Richest Mogul

“I’ve broken up with you long ago, Christopher! Don’t call me ‘babe‘ anymore. Just the sight of you repulses me. Because of you, I even hate the idea of becoming someone’s wife!” Skylar growled. 

The flame within her grew at the sight of his face. At the same time, her stomach kept cramping, which caused her face to pale more. 

Surprise showed on Christopher’s charming face. “Babe, do you even know what you’re saying?” 

He couldn’t comprehend why she had suddenly changed. It seemed that she wasn’t throwing a normal 

tantrum. 

Skylar pursed her lips but ultimately couldn’t help barking, “Get lost!” 

“Skylar, you know I’d never threaten to break up randomly, yet you keep bringing it up. Aren’t you afraid we’ll actually end up going our separate ways?” Christopher practically thundered at her. 

“You’d better not show your face from today onward,” Skylar said grimly. 

Christopher, who used to be a bright young man, had turned into a vile scumbag. That thought made Skylar feel like she’d wasted her youth on him. 

She mused, “I can’t fucking wait to see what Christopher will do when I end up in the hospital and need an exorbitant amount of money for surgery fees again.” 

Christopher took a deep breath before pointing at her. “You’d better not regret doing this!” 

After that, he whipped around and speedily marched off. 

Skylar’s tightening chest gradually eased up once she saw Christopher flee far away. 

Joe had watched the entire thing. He stood at the hotel’s lounge on the first floor, gazing past the floor–to- ceiling windows at Skylar and Christopher’s lover’s quarrel. 

All warmth left his eyes as he texted Skylar. “You don’t have to wait up anymore.” 

That was when Maisy exited the elevator. She was drawn to Joe right away. He was too hard not to 

notice. 

“You must be Mr. Martin, right? What happened earlier was a misunderstanding. I’ve already forgiven that impetuous young woman. 

She hurried over to Joe, not wanting to miss this rare opportunity. Her heels clicked with every step she 

made. 

Sadie didn’t stop Maisy when she saw the latter approaching Joe. 

It was rare for Maisy to like someone, and Joe happened to be someone the Williamses wanted to connect with. So, she hoped Joe could become her son–in–law. 

Joe turned around, his unfriendly stare settling on Maisy. Even his brows furrowed into a stem expression. 

2/2 

Maisy jolted. “M–Mr. Martin?” 

Joe remained emotionless as he walked away from her. 

All at once, Maisy paled. She couldn’t believe he had ignored her. 

Maisy used to be the prettiest girl on campus, so she’d had many admirers. Nobody had ever ignored her 

like that. 

Sadie rushed over then. “Maisy. 

“Mom, does Mr. Martin not like me? He totally ignored me when I was talking to him.” Maisy’s eyes reddened. 

She had always been proud and had never made the first move with men. It was her first time taking the initiative to speak with a man, but he’d treated her like she was air. 

That felt no different than getting slapped. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Maybe Mr. Martin is busy and couldn’t stay for a chat with you. It seemed like something was bothering him. Who knows? Maybe he’s in a bad mood because something happened. Don’t overthink it. 

“Your dad says he’s hoping to negotiate a collaboration project with Martin Group in two days. I’ll ask him to bring you along,” Sadie said, trying to console Maisy. 

Maisy regained her confidence after listening to Sadie’s comforting words. 

An hour later, Maisy finally found the chance to call Christopher. 

She asked, “Did you meet up with Skylar? Did you punish her on my behalf? My face still hurts after getting beaten up by her! I don’t know what’s wrong with her today!”
