My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1587

Jed, realizing the words he was about to say wasn't appropriate, quickly stopped himself.

After all, he had a crush on Ruth throughout high school. Everyone knew Ruth had fallen ill, and her family had also encountered some trouble.

The news stirred up quite a commotion back then. Many people used to envy Ruth's privileged family background, but after seeing how her parents behaved, everyone started to think differently.

Ruth bit her lip, her face flushed. "I managed to find a suitable kidney donor and successfully underwent surgery. I'm fine now."

"That's great! Congratulations!" Jed said enthusiastically, his eyes scanning Ruth.

He had a feeling that the once untouchable goddess wasn't doing so well these days—perhaps not even as well as he was.

The high school beauty, who had always seemed beyond reach, was now standing right in front of him, and there was even a chance he could win her over effortlessly. How could he possibly let go of such a golden opportunity?

After returning to the country, it was rare for Ruth to meet someone who looked at her with such admiration. She knew Jed had a crush on her back in high school—almost all the boys in her grade had liked her.

Otherwise, Jed wouldn't have been so eager to invite her to dinner. Her vanity was greatly satisfied.

"Alright then," Ruth agreed, her tone lofty and condescending.

…

Skylar had no idea what Ruth did after leaving.

She and Charles were both busy with their own lives. She had forgotten that Ruth had ever shown up after a few days.

She might not have even remembered if it weren't for her sister-in-law, Mona's call.

"Mona."

Ruth? Hearing this, Skylar frowned. "What did she want from you?"

She had assumed Ruth would only pester her and Steven. She didn't expect Ruth to go looking for Mona. Ruth was truly out of her mind!

"It seems you all know she's back. I guess your brother didn't tell me about these messy matters because he didn't want me to feel stressed. I was surprised she came to me. If she hadn't introduced herself, I wouldn't have recognized her.

"She said she's out of money and asked me to give her some. She even said I'm her sister-in-law and should take care of her," Mona explained.

Hearing this reminded her of Maisy from years ago. In certain ways, the two were really quite similar.

Skylar replied sternly, "Mona, don't pay her any attention! She's crazy!"

"I didn't, but… she had injuries on her face. I feel like something might be wrong with her," Mona added.
