Chapter 50
This was a good sign. It was.
Gloria felt pleased. She looked at Skr and Joe and said, “Edgar sent dinner for me. If you both
don’t mind that the food may be nd, would you like to stay for dinner?”
“Sure,” Skr agreed immediately.
Joe nodded slightly. Normally, he wouldn’t say anything when it wasn’t necessary to do so.
Gloria looked at Joe and harrumphed. “I know that there’s a generation gap between the both of us.
It’s okay if you don’t have much to say to me, but don’t be the same when you’re alone with Skye.”
She wouldn’t forgive him if he scared Skr away!
Joe was speechless.
It was clear to him that Gloria was even more annoyed at him today. He hadn’t done anything
wrong from the time he entered the ward until now, had he?
One hourter, Joe and Skr came out of the hospital. It was 7:00 pm: The sky was starting to
turn dark, and the street lights had been lit.
Skr read the message that Steven sent her. She sent a reply saying that she would be home
soon.
Then, she looked at Joe, who was beside her. “Mr. Martin, I won’t be going back to Gxy Vi for
now. I
have to go back to my mom’s ce.”
The look in Joe’s eyes was deep. He noticed that Skr wasn’t showing any sign of anxiety.
When they’d been with Gloria earlier, she hadn’t seemed to be panicking or feeling miserable over
being ndered. It was as if nothing had happened.
He pursed his lips slightly.
“Have you seen the trending topic on the inte?” he asked.
Skr was stunned. She figured that he had found out. So, she nodded and replied, “Yeah, I’ve
seen it. I also know what the Williamses n to do to me. I will think of a solution.”
Joe was about to respond when Skr’s phone rang.
She nced at her phone. She bid Joe goodbye before answering the call as she walked toward
the
parking lot.
“Hey, Charles. I just left the Hospital. It’s not far from home, so I’ll be back real soon. Yeah, don’t
worry…
Joe’s eyes deepened as he watched Skr walk further away from him.
Paul walked over to him from a short distance away. A man in a suit, who looked like he was in his
mid-
30s, followed behind him.
When Paul reached Joe, he looked around. “Where’s Ms. Sullivan, Mr. Martin?”
The other man, Jacky Lourdes, also greeted Joe. “Hi, Mr. Martin.”
Joe’s face was cold. “She just left.”
“What?” Paul was surprised.
2/7
Things were getting fierce on the inte. The Williamses had never considered whether Skr
would be
forced to stay in hiding.
Their public rtions efforts were wless. Would Skr be hurt by everything the Williams family
was
doing?
“I’ll hurry on to look for Ms. Sullivan then. I’ll keep watch over her so that she doesn’t do anything
stupid!” Paul took out his phone and started looking for Skr’s number.
There were too many trolls on the inte these days. There were many who ended up attempting
suicide or getting depressed thanks to them. He wanted to dissuade Skr from all those things.
“She won’t do anything stupid,” Joe said in a deep voice.
Then, he looked toward Jacky, who was dressed in his neat suit. “How soon will you be able to
resolve
this?”
“I can resolve it within an hour as long as I have your permission, Mr. Martin. I have liaised with the
PR team. Sarah Nielson has started working on the PR article,” Jacky exined.
Jacky’s tone might have sounded rather arrogant. But this wouldn’te as a surprise to those

knew him.
He was the legal advisor hired by Martin Group. He was also the person in charge of thergestw
firm in Jipsburg City. He had never lost a single case.
Joe narrowed his eyes. He took a quick nce toward the direction where Skr had gone. “I will
contact
you.”
“Oh? You’re not going to take action now? The Williamses are getting up to too many things. Their
family has people who are involved in the entertainment industry. They have lots of tricks up their
sleeves.”
Paul was shocked. Joe had wanted to help Skr the moment he’d found out about this. Otherwise,
Joe wouldn’t have asked him to seek Jacky out.
But where was his sense of urgency now?
Joe shot Paul a look.
