My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400 

Janet thought Skylar was still too young. She just couldn’t hold her composure. She tried to show off her knowledge before Gloria, but now it was backfiring on her. 

Joe glanced at Janet. He hadn’t noticed her much before, but now he found her chatter annoying. 

Gloria subtly furrowed her brow, her voice slightly cold, “You seem to know a lot.” 

“I don’t know much,” Janet replied, “but auction houses rarely make mistakes. If this painting by Viola was a fake, wouldn’t that damage their reputation?” 

Janet felt her argument was quite logical. 

Gloria wanted to roll her eyes. These people didn’t know any better than Skylar. She was Viola’s apprentice, always by her side. 

If Skylar said it wasn’t Viola’s work, then it definitely wasn’t. Besides, Gloria had never heard of Viola painting self–portraits. 

“Maybe the auction house was also deceived,” Skylar said calmly. She wouldn’t speak on matters she 

wasn’t sure of. 

She had to do her due diligence and inform Viola that it wasn’t Viola’s work. After all, Gloria was interested in the painting solely because it was supposedly Viola’s. 

“There’s nothing else worthwhile today. It’s not worth wasting our time. Skylar, let’s go,” Gloria said, not wanting to spend another moment with Janet.. 

They had never been close, and just because they were older now didn’t mean they would get along any better. Gloria wouldn’t have come if it weren’t for the rumor about Viola. 

“Yes, Grandma.” Skylar helped Gloria stand up, and the three of them left the auction. 

Janet was too stunned to react. When she finally did, she muttered, “Why did they leave so suddenly?” 

She still had so much to say! That woman, aside from being pretty, had nothing on her granddaughter. 

How could Gloria’s judgment be so poor in her old age, falling for the tricks of a cunning girl? 

“As long as they’re not married, my granddaughter still has a chance!” 

After leaving the auction, Gloria got into Skylar’s car instead of Joe’s.. 

Skylar was worried that Gloria might feel uncomfortable, so she drove slowly, with Joe’s car close behind her. 

When they reached a turn, Joe’s car moved ahead and signaled for Skylar to pull over. 

Skylar rolled down her window as Joe approached. 

“is something wrong?” she asked. She couldn’t understand why they were stopping midway. 

sent the driver home. I’m going to ride with you to Pearhall Residence,” Joe said 

Riding alone wasn’t very appealing to him. 

Gloria frowned, “Skylar’s car isn’t big it’s fine for the two of us, but you’ll take up too much space. 

She was having a perfect chat with Skylar. Joe was being such a bother 

Joe maintained a straight face, although he could clearly feel Gloria’s disdain for him. 

“The driver has already left.”
