Richest Mogul

Skylar found herself in a difficult position, and she brainstormed ways to refuse the ring. 

Joe spoke up just then. “Accept Grandma’s blessing. It’s indeed my fault for neglecting to buy you a wedding ring.” 

Skylar’s head whipped toward him, a tinge of surprise flickering in her striking eyes. Even her thick, long lashes tremored slightly. 

Joe’s vision settled on her eyes. He paused for a while before continuing. “Try it on for size.” 

“Okay,” Skylar answered. 

She had no reason to think of excuses anymore since both Gloria and Joe were already convincing her to keep the ring. 

Ultimately, she felt it was best not to disappoint Gloria now. She would return the ring to Joe in private sometime later. 

Upon opening the box, Skylar was surprised by the ring’s splendor. 

No wonder people called it “The Darling Goddess Ring“. Any woman would’ve dropped their jaw in sheer awe at that sight and immediately desired to own it. Skylar was no exception. 

Once the ring was on her finger, she felt like even her hand had become valuable. 

“It’s beautifull 

“It’s beautiful! Skye’s hand has always been pretty and dainty, but it looks even better with this ring!” Gloria praised. 

Joe’s gaze bore deeply and intensely at the flawless skin on Skylar’s slender fingers. The Darling Goddess Ring’s added luster gave her hand a more radiant charm. 

Gloria rolled her eyes at Joe. “Skye’s hands suit sparkly gemstones like this. You should buy a few more for her after this.” 

“There’s no need, Grandma. It’s inconvenient for me to wear rings when working, so it would only be a waste to buy me more.” Skylar spoke honestly. 

After all, she couldn’t wear any jewelry on her hands when restoring antiques. That included watches, too. 

Gloria chuckled. “Those sparkly jewelry pieces are meant to adorn your jewelry box. They’ll put you in a good mood whenever you see them. 

“Not only was I obsessed with diamonds when I was younger, but I also adored emeralds and various other gemstones. You should come with me to Pearlhall Residence once I get discharged. 

“You have such a lovely complexion that those gemstones will surely look good on you-” 

That was when Gloria recalled something. “Oh, right. Do you like researching antiques, Skye? Can you tell whether an antique is authentic or an Imitation?” 

2/2 

Skylar nodded. “Yeah, I know a thing or two and can identify the authenticity of most antiques. Is there something you wish for me to examine, Grandma?” 

“Not me. I have an old friend who probably picked up the hobby of buying antiques because of their old age. However, they often buy fake’s by accident. 

“They want to organize their collection room and are looking for a trustworthy person to authenticate 

their items,” Gloria explained. 

Skylar answered, “Sure, Grandma. Feel free to take me along with you when you get discharged and wish 

to visit that friend.” 

She and Gloria chatted for a little longer, but the latter soon grew tired and fell asleep mid–chat. 

Seeing that Gloria had fallen into a deep slumber, Skylar left the ward with Joe. They felt safe leaving since Edgar and the doctors were around in the hospital to care for Gloria. 

They then headed to see Gloria’s attending physician to ask about her condition. 

Skylar and Joe said nothing on the way home to Galaxy Villa. Only a stern silence filled the car. 

It was only when Skylar was getting out of the car at Galaxy Villa that Joe called out to her. “Hang on.” 

Skylar sat back in her seat before shooting a confused look at Joe. 

She had to admit that he had an insanely attractive face. On top of that, he was born with an authoritative presence that made him appear superior to everyone else, 

She asked, “Is something the matter?” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
