Chapter 744
How many men had Skylar been with? It started with Joe, then it was Aiken. Now, she was with Rowan?
She watched Rowan suck up to Skylar just like Aiken did. Vera was absolutely disgusted.
Skylar took advantage of her beauty and flitted between several different men. Didn’t she find herself a little too shameless?
Skylar had met Vera twice. Vera looked down on her with disdain every time. What was wrong with her?
“What a coincidence. Have you finished eating?” Rowan was astounded at first. However, he quickly came to.
This was too much of a coincidence, wasn’t it? Why had they run into Vera by merely going to a restaurant?
Vera arrogantly tilted her chin upward. She shot back, “Indeed, what a coincidence. Have you changed girlfriends again?”
Skylar raised a brow coldly.
“Don’t say that. Skylar is just my friend,” explained Rowan immediately.
They could misunderstand the relationship between Rowan and anyone else. After all, he had gotten used to it. However, he wouldn’t let anyone
misunderstand Skylar. It was as though Skylar had a halo above her head. She couldn’t be slandered.
Vera chuckled. She didn’t believe him. She shot back, “A friend?”
By the way her tone rose upward at the end of her question, it was evident that she doubted the truth of Rowan’s words.
“She’s a friend Twould trust with my life, got it?” Rowan pulled a cigarette out and began smoking.
If not for his friendship with Joe, Rowan would’ve given in to the desire to
expose Skylar’s marriage to Joe. Vera had always been an arrogant woman. However, the way she looked down at Skylar made him uncomfortable.

Skylar said calmly, “I’ll go over and order first.”
When Skylar sat down, Vera told Rowan with furrowed brows, “I haven’t seen you for a few years, but you’re still a wild card. I’ll be taking my leave. There’ll be a boat party in two days. I’ll see you then. However, don’t take her with you when you come. I don’t like her much.”
“Do you know about Skylar and Joe’s relationship? Have you seen Skylar before?” Rowan picked up on Vera’s animosity toward Skylar.
Vera’s face turned grim. She stated, “Her relationship with Joe isn’t going to
last.”
She left immediately after.
If Skylar had met Vera before, Skylar’s attitude was a little…
Rowan watched Skylar, who was going through the menu. He put his cigarette back between his teeth. He sent Joe a message.
…
After Vera left the restaurant, she was no longer in the mood to shop with her
friends. Even though she had a concert to attend that night, she didn’t want to go either.
Vera didn’t see Skylar as a threat. However, the thought of Skylar and running
into her still disgusted Vera.
In addition, her reunion with Joe after years of separation two days ago feit
weird, like something was missing.
She couldn’t get a read on Joe, as though there was an uncrossable gauge
between them.
Why would a man like him allow Skylar to be the only woman by his side? Even if he wanted to quench his lust, he shouldn’t have selected a woman like Skylar who flitted between different men.

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....
