My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1728

The person standing in front of Skylar's car was none other than Alina.

As soon as Alina saw Skylar approaching, she immediately grew tense, her earlier distracted demeanor quickly replaced by discomfort. She nervously met Skylar's gaze.

Skylar's gaze darkened imperceptibly as she saw Alina.

"Skylar, I… just now…" Alina began, her voice faltering. She had prepared reasons in her mind, but as soon as she met Skylar's gaze, all of her excuses felt empty.

Last time, she had been able to believe her own story. But this time, after seeing her at the hospital and hearing Theodore's parents speak of her as the third party, all the explanations she could offer seemed utterly untrustworthy.

"I saw everything just now. You don't need to explain," Skylar cut her off, her voice firm.

She didn't want to listen to Alina's explanation anymore. Having witnessed it twice with her own eyes, what had happened and the truth of the matter was unmistakably clear.

"I…" Alina's face turned pale, even more so than before. Her complexion had already been drained of color, but now she looked even more fragile.

Skylar walked up to the car and opened the door.

Seeing Skylar's demeanor, Alina quickly said, "Skylar, I'm sorry. I don't know what's been going on with me lately. I told myself that Harvey was the one I wanted to spend my life with, but then Theodore, someone who had once dazzled me in my youth, appeared out of nowhere. I've tried to be calm, but I just can't seem to calm my feelings.

"I know I shouldn't have kept my options open, and I never told Harvey the truth. I'm sorry. I'll tell him everything. I… I don't understand why I've become someone so selfish, someone I would've once looked down on."

Skylar paused for a moment after hearing Alina's words, contemplating before responding, "So, you don't love Harvey. You love yourself more."

With that, she opened the car door and got in. Without another word, she drove off.

Alina stood there, watching as the car disappeared, her eyes filling with tears.

She stood frozen for a long time, lost in thought. She thought, "Is it true? When you want everything, you end up with nothing?"

She had no idea how much time passed before her phone's ringtone finally snapped her back to reality.
