Richest Mogul

Chapter 1042

Anyone with eyes or ears would’ve been able to tell that Vera was trying to vie for Joe’s pity by flirting with

him.

How many men could withstand the attraction of their crush flirting with them? In addition, Vera was downright gorgeous.

O

Even though Skylar didn’t like Vera, she pitied her. It definitely wouldn’t feel to get stalked by a pervert. Terror was a natural reaction.

Joe pulled his phone out.

Skylar raised an eyebrow. It was no wonder he felt for her. She knew Joe had been using her to humble Vera. It was something Joe would do. He was a master of the human nature.

A burst of joy energized Vera. She knew Joe cared about her. Just as she’d expected, Joe was only waiting for her to give in to him.

Everyone held grudges. Joe wasn’t an exception.

However, what he did next came as a surprise to both Vera and Skylar.

He hadn’t picked his phone up to make a call. Instead, he scrolled through his contacts.

Then, he read out a string of numbers.

Vera was befuddled. She stuttered, “Joe, you…”

Why was he reading out a number?

Skylar found it familiar.

“This is Aiken’s number. Ask him to solve your problems,” said Joe.

Vera’s jaw fell open. Her eyes widened as she exclaimed, “Aiken?”

She knew Aiken. However, why had Joe asked her to speak to him instead?

Vera was here for Joe’s help! She wanted to be consoled by him. Couldn’t he tell she was terrified? Hadn’t he picked up on how scary her stalker was through her description?

She was at once embarrassed and furious.

“Yeah. Aiken probably hasn’t gone to bed yet at this hour.” Joe checked his watch.

At the same time, he caught Skylar yawning out of the corner of his eye. It was time to sleep.

Vera’s eyes were filled with tears. She felt as though the whole world had wronged her. “Joe, is this how you’re going to treat me?”

When she needed help the most, he pushed her away coldly. Did he think she’d come back from overseas just to get back together with him? Was that why he thought he could trample on her heart like that?

Would he only be satisfied after quashing her ego entirely?

Didn’t he know how prideful she was?

Skylar felt that her continued presence here would be a nuisance. She stood up silently and headed upstairs. She didn’t want to disturb them.

However, someone foiled her plans. Joe grabbed her hand.

“Vera, stop saying things that will cause my wife to misunderstand our relationship. How have I treated you all this time?” Joe questioned Vera while he grasped Skylar’s hand firmly.

Some things had to be explained clearly before Skylar. He’d thought she would get jealous over Vera’s sudden appearance. Clearly, he’d read too much into her behaviour.

There was no point in testing Skylar like this. He felt embarrassed about his schemes.

The most important issue was that Vera had been giving him a weird feeling recently.

Sometimes, it made a fog descend on his mind.

However, he was as calm as he could be right now.

Tears had been shimmering in Vera’s eyes. Upon hearing Joe’s words, she froze. The tears cascaded down her cheeks. She felt as though a bomb had detonated by her ears. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
