Richest Mogul

It would be better to talk to Ned than Rosa, who refused to acknowledge her mistakes from start to finish. Besides, Natalie felt that Ned had ulterior motives when it came to Skylar.

As she stared at his face, a series of suspicions flooded her mind. She was convinced that Ned was indeed Joe. It didn’t make sense that two people who weren’t related by blood could look so alike.

It wasn’t just a resemblance. They were the same person. Natalie felt certain of it.

On top of that, she couldn’t stand Rosa. Seeing her upset made Natalie happy.

At this moment, morals were the least of her concerns. Rosa’s misfortune was her source of satisfaction.

Rosa’s eyes widened. “Ned, why don’t you get a lawyer to handle this? You have so much work to deal with. There’s no need to waste your time talking to them in person.

“It’s just a matter of compensation, anyway. Or, we could wait until all my medical tests are done, and I can talk to them later.”

She didn’t want Skylar and Ned to have any private interaction. Moreover, there was a touch of guilt gnawing at her over the fact that Skylar had blocked Ned on WhatsApp.

“There’s no need. I’ll talk to her now. You go back to your ward and rest.” Ned’s tone was firm and left no room for debate.

For a moment, Rosa was at a loss for words.

Turning to Skylar, Ned said, “Let’s talk at the café across from the hospital. It’s quiet and a good place to discuss this.”

After speaking, Ned turned and walked off without waiting for Skylar’s response. Rosa bit her lip and glanced back at Skylar, her eyes filled with a mix of frustration and unease.

Once they were gone, Natalie turned to Skylar and said, “Skylar, can you help me handle the negotiation? I asked the car dealership about the repair costs for my car. They said it

amounted to a few thousand dollars. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Plus, with my injuries and hospital stay, that adds another 18,000 dollars. Not to mention the concussion and lost wages from work. In total, it’s going to be at least 100,000 dollars.”

She didn’t really need the 100,000 dollars, but she wanted to make sure the person at fault paid for their mistakes.

“Alright, I’ll handle it. You just focus on resting. Call me if you need anything,” Skylar agreed.

Although she wasn’t keen on facing Ned, considering how awkward it was to discuss matters in this situation, she knew she had to fight for Natalie’s rights.

The café across the hospital wasn’t large, and there weren’t many people around. It was quiet, the perfect setting for their conversation.

“What would you like to drink?” Ned asked.

Skylar shook her head. “I don’t usually drink coffee at this time. Just water will do.”

Ned ordered a glass of water and a latte from the waiter.

Skylar lowered her gaze, trying to figure out how to bring up the 100,000–dollar-

compensation. She hoped her conversation with Ned wouldn’t take too long. She feared Rosa would overthink it and start bothering her again.

While she was lost in thought, Ned suddenly asked, “Why did you block me?”

Skylar was taken aback, not expecting him to ask that.

“pidn’t

‘Didn’t Ms. Reese mention it to you?”

“Her?” Ned raised an eyebrow. Upon seeing Skylar’s shocked expression, he quickly deduced

the reason.

It seemed that when he forgot his phone, Rosa had used it to video call her.

Realizing Ned’s reaction, Skylar pieced together what had happened. Rosa had secretly made her a video call without Ned’s knowledge.

Just yesterday, she had assumed that Ned was right there beside Rosa.

But none of that mattered now.

“Let’s talk about the accident. Ms. Reese rear–ended my friend at full speed, making her fully responsible for this incident. Therefore, you’ll need to cover the costs of the repairs, as well as my friend’s hospital bills and other related expenses,” Skylar said to Ned calmly.
