Richest Mogul

Chapter 1105

Helena glanced at Joe. While everyone was saying that Joe had gone to Fachington with Vera, she knew the truth was that he had been with Skylar.

She had never imagined that, in the end, Joe and Skylar would part ways.

She had a good impression of Skylar. It was clear that people like Joe wouldn’t settle for someone ordinary.

Coming from a modest background and trying to survive in the entertainment industry, she could never catch Jeremy’s eye.

But she realized that she had developed feelings for Jeremy over time.

Just then, Rowan scoffed. “What’s so great about Vera? She was just being delusional. Don’t bring her up around us. It’s a buzzkill.”

He felt the same way about mentioning Lizzie. Rowan believed that Joe was quite heartless, capable of abandoning Skylar without a moment’s hesitation.

Suddenly, he thought of Minerva. He had dropped her for Jenny, and now Minerva hated him

and kept him at arm’s length.

It was only natural. He had been too heartless before. He turned to Joe and asked, “Is Lizzie really that amazing?”

He had specifically asked those who knew Lizzie. She was attractive, with no scandals, and she played the violin, yet played the violin, yet something still felt off.

Joe seemed to read his mind. “Do you want to meet her?” he asked.

“Forget I asked,” Rowan replied, a slight grimace on his face. He thought there was nothing particularly remarkable about her, just a violinist.

To him, Lizzie would never compare to Skylar. He wondered why Joe was so protective of

someone like her.

Luckily, Skylar wasn’t around to witness this scene. It would surely hurt her deeply. Suddenly, he recalled how he had encountered Minerva several times while he was with Jenny.

He wondered if Minerva felt the same way then.

The more he thought about it, the more unsettled he became. “I’m leaving. You all keep drinking,” he said, standing up and stumbling away.

Joe cast a glance at Rowan as he walked away. A heartbreak had helped Rowan grow. However, even though he had matured, some matters between him and Skylar were still not suitable for him to know. It was best to let him continue in his misunderstandings for now.

Once Rowan left, the others also took their partners and departed. Soon, only Jeremy remained.

Everyone could tell that Jeremy wanted to speak with Joe. Helena, being perceptive, stood up and said, “I’ll head to the restroom.”

After Helena left, Jeremy downed a shot of whiskey and said to Joe, “I’ve been trying to blacklist Austin lately, but something feels off about him. Do you know anything about him?”

His attempts to blacklist Austin seemed to have little effect. It was clear that Austin had powerful backing.

Jeremy had attempted to dig deeper but couldn’t uncover anything. This indicated that the people who were backing Austin had considerable influence.

Recently, someone had advised him that blacklisting Austin might be impossible. While he could withdraw investments, someone else would simply take over the projects and funding, leading to only a temporary impact on Austin.

In Jipsburg City, eliminating someone from the entertainment industry was easy for Jeremy. But with Austin, Jeremy faced unexpected challenges.

‘Austin?” Joe asked.

“Yeah,” Jeremy replied.

“Just leave him alone. You won’t be able to blacklist him. His background isn’t simple. Look into the surname Powell. That should give you clarity,” Joe replied, checking the time and Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

standing up.

“I’ll head out now.”

After Joe left, Jeremy frowned and thought, “Investigate the Powell surname?”

He had only thought to look into Austin but had never considered the significance of the surname itself.

Jeremy pressed his fingers to his temples as he thought about Natalie drifting away from him and getting closer to Austin, along with Austin’s evident interest in Natalie. The realization caused a sharp pain to shoot through his head.

“Mr. Hughes, can I give you a ride home?”

Helena returned and noticed Jeremy rubbing his temples, so she approached softly.
