My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

Richest Mogul 1165

Skylar thought, “Out of service?”

She wondered if Joe’s phone was just turned off or possibly in airplane mode. They might have had an evening flight and were supposed to arrive the next day. With each passing thought, her anxiety intensified.

“What on earth is happening?” she murmured, gazing at the cityscape lit up by night.

Three days had passed in silence without any word from him.

During those days, no matter how many times she called, she only heard that the phone was out of service. She even sought out Jacky and Howard, hoping they would have more insight into Joe’s situation.

Jacky urged her to wait for news while he inquired at the Martin Group.

After contacting the overseas company manager, he learned that Joe and Paul had finished their work four days prior. According to the timeline, they should have returned to Jipsburg three days ago.

Receiving this news hit Skylar like a thunderbolt.

“Mrs. Martin, we can’t reach Mr. Martin or Paul. There’s a strong possibility something has gone wrong. We need to head over there immediately and contact the local police to trace their whereabouts. As Mr. Martin’s wife, your legal status will help us in this matter, and we’ll accompany you.”

Jacky acted swiftly, formulating a response. Skylar’s face turned pale, leaving her at a loss for words. She understood what Jacky was implying.

Joe and Paul were missing, and the situation was likely dire.

Howard’s complexion also turned ashen. “We’re going to Murida?”

“Yes.” Jacky nodded.

Going to Murida meant they would have to reach out to various people. Otherwise, dealing with the local police wouldn’t be easy.

Of course, if Joe was merely missing, they could utilize some resources to locate him. But what

if…

Moreover, they could no longer keep Joe’s disappearance under wraps. The shareholders of the Martin Group were already unable to reach him. Soon enough, news of his troubles in Murida would leak.

When that happened, the Martin family…

All of this was what Skylar had to face, as well as what Gloria had to endure. While Jacky was thinking about this, his phone buzzed with several WhatsApp notifications.

Opening WhatsApp, he saw a news link sent by his office assistant regarding Joe from the Martin Group. His expression darkened immediately.

Someone had already begun to inquire about the situation.

Skylar snapped back to reality amidst the ringing of her phone.

The name “Steven” on her screen reminded her that she was in the real world. The news Jacky had brought back was true, not just a nightmare.

“Steven.”

“I saw the news. Did something happen to Joe? I just took a leave from work to find you. Don’t be scared. I’ll be here to face whatever happens with you. I called Mom and the others earlier. “Don’t worry, I’ve made arrangements. Our priority right now is to get to Murida. Just wait for me, I’m on my way to you,” Steven said, his tone urgent and quick.

Skylar’s eyes brimmed with tears, yet she managed to keep her voice steady. “Okay.”

After hanging up, she looked at Jacky and Howard. “Steven is coming over shortly, and he’ll be joining us to head to Murida.”

“Okay, I’ll book the flight tickets right away,” Howard said immediately.

While Howard booked the flight ticket, Jacky turned to Skylar and said, “Before we leave, we need to check in on Mrs. Martin Senior at Pearlhall Residence.

“The news about Joe’s disappearance will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention, and the Martin family might take advantage of this situation. You should be mentally prepared.”

Skylar felt a pang of pain at the mention of Gloria. She worried about whether Gloria’s health could handle this. She needed to see Gloria right away.

“I’ll head to the Pearlhall Residence now. Please wait here for my brother, Mr. Lourdes. Contact me immediately if anything comes up.” Skylar’s face was pale, but her voice was resolute as she addressed Jacky.

Jacky looked deeply at Skylar. It was impressive how she could stay calm, not crying or panicking during such a difficult time. It was no wonder Joe cared for her so much.
