is coming over. He’ll take care of Mr. Powell. We can take our leave
Matabe put on her seat belt as she spoke
Skylar started the car and drove off
Natalie’s chatter started up once more once they reached the highway She said, “Mr. Powell won’t be busy in the upcoming days. rl be able to take a break. You can contact me if Janine needs anything. After all, you might be busy.”
Skylar thanked her with a smile. She sent Natalie to her destination soon after.
None of them mentioned seeing Joe and Jeremy at the restaurant.
Natalie didn’t go home right after getting out of Skylar’s car. Instead, she bought two yogurt drinks at the convenience store outside her
neighborhood. After sipping them, she walked home.
A gentle breeze caressed her. Natalie’s grim mood improved greatly.
Not before long, she arrived home.
Just as she opened the door, someone grabbed her arm. Then, Natalie was pressed onto the icy wall. The cold seeped into her bones. She was about to scream. However, when she saw that Jeremy was her aggressor, she stopped herself from doing so.
“Jeremy, you…”
Jeremy had drunk some wine. Natalie could smell the alcohol lingering on him. He glared at her dangerously.
Natalie had never seen him like that. She began to panic.
“You divorced me not long ago. Have you gotten together with Austin already?”
“What?”
How could she get together with Austin? She was nothing more than his employee.
Jeremy pinched Natalie’s chin and continued questioning her, “Have you slept with him?”
They had known each other for years. Jeremy understood her like the
back of his hand.
Natalie never used perfume. However, a light scent wafted off her. It was the smell of men’s cologne.
She widened her eyes and screamed, “That’s bullshit!”
Natalie tried pushing him away. Unfortunately, she failed. He was too heavy.
In the past, she would’ve been thrilled to have him close to her. Now, whenever he approached her, the only thing on her mind was how to
escape.
“Prove to me you didn’t sleep with him.”
Jeremy’s muscles tensed as he suddenly picked Natalie up and brought her into her apartment.
He slammed the door behind them.
This terrified Natalie. She shrieked, “Jeremy, you’re drunk! Let me go! Don’t you remember that we’ve gotten divorced? We’re not married anymore. You can’t barge into my house like that!”
She had never seen Jeremy behaving in this way,
“Jeremy!”

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....
