Chapter 30


    Joe’s frosty gaze snapped over to Skr, who had pinned a woman on the ground. The woman’s


    face seemed red and swollen from getting beaten up.


    As for Skr, she appeared unwavering and calm. The supple skin on her face made her seem


    fairly


    innocent.


    Joe thought to himself, “It seems she’s recovered.”


    Paul was shocked to see Skr at the scene. His features darkened as he turned to the manager


    right away. “You’d best sort this out.”


    That left the manager in a panic. He couldn’t understand why Joe was there today and had to


    witness such a scene. The manager knew he’d lose his job if he failed to resolve the issue.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Skr realized then that Martin Group owned this hotel and the entire building. That was why Joe


    was


    here.


    Right away, the manager sinctly exined every detail about what had happened earlier and


    how he nned to resolve the matter to Joe.


    Joe tried to gather the reason behind the situation while listening to the manager. Then, his intense


    gaze swept past everyone inside the office. It made them feel suffocated.


    Sadie knew little about thepany’s affairs. Even so, almost everyone in the upper social circles


    had


    heard about Joe..


    Not to mention the fact that, in the past two days, Jeffrey had kept suggesting they find a chance to


    introduce Maisy to Joe.


    Jeffrey hoped that would allow the Williams family to rise in Jipsburg City’s social ranks.


    Sadie was shocked upon seeing Joe. She also felt slight regret about causing trouble for Janine.


    She couldn’t stand that Joe had witnessed Maisy getting beaten up. It was far too damaging to


    Maisy’s image.


    She peered ahead and saw that Skr was still violently pinning Maisy down. It almost made her


    lose


    control over her senses.


    She couldn’t belleve Janine was just watching the fight y out and didn’t bother telling off Skr.


    Still, Sadie soon snapped out of her thoughts and put on a pitiful act like she was the victim. “Get off


    her, Skr! How dare you get physically aggressive?”


    Only then did Janine realize howplicated the situation was. She felt the incident would impact


    Skr, which made her regret being so firm earlier,


    Janine wished she had tolerated things and apologized to Sadie instead. Perhaps the situation


    wouldn’t have gotten thisplicated if she’d acted differently instead.


    The manager happened to notice Janine’s panic. He instantly understood the decision he had to


    make.


    2/2


    After all, he was only sacrificing a housekeeper. Hotel guests were like gods, and that applied even


    more so to guests who were respectable figures.


    “Janine, tell your daughter to let go of our guest at once!” the manager barked.


    “I’m no longer upset. Let’s just drop the matter. Your hotel should run a background check on future


    job. applicants to see if they have kleptomaniac tendencies before hiring them,” Sadie said self–


    righteously.


    Maisy had teared up by then, making her seem extra weak. On the other hand, Skr appeared to


    be the


    bully.


    Skr lifted her knee off Maisy’s


    stomach before standing straight like nothing had happened.


    “Janine, regardless of what happened, you should still apologize to the guest first. The manager no


    longer cared if the women knew each other. He only felt he needed to end the situation well in front


    of


    Joe.


    However, he couldn’t exin why something felt odd about Joe’s and Paul’s demeanors.


    “Do I need to repeat myself? My mom isn’t at fault. These women are the ones framing her. Shall I


    call the police, then?” Skr held Janine’s hand for support.


    Janine spoke in a low voice, “Skye, I’ll just apologize and end this situation for good.”


    Skr shook her head to make her stance known. She knew that letting Maisy and Sadie have their


    way would only inte their egos. It would make them more shameless in the future.


    “How dare you?” Sadie was livid because of Skr.


    Maisy acted like she was afraid of Skr. She lowered her head and bit her lip before murmuring,


    “Your


    even hit me earlier…”


    Skr was used to seeing Maisy’s sly act of being the victim. She shot a half–smile at thetter


    while saying, “The police will say I was only defending myself a little too well. Besides, would I have


    hit you if


    you hadn’t tried to p me?”


    “Yeah, Skye would never make the first move in a fight,” Janine testified.


    Joe red at Sadie before staring deeply into Skr’s eyes. His and Skr’s gazes met, but none


    of the others around them noticed.
