Richest Mogul

Chapter 596 

“Okay,” Jenny agreed hurriedly. 

When Jenny stayed back, Rowan also decided to follow in her footsteps. 

Skylar felt mildly regretful. She should’ve come in the afternoon. 

Skylar discreetly glanced at Joe. There were no emotions on his face. Her sixth sense began firing. She knew Jenny liked Joe. However, she didn’t know how Joe felt about her. 

Skylar pondered as she ate. 

Gloria wasn’t in the prime of her health. She went for a nap after 

lunch. 

As they were leaving, Jenny stared at Joe longingly in front of Pearlhall Residence. 

“Joe.” 

Rowan suddenly said to Skylar, “Skylar, I’ve got something to ask you. Is this a good time?” 

Skylar was unfazed. She replied, “Sure.” 

Rowan pulled his phone out. There were a few photos of antiques. He asked, “Take a look at these antiques for me. Should I add them to my collection? Are they worth collecting?” 

Skylar knew that Rowan was trying to give Joe and Jenny a chance to speak privately. Asking her whether there was any value in those antiques was merely an excuse. 

However, she always treated antiques seriously. She observed them thoroughly and missed out on what Joe and Jenny were talking about.

When she was done looking, the two of them had finished their chat 

as well. 

As she left with Joe, Skylar saw that Jenny’s eyes were filled with tears. Had she been crying? 

They watched Rowan and Jenny leave before getting into their own 

car. 

Silence ensued between them on the way back to Galaxy Villa. 

“Does Mrs. Martin Senior not like me? Is that why Joe is keeping his distance from me? Joe did not use to behave like this before he got married,” sobbed Jenny. Tears rolled down her cheeks. 

Rowan swore when Jenny started crying. He advised, “The past is in the past. You should live in the present. Wake up, Jenny. Joe promised your mom that he would raise you till adulthood. 

“You’ve graduated from university, and you’re going to enter the workforce soon. He’s gotten married. Of course, things are different 

now.” 

In the past, he wouldn’t have been so harsh with her. 

However, Joe had made his stand clear. Skylar was the most important person to him. 

Compared to Jenny’s paranoia, Skylar remained calm from the second Jenny arrived until she left. 

Rowan would be darned if Skylar couldn’t see Jenny’s intention toward Joe. She was such an intelligent woman. 

Joe was keeping his distance from Jenny. Wasn’t it because he’d discovered Jenny’s feelings for him? 

Jenny seemed as though she’d woken up from a dream. She stared at 

5. T 

Rowan in disbelief and questioned, “Was this all just a promise he’d made with my mom? Had he treated me so well just to keep to a promise?” 

Rowan wanted to scold Jenny till the fog in her mind cleared up. He asked, “Did you think that Joe was a feelings–oriented man? Have you seen him waste time on romance? He’s seen all kinds of beautiful 

ladies.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“He only treats Skylar well because of Mrs. Martin Senior,” Jenny insisted stubbornly on her supposition. 

The corner of Rowan’s lips twitched. He said, “Men understand each other best. Today is a weekday. Joe is a work addict. Yet, he’s not working today. Instead, he accompanied Skylar to Pearhall Residence. 

“Do you think it’s as simple as visiting Mrs. Martin Senior? To my knowledge, Skylar visits Pearlhall Residence frequently, even without Joe’s company. He must’ve fallen for Skylar.” 

Jenny’s face was paler than a ghost,
