Richest Mogul 1079


    With a golf course thisrge, finding Joe would be difficult.


    Her friends sent her a photo along with a location pin. Vera made her way to the designated spot.


    However, after bustling about for ten minutes, she watched Joe get into a car and dove away.


    She immediately waved her arms at him, but Joe either saw her and ignored her or simply didn’t


    notice.

    Her face darkened. “Joe, are you seriously trying to avoid me because you saw meing? Is it


    really necessary for us to be like this? If it weren’t for me, you’d still be stuck with Skr. You’re


    going to regret this.”


    Around 5:00 pm, Natalie happily parted ways with Skr after shopping for clothes and shoes. She


    was


    headed to Austin’s house.


    Skr then drove home. On the way, Joe called her. “Let’s have dinner together tonight. I’ll send


    you the address.“.


    Following the address, Skr drove directly to the location. It turned out to be a high–endplex


    with excellent security.


    Joe must have informed the security staff about her arrival, as she had no trouble essing the


    underground parking garage. She took the elevator ording to the address provided.


    Once she reached the floor, it swung open before she even had the chance to ring the doorbell. Joe


    stood there, holding it open for her. “Come in.”


    Skr looked around before stepping inside.


    “This entire floor is mine, and Martin Group built thisplex. I’ll be living here from now on, so no


    one will be able to follow you. You cane over every night,” Joe said straightforwardly.


    Skr slipped on the slippers that fit her perfectly. “Coming here every day might get noticed,” she


    replied, feeling it was a bit risky.


    Joe shrugged it off. “That won’t happen. They’re not brave enough to have anyone tail me. I have


    my people surrounding me.”


    He added, “You’ll be protected too, so don’t worry.”


    Skr chuckled softly. “Alright then. But I’ll go to Beckton with Natalie for a photo shoot in a few


    days.”


    “How long are you going for?” Joe frowned, suspecting Skr wanted to avoid him.


    “Just two days. Her break isn’t that long.”


    “That’s fine. I’ll keep you updated on anything happening with Molly during those two days,” Joe


    said.


    Skr nodded and moved toward the floor–to–ceiling windows with Joe. The tall building offered a


    stunning view and ample sunlight.


    It was dusk. The warm hues of the sunset poured into the room, making the entire ce feel


    vibrant, almost dreamlike.


    Suddenly, she remembered something. “I ran into Vera when Natalie and I were shopping today.”


    Joe’s expression remained neutral. “What did she say?”


    “You can probably guess what she wanted to know, but that’s not the main point. The important


    thing is


    that she had a strong sense of impending darkness.

    “If I’m right, she must have acquired another negative item since losing the ring.” Skr reflected


    on her encounter with Vera while gazing at the twilight scenery outside.


    Joe nodded. “Molly indeed gave her something.”


    Skr didn’t borate further. It was clear that Molly’s every move was under Joe’s scrutiny, so she


    didn’t need to remind him to stay cautious around Vera.


    “I’ll avoid meeting Vera. She’s targeting me,” Joe added.


    Skr felt relieved.


    She nced at the time and then toward the kitchen. She asked, “Is there anything in the fridge?”


    “There is, but you don’t need to cook. Paul will be bringing dinner in about ten minutes,” Joe


    replied.
