Richest Mogul

Chapter 226 

John asked, “Dad, when will Skylar be done with her work?” 

Alexander checked the time. “She’ll only be finished by noon at the earliest.” 

Skylar always devoted her full attention to her work. Besides, Frank needed that painting urgently. 

“That long?” John watched as Skylar focused intensely on restoring the painting. She appeared so serious that he couldn’t stop himself from watching her. 

She was beautiful enough to be able to coast through life with her looks, yet she had chosen to put her skills to good use. 

A thought struck John, and he took a photo with his phone. Then, he said, “Dad, I have some time on my hands today. I’ll wait in the lounge.” 

“Sure, 

go ahead. I have work to do. Talk to Caleb if you’re free and advise him to get over her. Or you can try looking around for decent ladies so he can get to know them.” 

Alexander was concerned about Caleb even though he pretended otherwise. John agreed to his suggestions. 

As Alexander left, John sent the photo he had taken to Joe. “No wonder you chose to marry Skylar. I think I’ve found the reason.” 

Joe’s gaze was fixed on the photo for some time. 

Paul was still reporting to him about work–related matters. He spoke so much that his mouth went dry. Then, he waited for Joe’s decision. 

There was a long pause, which Paul nervous. “Is there a problem? I’ll ask them to redo the proposal.” 

Joe looked up at him. “Repeat from the start.” 

“Oh, okay.” Paul thought that was odd. Still, he repeated what he just said. However, he was distracted. 

What had Joe seen on his phone? Why was he so concentrated on it? 

Ten minutes later, Paul left the room. 

Joe unlocked his phone and gazed at Skylar in her work mode once more. He texted John back, saying, 

Delete that photo. Keep your eyes to yourself.” 

Breaks were rare for John, so he was leisurely enjoying a cup of coffee in the lounge. He hadn’t expected 

Joe to reply to his message so fast. 

After reading the text, he almost spat out the coffee in his mouth. “I have a fiancée. I’m just admiring. nothing more.” 

Three seconds later, Joe replied, “She’s not for you to admire.” 

John glanced at the cup of coffee beside him. He was no longer interested in it. Instead, he immediately

called Joe. “I thought you didn’t love her. Why are you so jealous?” 

Joe stood up and walked to the floor–to–ceiling window. “I’m not jealous.”

Sensing his indignance, John felt speechless. “Yeah, whatever. I deleted the photo. Joe, I’m thinking of asking Skylar to talk to Caleb so he can get over her.” 

“Get Caleb to give up,” Joe replied in a low tone. 

Caleb was just a brat. How dared Caleb try to take his wife from him? 

Caleb was lying in bed with a book he was reading. It was a book for beginners. The tutor Alexander had hired had given it to him. 

Caleb had been able to digest its contents when he had been younger. But now, he couldn’t understand a thing. He scratched his tousled hair. 

“It’s so tough!” He almost burst out crying. 

He thought about Skylar, who was excellent at her job. Meanwhile, he had no achievements to his name. around All he knew was how to fool around with his friends. The only skill he had mastered was joking with others on live streams. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
