Richest Mogul



Aiken watched as Skylar made her way to the restroom. It was evident that the news he had brought her had hit her hard.

But perhaps this was for the best. At least this way, she wouldn't lose her composure when she saw Ned later. Hearing the truth about his identity directly from him would have been another blow.

Besides, Ned would be attending the gala dinner that evening with his fiancée, Rosa. Judging by the timing, they should be arriving soon.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he spotted Ned and Rosa making their entrance. As soon as they appeared, the room fell silent.

Many people stared in disbelief at Ned. Someone gasped, "Mr. Martin?"

Another quickly corrected. "He's not Mr. Martin. He's Mr. Sowle, the CEO of Hawking Technologies."

"What? The CEO of Hawking Technologies?"

"Not Mr. Martin?"Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"How can there be two people who look so alike? They're practically identical."

"Yeah! They look so much alike. It's uncanny how identical they are."

The shock and murmurs from the crowd reached Ned's ears, and he wasn't surprised to be mistaken for Joe. A few months back, he had seen a photo in the news that introduced Joe, and he had learned some details about him.

Aiken was momentarily taken aback, lost in thought. It was one thing to think they

resembled each other from photos and videos.

But seeing Ned in person made it clear that it wasn't just a resemblance. They looked almost like twins.

At that moment, Rowan and Caleb regained their senses. They exchanged glances and simultaneously exclaimed, "What the heck?"

"I'm going to ask him." Rowan couldn't contain his curiosity and excitement after hearing the crowd's conversations.

He hurried over to Ned.

Caleb was about to follow when he suddenly thought of Skylar. He quickly scanned the room, searching for her. In the end, he didn't find her.

He only saw Aiken sitting there, staring blankly at Ned.

It wasn't just Aiken who was shocked. Most of the guests at the gala dinner had met Joe

before. The moment they saw Ned, they were all completely astonished.

Rowan walked directly up to Ned, scrutinizing him closely. He thought, "Damn it! They look the same."

Rowan asked, "Are you... not Joe?"

Ned's expression remained impassive as he coldly regarded Rowan. "No, I'm not."

Rosa spoke up, "You all must have mistaken him for someone else. He's Ned Sowle, the CEO of Hawking Technologies. We don't know anyone named Joe."

Since that day in the café when she heard Ned being called Joe, Rosa had been digging into Joe's background. The more she learned, the more startled she became.

"Are you really not?" Rowan frowned, continuing to examine Ned from head to toe. It was one thing to look alike. Their heights and personalities matched as well.

"Are you sure you grew up in Murida?"

A woman's graceful figure suddenly appeared, hurrying toward Ned. Hearing the footsteps, Ned turned and saw Skylar standing right in front of him.
