The Ex-con Queen Strikes Back novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52

Skylar had absolute confidence in her CardioShield capsules.

Besides, with a 300–million licensing fee, Skylar thought she would not lose out.

With just a few quick exchanges, they finalized the deal, called in their lawyers to handle the legal procedures, drafted the contract, and signed it.

Yosef finished signing first. Then he looked up, his gaze lingering on Skylar as she signed.

This was the most peaceful interaction they’d ever had.

As he watched her, he found himself lost in thought.

Skylar was a far cry from her former self. Now, she seemed to glow with a unique charm that made him want to get closer without even realizing it.

Skylar noticed his stare but didn’t say a word. ‘Let him look as he wants. It doesn’t bother me,‘ she thought.

Looking at that 300–million figure, Skylar was over the moon.

As soon as they finished talking, Adam climbed down from his lap, hurried back to Skylar, and waved at him. “Bye, Daddy”

Yosef raised an eyebrow and asked, “Aren’t you coming home with me, Adam?”

“No. I want to stay with Mommy.” Adam clung to Skylar, unwilling to be apart from her even for a moment.

Adam thought anxiously, ‘What if Mommy disappears again as soon as I leave? I just got her back. I can’t lose her now.‘

Yosef didn’t press him. “If you need anything, just give me a call.”

Adam nodded obediently. “Got it, Daddy.”

Right after Yosef left, the media immediately started reporting on their partnership, with some wild and utterly ridiculous stories even suggesting they were discussing marriage.

Skylar was left speechless by these reports and immediately ordered all the news articles and trending topics to be taken down.

Although the takedown was swift, many netizens had already seen and screenshotted the content, sparking another wave of viral spread online.

Elianna was about to lose her mind.

She thought, ‘Skylar is really making her move now. Over my dead body. She won’t get Yosef. I still need to clean up the mess from the last incident. Only then can I deal with Skylar. I’ll let Skylar enjoy her little victory for now.‘

Early adopters swarmed the company’s website, praising Skylar and raving about how effective her CardioShield capsules were.

The CardioShield capsules propelled the company to unprecedented success.

Skylar’s success filled Freya with unease. If this continued, she knew she’d never be able to turn the tables.

Freya was determined to create a signature jewelry piece, hoping it would become the company’s next blockbuster hit, drive its growth, and finally outshine Skylar.

The harder she tried, the more her inspiration failed her.

Freya felt like her head was about to explode from overthinking. Frustrated, she got up and headed for the garden, desperate for some fresh air.

Freya saw a maid coming out of Skylar’s room, carrying a stack of papers.

The papers bore faint markings.

Freya looked closer. The markings faintly resembled design sketches.

Freya asked sharply, “What are all these Skylar told you to throw away?”

The maid explained, “These are discarded sketches. She asked me to throw them away.”

Freya sneered, “Since when did Skylar know anything about designing jewelry?”

With a look of disdain, Freya picked up a sheet of paper, her eyes flickering with disbelief. “How could she possibly have designed this?” she muttered.
