Richest Mogul

Chapter 10

The police questioned had Christopher for several hours. Even though he had presented evidence of his relationship with Skylar, the police had refused to believe him.

The evidence Skylar had provided clearly stated that he had borrowed money from her. Seeing the 100 thousand dollars lying in his bank account, he loathed the thought of having to pay her back.

Christopher had thought that Skylar was just throwing a tantrum. He hadn’t been attentive to her lately since he had spent most of his time accompanying Maisy.

She could just tell him if she missed him. Why did she have to cause such a scene? Was she unaware that such antics would only make him dislike her even more?

Infuriated, Christopher called Skylar again.

Skylar happened to be on the subway when he called. As she stared at the caller ID on screen, her heart throbbed in pain. Clenching her phone, she answered his call.

I earn in the future will be yours.”

As Skylar listened to his flattery, her eyes flared with hatred. She snarled, “Christopher, you better pay me back as soon as possible. Otherwise, my lawyer will come and get you.”

Christopher thought he had misheard. “Babe? Did any rumors get to you? Since when do you care so much about money? How can our relationship be measured by money?”
