Richest Mogul

Chapter 1245

Rosa knew that Ned was usually reserved, so after reminding him, she left in her high heels.

Once the door was closed, Ned walked over to his desk and opened his laptop, then accessed a file. The file contained information about Skylar

It included details like how Skylar had a boyfriend since high school, but they eventually broke up. Afterward, she worked in antique restoration, resigned, and then went to Murida for three years, returning only recently.

Her family consisted of two older brothers and one younger brother. The older brothers were successful in their careers, and her younger brother was excelling at university, with a bright future even before graduation.

However, there was no clear information about her relationship with Joe in the file, just a few candid photos of them dining together.

Joe had a fiancée and childhood friend, Vera Ruell. So, could it be that Skylar was secretly…

Ned stopped himself from thinking further. Based on what he knew about Skylar, she wouldn’t become Joe’s mistress. Moreover, he instinctively believed that if Joe liked Skylar, it would be

sincere. He wouldn’t treat her as a mere mistress.

Just as he realized that he was defending Skylar in his thoughts, an incoming call interrupted

him. novelbin

“Mr. Sowle, as you instructed, all of Claudio’s dirt has been posted online. The situation is escalating, and he won’t be able to get out of it anytime soon.”

Hearing this, Ned responded simply, “Make sure your tracks are covered. Don’t let anyone trace it back to you.”

“Understood, Mr. Sowle. You can count on me.”

Rosa arrived at a restaurant as agreed. The detective was already waiting for her.

“These are the information I found on Skylar Sullivan.” The detective handed Rosa a folder.

Rosa took the folder and pulled out the documents and photos inside. When she saw some photos of Ned with Skylar, her eyes widened. “He…”

“The person in these photos was Joe Martin, not Mr. Sowle,” the detective quickly clarified.

Rosa nodded, realizing her mistake. She had seen photos and news reports of Joe before, and it was indeed striking how similar he and Ned looked.

In the photos, Joe and Skylar weren’t engaging in any intimate behavior. They were just

having a meal at a restaurant. However, even in the stillness of the images, the way they looked at each other conveyed Joe’s evident care for Skylar.

This was the same look she had seen on Ned’s face when he looked at Skylar at the car accident site the previous day. She gripped the photos tightly, not noticing that they were becoming crumpled in her hands.

“After Mr. Martin’s death in Murida, Skylar stayed there for years without returning,” the detective said.

Rosa snapped out of her thoughts and spoke with a hint of disdain, “If I’m not mistaken, she has always been Joe’s mistress. I never expected that even with such a status, she would still cling to her feelings and stay in Murida for three years.”

And now, she?

after meeting Ned, Skylar was itching to become someone’s mistress again, wasn’t

Wasn’t she making her intentions obvious by appearing in front of Ned time and again?

“There was no conclusive evidence proving that she was Mr. Martin’s mistress, and with his passing, there was no way to verify it. Ms. Reese, this is all the information I could find on Skylar Sullivan. It may not be possible to dig up more,” the detective explained.

Rosa nodded, reviewed the documents, and then handed them back to the detective. “Shred these off. Let’s act as if today’s meeting never happened.”

“Understood.”

After the detective left, Rosa thought for a moment before taking her phone out and dialing Skylar’s number.
