Richest Mogul

Joe and Skylar even looked away at the same time. 

“You can deal with this,” Joe said while looking at Paul. Then, he strolled out of the office area’s main doors as he had only passed by the space. 

Paul knew about Joe and Skylar’s relationship; they were secretly married and didn’t want others to know about it. That was why he couldn’t formally greet Skylar. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Still, the fact that Joe had let Paul handle things meant Joe didn’t want Skylar to be picked on. 

The irony was Skylar hadn’t gotten bullied by the others. In fact, she had even beaten someone up as 

though she was bringing the wrongdoers to justice. 

Despite that, one could only blame Sadie for mistreating Skylar and being unlucky enough to bump into 

Joe. 

With that in mind, Paul ordered, “Check the surveillance footage and see if these women have framed our 

employee. If that’s the case, call the police at once.” 

That rattled the manager at once. 

Sadie’s arrogant expression dropped. “What?” 

Even Maisy paled in sheer shock. “Mr. Martin may have asked you to deal with our case, but do you 

seriously plan to resolve the issue this way?” 

Skylar didn’t give away the fact that she knew Paul. She nodded at the latter neutrally as thanks. 

Janine said to Paul, “Thank you for believing me.” 

That was when Paul’s voice took a stern shift, and he turned to face the manager. “As for you, this 

incident has demonstrated your unprofessionalism, as well as your inability to remain unfazed and 

unblased. 

“Go and collect another month’s salary from the finance department. Then, I want you to resign of your 

own will,” 

The manager had just texted the office group chat, asking someone to go through the surveillance footage for the elevator. He’d never imagined that he’d get fired immediately after. 

This job position was the best he’d gotten in years. It came with a high monthly salary and a great working environment. He couldn’t believe he’d gotten fired for defending the hotel’s guests. 

Meanwhile, Sadie and Maisy were freaking out. 

Sadie glared daggers at Skylar and Janine, thinking it had been a waste to treat Skylar so well these past 

six months. 

She felt betrayed by the fact that Skylar had sided with Janine to attack her. It infuriated her to no end.

Yet, she refused to involve the police in this incident. After all, the surveillance cameras had caught her. red–handed. 

Her eyes darted down as she exclaimed, “Gosh! What’s my ring doing here? This incident is a misunderstanding. 

“I didn’t lose my ring, so you guys don’t have to check the surveillance footage or call the police anymore. It’s my mistake.” 

Maisy tolerated the pain in her cheek from being slapped as she played along. “Oh, so it was in your bag, Mom. It seems this was all a misunderstanding.” 

“A misunderstanding, huh?” Skylar knew the duo were putting on an act. Without a trace of emotion, she looked at them. 

The two had behaved the same in her past life. They had always brushed off their actions as a misunderstanding after they’d gotten caught. 

Not only had they gotten away clean, but they’d also told Skylar not to be offended by them. 

At the time, Skylar had let things slide and forgiven them with ease because she’d seen them as family. 

Skylar now knew Sadie and Maisy would never admit they were at fault. Because of that, she said stoically, “It’s best if we still settle this incident in the police’s presence.” 

Paul had previously investigated Skylar’s relationship with the Williams family. The information he’d received claimed Skylar supported the family and wanted to join them. 

However, the scene before him felt like an entirely different situation. 

That was when Paul recalled how Joe had ordered him to retract their support for the Williams family a few days ago. It seemed the Williams family and Skylar weren’t on good terms now. 

“What on earth are you trying to do, Skye?” Sadie hissed. 

Her patience depleted while anger and anxiety coursed through her veins. How come neither her soft nor her harsh approaches seemed to be working with Skylar?
