Richest Mogul 1095
Perhaps things would now look very different.
โLeaving Jipsburg will be good for you,โ Rowan finally told Jenny.
She paused, wanting to turn around, but resisted.
She feared that if she looked back now, she might lose her composure again, giving rise to hopes she shouldnโt have.
After calming down herself, Jenny understood that Rowan would never be with her. Now, she felt a sense of relief.
Leaving Jipsburg and getting away from Edwin would be the best option.
As she sat in the cab, she glanced back through the rearview mirror. Rowan was still standing where she left him, lost in thought. He was definitely not thinking about her.
From today onward, their relationship was truly over.
Skylar and Joe arrived at the underground parking lot one after the other. After parking their cars side by side, they went home together.
As soon as they stepped inside, Skylar received a call from Minerva.
โDo you have time tonight? Letโs have a drink,โ Minerva said, her voice desolate. Even over the phone, Skylar could sense her emotions.
Skylar glanced at Joe. โSure. Where are you? Iโll come to you.โ
โIโm at home. I ordered some wine and had the hotel send some food over. It seems like everyoneโs in a bad mood lately, so letโs drink and drown our sorrows,โ Minerva replied.
In her eyes, Joe and Rowan were not much different.
Now that Joe was engaged to someone else and Skylar had been abandoned, even the most easy-going person would feel down in such a situation.
And when feeling down, having a drink wouldnโt hurt.
After hanging up, Skylar looked up and found Joe staring at her with a hint of grievance.
โMinervaโs in a bad mood, so Iโm going to keep her company,โ she explained quickly.
Joeโs eyes darkened. โIโm in a bad mood too.โ
Lately, he noticed more and more people trying to get close to Skylar. Besides her brothers, there was Natalie and now Minerva. There was also Aiken who was eyeing her secretly. It felt like no matter what, he couldnโt keep up with all the competition.
Seeing Joe acting like a child throwing a tantrum, Skylar couldnโt help but laugh. โIโll be back tomorrow, and Iโll cook dinner for you. Just tell me what you want. Tonight, make sure you get some rest.โ
With that, she walked out the door without hesitation.
Watching her leave so casually, Joeโs mouth twitched in frustration, and his dissatisfaction only grew.
Skylar was very familiar with the route and arrived at Minervaโs house quickly.
She had already opened several bottles of wine, all of which had been in her collection for a long time.
Seeing Skylarโs calm expression, Minerva admired her even more. โI should learn from you. How can you let go of someone so quickly and not let them affect you at all?โ
โI canโt completely let go of someone I loved deeply in an instant either,โ Skylar said, understanding what Minerva admired about her.
It was likely the same thing as what Rowan thoughtโthat she and Joe were divorced, yet they remained calm toward each other. Not many people could manage that after a breakup.
However, in reality, Skylar and Joe had never divorced.
Minerva assumed Skylar was being humble. โNeither Rowan nor Joe are good men! No, there arenโt many good men in this world. Trusting a man is less reliable than trusting yourself.โ
โRowan already broke up with Jenny,โ Skylar said suddenly.
