Chapter 430


    In the end, Skr didn’t get her break.


    Joe cradled her limp body in his embrace <b>as </b>she drifted to sleep.


    <b>As </b>Joe listened to Skr’s calm breathing, he nced at her swollen lips and kissed her. He couldn’t help himself. He thought it wouldn’t be so bad if they spent the rest of their lives together.


    They were perfect for each other in more ways than one.


    Gloria <b>had </b>just taken her medication and <b>was </b>about to go for her afternoon nap when Edgar came in to announce the arrival of Skr’s biological father, Jeffrey. He was here to meet <b>her</b>.


    She knew about what happened to the Williams family. She’d even asked Joe about it after witnessing <b>the </b>trouble that they’d caused.


    Upon hearing how the Williams family treated Skr, she didn’t have a good impression of them.


    They wouldn’t havee if they had nothing to gain from her. This family was motivated by nothing but personal interest. They definitely wanted something from her.


    Gloria could see past their tricks. After a moment of consideration, she asked Edgar to show them in.


    She wanted to see how shameless the Williamses could be. Thinking of how Skr had suffered at their hands, she yearned to stir up mayhem in their family.


    Karma would bite back at them for their horrible treatment of Skr.


    Jeffrey <b>and </b>Peter were rather nervous as they waited outside, their hands weighed down by expensive gifts. They were terrified that they’d be barred from even entering.


    The luxuriousness of Pearlhall Residence exceeded the limits of their imagination.


    Everyone in Jipsburg City knew how powerful the Martins were in the city.


    They had done little research on the Martins. They only knew that they were a family they couldn’t even hope to cling to. Now that <b>they’d </b>seen Pearlhall Residence, fear and horror began to w at them.


    They didn’t know whether they’d made the right choice.


    Whether it was correct or not, they had no other alternative. Theirpany was about to be finished, and so were the Williamses.


    They felt like they were dreaming as they were led into the mansion.


    Before long, they met Gloria.


    Jeffrey presented his gifts, saying. “These are some gifts from us. I hope you’ll ept them.”


    Gloria nced at them coldly and replied, “I don’t need them.”N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.

    “This…” Jeffrey hesitated. His outstretched hand froze in ce as he deliberated on whether to <b>put </b>down his gifts or continue trying to offer them to Gloria. He did his best to continue smiling <b>through his</b>


    embarrassment. After putting his gifts down stiffly, he turned to nce at <b>Peter</b>.


    Peter wasn’t quite brave enough to make <b>eye </b>contact with Gloria. Her gaze <b>seemed </b>to pierce through <b>him</b>.


    Gloria raised an eyebrow coldly and asked, “Tell me. Why did you want to see me?”


    The behavior of the Williamses was uneptable.


    It was a blessing that they hadn’t raised Skr. If they had, she would’ve been raised into an idiot, no matter how talented she might’ve been.


    Jeffrey continued grinning. He tried to appease Gloria and said, “We found out that your grandson and my daughter, Skr, have gotten together. I don’t know how long they’ve been together. As her father, I can’t watch Skr run around with Joe without abel on their rtionship. So, I wanted to discuss this with


    you.”


    “You don’t have a say in Skr’s affairs,” snapped Gloria.


    The smile froze on Gloria’s face.


    Still, Jeffrey continued, “I’m Skr’s biological father. Of course I have a say!”
