My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Rosa paused, but Gloria's face remained a mask of indifference, leaving Rosa unsure of her thoughts.

An unsettling sensation crept over Rosa, making her feel as though her innermost thoughts were laid bare before Gloria.

However, that feeling of anxiety didn't last long. Rosa soon reassured herself that even if her thoughts were apparent, it didn't matter. She was merely protecting her interests.

"I've looked into this online, and I was shocked to find how similar they look. But that doesn't mean Ned and Joe have any connection. I would like to ask you to talk to Ms. Sullivan. She has been pursuing my fiancé multiple times, and it's becoming quite distressing for me. Her actions infringe upon my rights.

"Ned and I are about to get married, and I really don't want Ms. Sullivan to interfere anymore. I understand your feelings about Joe's passing. It's indeed tragic. But just because two people look alike doesn't mean they are the same."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

After speaking, Rosa studied Gloria, but the older woman remained stone-faced, revealing nothing. There was no sign of emotion, no clue as to what she was thinking.

It was similar to how Joe presented himself-enigmatic and unreadable. Just being silent gave him an air of mystery, as if he could see right through Rosa's thoughts and feelings.

In this tense atmosphere, Rosa felt as though she was merely talking to herself. She tried to restrain her urge to speak further but couldn't hold back. "Please, Mrs. Martin Senior, consider how difficult this is for me. I need your help. I don't want Skylar to continue pursuing my fiancé.

"If this persists, I may have no choice but to report her for harassment. That would only make things worse for everyone, and I would hate for that to reflect poorly on you."

Having spoken so clearly, Rosa was sure Gloria understood her intentions. Yet, the silence that followed made her heart race.

It felt as if her thoughts were completely laid bare before Gloria.

"Are you feeling guilty?" Gloria suddenly asked.

Rosa froze for a moment, then raised an eyebrow in disbelief. She stood up abruptly. "What do I have to feel guilty about? Are you really going to defend Skylar?

"She keeps going after my fiancé day in and day out. You should keep an eye on her. She's the one who should feel guilty here, not me. She has no business obsessing over someone else's fiancé."

"Joe is Ned. If you don't want to end up with nothing, it's time to face the truth. I can promise you a life free from financial worries," Gloria said calmly, her voice steady.

Rosa stared in disbelief, feeling an overwhelming sense of guilt wash over her. She couldn't bring herself to meet Gloria's piercing gaze, instinctively avoiding her eyes.

"I'll say this again. You've got it all wrong. He is Ned, and he can only be Ned. He's not your grandson and has nothing to do with you. I came to talk to you and Ms. Sullivan today to reason with you politely.

"It seems you don't believe me. I understand how deeply you feel about the loss of your grandson, and I empathize with you. But that doesn't give you the right to transfer your pain onto me. I'm completely innocent in this matter."

Standing nearby, Veronica could no longer stay silent. She had seen enough of this kind of manipulative behavior on television and read about it in countless novels.

Veronica quickly spoke up. "Why do I

get the feeling that you're saying you're not guilty but actually are? You know exactly who your fiance is. You keep insisting Ned isn't Joe, but isn't that just because you know he is? Nobody goes out of their way like this without a reason.

"You're only here to convince Mrs. Martin Senior because you know the truth yourself. If you hadn't come, we might still have our doubts. But now, it seems there's no reason for that anymore."

Veronica didn't do much around the house. She spent her free time reading with Gloria and catching up on shows, so she knew a thing or two.

one bit. Gloria felt a twinge of amusement as she listened to Veronica. Her mood had soured initially after seeing Rosa, but now she couldn't help but chuckle.

Indeed, Rosa's visit was just to deliver the truth.
