My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Jed, realizing the words he was about to say wasn't appropriate, quickly stopped himself.

After all, he had a crush on Ruth throughout high school. Everyone knew Ruth had fallen ill, and her family had also encountered some trouble.

The news stirred up quite a commotion back then. Many people used to envy Ruth's privileged family background, but after seeing how her parents behaved, everyone started to think differently.

Ruth bit her lip, her face flushed. "I managed to find a suitable kidney donor and successfully underwent surgery. I'm fine now."

"That's great! Congratulations!" Jed said enthusiastically, his eyes scanning Ruth.

He had a feeling that the once untouchable goddess wasn't doing so well these days-perhaps not even as well as he was.

The high school beauty, who had always seemed beyond reach, was now standing right in front of him, and there was even a chance he could win her over effortlessly. How could he possibly let go of such a golden opportunity?

After returning to the country, it was rare for Ruth to meet someone who looked at her with such admiration. She knew Jed had a crush on her back in high school-almost all the boys in her grade had liked her.

Otherwise, Jed wouldn't have been so eager to invite her to dinner. Her vanity was greatly satisfied.

"Alright then," Ruth agreed, her tone lofty and condescending.

Skylar had no idea what Ruth did after leaving.

She and Charles were both busy with their own lives. She had forgotten that Ruth had ever shown up after a few days.

She might not have even remembered if it weren't for her sister-in-law, Mona's call.

"Mona."

"Skye, I hope I'm not disturbing you," Mona said.

Skylar smiled and replied, "Not at all. I'm just done with work, so I'm free now."

Although she got along well with Mona, they rarely spoke on the phone, so receiving a call from her was a bit unexpected. Even if something was up, Skylar would always say it wasn't a bother

Mona hesitated before saying, "Your

brother has been away on a

et

ne

business trip these past two days and has been very busy. I didn't know who else to talk to regarding this matter. So, I felt it would be best to speak with you."

"What is it, Mona? Please tell me," Skylar asked immediately.

Steven was usually very busy, and Mona was handling most household matters.

Although they had hired a nanny, and Mona's mother often helped out, being pregnant and caring for a child must have been exhausting for her. Skylar was very understanding of Mona's situation.

Mona let out a soft sigh. "Ruth came to see me about an hour ago."

Ruth? Hearing this, Skylar frowned. "What did she want from you?"

She had assumed Ruth would only pester her and Steven. She didn't expect Ruth to go looking for Mona. Ruth was truly out of her mind!

"It seems you all know she's back. Inoveldrama

guess your brother didn't tell me about these messy matters because he didn't want me to feel stressed.1 was surprised she came to me If she hadn't introduced herself, wouldn't have recognized her.

"She said she's out of money and asked me to give her some. She even said I'm her sister-in-law and should take care of her," Mona explained. Hearing this reminded her of Maisy from years ago. In certain ways, the two were really quite similar.

Skylar replied sternly, "Mona, don't pay her any attention! She's crazy!"

"I didn't, but... she had injuries on her face. I feel like something might be wrong with her," Mona added.
