Chapter 993
Natalie pressed her lips together with a sense of helplessness and nodded. “Okay.” Before leaving, Jeremy said to Skylar again, “Thank you for taking care of Natalie.”
Skylar just watched him, feeling a bit strange seeing how he acted as if he and Natalle hadn’t divorced.
After Jeremy left, she turned to look at Natalie.
But, before she could say anything, Natalie quickly said, “We were clear about everything when we divorced. But lately, he’ll act like we haven’t separated whenever we run into each other. No matter how much I tell him, he just keeps behaving this way.”
“He probably regrets divorcing you,” Skylar remarked, feeling ly emotional.
It was obvious that Jeremy loved Natalie. The infidelity was likely due to external influences, perhaps some kind of bad influence or something. It seemed like fate was playing a cruel joke on him.
Natalie’s eyes dimmed. Then, she got out of bed and sat back at the table, finishing her chicken soup.
After taking a few sips, she said, “It’s impossible for us to be together again. You know, I’ve seen the video of him with Annabelle. I can’t forget it. I know I’m being selfish by wanting to run away. But recently, I realized that I’ve let go of my feelings for him.”
Perhaps knowing they were never meant to be in this lifetime made it easier to let go of such deep emotions. Thinking about it now, Natalie suddenly felt quite cold–hearted.
After leaving, Jeremy went to see Austin.
They looked at each other until Austin broke the silence. “Mr. Hughes, if you have something to say, just say it.”
“Do you like Natalie?” Jeremy asked bluntly.
Austin smiled and said, “Yes, I do.”
Jeremy’s expression darkened. “You should find someone else. Natalie is my wife.”
“Ex–wife,” Austin corrected him before adding, “Mr. Hughes, you should show some restraint. Natalie isn’t someone you can be trifled with, and what you’re doing now is more likely to hurt her.”
Jeremy’s expression changed drastically, and his gaze grew intense and oppressive as he stared at
Austin,
Meanwhile, Austin wasn’t bothered by Jeremy’s intimidating presence and continued. “She seems to have feelings for me recently. You should know when to stop and not become the third party between us.”
“Austin Powell! Do you know who you’re talking to? Do you know who I am? I could destroy everything you’ve worked for in the entertainment industry over the past decade easily!” Jeremy shouted in anger.
But Austin remained calm. “Why else do you think I’ve come this far other than because of my talent and hard work? Do you think you can really suppress me? You can’t destroy me.”
Natalie still felt unwell, so she went to bed early in the evening.
Skylar didn’t feel sleepy, so she turned on a small lamp and read an e–book. She also handled some work Janine had sent her.
“Skye, someone sent this picture of a ring asking us to verify if it’s real and if it has any special meaning. The order came a few days ago, but I just got to it,” Janine had messaged.
Skylar had handed over the complete management of the store to her adoptive mother, Janine.

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....
