Richest Mogul

Chapter 1043

Skylar stared at Joe in disbelief. But whatever surprise she felt paled in comparison to the complete devastation on Vera’s face. She looked like she was about to shatter at any moment. And yet, Joe kept piling it on.

“It’s better to make things clear while my wife is here.”

The words “make things clear” and “my wife” hit Vera like a series of slaps.

She felt as if someone was repeatedly striking her across the face. Her head spun, and all she wanted to do was run away.

“I…” she began, but the rest of the words tumbled out a jumbled mess. She had never felt so humiliated in

her life.

“Joe and I were just high school classmates. I came to him today because I knew he could help me. There’s nothing else between us.”

The word’s barely finished before she bolted from the Galaxy Villa, her steps hurried and frantic.

After Vera left, Joe turned to Skylar and said, “She’s gone. Let’s head to bed.”
