    Natalie rushed to the airport three dayster to see off Skr. Seeing Skr heading toward the airport terminal filled her with a sense of reluctance. She didn’t even nce at Joe, who stood beside Skr. Howe you’re leaving so soon? Didn’t you say you’d stay a couple more days?”


    Last night, they talked on the phone and said they could hang out for another couple more days, but this morning, she was told they were heading back to Jipsburg. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Natalie had distanced herself from him since she learned about Joe’s behind–the–scenes entanglement with Vera. Anyone who wronged Skr was her enemy.

    “Mr. Gardner Senior said there’s an urgent matter that can’t wait. I need <i>to </i>get back as soon as possible. I’ll wait for you toe back to Jipsburg,” Skr said as she embraced Natalie, feeling a tinge of sadness


    herself.


    Joe had workmitments too.


    During their time in Fachington, Joe had umted a lot of work back in Jipsburg. Garth and Ernest had recently been involved in many ndestine activities, creating numerous problems. Gloria’s health had also seemed to deteriorate in the past few days.


    With so many issues piling up, their trip had to be cut short. “Alright, see you back in Jipsburg,” Natalie


    said.


    As she was about to leave, she nced at Joe, intending to say something. But she decided against it. thinking it might not be helpful for Skr. She gave Joe a frustrated look and then averted her gaze.


    She watched as the two of them made their way into the airport terminal.


    Once they were inside, Joe asked, “Does Natalie have something against me? When did I offend her?”


    Skr nced back at the airport, noticing that Natalie had already left.


    It seemed that Natalie had picked up on the tension between her and Joe, leading to a bit of hostility toward him. Natalie had always been someone who fiercely stood against what she perceived as wrongdoing.


    Skr smiled and said, “You might need to ask her yourself. I’m not really sure.”


    Joe’s brows furrowed, but he chose not to pursue the matter further.


    Inside the hotel, Vera, dressed in an elegant long gown, knocked a few times on the door.


    There was no response from the room. Over the past three days, Vera had scarcely seen Joe.


    Each time she tried to find him, he was either out with Skr or had gone to bed early upon returning.


    Their paths had barely crossed.


    They alsomunicated via WhatsApp and had previously mentioned they could revisit the old ces together. However, that opportunity hadn’te until today.


    At that moment, a hotel staff member approached Vera and informed her, “The guests staying in this room checked out this morning.”


    “Checked out?” Vera was taken aback.


    Vera wondered if they had returned to Jipsburg or moved to another hotel. She hurried back to <b>her </b>room

    and knocked on the door of the adjacent room, but there was no answer. They had truly left.


    She immediately called Molly. “You’re lying to me.”


    “How could I possibly be lying?” Molly replied.
