remained silent, intently watching her shifting expressions.
“So, Jeremy, you want me to know you’re the victim, right? Yes, you are indeed the victim,” Natalie said, rising to her feet.
Because he was the victim, her heart ached even more deeply
than before.
Jeremy’s gaze remained fixed on Natalie, noting her inner turmoil. His eyes lingered on her tightly clenched fists. He would never want to see her struggle like this if he could.
“I’m sorry, Nath,” Jeremy apologized. His voice was hoarse.
That apology only deepened Natalie’s anguish. It felt as though her breath was being squeezed out of her, her throat burning as if scorched.
“I need time to digest this,” Natalie said. She needed to escape because she couldn’t breathe there.
This time, Jeremy didn’t stop her from leaving.
As Natalie stumbled away, Jeremy’s heart felt like it was being torn apart.
He glanced at the items on the table. They were filthy, utterly repulsive. Picking up his phone, he made a call. “Has
Annabelle’s stepfather arrived?”
The voice on the other end responded, “He arrived in Jipsburg City this morning.”
“Hand Annabelle over to him,” Jeremy instructed coldly.
“Yes, Mr. Hughes.”
Natalie fled Hughes Residence and found a cab.
As if sensing Natalie’s distress, Kate called her.
“Nath, I’ve heard about everything that’s happened,” Kate said gently, her tone filled with concern for Natalie.
Both Natalie and Jeremy were suffering deeply. One was forced into a mistake, the other into enduring betrayal.
Seeing this situation made her heart ache. On the way home, Kate’s heart felt tightly clenched.
Natalie burst into tears.
“Nath, I know you’re hurting right now. Jeremy didn’t explain everything before because he feared this exact reaction, but he is suffering too,” Kate said gently. She understood how harsh this sounded, but the situation was incredibly tough.
Natalie stifled her sobs. She stared at the darkening sky

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....
