Chapter 904
Jenny and Rowan were kissing so passionately that they didn’t even notice Skylar and Joe.
Realizing what she was witnessing, Skylar quickly averted her gaze.
By chance, she noticed Minerva sitting in a nearby car, watching the scene unfold. Although Skylar hadn’t seen Minerva’s face earlier in the restaurant, her intuition told her that the woman in the vehicle was Minerva.
Minerva just watched the scene coldly. Then, she started the car and drove away.
Skylar looked away and said to Joe, “Let’s go too.”
“Okay.”
As they drove away, Rowan and Jenny were still locked in a passionate kiss, completely absorbed in each other.
Across the street, Christopher watched as Skylar and Joe drove away.
After getting a call from Vera, he rushed to the mall and followed them to this place.
This Wiscadian restaurant was notoriously expensive, and reservations had to be made days in advance. Joe really knew how to win over a woman’s heart.
Step by step, Joe had managed to win Skylar over–lavish gifts, the image of a bossy CEO–exactly what women dream of.
Vera had mentioned that Skylar had quite the skills now. She just made 20 million dollars off their family
20 million dollars…
Christopher narrowed his eyes. He never knew making money could be so easy. All the money he had made through underhanded means was almost completely lost recently, and he couldn’t bear the thought of living in poverty again.
Skylar should have been him from the start, ever since high school. He had to get her back. Of course, all the money she made would naturally belong to him too.
“Skylar, I’m the only one who truly cares for you. Joe is just playing with you. He and Vera are the same type of people.”
Christopher’s eyes gleamed with determination. He was set on reclaiming everything that had been lost a year ago. With the Ruell family’s backing this time, he wouldn’t have to worry about Joe’s threats.
On their way back, Skylar and Joe decided to stop by Pearlhall Residence. Gloria had invited George and Alexander over for the day.
When Alexander saw Skylar, he started praising her to Gloria. “Skye is the most talented person I’ve met in years. It’s no wonder Viola picked her–she’s exceptional in every way.
“Her restoration skills even surpass mine. I’m so envious that you have her as your granddaughter–in–law.” “On that note, I’m envious as well,” George added with a warm smile. The two of them looked at Skylar with admiration, as if seeing a young version of Viola.
Viola had been a shining star in her youth, a person whose brilliance dimmed everyone else’s. They all

seemed to fade into insignificant in her presence.

Many admired her, but no one dared to confess their feelings because she had once declared she would never marry. She believed marriage would only harm her partner, so she chose to remain unattached for everyone’s sake.
They had grown old in the blink of an eye, but the scenes from their youth felt as if they had happened just yesterday.

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....
