Richest Mogul

As he lit the cigarette, the light cast upon his face flickered. 

Skylar couldn’t fathom what was on Joe’s mind, so she could only guess. ‘Don’t worry, Mr. Martin. I know what to do. I won’t date anyone in the three years of our marriage. I’ll never make Grandma worry.” 

He was probably afraid that she still had something to do with Christopher and that their matters would inadvertently alert Glori 

There was something she couldn’t tell him. He wouldn’t have thought she was still entangled with Christopher if he had known her experience in her previous life. 

After all, she didn’t enjoy being tortured, and she wasn’t that lowly. 

“Okay,” Joe replied softly.. 

Suddenly, Skylar felt something welling in her chest. She couldn’t hold herself back and said, “Mr. Martin, since you told me not to be in a relationship in three years, I wish you could do the same too.” 

It was a mutual agreement. It didn’t make sense if she was the only one abiding by the request. 

Joe could feel the hostility from Skylar. His frustration vanished in an instant. Then, he replied patiently, I’ll abide by the agreement.” 

Skylar didn’t dwell on that matter. “Okay then. Goodnight.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Goodnight.” 

When Skylar returned to her room to sleep, Joe grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and took a few sips. Then, he went outside to smoke. 

He saw the message from Jeremy on his phone. 

Jeremy: “Are you in the hot spring resort, too?” 

Joe recalled the voice he had heard when they were in the hot spring just a moment ago and tapped on 

the screen. 

Joe: “Did you bring a woman here?” 

Jeremy: “Did the receptionist tell you?” 

Joe’s eyes darkened as he replied, “No.” 

Jeremy stopped replying, and Joe switched off his phone before he walked to the villa. 

The next morning, the chauffeur came to pick up Skylar. 

Joe was still in the hot spring resort. He had said he would pick up Gloria from George’s place around 10: 

00 am.

Skylar arrived at Daniel’s store. She washed her hands and got ready for restoration work. 

When she was about to enter the workroom, Caleb tugged at her and asked, “Has Mr. Gardner Senior’s 

team called you?” 

He had been buttering up his grandfather for days, so Alexander would certainly agree to have Skylar join 

his team. 

Skylar said regretfully, “Mr. Gardner Senior’s team sent me a message yesterday afternoon. I wasn’t 

accepted.” 

“What?” Caleb widened his eyes. He hadn’t expected this. 

“It’s okay. I lack experience, and I didn’t major in archaeology, history, or anything related to those in college. It was normal that they didn’t accept me. I was mentally prepared. Anyway, thank you for telling 

me about this opportunity.” 

Seeing how shocked Caleb was, Skylar thought he felt bad for her. 

Daniel heard them and said, “I’ve recommended Skylar to the auction house. Once she’s done with the work here, she can apply for a job there. They offer higher pay and bonuses.” 

“Auction house isn’t better than Mr. Gardner Senior’s team.” Caleb scratched his head and glared at Daniel. He hadn’t expected his grandfather to be this cold–hearted. 

He wondered why Alexander was so ruthless. He had reassured Alexander, yet his grandfather didn’t 

believe him. 

Alexander was stubborn and merely took Skylar as an inexperienced young lady. He reckoned that someone recommended by Caleb wasn’t capable 

He thought Caleb had only done that because he wanted to court the woman by showing off he could let her join Alexander’s team. 

Caleb had no idea why most grandfathers would dote on their grandchildren, but it was the complete opposite for him.
