Richest Mogul 907


    Caleb told Simona, “I’m just getting off work now. I’ll head over right away.”


    After ending the call, he turned to Skr. “Skr, I’m leaving.”


    Skr smiled and nodded. “Go ahead.”


    The fact that Simona was beginning to reconnect with friends again meant she was starting to heal


    from her trauma.


    Skr had nned a getaway with Joe today, a trip to a hot spring


    resort.


    She spotted Joe’s car waiting at the curb as she left Gardner


    Group. He had chosen a different, less noticeable car today. When she got in, Joe was already on


    the phone.


    “I have something on today,” he said, frowning at something the person on the other end had said.


    After a pause, he responded, ” Alright, I’ll be there in 30 minutes.”


    Skr’s smile faded as it became clear that their ns were about to be canceled today.


    Joe ended the call and turned to her. “Rowan had some issues at home, and Mr. Jakeman wants


    me to go over. You should head home and wait for me. We’ll go to the hot spring resort tomorrow.”


    “Okay,” Skr said as she reached for the door handle, “I’ll just grab a cab home.”


    Joe stopped her. “No need. We’ll be passing by Jakeman Residence on the way home.”


    Skr settled back into her seat.


    Joe updated Skr about Rowan’s situation during the drive. ” Rowan had a disagreement with his


    family over breaking off his engagement with Minerva. Mr. Jakeman Senior disagreed, and Rowan


    caused a scene. It got to the point where Mr. Jakeman Senior had to discipline him.”


    “Discipline him?” Skr was taken aback. She thought such practices were outdated. But


    apparently, some families still employed them. She wondered what that actually meant.


    In the past, it often involved pping, grounding, or other harsh punishments.


    Joe’s expression grew serious. “Yes, they’re expelling Rowan from the family. From now on, he’s no


    longer rted to them.”


    “That extreme?” Skr’s expression changed as the gravity of the situation hit her. This wasn’t just


    punishment; this wasplete severance. Rowan likely hadn’t anticipated such severe


    consequences.


    They soon arrived at Jakeman Residence. Joe got out of the car, and Lucas drove Skr back to


    Gxy Vi.


    About an hourter, Skr received a call from Joe.


    “I’ll probably be veryte tonight. Don’t wait up for me, and get some rest,” Joe said.


    “Okay, I understand,” Skr replied.


    Joe hadn’t gone into detail, but she could tell the situation wasplex. Clearly, Rowan had strong


    feelings for Jenny.


    It was the middle of the night, and Skr was half–asleep when a phone notification startled her


    awake.


    She picked up her phone to find a WhatsApp message. ncing at the clock, she saw it was


    already 12:30 am

    It was a message from Vera. There was no text, just a photo.


    The photo showed a group of people gathered around a birthday cake, with Vera standing front and


    center, beaming.


    Suddenly, Skr noticed Joe in the photo. Surrounded by


    unfamiliar men, his strikingly handsome face stood out even in the still image


    Skr knew why Vera had sent the photo. Her gaze lingered on Joe, noting the way he looked at


    Vera. Even in the dim light, Skr could sense the emotions in his eyes.
