Richest Mogul

Joe’s frosty gaze snapped over to Skylar, who had pinned a woman on the ground. The woman’s face seemed red and swollen from getting beaten up. 

As for Skylar, she appeared unwavering and calm. The supple skin on her face made her seem fairly 

innocent. 

Joe thought to himself, “It seems she’s recovered.” 

Paul was shocked to see Skylar at the scene. His features darkened as he turned to the manager right away. “You’d best sort this out.” 

That left the manager in a panic. He couldn’t understand why Joe was there today and had to witness such a scene. The manager knew he’d lose his job if he failed to resolve the issue. 

Skylar realized then that Martin Group owned this hotel and the entire building. That was why Joe was 

here. 

Right away, the manager succinctly explained every detail about what had happened earlier and how he planned to resolve the matter to Joe. 

Joe tried to gather the reason behind the situation while listening to the manager. Then, his intense gaze swept past everyone inside the office. It made them feel suffocated. 

Sadie knew little about the company’s affairs. Even so, almost everyone in the upper social circles had 

heard about Joe.. 

Not to mention the fact that, in the past two days, Jeffrey had kept suggesting they find a chance to introduce Maisy to Joe. 

Jeffrey hoped that would allow the Williams family to rise in Jipsburg City’s social ranks. 

Sadie was shocked upon seeing Joe. She also felt slight regret about causing trouble for Janine. She couldn’t stand that Joe had witnessed Maisy getting beaten up. It was far too damaging to Maisy’s image. 

She peered ahead and saw that Skylar was still violently pinning Maisy down. It almost made her lose 

control over her senses. 

She couldn’t belleve Janine was just watching the fight play out and didn’t bother telling off Skylar. 

Still, Sadie soon snapped out of her thoughts and put on a pitiful act like she was the victim. “Get off her, Skylar! How dare you get physically aggressive?” 

Only then did Janine realize how complicated the situation was. She felt the incident would impact Skylar, which made her regret being so firm earlier, 

Janine wished she had tolerated things and apologized to Sadie instead. Perhaps the situation wouldn’t have gotten this complicated if she’d acted differently instead. 

The manager happened to notice Janine’s panic. He instantly understood the decision he had to make. 

2/2 

After all, he was only sacrificing a housekeeper. Hotel guests were like gods, and that applied even more so to guests who were respectable figures. 

“Janine, tell your daughter to let go of our guest at once!” the manager barked. 

“I’m no longer upset. Let’s just drop the matter. Your hotel should run a background check on future job. applicants to see if they have kleptomaniac tendencies before hiring them,” Sadie said self–righteously. 

Maisy had teared up by then, making her seem extra weak. On the other hand, Skylar appeared to be the 

bully. 

Skylar lifted her knee off Maisy’s 

stomach before standing straight like nothing had happened. 

“Janine, regardless of what happened, you should still apologize to the guest first. The manager no longer cared if the women knew each other. He only felt he needed to end the situation well in front of 

Joe. 

However, he couldn’t explain why something felt odd about Joe’s and Paul’s demeanors. 

“Do I need to repeat myself? My mom isn’t at fault. These women are the ones framing her. Shall I call the police, then?” Skylar held Janine’s hand for support. 

Janine spoke in a low voice, “Skye, I’ll just apologize and end this situation for good.” 

Skylar shook her head to make her stance known. She knew that letting Maisy and Sadie have their way would only inflate their egos. It would make them more shameless in the future. 

“How dare you?” Sadie was livid because of Skylar. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Maisy acted like she was afraid of Skylar. She lowered her head and bit her lip before murmuring, “Your 

even hit me earlier…” 

Skylar was used to seeing Maisy’s sly act of being the victim. She shot a half–smile at the latter while saying, “The police will say I was only defending myself a little too well. Besides, would I have hit you if 

you hadn’t tried to slap me?” 

“Yeah, Skye would never make the first move in a fight,” Janine testified. 

Joe glared at Sadie before staring deeply into Skylar’s eyes. His and Skylar’s gazes met, but none of the others around them noticed.
