Chapter 192


    At the Gardner Group building, by the time Christopher hurried over, it was already 4:00 pm. By this time, people in the building were gradually leaving the office.


    He had spent a long time at the hospital. Not only that, he had also sold the house, borrowed money from rtives, and even cashed out credit cards. He had even borrowed money from college ssmates and tried various online lending tforms.


    ????


    Finally, he gathered enough money for his mother’s surgery. The surgery appointment was also set. He had initially nned to wait until after his mother’s surgery to settle things with Skr.


    But unexpectedly, Skr’s lover wasn’t Paul as he had thought. Instead, it was Joe–the person he dared not even think about!


    Had Skr changed? Christopher thought she never cared about her boyfriend’s background. She had supposedly never cared about wealth before. Yet, now she willingly became Joe’s lover and allowed herself to be his ything


    They had been together for seven years! In all those seven years, she wouldn’t let him touch her, but she let Joe touch her. He couldn’t ept this because if she had let him sleep with her, he wouldn’t have slept with Maisy at all.


    He nced at the Gardner Group building that seemingly towered into the clouds. It was a ce many people wanted to enter but couldn’t. When Skr was his girlfriend, she liked to visit museums, stroll through streets selling antiques, and read history books in the library.


    Just because she loved reading books and appreciated antiques, it didn’t mean she knew how to restore them. Skr could only have gotten a job here because of Joe.


    For ordinary people, the selection process to make it into Alexander’s team seemed to be fair and based on ability. But for the truly affluent families, those were merely rules set for ordinary people.


    Skr had broken up with him without any hesitation for these matérial benefits!


    He waited for another half an hour before Skr finally walked out of the building. She seemed to be a


    little tired. She hadn’t even eaten lunch that day because she had focused all her attention and energy on


    her restoration work.


    Although she appeared calm and collected, as if she <b>didn’t </b>care much about money, that was just keeping up appearances in front of others. She actually cared a lot.

    This weekend, she would find time to look at some properties. She wanted to buy a house of her own–a house for their family where her adoptive mother and siblings could live.


    Thinking about this, Skr smiled


    <b>Just </b>as she was about to head to the parking lot, someone rushed toward her, grabbed her arm, and forcefully dragged her aside.


    Skr was startled. At first, she didn’t recognize Christopher because of his drastic change. He <b>had </b>lost

    “Let go of me!” Skr forcefully pulled her arm back and delivered two ps swiftly, one on each side of Christopher’s cheeks.


    Skr didn’t hold back at all. She had wanted to beat him up a long time ago! Since he came asking for a beating, she wouldn’t deny him that. He more than deserved the beating for what he did in her previous


    life.


    Christopher hadn’t exercised for quite some time; he had given up on himself. Skr’s attack stunned him, causing him to take two steps back.


    “You’ve changed, Skr! You’re different from before! You would never have acted like this in the past. I’ve heard about everything. You’re Joe’s lover, aren’t you? Skr, don’t you know he’s just toying with you? He’ll never marry you or take responsibility for you.”


    Skr raised an eyebrow.
