Richest Mogul

Chapter 1251

Looking at the unfinished breakfast, Skylar felt a wave of loneliness wash over her. Knowing that she saw flying out of Jipsburg today, several people had called to check on her situation.

“Are you scared of being home alone? Why don’t you have Charles come stay with you? He’s not filming today because of the bad weather,” Janine asked over the phone.

“Mom, it’s fine. Let him rest at home. He rarely gets a day off. With weather like this, the roads are bound to be congested and unsafe. Everyone should stay home and keep safe,” Skylar replied.

Janine didn’t push further.

Outside, the wind howled, and rain lashed against the windows. The combination of the loud noises and the gloomy weather made Skylar feel a bit dazed.

After what felt like an eternity, Jeremy suddenly called. “Skylar, we found Mr. Ziegler.” His voice was serious and deep…

Skylar didn’t detect any happiness in his tone about finding Paul.

In her excitement, she momentarily overlooked Jeremy’s somber demeanor. “You found him? What about Joe? What’s their situation now?”

Jeremy said, “First, listen carefully. What I’m about to say is very important. We did find Mr/ Ziegler. He was held in an underground factory, and his movements were restricted every day. We managed to pay 30 million dollars to get him out, but Joe wasn’t with him.

“His condition isn’t great. He has been abused over the years and injected with various substances. It seems he’s experiencing amnesia or is disoriented. We’ll have to wait for the doctors, to examine him for more details. All his identification was lost, but it can be replaced at the embassy in the next few days.

“I’ll arrange for Mr. Ziegler to return to Jipsburg, but you need to cancel your flight and wait for updates from Murida.”

“Joe isn’t with Mr. Ziegler?” Skylar’s expression changed dramatically.

Jeremy’s voice turned grave. “That’s right. We have to wait for Mr. Ziegler to wake up and see if he can remember anything. We might also try some hypnosis techniques to help him recall what happened years ago. Just… don’t panic. Now that we’ve found Mr. Ziegler, locating Joe shouldn’t be as difficult.”

Skylar felt a tumult of emotions stirring within her. After agreeing with Jeremy’s advice, she sat rigidly on the couch.

Both Joe and Paul had gone missing together, but now only Paul had been found…

Paul had been suffering in that underground factory for the past few years. She couldn’t help but wonde

what had happened three years ago. Where could Joe be?

She tightened her grip on the mug in her hands.

All these questions would have to wait until Paul woke up. As she sat on the couch, lost in thought, an hour passed before the doorbell rang

Skylar walked to the front door. From the security camera, she spotted Charles holding an umbrella. She quickly opened the door to let him in.

As Charles put away his umbrella, he said to Skylar, “Mom and Steven were worried about you being home alone. They remember how scared you were of thunderstorms when you were little, so I rushed over. If it weren’t for the awful weather slowing down traffic, I would’ve arrived sooner.”

Skylar looked at Charles with a hint of realization. “I can manage on my own. I used to be scared of thunder and rain when I was little, but I’ve grown up. I’m not afraid anymore.”

Charles noticed that something seemed off with Skylar. “You don’t seem quite right. Tell me if something’s bothering you.”

He noticed she wasn’t her usual cheerful self when she saw him. Her face looked drawn, and her expression had an unmistakable heaviness as if something was troubling her.

“It’s nothing. My flight got canceled, and I woke up too early this morning, so I might just need some rest,” Skylar replied with a smile.

With Paul’s situation still uncertain and many things undetermined, she didn’t want to worry

Charles.

“I see. If you don’t sleep well, you should take a nap. You can try my cooking when up. I just landed a role as a chef and have been practicing hard these past few days. Today, I’ll show you my amazing culinary skills,” Charles said confidently to Skylar.

“Sounds great! Thanks, Charles. Just call me when it’s ready.” Skylar smiled and nodded, wanting to keep her emotions under wraps.

She headed upstairs, eager to retreat from the conversation.

Once Skylar was out of sight, Charles furrowed his brow. It was clear that her troubles went beyond just a lack of sleep.
