Richest Mogul

“Let’s go to the courthouse tomorrow at 9:30 am. What would you like as compensation?” Joe asked. 

He’d never been a stingy person. Although Skylar had ulterior motives for approaching him, it was undeniable that she’d brought great pleasure to Gloria. He could tell she was sincere toward Gloria. 

“I don’t need any compensation.” Skylar outright refused. 

Viola’s letter had stated that Skylar could soar as high as she wanted and earn bountiful riches if she wanted. 

She continued, “But I hope you won’t prevent Grandma from reaching out to me if she wants to see me or needs my help. After all, Grandma Gloria and Grandma Viola are elders whom I love and respect.” 

Joe knew who Viola was since he’d met her a few times. She was not only a mysterious elder but also Gloria’s friend. 

Although Skylar knew Viola, someone trustworthy, it didn’t mean Skylar’s intentions were pure. 

“I almost forgot,” Skylar suddenly said. “You promised to cease offering support to the Williams family when we registered our marriage. I hope you’ll keep that promise.” 

At that point, she had said everything on her mind and no longer needed to add anything else on. 

Joe gazed at Skylar while deeply pondering her words. The way Skylar spoke made it seem like she was innocent, while he looked like he’d deliberately started a fight to end the agreement. 

“Sure,” he answered with a frown. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

With that, the two arrived at a consensus. They only needed to go to the courthouse the next day to. finalize their divorce. 

Skylar stood with her bag and headed upstairs. “I’m going to pack my things. I’ll move out from Galaxy Villa tomorrow. By then, you should tell Grandma-” 

“After spending these past few days together, we realized our personalities are incompatible. So, we can’t foresee living together. I’m sure Grandma will understand.” 

Skylar cocked a brow, surprised that Joe had already thought of an excuse. 

She could tell how cautious and skeptical Joe was toward her. So, without waiting for him to say anything more, she continued ascending the stairs. 

“There’s no rush to pack your things. You can do it after we return from the courthouse tomorrow. I’ll get Paul to drop you off,” Joe said., 

Skylar shook her head. “I don’t have many things, so it’s no trouble to pack them now.” 

Not a word came from Joe, whose expression turned sullen. 

2/2 

Ten minutes later, Joe stood at the doorway to Skylar’s room. He looked at the packed suitcases and the room, which had returned to the way it had looked before Skylar had moved in. 

Skylar didn’t appear attached to Galaxy Villa. 

An inexplicable sensation ate at Joe’s heart as he started to feel like his assumption was wrong. 

Before Joe could think of anything more, he faced Skylar, who was looking up at him. He stated, ” 

Grandma’s heart wasn’t doing well, so she got hospitalized. We must go to her at once.” 

Skylar’s heart raced. “Didn’t Grandma say she felt better these past two days?” 

“I just got word at the last minute from the hospital. We’ll only know the specifics of her situation after we get there,” Joe answered with a low voice. 

Skylar dropped the sheets, which she’d been tidying. “Let’s hurry over.” 

“Yeah.” 

There weren’t many cars on the road, so they quickly reached the hospital within half an hour. 

Once there, they beelined for Gloria’s ward. 

Edgar explained Gloria’s condition to Joe and Skylar when they arrived, saying, “Mrs. Martin Senior briefly regained consciousness earlier. 

“She wanted me to relay a message. She wants you to go out for some food first. She has something to tell you two once she wakes from her rest.”
