My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1628

At first, Ruth hadn't fully grasped the severity of her situation. But as the days passed, the reality became unmistakably clear.

Without a letter of recommendation and with Mona relentlessly pressing charges, she knew her chances of avoiding prison were slim. There was still a chance, however, if Mona spoke up for her, framing the whole ordeal as a misunderstanding. If that happened, Ruth might escape jail time.

Ruth looked at Skylar with a hopeful expression. She had already lowered herself as much as she could, so surely Skylar would take the opportunity to help.

Once Steven, Charles, and Harvey welcomed her back into the fold, she would speak highly of Skylar in front of them.

For Skylar, it would be a win-win situation. Skylar understood what Ruth was trying to do, and it was clear that Ruth had no remorse for her actions.

She still dreamed of escaping the consequences. Asking Skylar to intervene with Steven and Mona was a flawed logic, and Skylar knew it.

Ruth stared at Skylar, her frown deepening. "Why aren't you saying anything? This wouldn't be hard for you. If you help me, I'll treat you like a sister. It's a win-win for you," she insisted.

Skylar smiled coldly. "I have no relationship with you, and neither do Steven, Charles, or Harvey. The only way you'll get out of here is by facing the law and truly realizing your mistakes.

"You chose to abduct Mona and extort money with your accomplices, so you should understand the consequences. Make sure you reflect on your actions and reform while you're in there!"

"What did you say? I've already acknowledged my mistake. Why are you still being so unforgiving? Wait a second… I'm also a victim here.

"It was Jed—he threatened me and forced me to help him abduct Mona. It wasn't my idea. I'm innocent!" Ruth shouted, panic in her voice, hoping to get Skylar's help.

But Skylar was too relentless. She refused to help and even took pleasure in making things worse, wanting Ruth to stay behind bars.
