My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Another two months passed when Skylar came across some unexpected news about Raven.

The inte was flooded with reports about her.

During a recent live stream, Raven had suddenly fainted, and shortly afterward, one of her studio employees leaked that she had been hospitalized and diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer.

While this wasn't entirely shocking-after all, even public figures were not exempt from life's trials, like illness and death-it was Raven's reaction that stirred controversy.

Apparently, while in the hospital, Raven caused a huge scene, claiming to be Joe's wife and demanding the best doctors to treat her.

Unfortunately for her, her outburst was caught on camera and uploaded online. The clip quickly went viral, with many ridiculing her, saying that her illness had also affected her mind.

People mocked her for trying to attach herself to Joe Martin, the CEO of the Martin Group.

But no matter how skilled a doctor might be, late-stage cancer often offered no hope.

If Raven had come to the hospital six months or even three months earlier, her prognosis might not have been as grim.

That evening, Skylar, Joe, Paul, and Rowan were having dinner together when Paul received a phone call.

Initially, no one paid much attention to Paul taking the call, but his sudden outburst caught everyone's attention.

"You're crazy! If you're sick, just stay in the hospital and get treated. Why on earth should Mr. Martin visit you? And why are you calling me about this? Let me make it very clear-stop dreaming.

"I know exactly who you are! You've been dabbling with negative items, and now they're turning against you, causing you to have delusions. Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that you're a patient, I'd go over and give you a piece of my mind!"

Hearing Paul's rant, Skylar instantly guessed who had called—it must have been Raven.

"Was that the influencer who's been hospitalized for cancer? I heard she's been acting delirious since her hospitalization, claiming to be Joe's wife. "Joe, your charm is really something else look at how you've made the poor woman lose her mind," Rowan said with a smirk.

Joe shot Rowan a cold glare. "Shut up."

Rowan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Skylar. "What, afraid Skylar will get jealous?"

Skylar rolled her eyes at Rowan. No one seemed able to control his sharp tongue these days.

"It's her! I don't know where she got my number, but she called me and demanded Mr. Martin meet her one last time.

"She even claimed that she's the real

ve?

Mrs. Martin! She's completely lost her grip on reality, messing with negative items until they've consumed her!" Paul interjected, clearly exasperated.

"One last time?" Skylar asked in surprise.

Paul nodded. "Yeah, she sounded really weak. But her words were all over the place one moment she said she was Maisy, the next she claimed to be Raven.

"She kept insisting that no matter the past or present, she had always been Mr. Martin's woman. She even said Mr. Martin would regret it if he didn't see her."

Paul chose to omit certain parts. For instance, Raven had accused Skylar of being a thief-someone who had stolen her husband and altered her destiny.

Of course, those claims had also spread online.

However, most people ridiculed Raven, accusing her of being delusional for targeting someone like Joe.

He was not only married but had also remained scandal-free for years. Many celebrities had tried to win his favor, only to fail spectacularly.

Some had even faced career-ending consequences for their audacity.

Public opinion concluded that Raven's illness had truly affected her mental state. What might have been a sympathetic situation turned into one where she lost all goodwill due to her own actions.

"Let's not talk about her anymore," Rowan suggested, sensing the topic was dampening the mood.

"Agreed."

Joe stood up and took Skylar's hand. "Let's go."

As the couple left, Rowan watched them with an exasperated expression. "They're together all the time. Don't they ever get tired of each other?"
