Chapter 782
The person by the door froze. He wasn’t expecting anyone to be at home.
Skylar took a step backward. She wanted to go back into the kitchen to grab a knife.
The news had reported plenty of cases of homicide and robbery recently. Had Galaxy Villa become a target?
The police were in the midst of their investigation. Was this murderer downright fearless?
Skylar could hear her heart pounding. She wasn’t scared to get in a fight. However, she was terrified of murderers.
“It’s me.”
It was Joe’s voice. Skylar froze. Joe?
That explained why the long limbs she’d caught a glimpse of in the moonlight looked familiar. She found
it understandable why the murderer hadn’t been apprehended. His legs were too long. He must’ve been a formidable sprinter.
“It’s you,” Skylar sighed.
Joe was walking toward her already.
She planned to go back upstairs directly after drinking some water, so Skylar didn’t turn the lights on. When Joe walked over, she saw only his silhouette–she couldn’t see his expression.
“Who else would it be?” asked Joe.
He’d gone to Janine’s house. Charles let him in. Only then did Joe know that Skylar wasn’t there.
When he was about to head home, Garth asked him to go to Avalon House.
Then, he drove home in the middle of the night.
Joe had thought she’d be asleep. However, she had come downstairs to drink water.
Skylar answered honestly, “I thought you were the murderer wanted by the police.”
“A murderer?” Joe laughed. He didn’t look like a murderer, did he?
“Yeah, the news reported a robbery and homicide. It also happened in a mansion. The mother and her three children all died. Her husband narrowly escaped. He’d been on a business trip. The murderer is still
on the run.”
“Galaxy Villa is equipped with an advanced security system. If someone wanted to rob you, they’d have to be invulnerable. Don’t you worry.”
Skylar nodded and asked, “Would you like some water?”
She hadn’t checked the time after waking up. Skylar had no idea what time it was.
Joe hummed in response, so Skylar poured him a glass and handed it to him.
They saw no issue in conversing with, the lights off.
Joe downed his glass of water and said, “Let’s go upstairs and back to sleep.”
“Alright.”

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....
