Richest Mogul

Chapter 837

On the contrary, Skylar looked like an elegant black swan. In other words, she had a better figure than a model. She was dangerously attractive.

However, Felicia believed that her outfit contributed to that. Seeing how it looked on Skylar drove her to try it on.

“My apologies. We only have a singular piece for this outfit,” said the promoter.

“Why would that be?” Annoyance twisted her features.

Felicia was no longer a celebrity. She had to return to Ingram Residence and was forced to join her family’s company. She was being controlled at every turn, and she loathed it. In addition, all her family members were terrified of offending Joe because of her. Life was looking down.

She’d gone shopping as a reprieve from her daily life. Felicia used to have brands deliver the season’s newest arrivals to her doorstep.

Upon seeing Skylar, she felt immensely uncomfortable. A complicated mix of emotions swirled within

Felicia.

It was all Skylar’s fault!

If Skylar hadn’t stepped in, Felicia would’ve succeeded in forcing Charles out of the entertainment

industry! For the past few weeks, she hadn’t dared to leave the house in fear of getting laughed at. She wasn’t expecting to run into Skylar on her first foray back into public.

Skylar didn’t want that outfit. She told the promoter, “I don’t really like his outfit. You can give it to her.

Just as Skylar finished speaking, Joe countered, “The outfit isn’t bad. We’ll take it.”

He had been replying to a message and hadn’t gotten the chance to take a good look at her outfit.

Now, his Adam’s apple bobbed upon seeing the dress hugging her figure. Many people shared this style but none looked as good as Skylar. At least, that was what he thought.

The promoter replied immediately, “Alright!”

If Skylar continued refusing, it would make her out to be too pretentious. Thus, she didn’t speak out against it. She immediately went back to the changing room and changed back into her clothes. NôvelDrama.Org content.

This outfit couldn’t be worn just yet. In a few days, temperatures would drop. This dress would be perfect

in that weather.

Felicia was happily surprised by Skylar’s treatment of her as a stranger. She was ecstatic to be in Joe’s

presence too.

When Felicia thought of how similar she looked with Skylar, her eyes flashed. As Skylar entered the changing room, she said, “Mr. Martin, what happened between Skylar and me was a misunderstanding. Upon reflecting on it, I realized that it was my fault. Could you give me a chance to re–enter the entertainment industry?”

Felicia had had it with her current situation. She was stifled by the atmosphere with the Ingrams.

All her old friends began keeping their distance from her. Her suitors had disappeared as well. Felicia no longer wanted to live a life of getting ignored by others

Joe was expressionless. He stared at Felicia as though she was a stranger to him. Then, he asked, “Who are you?”

“Mr. Martin, don’t you recognize me?”

How could this be? They’d seen each other multiple times.

Joe’s eyes darkened. He didn’t reply. His patience was dissipating.

Embarrassment colored Felicia’s features. Thankfully, she’d grown a little smarter.

“I… I was being too presumptuous. My apologies.”

Then, she escaped from the boutique.

Just as she left, Jeremy walked in with a short–haired beauty on his arm.

She carried a new, limited–edition purse. She praised, “Mr. Hughes, I love the pieces from this boutique. It accentuates my curves.”

They were lost in each other’s eyes and oblivious to everything else around them.

Joe glared at them. Upon seeing the woman beside Jeremy, he raised a brow.

At the same time, Skylar came out of the changing room and said to Natalie over the phone, “What a coincidence. I’m…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she caught sight of Jeremy and the beauty by his side. It was the girl she’d seen at the café.

Jeremy realized someone was observing him. He glanced away from the girl and met eyes with Skylar and Joe.
