Chapter 883
After a while, they fell asleep nestled in each other’s arms.
Skylar woke up at three in the morning and realized that the lights were still on. She got out of bed and turned the lights off. Then, she got back into bed.
The second did so, Joe dragged her back into his embrace. Perhaps he badly needed companionship on a day like this.
Habits had ingrained themselves in Skylar without her realizing. In the beginning, she’d felt awkward when Joe held her while they were falling asleep. Now, she was knocked out the second he held her.
This was similar to how Skylar sometimes felt like her marriage with Joe could last for the rest of their lives.
“Why don’t you take a tour of my company during the weekends?” Joe sounded highly alert. His voice broke through the heavy midnight silence.
Skylar agreed, “Alright.”
The next morning, they chatted leisurely at breakfast. Skylar mentioned running into Rowan and Jenny at the hospital.
The Jakemans wouldn’t let them be together,” stated Joe.
Skylar didn’t comment further on it.
Clearly, Joe had discovered what was going on between Jenny and Rowan, Rowan would find out what happened between her and Edwin soon.
Harold Zane, the headmaster of Woodman High, visited Simona and Wendy in the hospital. He was accompanied by Tom Black, a teacher.
Simona had never talked about her background at school, so Harold and Tom had no idea she hailed from such a powerful family. Aiken wasn’t someone you wanted to piss off.
A few of the perpetrator’s parents had come to school crying about how they’d lost their jobs.
All of them were performing students. When the teachers checked on them at the detention center, they confirmed that the boys had done so on a whim.
They were teenagers who acted without thinking things through, not knowing the consequences of their actions.
“If I’m not mistaken, my company has been sponsoring many of Woodman High’s projects for the past. decade. Now, it looks like you don’t deserve it. You’re unwilling to make the perpetrators take responsibility for their actions. Rather, you’d make the victims suffer. You’re trying to push me around,” said Aiken calmly.

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....
