My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

Richest Mogul 1163

If Joe’s plane had landed, he would have called Skylar right away. At the very least, he would have called her before boarding to let her know he was safe.

But now…

Skylar stopped herself from making assumptions. Instead, she sent him another message on WhatsApp. “Are you resting?”

Just like before, there was no response, as if her message had been thrown into a void.

Another hour passed. It was already 6:00 pm, and there were no more flights arriving from Murida that day. So, they must still be in Murida.

Perhaps some last–minute work had delayed their return. Right now, it would be early morning in Fachington, so they were probably still asleep.

She had sent several WhatsApp messages in a row, but they likely hadn’t seen them yet.

She had skipped lunch. Even though it was time for dinner, she still didn’t feel hungry.

She couldn’t shake her uneasiness despite knowing that Joe and Paul frequently traveled abroad for work. There was an underlying sense of anxiety she couldn’t quite explain.

Skylar massaged her temples, trying to calm her nerves. Perhaps the weight of everything that had happened recently was making her overthink © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Or maybe it was because Joe had become increasingly important to her lately. When it came to matters involving him, she felt anxious and insecure.

Honestly, that wasn’t a good sign.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of the dream she had had before, the one where Viola had told her that she and Joe would face many challenges.

Just then, her phone rang.

Skylar immediately grabbed her phone to answer the call. To her surprise, it was Vera calling. She frowned slightly but decided to pick up.

“What do

you need?” she asked directly.

Vera’s tone was anxious. “I’ve been having nightmares lately. They’re always the same, whether at night or during my afternoon nap. I dream of Molly getting into an accident, covered in blood.

“In my dreams, she even tells me that I haven’t been properly honoring the statue, so she won’t let me off the hook. Skylar, do you think Molly is haunting me? She knows I handed the statue over to you, and now she’s targeting me?”

Vera had never believed in metaphysics before. She used to think it was all a scam. But after some personal experiences, her perspective had shifted. Now, she couldn’t help but feel she had been shortsighted.

She felt guilty. After all, she had brought one negative item after another into her home, and one incident after another had occurred in her life.

After waking up from those experiences, she became increasingly fearful of the term negative items“.

On top of that, Molly was dead. After hearing Vera’s description, Skylar realized what was happening.

“That statue does have some influence over you. Have you moved?”

“I moved right after you mentioned it. I left everything behind at that place and moved to a new place with all new stuff,” Vera quickly replied.

Skylar responded, “While I’ve already dealt with the statue, its influence on you will last for a while. But remember, you’ll dream about what you think about. Your recent nightmares are due to both the statue and your own worries. You need to accumulate good fortune for yourself. The statue’s influence will diminish over time.”

“Now that you mention it, I feel more at ease,” Vera said, sighing in relief.

“Okay.”

Just as Skylar was about to end the call, Vera suddenly recalled something. “Oh, by the way, I heard from a friend that Claudio has publicly claimed he wants to support you.

“You should be prepared for that. He’s the kind of guy who will use any means necessary to get what he wants. He’s already snagged a few stubborn celebrities. He’s pretty devious.”
