Richest Mogul 1070
Not long after, Ernest arrived.
He began to persuade Gloria, hoping she would convince Joe to call off his engagement. Since Joe
had divorced Skr, Ernest insisted that he should choose a reputable socialite from Jipsburg.
Although Lizzie had a good background, Ernest argued she was not a suitable match for Joe.
Gloria listened patiently before waving her hand dismissively. “If he could disregard the wife I
arranged for him, do you think my words still matter? Don’t bothering to me anymore. I’m
tired.”
After saying this, she instructed Edgar to see Ernest out.
Seeing Gloria’s condition, Ernest hesitated to say more. He felt it would be pointless to continue, so
he left disappointed.
In truth, he was also under pressure from Denton. The recent turmoil caused by his son and
grandson made it impossible for Joe to be of help, and he suspected that Joe might be
orchestrating these events to undermine them.
Ernest had quietly sought help from Denton, who had been gracious. They had been friends in their
youth, so now that Denton wanted to marry Vera off to Joe, Ernest felt obligated to assist.
Yet Joe seemed increasingly dismissive of Ernest’s authority, refusing to listen to his advice. This
infuriated him.
“Grandpa, can we confirm that Joe divorced Skr?” As udio waited at the hospital entrance, he
immediately approached Ernest after seeing hime out and asked.
Ernest nodded solemnly. “Yes, it’s confirmed. His grandmother is even more ill because Skr was
her chosen granddaughter–inw.”
Upon hearing this, udio’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
The first time he saw Skr, he had been captivated by her beauty. He wanted to know what it felt
like to be with a woman who had been with Joe.
Now that Joe no longer protected her, udio felt he could finally make a move. He envisioned
keeping Skr close, enjoying herpany to his heart’s content.
When Skr mustered the strength to check her phone, she realized that Natalie had called her
multiple.
times.
Joe had set her phone to silent mode.
As she scrolled through her missed calls, she noticed Vera had also reached out, but she chose to
ignore it. Instead, she called Natalie back.
Natalie answered the call almost the second it rang, not giving Skr a chance to speak.
Immediately, sheunched into a tirade, listing all of Joe’s offenses,
“Damn it! Joe is such a jerk. When he was in Fachington, he was all tangled up with Vera, and now,
just days after returning, he’s getting engaged to another woman while he’s still married to you. Is
he out of
his mind?
“I never realized he was such a yer. I mean, look at you, Skr. You’re gorgeous. That Vera and
Lizzie can’tpare to you. You’ve only been married briefly, and it feels like he doesn’t value what
he has.

“Honestly, there are hardly any good men out there. Skye, trust me, it’s not worth it to be sad over
someone like him. You need to listen to me. Hurry up and get a divorce. Move in with me.
“Let’s keep that jerk out of your life. He wants to y the field. Well, so can you. He’s getting
engaged today; tomorrow, I’ll help you find a boyfriend. Do you remember Elliott?
“Elliott, the one who’s a detective. Since he met you, no one else has caught his eye, not even
during blind dates. Isn’t he just waiting for you? I trust his characterpletely. Tomorrow, I’ll have
hime over to my ce.”
Skr didn’t realize when Joe had alsoe downstairs, quietly standing before her without
making a sound.
Fueled by frustration and indignation, Natalie’s voice echoed loudly through the quiet vi. With Joe
standing so close, he could hear every word.
The moment she mentioned Elliott, his eyes narrowed. 1
He turned toward Skr and asked, “Elliott, the detective?” Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
Skr’s lips twitched slightly. Then, she quickly cut off Natalie’s rant and said, “I’ll exin this to

“Skye… I’m just so upset thinking about everything you’ve been through. How can you stay so
calm?” Natalie started crying now.
