Richest Mogul

Chapter 187 

This was exactly how Joe treated those he didn’t care about. Marcus was well aware of this, but he didn’t expect Joe to reject him so firmly without so much as a sliver of regard that they were mutual friends with Rowan and the others. 

This embarrassed Marcus greatly. Weren’t they fine before boarding and during the flight? Why did his áttitude change after getting off the plane? Could the phone call Joe received put him in a bad mood? 

If so, who made the call? Who could have made a call in the middle of the night to cause Marcus unnecessary trouble? 

Once they got into the car, Paul took out his phone and snapped a picture of his forehead while cursing, Damn it! How unlucky! I’ve been having a streak of good luck lately. How did it suddenly take a turn for the worse?” 

Joe glanced at Paul. Then, his gaze fell on the photo Paul had posted on Instagram over an hour ago. 

In the photo, Marcus could be seen behind Paul. Skylar must have called him after seeing this photo. He hadn’t noticed any ring on Marcus‘ hand before, but now he could vaguely see it in the photo. Perhaps it was because of what Skylar said, that ring did give off a bad vibe. 

“If Marcus contacts you, keep your distance from him,” Joe said. 

Paul was taken aback. Joe was rather cold toward Marcus. Had he offended Joe in some way? Or did the series of incidents on the plane affect Joe’s mood? 

“Did Marcus offend you?” Paul asked. 

Joe showed Paul his WhatsApp conversation with Skylar. After reading it, Paul’s eyes widened suddenly. 

“No wonder I’ve been so unlucky today!” He hadn’t understood it before, but now he did. 

Suddenly, he thought of something. If Marcus was sick, wouldn’t that affect a lot of people? Would Rowan, Ethan, and even Lukas be affected? 

The situation seemed especially worrying for Ethan and Lukas. They were not picky about their romantic partners. There was a chance they might have shared the same girlfriends before. Would they have gotten the same disease too? 

“Should we ask Mr. Jakeman and the others to get a thorough medical check–up?” Paul asked. 

Joe remained silent for a few seconds. Then, he typed a message and sent it to the group chat with Rowan and John in it. 

He wrote, “Marcus vomited blood on the plane. If you’ve had a common girlfriend with him, go to the hospital for a detailed check–up.” 

This caused a huge stir. 

Rowan responded instantly. “Vomited blood? What’s going on? And when did you two become so close that you would meet up personally now? I thought you disliked hanging out with Marcus and Ethan

John texted, “Could Marcus have AIDS? He seems to always have a cold whenever I run into him at 

restaurants.” 

Rowan replied, “Fuck this!” 

John advised, “Rowan, you hang out with Marcus quite often. Go get yourself checked. Let’s not meet for 

now. Good luck.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Joe texted, “Good luck.” 

Rowan didn’t reply anymore. He was probably in hysterics or was busy booking an appointment with a hospital for a check–up. He could also be checking his Instagram diligently to see if he had any overlapping girlfriends with Marcus. 

In short, Joe and a few others would be staying up that night, unable to sleep. 

Steven had just walked out of the laboratory at the company when he saw the haggard Kenny standing 

before him. 

Steven pretended not to see Kenny and walked past him. 

However, Kenny stopped him. “Wait, do you know anything about Skylar being a mistress? Not only that, she also got that guy who’s having an affair with her to sabotage our company. We’re facing a lot of problems now, and she’s likely the one behind all of this.”
