Richest Mogul 1134


    Joe asked, “Have you been waiting for me?”


    “I haven’t been awake for long. I made some chicken soup. Do you want some now?” She headed


    toward the kitchen, and Joe followed close behind.


    Joe stood just behind her in the kitchen. Neither spoke, yet there was a peaceful and calm


    atmosphere between them.


    Skr handed him a bowl of chicken soup, their eyes meeting briefly. They shared a small


    smile.


    An hourter, Howard arrived, giving Joe a quick check–up. Once he confirmed everything was fine,


    he left.


    Not long after, Paul showed up with a few contracts. They were documents Joe needed to review


    and sign that day.


    Joe went straight to the study to get to work. He was finally done by 3:00 pm.


    Later, they cooked dinner together at home. Just like that, the day passed.


    Before bed, they spoke on the phone with Gloria. Then, Skr got a call from Alexander, who had a


    job for her to look into the next day.


    The next morning, Joe fully recovered and went back to work while Skr went to meet


    Alexander.


    His friend had contacted Frank, hoping to get Alexander’s help finding Skr. They had sought her


    out for help identifying whether any of the family’s antiques were linked to negative items.


    In their circle, people were passionate about collecting antiques. However, with the recent surge in


    cases involving negative items, collectors were growing increasingly anxious.


    The elder’s collection wasn’trge. After examining ten or so pictures, Skr concluded there was


    nothing wrong with them.


    Nevertheless, the elder insisted on transferring her a fee for her services.

    “The person


    behind the negative items has gone quiet recently. I had people investigate


    Kevin, but news has yet toe up.


    “It’s been too long, and those from the older generation who might have known about Vi having a


    brother are no longer around.” Alexander sighed with a hint of sadness.


    Worrying that the conversation would upset him, Skr reassured him. “We’ll figure it out. He’s


    secretly made moves for so long that he’ll slip up eventually. Moreover, we’ve already confirmed


    that Molly is one of his people. If we follow her trail, we’ll get some answer.”

    “True,” Alexander replied.


    “If this person doesn’t reveal themselves soon, Joe will take action against Molly. But it’s possible


    she’s just being used and may not even know who’s behind everything.


    “We’ll take it one step at a time. Now that everyone thinks you and Joe are divorced, you have a


    chance to rest for a while. Once you’re ready, you can return to work,” he added.


    At his age, Alexander knew that no one in his family was capable of carrying on his legacy, so he


    had already decided to leave it all to Skr.


    Without Vi back then, Alexander wouldn’t even be here today. Leaving everything to Skr felt


    like paying it forward for Vi’s kindness.


    But he couldn’t tell her yet–she would refuse. First, he needed to get his will in order.


    After leaving Gardner Group, Skr met up with Minerva. Minerva had reserved a table at a


    restaurant, and they arrived almost at the same time.


    They had just sat down and hadn’t even ordered when someone walked toward them–it was


    Rowan.


    “What a coincidence,” he said with a smile.


    Minerva’s face turned cold the moment she saw Rowan, andpletely ignored him. Rowan’s smile


    froze in ce, and his expression shifted awkwardly.


    The situation became tense quickly.
