Richest Mogul

“Beg you for mercy?” It was as though Vera had heard a hilarious joke. She was the heiress of the Ruell fortune. She was born differently.

In comparison with Skylar, she stood at the top of the pyramid. Skylar could only look up at her in yearning.

When she considered it from that perspective, Vera felt like she was demoting herself by being here. She even got slapped. She would make Skylar pay for her slap. Skylar would regret how cocky and ignorant she’d been.

“You’ll be the one begging me for help,” spat Vera before leaving.

Before Vera got into her car, she looked at Galaxy Villa one last time. She knew an ignorant woman like Skylar would only be a temporary plaything for Joe.

After getting harassed by Vera, Skylar’s mood soured.

It was dark outside. Joe wouldn’t be coming home.

She decided to take a shower. Then, she retired for the night and began reading.

Getting sad over a man and his first love wouldn’t be worth it.

Joe was on the way back to Avalon Residence. He and Lucas were the only ones in the car.

Gloria called. She asked, “When are you getting home?”

Joe looked out the window and replied, “I’ll be arriving soon.”

“Alright. I don’t think they mean well calling you back there. Garth is healthier than a 40–year–old. Why would he fall sick all of a sudden? Why would he stay home instead of going to the hospital? They’re just looking for an excuse to make you go back. Be careful,” Gloria reminded. She was extremely concerned. Ever since her husband died, the Martins plotted against Joe.

Joe said, “Don’t worry, Grandma.”

He wasn’t a naïve kid with unrealistic expectations of his family anymore. Their schemes would be rendered useless to him.

Gloria responded, “You little punk. This call of mine was unnecessary. There are not many people who can trap you now. Right, the helpers who’ve been cleaning Galaxy Villa told me that you and Skylar haven’t come home for the past few days. What’s going on?”

Joe understood. This question was the main purpose of Gloria’s call.

He looked back down and said, “Janine accidentally broke her leg. Skylar has been taking care of her at home. Sometimes, I visit her and stay a few nights.”

He didn’t give full disclosure. Joe had been staying somewhere else.

“That explains things. I haven’t seen Janine before. I’ll ask her to meet after she recovers. The two of you got married just like that. It’s a little unacceptable for the two of you to have done so without a wedding. I’ll talk to her. Then, we’ll plan your wedding,” Gloria said.

“As to the wedding… we’re not in a hurry. We’ll talk about it in the future,” Joe said lowly.

Gloria raised her voice and said, “What do you mean you’re not in a hurry? Of course you aren’t in a hurry. You’re a man. How about Skylar? What woman wouldn’t like to have a wedding? Only at a wedding will the people in Jipsburg get to know her, and be aware that she’s your wife. Alright. I’ll arrange for this.”

Joe’s eyes darkened. He believed that Skylar had fallen for Aiken. He was a charismatic man. There were rumors that Aiken had a new hobby of collecting antiques. He’d even bought a series of books about it.

Joe pursed his lips. How invested.

Gloria huffed.

Upon hearing this, Edgar knew that she’d gotten angry.
