Richest Mogul

Chapter 177 

“It’s impossible for Annie to dismiss the person chosen by Gloria with just a million dollars,” Paul thought 

to himself. 

Apart from undermining Joe’s authority, the value of the large diamond ring gifted to Skylar alone 

exceeded a hundred million dollars. If Skylar had been a gold digger, targeting Gloria might have been a more strategic move. 

Annie’s decision to offer a mere million dollars to threaten Skylar appeared foolish and inappropriate. 

Annie felt embarrassed. 

“Mr. Ziegler, I’m sure you would understand why I need to speak with Mr. Martin face–to–face. Some misunderstandings are difficult to clear up over the phone. We’ve known each other since childhood. Is it truly necessary to deny me a chance to explain?” she pleaded. 

“Ms. Silver, you’ve crossed a line. By interfering in Mr. Martin’s affairs, others might misunderstand your relationship with him. Since you’re nobody to Mr. Martin, meddling in his affairs is inappropriate. I doubt you can explain why you threatened Ms. Sullivan. You should leave, Paul stated bluntly. 

People just love stirring up trouble based on their long–standing connections. Paul’s straightforwardness. couldn’t hurt. 

Annie’s face turned even paler than before. “Have you investigated Skylar?” 

“Ms. Silver, you’ve crossed another line.” Paul’s demeanor darkened, dropping the fake smile. 

It was clear that Annie had investigated Skylar. Would people like her dare to dig deeper if they knew Skylar wasn’t just Joe’s lover but his wife? 

Annie froze in place. She had crossed the line again. She suddenly realized that anyone who could be by 

Joe’s side would surely be investigated thoroughly. 

Joe knew everything about Skylar, but he completely ignored it. It felt suffocating. Annie then took a deep NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

breath. 

Annie watched Paul enter the building, and his resolve was unwavering without a hint of hesitation. 

Clearly, there was no room for negotiation. 

Her mother, Sabrina Madison, suddenly called. “Mom.” 

“How did it go? Did Mr. Martin listen to your explanation? Let’s tone it down a bit first. I mean, it’s just a fling. Mr. Martin wouldn’t really go against us because of her,” Sabrina said. 

Annie’s voice was strained. “Mom, I couldn’t see him, and there’s no room for discussion. 

“What? He won’t even let you apologize to him in person? Is he ignoring your lifelong friendship just for a 

woman? 

“I happen to have Mrs. Martin Senior’s phone number. I’ll talk to her and let her know how abed d 

Sabrina hung up 

She immediately called Gloria. “Mrs. Martin Senior, it’s me. I’m Sabrina Madison, Grayson Silver’s wife. We met at Gardner Manor a few years ago,” Sabrina said, trying to cotton up with Gloria. 

Gloria listened to her absentmindedly while watching TV. She was used to receiving such calls frequently. Sudden calls like this always had a purpose, especially when they weren’t close. 

“I know,” Gloria replied indifferently. 

“Well, Mrs. Martin Senior, something happened these past two days. Annie and Joe have known each other since childhood and even attended the same university. There might have been something between 

them. 

“But suddenly, a woman named Skylar Sullivan had intruded on their relationship recently. She’s a homewrecker, even her own parents despise her. Annie was worried that Joe was deceived, so she…” Sabrina explained the whole situation. 

Gloria was initially uninterested, but her face turned cold as she listened. Edgar saw Gloria’s sudden change in demeanor and knew that someone had upset her. 

“Skye’s is a homewrecker ? It seems to me that the Silver family had failed to educate Annie. How dare you guys meddle in our family’s affairs?” Gloria said before hanging up the phone 

Then she called Joe. “Are you even a man?” 

“What’s wrong, Grandma?” Joe was bewildered 

“Just now, Annie’s mother called me to slander Skye. How could they bully my granddaughter–in–law? Did you agree to let the woman from the Silver family bully Skye? Did you let their whole family bully Skye?” Gloria bombarded him with questions
