My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



40 minutes later, Skylar and Steven arrived at the police station almost simultaneously. The bodyguards Aiken had sent to protect Mona quietly observed from the sidelines.

When they saw Skylar, the three of them nodded in her direction. Skylar returned the gesture. Their efforts had been crucial-without them, Mona might not have been rescued so swiftly.

Even though Mona had called the police, response time was always a factor. Neither Ruth nor Jed had anticipated someone secretly guarding Mona, nor had they expected her to remain so composed and immediately alert the authorities.

Mona had stayed remarkably calm throughout the ordeal. The moment she saw Steven, she walked directly to him, and the couple embraced tightly. Steven, still visibly shaken, carefully examined Mona. "Did they hurt you?" he asked.

Mona shook her head. "Don't worry. I'm fine. I could tell this was their first time abducting someone. They were inexperienced. And I had set up my phone before I left, so when I realized something was off, I called the police right away."

"That's a relief," Steven said, the tension lifting from his shoulders. But his eyes were still dark with anger.

Mona suddenly noticed Skylar and turned to her. "I'm sorry to cause you worry. I heard from the people who rescued me that you had them secretly protect me a few days ago, fearing something might happen."

She truly felt grateful to Skylar. After learning that Ruth had been secretly following her, Skylar had arranged for someone to protect her. If it hadn't been for Ruth's attempt to abduct her, Mona might never have realized how much Skylar cared about her well-being.noveldrama

Skylar smiled and said, "I just thought Ruth had lost her mind and might hurt you. I hope you don't mind."

Mona shook her head. "How could I mind? I know you were looking out for me."

If it had been any other family, a sister-in-law might simply warn, "Be careful out there." But Skylar had gone above and beyond, paying people to protect her.

After they had finished speaking, Steven looked over at the police officer standing nearby. "Can I see Ruth?"

"Sure, the suspect has been asking for you," the police said.

The case was clear-cut, with undeniable evidence. Ruth would face the consequences of her actions. Skylar said, "I'll take Mona home first."

"I'll go home with Skylar. Don't worry,

and don't get too angry with Ruth.

She will pay for everything she's done," Moha said, feeling exhausted after the ordeal. Being pregnant made everything even more tiring.

As soon as she saw Steven and Skylar, she lost all her strength. She just wanted to go home and rest.

Steven nodded, trusting Skylar to take care of Mona. But he had to go see Ruth.

20 minutes later, Steven met Ruth.

She had just been brought in and didn't seem to fully grasp the gravity of the situation. When she saw Steven, she immediately shouted, "Tell the police to let me go! I didn't do anything. Mona is fine, so why amt being held here?"

She was furious with Mona. It had been such a simple matter-if Mona had just cooperated and they had secured the money, there would have been no need for drastic measures. But Mona had called the potice, and now everything had spiraled out of control.
