Natalie nced at the empty seat beside her and said, “Excuse me, ma’am, there’s a seat avable next to you.”
However, the woman sitting nearby seemed to ignore her<b>, </b>maintaining a nk expression as she continued to stare at Natalie.
Natalie exchanged a look with Skr. Skr felt the woman looked somewhat familiar, but it was hard to tell with sunsses and a mask covering her face.
It seemed like the woman was trying to avoid being photographed.
Just then, the woman spoke up, “I’m Vera.”
“Vera?” Natalie’s eyes widened in surprise.
Although she had never interacted with Vera, she had seen her before. The online news had caused quite
a stir. Vera’s name was now linked to Joe and Lizzie.
Natalie felt relieved that Skr and Joe had managed to keep their marriage private so the news wouldn’t affect Skr directly..
However, it was surprising to run into Vera at the mall while they were just casually strolling after enjoying
their fondue.
With the headlines screaming, if she were Vera, she would likely be hiding at home, waiting for the chaos to settle before stepping outside.
After all, Vera wasn’t even a part of the entertainment industry and had no reason to seek attention. She would want the rumors to fade as quickly as possible.
Given her current disguise, it seemed unnecessary to be out in public.
Skr calmly regarded Vera. “So it’s Ms. Ruell.”
Vera scrutinized Skr from a height of arrogance, expecting Skr to look haggard and heartbroken after being supposedly abandoned by Joe. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.
However, after observing Skr and Natalieughing and chatting happily, Vera realized that Skr appeared neither lonely nor sad.
Seeing Skr soposed and at ease made Vera feel unsettled. “Do you know how Joe met Lizzie?” Vera asked, her voice icy.
Natalie rolled her eyes in disbelief. Vera waspletely out of her mind. The audacity to ask such personal questions was beyond her.
Vera’s high–and–mighty attitude was absurd. Natalie thought it was ridiculous.
Skr’s expression remained cold as she replied, “I don’t know. You’re asking the wrong person.”
“How could you not know? You’re with Joe all the time, living under the same roof. There’s no way you wouldn’t know his rtionship with Lizzie. Did you already know? Is that why you’re so calm now?” Vera’s tone suggested she had figured everything out.
Maybe Skr knew everything, which exined her indifference. It also made Vera wonder if Joe had given Skr enough advantages <b>to </b>keep her feeling secure.
With only two hours <b>of </b>sleep sincest night, Vera found it impossible to ept the situation.

Natalie couldn’t hold back any longer and rolled her eyes again. She said, “Don’t you have too many questions? Why should we answer you? Who do you think you are?”
Skr might be easygoing, but Natalie had a limit. Vera had put on a fa?ade of sophistication and superiority in front of others, but now she came to Skr fully armed, seeking validation.
She couldn’t help but wonder what gave Vera the audacity.
Skr nced at the visibly frustrated Natalie and told Vera, “I have ns with my friend, so you’re free to leave.”
Her tone clearly indicated it was time to go.
However, Vera acted as if she didn’t understand. Peering over her sunsses at Skr, she said, “I’m sure you know something. Just tell me what you want. I just want to know if Joe likes Lizzie.”
“You’re asking the wrong person. Go ask Joe directly.” Skr had lost all patience with Vera.
She realized then that Vera was pretending to be indifferent about Joe in front <i>of </i>others, but it was all a fa?ade.
