My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



The harm inflicted on Skylar by both the Williams family and Christopher was unimaginable.

Joe, knowing Skylar deeply, understood the anguish she must have endured after having her heart trampled by those she once trusted. She had even saved her biological mother in exchange for her legs, only to face betrayal and cruelty in return.

Yet, life had given her a second chance. And because of that, he had the fortune to marry her.

After a moment of silence, Skylar shared some details about Joe's past.

"So, in the beginning, you agreed to marry me just to repay Grandma?" Joe asked.

"At first, yes," Skylar admitted, recalling the time they obtained their marriage certificate. Back then, doubt and suspicion had clouded his view of her. Their marriage had been riddled with misunderstandings, leading to a series of humorous mishaps along the way.

Joe continued, "Before meeting you, some fortune tellers-including Grandma Viola-claimed I'd never have a relationship in this lifetime. So, the only reason I'm in a relationship now is because of you. As for what Elsie said, I never believed her."

Even if Skylar hadn't come into his life, Elsie would never have been his choice-she was never his type.

Meanwhile, back at her family home, Elsie brushed past her family without a word, heading straight to her room as though she hadn't heard them.

Once inside, she locked the door, refusing to let anyone in.

Though her family didn't know the specifics, they sensed she had been grappling with something serious. They exchanged concerned glances but chose to respect her silence, giving her space.

Elsie went straight to her bed after locking the door.

After a moment of dazed silence, she frantically yanked a bracelet off her wrist.noveldrama

The bracelet was delicate, featuring a vial-shaped emerald set in gold with pearls strung along its chain. It was of a traditional, ancient style.

In recent days, the more she admired the bracelet, the more she grew attached to it. Something so beautiful couldn't possibly harbor negative energy or so she thought.

She hadn't expected Skylar to conceal her true intentions so masterfully. Skylar had spoken at length, yet Elsie hadn't detected even a flicker of emotion from her.

The bracelet's supposed influence gnawed at her thoughts. Could it have tricked her into seeing that mesmerizing dream?

But that person had assured her there would be no deceit. They claimed Skylar was reborn, someone who had altered not only her own fate but also the fates of others-including Elsie's.

Reflecting on her recent struggles,

Elsie realized something chilling. Skylar, with her shrewdness and

layered strategies, was far bey

her ability to confront. Though, Skylar appeared indifferent, she was far more calculating than anyone imagined.

Determined, Elsie grabbed her phone and scanned her call history. She needed to contact Paul. She had to meet Joe.

sharp memory for numbers and instantly recognized who it was. Moreover, it was a number he had dialed earlier that day.

After a brief contemplation, he decided to answer the call. "Ms. Shepard, what can I do for you?"
