make any man’s heart flutter. No wonder Joe was so invested
Skylar’s expression remained calm and indifferent as she replied, “I am.”
Joe took her hand firmly in his. He wrapped it entirely in his grasp and said, “She’s my wife.”
His firm

It was clear that he took great pride in her being his wife. This declaration also gave him the confidence and strength to invest his heart fully.
Watching from the sidelines, Edgar felt warmth spread through his chest. He thought to himself that Gloria could finally rest easy–Joe truly cared for Skylar
It was evident that Joe was standing up for Skylar before Edwin. It was something he had never done so earnestly before.
Edwin’s face darkened with anger. He thought Joe was merely an ungrateful son.
“You two only have a marriage certificate. Many people in Jipsburg City still don’t know about your relationship,” he said coldly.
Molly, who had yet to leave, subtly furrowed her brow at the scene.
Joe’s concern for Skylar was more pronounced than she had anticipated. There was a softness in Joe’s eyes when he looked at Skylar, perhaps even a tenderness he himself was unaware of.
“I’m preparing for the wedding. You’ll be notified to attend when it’s time. For now, we should focus on Grandma’s condition. If anything happens to her, you will be held accountable,” Joe said coldly.
Edwin’s anger was palpable. “Do you even realize what you’re saying?” he demanded.
The elderly had less resilience as they aged, so it was normal for them to suddenly feel unwell while on the phone. Yet Joe dared to blame him for it.
“There’s too much going on with the Martin family right now. You’d better postpone the wedding,” Edwin added sharply.
Skylar felt Edwin’s hostility acutely this time. Regardless of Joe’s earlier words, the wedding would have failed to take place.
Aside from Gloria, the rest of the Martin family would not tolerate Skylar staying with Joe.
Skylar had a rebellious streak and felt even more determined to stay with Joe under these
circumstances. She wanted the Martin family, who failed to care for Joe, to see them living harmoniously together.
Joe’s lips curled into a cold smile. “The Martin family has a lot going on lately. What does that have to do with me?”
He was determined to do what he wanted, and no one could stop him.
“The wedding must go on. I’ll not let my wife be wronged in any way,” Joe declared. His voice grew firmer with each word. His tone clearly indicated a fierce disagreement between him and his father.
Skylar kept her head down. She appeared obedient and silent. Yet, a ripple of doubt stirred within her. She wondered if Joe’s constant reference to her as his wife was merely a way to provoke Edwin.

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....
