Richest Mogul 1109


    Skr said, “Ms. Garza, I just heard from Joe about what’s happening with your family. I’ll need to


    see the situation myself to understand it better. If it’s convenient, I cane by


    tomorrow.‘


    Lizzie replied, “I’m at home right now, so anytime works for me. I really appreciate youing all


    this way. I’ll pick you up at the airport tomorrow.”


    Considering the current situation between Joe and Lizzie, Skr quickly added, “No need for that.


    Just send me your address, and I’ll take a cab from the airport.”


    “It’s no trouble. Don’t worry about being seen. Nobody knows I’ve left Jipsburg. You’reing all the


    way here, and there’s no way I’m letting you take a cab to my house. It’s settled, then. See you


    tomorrow,” Lizzie said, leaving Skr no chance to refuse.


    After the call ended, Skr quickly packed a few things. The next morning, Lucas came to pick


    up


    both her and Joe, dropping Skr off at the airport first.


    Joe couldn’t take time off, so he had to stay behind in Jipsburg. Skr would be meeting Lizzie


    alone today.


    Just before she got out of the car, Joe pulled her into a deep kiss, pressing her into the seat for a


    long while.


    When she stepped out of the car, her lips were swollen, and her face flushed. Thankfully, she had a


    mask in her bag. She quickly put it on, lowered her head, and entered the airport


    terminal.


    As she walked in, sheined to herself, “My lips arepletely numb.”


    Even now, she still felt a bit light–headed from theck of oxygen.


    Two hourster, after boarding the ne and settling into her seat, someone suddenly appeared


    before her.


    “Mrs. Martin.”


    Startled by the familiar voice, Skr looked up. “Paul?”


    Paul nodded enthusiastically, shing a wide grin. “Surprised to see me? Mr. Martin was worried


    about you going alone.”


    By the time she reached Adaver, it would essentially be Lizzie’s territory. The Garza family was the


    most prominent in Adaver, so nothing was likely to happen to Skr there.


    Moreover, very few people knew about Skr and Joe’s marriage. To the outside world, Joe’s


    fiancée was still thought to be Lizzie. As a result, Lizzie became the target of attention and gossip.


    However, Lizzie was anything but fragile. Anyone trying to mess with her might as well be courting


    disaster.


    Paul felt like this trip was more of a vacation. It was a rare opportunity to rx.


    “That makes sense.” Skr nodded and gestured for Paul to take a seat.


    After sitting down, Paul smiled at her. “Adaver is known for its food, including your favorite- fondue. I


    know a few ces that do it really well. When I was in college, Lizzie invited me a few times, and


    just thinking about it now makes my mouth water.”


    Joe had asked Paul to tag along, not just to protect Skr, but for another reason–one that Paul


    was almost embarrassed to admit. Joe was overcautious, especially around Lizzie, worried she


    might somehow tempt Skr.


    However, it didn’t make any sense. Lizzie was devoted to someone else, and even if she wasn’t, it


    was unlikely she would try to go after Skr.


    Skr smiled and said, “Once the Garza family’s situation is sorted, I’ll treat you to some.”


    Paul grinned, not even pretending to be polite. “Deal. I’ll pick the ce:”


    With Paul keeping the conversation lively, the two–hour flight flew by. Skr didn’t have a moment


    to feel bored. She also used the time to learn some about the Garza family.


    The Garza family had only two children–Lizzie and her brother, Herman Garza. The weight of the


    family business had always rested on Herman’s shoulders, as Lizzie had no interest in the corporate


    world.


    Lizzie had been deeply passionate about music since she was a child. As a result, her parents) Carl


    Garza and Winona Parham, ced all their hopes on Herman.


    For a long time, Herman lived up to their expectations. He was brilliant and capable, and his parents


    were finally nearing the time when they could retire and enjoy a more peaceful life.


    But out of nowhere, Herman changed.


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    They had consulted well–known doctors worldwide and done thorough health checks. The


    conclusion was that Herman was physically healthy.


    The only potential issue was psychological, but even top therapists couldn’t offer a solution.


    The past year had been filled with worry for Carl and Winona, and the strain had visibly aged them.


    Even Lizzie had considered giving up her career as a violinist by the end of the year.


    By the time the nended, Paul had thoroughly exined the Garza family’s current troubles to


    Skr.


    After collecting her luggage, Skr spotted Lizzie waiting for them at the arrivals gate.
