Richest Mogul

What was she wearing? 

The two thin straps on her shoulder looked like they could be snapped easily. 

When Skylar got closer to Joe, she realized that he was scowling. Was he unhappy that her dress was embarrassing him? 

She thought the stylist had chosen well and that her make–up had been well done. She liked her look today very much. 

“Do I look bad?” Skylar asked. 

Joe’s eyes were dark as he frowned slightly, showing his displeasure. “There are a lot of high–society people in today’s auction. You will attract some attention dressed like that.” 

“If I can really do that, in addition to my beauty, I need to thank your stylist. The dress and makeup he provided were top–notch.” Skylar could hear the ridicule in Joe’s tone. 

Paul gaped as he listened to them talk. 

Skylar didn’t seem to care how Joe felt. 

If she did, she would have been eager to explain to him if he was misconstruing her as a seductress, right? 

The staff at the auction house had arranged seats in advance. 

Maisy and Jeffrey sat in the back corner. 

There were lots of people today. Apparently, the items auctioned today are treasures. Even if one could not get the items, it was a chance to broaden one’s horizons. 

Jeffrey was only able to attend the auction today thanks to someone’s introduction. 

Maicy had begged Jeffrey to let her tag along after she’d found 

auction. 

out that he would be attending the 

The Williamses had their own company and properties in Jipsburg. Still, they were not part of the upper- class society gathered here. 

Jeffrey wanted to use the opportunity to get to know these people. Maisy had the same intentions. She wondered if she’d see Joe, the guy she had a flitting glance at today. 

All the men wore suits. As she was seated behind, she couldn’t see what was happening in front too 

clearly. 

“Dad, you said the Martin Group gave us a contract that helped our company move ahead in the industry. 

If Mr. Martin of Martin Group was here at the auction, could we find a chance to speak to him?” Mai whispered. 

Jeffrey felt hopeful, too. “I hope to do so if there’s a chance.” 

2/2 

He suddenly thought about something he’d heard from others. “Mr. Martin is not married. You’re an outstanding young lady, Maisy. If you could get to know him, then… You know what I’m trying to say, right?” 

Maisy knew what Jeffrey was thinking. She blushed and lowered her head. “I know, Dad.” 

“You’re smart. No wonder you’re my daughter.” Jeffrey couldn’t help but praise her. 

Suddenly, he froze. 

Maisy saw Jeffrey looking stunned as he looked ahead, so she asked immediately. “What is it, Dad?” 

Jeffrey was staring at the man and woman at the front row. The man was Joe. The woman’s back looked familiar. It looked like Skylar, who had put him in a bad mood the entire day. 

“Joe brought a female companion today. She looks like Skye.” 

“A female companion?” Maisy looked in the direction Jeffrey was looking. 

She only 

lv saw Joe’s back, but it was enough to make her obsessed. He was wearing a suit like others, but he looked more attractive than others. 

But 

She couldn’t believe that he’d brought a female companion. The woman wore a haute couture dress that Maisy couldn’t afford to buy or order. The dress revealed the woman’s well–defined back, and her skin was as delicate as porcelain. 

She looked like….. 

She really looked like Skylar from the back… 

Maisy was jealous of the womans nyum 

Skylar. 

“Dad, she just looks slightly like Skylar. But there’s no way she could know Mr. Martin.” 

Maisy thought the woman looked slutty. She obviously wanted to seduce Joe with that dress. 

Maybe her dress was counterfeit anyway. 

Jeffrey took another look. “You’re right. I must have been mistaken. She doesn’t look like Skye at all.” 

Skylar didn’t know that Jeffrey and Maisy were there as well. After she sat down with Joe, the auction. 

started in a few seconds. 

“What does Grandma want?” Skylar asked Joe. She’d started to feel tired after seeing a few auction items. 

Her head pounded. She must have been too busy these few days. Her body felt weak. It was one of the symptoms of donating blood regularly. 

Joe glanced at Skylar. Due to his height, he was half a head taller than her, even sitting down. As she was wearing this dress, he could easily see her seductive features with a slight tilt of his head. 

This dress… was not suitable for her. 

“A diamond ring,” he replied coldly. 

From the corner of his eyes, he saw a man walking toward Skylar. He was looking at her from top to toe. Joe’s face fell. He looked at the man icily. 

When the man saw that Joe was beside Skylar, he stopped. At the same time, he felt a slight sense of pity. It was rare to meet a woman he was attracted to immediately. He couldn’t believe she was with Joe. However, Joe had never been with any women before. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

If she’d just been accompanying him to the auction, Joe wouldn’t have given him a warning gaze like that… The next auction item was an antique painting. 

The staff started auctioning it after explaining its background. 

Skylar was surprised when she saw the painting. Daniel was fast. She hadn’t expected him to send it to the auction house so quickly. 

She was also curious how much the painting she’d sold for 500 thousand dollars could be auctioned off 

for. 

Joe saw how intently Skylar was staring at the antique painting. He recalled that she’d brought a roll of painting with her when she’d moved to Galaxy Villa. 

Was she interested in antique paintings?
