Chapter 902

Vera then saw Skylar get into the car.
To Vera’s surprise, Joe took the shopping bags from Skylar’s hands. His gestures were both gentlemanly and attentive, something Vera noticed even from a distance.
It was clear from his actions that he cared for Skylar. They appeared to be chatting, and Joe even seemed to be smiling. It was a rare to see him smile.
Given his upbringing and position, he usually maintained a cold demeanor that kept people at arm’s length.
Only when he was with his close friends, like Rowan, did he show a slightly softer side.
At that moment, Vera’s pride took a hit. Her face turned pale.
Patricia had warned her that she might not have a chance with Joe anymore, and it was all because of Skylar. She was the one factor that could change everything.
But Joe still hadn’t made their marriage public and kept delaying the wedding. It showed he wasn’t truly content with Skylar. To him, this union was merely a concession.
A marriage of convenience couldn’t possibly be right for him. Vera believed that she was the one who was truly suited for him.
After a few deep breaths, Vera regained her usual pride and composure. At that moment, Molly called her.
“Ms. Ruell, have you made up your mind?” Molly asked.
Vera hesitated for a moment but then recalled the scene she had just witnessed. “How confident are you? I don’t take on anything without absolute certainty.”
“I’m completely confident. Skylar could marry Joe because she knows how to use the negative items to her advantage. If you don’t take action, you’ll never measure up to her,” Molly remarked.
Molly had mentioned this before, but Vera hadn’t believed her. Despite her dislike for Skylar, she hadn’t thought Skylar would resort to such ruthless methods.
However, Vera hesitated after what she had just seen. Perhaps Skylar had indeed used some
underhanded methods.
“I’ll trust you this once.”
She decided to explore all options.
Besides, Christopher was already making preparations.
Fortunately, Joe had made a reservation in advance at the Wiscadian restaurant. Otherwise, the
restaurant would have been fully booked due to its popularity.
Once seated, Joe ordered dishes based on their preferences.

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....
