Chapter 936
They described Skylar as embarrassing, disobedient, and
unacceptable. The words stabbed into her heart like arrows. She frowned.
Joe suddenly took her hand.
“My wife is incomparable,” Joe defended her firmly.
Spencer’s expression darkened. He challenged, “Is she really? Could she hold a flame to Vera? Joe, you’re too impulsive.”
Ernest simpered, “Fine, let’s all take a step back.”
He stared at Joe and continued, “We don’t give a damn who you married. You’ll know who truly wants the best for you in the future. Commenting on that now will only serve to annoy you. The most pressing issue is what Derek and Edwin are going through now. With one call, you can get them out of prison.”
“I’ll help you make the call,” said Claudio. He approached Joe with a phone.
“Whoever calls them now, I’ll give you a taste of how it feels to get stabbed eight times,” Joe warned coldly.
His words elicited goosebumps over everyone, especially with the way his voice echoed in the dead of the night.
Skylar felt that Joe’s hands were rather icy. She grasped his hands.
Spencer glanced at Ernest, whose face had paled from anger. He scolded, “Ernest has come personally to plead for their mercy. Aren’t you going to show him any deference? Do you have to be so extreme?
“I’m getting old. My orders are no longer effective. Why don’t I have a
good discussion with Gloria? She definitely wouldn’t be so obstinate on this issue. After all, her son is also one of the detainees,” Ernest said stoically.
At the end of the day, men his age still won out in experience. Within a few minutes of conversation, he took advantage of Joe’s
vulnerabilities.
Everyone in the Martin family knew of Joe’s weakness,
They’d prepared themselves for this on the way here. After all, Joe had always been ruthless since a young age. He was extremely harsh and didn’t give a damn about any of his relatives.
Skylar’s face fell. How audacious of them to inform Gloria about this!
If Gloria had learned about Joe’s injuries, she would have been extremely concerned. She wouldn’t be able to handle sudden frights and such heart–racing news. She’d only recovered recently.
“Why are you looking for me? Did you think I’d let anyone bully my grandson? You guys weren’t the ones getting stabbed. You’re just making statements without feeling the true impact of your words.”
The closed–door slammed open, and Gloria stormed in. Her eyes were slightly red, and her pupils contracted when she saw Joe lying in bed, looking extremely pale.
She turned to Joe with a murderous glare. “My grandson is littered with stab wounds now because of your son and grandson. They should be imprisoned to atone for their crimes!”
Ernest’s children would’ve bankrupted the company if Joe hadn’t supported the Martin Group for the past few years. What ungrateful bastards.

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....
