Chapter 931
As Rowan was lost in thought, Jenny called.
“Rowan, I ran into Minerva with my friend. She slapped me. I tried to convince her to call off the engagement, but she refused to do so. I’ve suddenly been plagued with the question of whether I’m interfering with your relationship with Minerva. Should I have stayed away from you? The two of you are perfect for each other. I’ll just drag you down,
sobbed Jenny.

She pretended to be the victim of the situation.
Rowan’s suspicion of Jenny had been growing after listening to the recording. However, after hearing her complaints, he felt like Minerva had been bullying her.
In contrast with Minerva, Jenny had nothing. Rowan was her only lifeline.
Since he’d promised Jenny that they would get married, Rowan had thought of various ways to cancel the engagement.
“Don’t face off against Minerva when you encounter her in the future. She’s not the same type of woman as you are, and she won’t listen to whatever you say. If you piss her off without me by your side, you won’t emerge victorious. Understood?” Rowan advised worriedly.
Jenny bit her lip and asked, “She slapped me. Are you going to let it slide?”
Even now, her cheek throbbed.
“In that case, what do you want me to do?” Rowan asked.
After a moment of pause, Jenny said, “When you see her in the future, don’t start a conversation with her. Draw clear boundaries between the two of you. With this, the slap I suffered wouldn’t be for naught.”
Rowan was silent for a moment before agreeing, “Fine.”
Jenny could feel his hesitation. Rowan might not have realized, but Jenny could tell that Rowan wasn’t as unmoved by Minerva as he appeared to be. Perhaps he liked Minerva.
No, that couldn’t happen.
When Skylar returned to Galaxy Villa, Joe was there, as expected. However, Steven was there too.
Skylar was surprised to see him. She asked, “Steven, weren’t you overseas? When did you come back?”
Steven was about to stand up, but Joe beat him to it. He walked over and took Skylar’s shopping bags from her.
At Joe’s subconscious movements, Steven cracked a small smile. This was the first time he’d been to Galaxy Villa and the first time he’d ever seen how Skylar and Joe interacted in private.

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....
