My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 811

After taking a shower, Skylar felt a bit dizzy and unintentionally fell asleep.

When she woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, she confirmed that Joe had not returned.

There was a message from him on her phone. He was on a business trip again.

He was going abroad this time and wouldn't return until a week later.

He kept his message brief on WhatsApp. He mentioned that a project abroad had encountered problems, requiring his personal attention and causing him to leave in a hurry.

Seeing the message, Skylar felt he was explaining his travel plans to her. It gave her a sense of a husband informing his wife before leaving.

It was a small, ordinary gesture.

Skylar found herself unable to sleep, contemplating this late into the night. She checked the time and realized it was already 3:00 am. The message had been sent at 6:00 pm.

She hadn't looked at her phone after dinner with colleagues. When she called for a designated driver, she also didn't notice the messages on WhatsApp. There were even missed calls.

She couldn't help but wonder if Joe's gesture showed that he cared about her.

Skylar's heart fluttered. Realizing she was overthinking in the middle of the night, she got out of bed and went to pour herself a glass of water.

Her thoughts then turned to Jenny. She decided to wait until Joe returned to discuss it.

…

When Joe's plane landed, he turned on his phone and saw Skylar's response.

"Alright, have a safe trip. I'll wait for your return."

"Wait for my return?" Joe thought. His lips curled into a slight smile.

Paul, standing nearby, noticed Joe's sudden smile and found it odd. It was past 3:00 am in Jipsburg City. Just a few hours ago, when Joe boarded the plane, he had been cold and distant.

Now, his mood seemed to have improved significantly.

Skylar glanced over at the news article on Caleb's phone.

This time, a fire broke out at Ruell Residence. The blaze was intense, and several fire trucks were dispatched. In the end, the large villa was almost completely reduced to a skeleton.

Vera's condition was not severe. It seemed she only injured her lungs from smoke inhalation and was currently receiving treatment at the hospital.

Penelope was burned by falling embers, with a significant burn area. However, for the Ruell family, arranging follow-up care and treatment at a hospital should not be a major issue.

Unfortunately, Buck was in a worse condition. He had been trapped under debris and suffered severe burns. Additionally, he inhaled thick smoke, which left him in a coma.

He had been in emergency treatment since arriving at the hospital.

The Ruell family had been hit by a series of unfortunate events lately. Reporters speculated whether this string of incidents was more than just a coincidence.

Although it was only speculation, most people concluded that such occurrences were unlikely to be mere coincidences. They were more likely the result of human actions or perhaps some form of retribution.
