Chapter 68
Joe watched the video.

In the footage, Skylar and the man seemed incredibly at ease with each other, even more so than the
photos suggested.
Frowning, Joe replied, “Seems like you have a lot of free time.”
Reading Joe’s reply, Paul felt his heart sink to his stomach. He had the urge to reply that he wasn’t free at
He realized that Joe probably didn’t like Skylar. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so indifferent.
Suddenly, he felt like he was about to be sent to the frontier. He vowed never to probe Joe again.
But was Skylar also not too concerned about whether Joe had feelings for her?
Joe loosened his tie forcefully, causing one of his shirt buttons to fall to the ground.
He glanced at the fallen button before picking it up. The finely crafted button shimmered under the light in
his palm.
As he fiddled with it, he checked his watch. It was 8:10 pm.
His eyes, already devoid of much emotion, grew even colder.
After leaving the restaurant, Skylar was about to part ways with Steven.
Just as she said goodbye, Steven got straight into her car. “I’ll see you off at your home first, then I’ll head
back to my dorm.”
“It’s almost 8:00 pm. Let me drop you off first, Skylar said as she was about to start her car.
Steven’s expression darkened. He looked at Skylar seriously. “I’ve spent the most time with you since we
were kids. I can tell when something’s bothering you, Skye. Did something happen?”
Today, it was just the two of them. Steven could tell if Skylar had something on her mind.
These days, Skylar seemed to have become a different person. The sadness and loneliness she
emanated suffocated him. It was the kind of suffocation he would feel when he found out that his dear
little sister was bullied behind his back.
Skylar knew Steven was worried about her.
Gripping the steering wheel, she wanted to tell him about her wedding, but then she remembered her covert marriage agreement with Joe.
After a few minutes of hesitation, she said, “I got married.”
“Married?” Steven was shocked.
He knew that Skylar had just broken up with Christopher, so how did she end up marrying someone so quickly?
He wondered what Skylar had been through during this time.

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....
