Richest Mogul

Chapter 1604

As Elsie brushed past her, Skylar said in a low voice, "The negative item you have will bring you even more trouble later on."

Elsie froze momentarily before snapping, "I already told you! I've done nothing wrong, and there's no way I'd have a negative item on me. Stop dodging your problems. I'm certain Joe will remember everything about his past life soon. When he does, he'll realize that you have nothing to do with him. You're nothing but a thief to me!"

It was as though voicing her denial could somehow bolster her confidence, but her words betrayed her inner turmoil. Deep down, Elsie dismissed Skylar's claims as manipulative lies meant to sow doubt. Only fools would believe such nonsense. Skylar didn't argue. She simply watched as Elsie stormed out, her steps hurried.

Outside, rain continued to pour. Elsie didn't even have an umbrella. She stood anxiously at the curb, trying to hail a cab.

She glanced back nervously at the restaurant occasionally.

Their gazes met briefly through the window. The moment Elsie saw Skylar watching her, she quickly looked away, guilt flickering across her face like a shadow caught in the light.

Skylar sipped her water, her calm demeanor unshaken. After Elsie finally got into a cab and disappeared into the rain-drenched streets, a car pulled up in front of the restaurant. From it emerged Joe, holding an umbrella as he walked inside.

Skylar turned her gaze toward him as he entered; raindrops clung to his jacket despite his efforts.

Rising from her seat, she walked over to meet him.

"Done talking?" Joe asked.
