Chapter 874
Joe cast a cold glance at Keith.
Keith’s fist, which had been raised, suddenly froze.
With just one look, he could tell that this man was not someone to be trifled with. He wasn’t someone Keith could easily handle.
“You…” Keith stammered.
Both Jimmy and Valencia were the type to bully those they perceived as weak and were afraid of those stronger than themselves.
Especially after Jimmy had been kicked, his face turned pale with fear, and Valencia opened her mouth as if to say something but then hesitated and remained silent.
“Do you know who you were about to hit?” Joe asked.
Jimmy, Valencia, and Keith were at a loss for words. Despite their usual bravado with neighbors, facing Joe made them feel as though their mouths were sealed. They couldn’t bring themselves to speak.
They had initially thought the two girls were easy to intimidate, believing they could handle the situation as they pleased. But now…
Witnessing Wendy’s family’s pitiful state, Simona felt even more sympathy for Wendy.
The two of them had already been through an incredibly tough day, and now Wendy had to deal with her family’s abuse as well.
It was clear just how heartbroken she must be right now.
“You were about to hit my wife,” Joe said coldly.
When Skylar heard the term “wife” and saw him standing protectively in front of her, her heart skipped a beat. It suddenly reminded her of his earlier words about not getting a divorce.
“We didn’t hit anyone… We didn’t get the chance to.” Jimmy quickly distanced himself from the incident.
He was relieved they hadn’t actually hit anyone.
Valencia’s eyes flickered as she said, “It’s all a misunderstanding. We’re not the kind of people who hit others.”
“We’re victims‘ family, and we’re just emotional right now. You came to cause trouble for us.” Keith quickly defended.

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....
