My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

Joe walked over to sit on the couch. He crossed his legs, which were enveloped in his trousers, before looking at Skylar again.

Skylar could tell something was amiss, judging by his behavior. She wondered if it was related to what had happened at Jubilance Hotel earlier.

As she went to sit opposite Joe, she couldn’t help but think that what had happened earlier had nothing to

do with him.

Could it be because he feared others would know about their secret marriage?

That wouldn’t make sense either, because they had already signed an agreement. Not to mention, Skylar hadn’t said a word to him today.

So, why did he seem so upset? All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She was still pondering the reason when she noticed the agreement on the coffee table in front of her. Confusion filled her mind when she saw the title “covert marriage agreement” on it.

Wasn’t that the agreement they had signed when they had registered their marriage?

Joe noticed the confusion on Skylar’s face, so he spoke up. “You still remember the terms of this agreement, don’t you?”

Although Skylar didn’t quite understand what he was getting at, she still nodded.

She had briefly scanned the agreement when signing it. There hadn’t been any unreasonable terms. They only had to keep the marriage a secret, and the marriage had an expiration date.

“Please cut to the chase, Mr. Martin,” she said.

Joe held a cigarette between two fingers. Smoke billowed around him, making it difficult for one to read his expression.

He scoffed upon seeing Skylar behaving confidently, like she didn’t know what she had done wrong.

“Spit it out. What did you and your boyfriend discuss? What do you guys plan to get from me?

“For Grandma’s sake, I’ll give you what I can now. Then, we’ll file for a divorce at the courthouse, and you’d better not show up in front of Grandma again.”

Skylar frowned, finally understanding why he was so angry. “I’d already broken up with Christopher long. ago, and I never planned to get anything from you.

“Grandma has always been nice to me. The only reason I married you was to repay her kindness. You can relax because that’s the only reason I’m here.”

“You’ve broken up, huh?” As Joe listened to Skylar’s pathetic lies, he switched on his phone and tossed it

to her.

His screen showed a picture of a young couple hugging outside the hotel.

The picture made it seem like Christopher loved the woman dearly because he was hugging her so tightly. He acted like a possessive man, staking his claim over her.

However, Skylar only felt sick and wanted to vomit when she saw the photo. The feeling of being hugged by Christopher disgusted her.

With pursed lips, she calmed the disgust churning in her and said in a stiff, cold tone, “Yeah, we broke up.”

“If that’s the case, why are you still hugging like you’re reluctant to let each other go?” Joe’s pointed gaze focused on Skylar. It was crystal clear that he didn’t trust her.

“If you look carefully, Mr. Martin, you’ll notice he was forcing the hug on me. Whoever snapped this photo would’ve seen me push him away if they had waited a few more minutes.

“I remember the terms of our agreement clearly. I won’t get involved with any man within our three years: of marriage.

“However, I’m happy to agree to terminate the agreement if you’re trying to slander me with this photo.”

Skylar voiced the thoughts weighing on her chest in one go.

She felt much better after doing so. Yet, she also felt Joe’s suspicions were valid. She watched as Joe’s expression turned frosty in seconds.

Skylar took out her phone and found the picture she had taken at the car dealership the other day.

“Christopher and Maisy have been secretly seeing each other since long ago. Let’s not bother discussing

how I no longer love Christopher. This picture alone makes it impossible for me to be in any relationship

with him anymore.”

Joe only took one look at the picture before retracting his gaze. Still, that wouldn’t change his decision.

He believed Christopher and Skylar’s complicated relationship would only be messy. It was best to end things now to prevent any troubles from revealing themselves to Gloria.

So, he said, “That doesn’t explain anything.”

Seeing his decisiveness, Skylar decided not to explain herself anymore. She had already stated what was

necessary.

With a nod, she responded, “I won’t object since you’re determined to end the agreement.”

Her speedy compliance changed Joe’s impression of her slightly.
