My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

Paul clicked his tongue. "So it's that bad?"

A negative item could be passed down for generations and still allow an entire family to live so well. At that point, Paul wondered if it was still considered a negative time.

"You mentioned the dreams you've had been coming true. What kind of dreams are they?" Paul asked directly.

At the question, Elsie's long eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes started to fill with tears. She was clearly on the verge of tears, looking as if she had been deeply wronged.

Paul, once known for his charm with women, had grown indifferent after his experiences in Murida a few years ago. After that, he became somewhat sensitive to tears and fragility.

He used to be the kind of man who would pity the delicate, but now, nothing could stir his emotions. He twitched his mouth slightly and added, "If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

"Once the plane lands, tell my wife about the situation," Joe said coldly.

After speaking, he closed his eyes again.

Elsie hadn't expected Joe to be so indifferent. He just glanced at her once and simply told her to inform Skylar. She had wanted to speak to him directly, not Skylar.

She found the information online about negative items too fantastical. She didn't believe that such a negative item was real.

Most of it seemed like deliberate sensationalism. Otherwise, Skylar wouldn't have been able to make so much money or build such a powerful image. Elsie didn't believe it. But this was the only excuse she could come up with to approach Joe.

"Okay." She reluctantly agreed, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks.

Afraid that Joe would think she was being overly dramatic, she quickly turned her head away. Flustered, she hurriedly returned to her seat.

Paul blinked. "Did I say something wrong? Why is she crying all of a sudden? Could it be because I asked her what dream she had, and it's related to that dream?"

This piqued his curiosity. He wondered what kind of dream could be so terrifying that it made someone cry even before they spoke about it.

Moreover, the emerald pendant had

never caused any trouble in the

hands of her grandmother or mother, but now it was causing problems for her-that was suspicious. Over the years, he had gained some knowledge about

negative items.

But he had never heard of a situation like this before.

Joe glanced at Paul. "Every time you talk to her, you get chatty and start thinking too much."

Paul's lips twitched. He quickly explained, "I didn't! I'm not interested in those matters between men and women anymore. My mom's always pushing me to go on blind dates, but every time I meet those women, they're scared just by looking at my face. They're all so superficial!

"There are few women who aren't superficial. I'm better off alone. And this Elsie, she's clearly after you, Mr Martin. The only thing I'm curious about is the emerald pendant in her hand I really want to know if it's as troublesome as she says.

The scars on his face could be treated with cosmetic surgery if he wanted to. But he didn't see the need. Those scars were a reminder of his hellish past, a lesson that had helped him build a stronger mind.

He wouldn't fall apart again, no matter what happened. He had to be tougher and stronger so that his mind wouldn't break down mentally if something happened again.

The clearer he got over the last couple of years, the more he remembered those experiences of being lost in madness, unable to distinguish reality from nightmares.

It was too painful to recall. Joe didn't respond.

Whether there was a problem would be something Skylar could figure out. Even if it was a negative item, it wouldn't escape her eyes.

Skylar arrived early at the airport, taking two hours off work.

It had been raining earlier that morning, but the rain had stopped by the time she was on her way. The stagnant water on the road had already cleared up, and the drive to the airport was smooth without any hindrances.

While waiting, she sent Joe a message on WhatsApp to let him know she had arrived. Soon, she received a call from Joe.
