Chapter 75
People should take responsibility for their actions. How could Christopher shift the me onto
Skr?
After drinking the ss of water, Skr still felt a bit thirsty, so she poured another one.
Smiling, she said, “You’re absolutely right. You’re so young but so perceptive. You sure have a
bright future ahead of you.”
In her past life, some people had spoken ill of Christopher, but she believed they didn’t truly unde
and him. Yet Christopher had deceived her for over seven years.
Caleb froze. “Really?”
“Absolutely. You have potential, and you’re also right about my breakup with that scumbag. Is there
anything else you’d like to ask?” Skr smiled.
Caleb had thought he would need to give Skr a lengthy lecture to open her eyes to the truth
about Christopher and help her recognize that he was trustworthy.
But she had already seen through Christopher’s true colors on her own.
Caleb didn’t know how to proceed. He scratched his head. “I guess I was worrying for nothing.”
“That’s not true. After what you said, I can see the true colors of that scumbag even more clearly. I’ll
never believe his lies again.”
Skr took off her apron and grabbed her bag from the storage cab.
Caleb’s eyes sparkled. “Really? That’s great. I know so many girls who are blinded by love. They

listen, no matter what others say.”
“Lookers–on see most of the game, or maybe those people are just really good at disguising
themselves. You often have to pay a heavy price to see through a scumbag’s true colors.”
A glint of pain shed in Skr’s eyes. It seemed like she had been deeply hurt.
Caleb was taken aback by that. He ced a hand over his heart, feeling a sudden ache.
“Are you… really okay?” he asked cautiously.
“I’m fine,” Skr said, ncing at the time. “I have to go. I have ns with friends at 6:00 pm.”
Caleb blinked several times. Noticing no sadness on Skr’s face, he realized he had been
imagining too much. “Oh, I just remembered something. Have you sent your résumé to Mr. Gardner

team?”
If Skr joined Alexander’s team, he would often get to see her in the future.
Skr had reached the door by then and nced back at Caleb. “Yes, but his team requires
experience and expertise. I’m afraid I won’t make it. Anyway, thank you. I have to go. See you
tomorrow.”
“You’ll definitely- Before Caleb could finish his sentence, Skr had already walked out.
Suddenly, an idea struck him. He decided not to go home yet. He’d go buy Alexander’s favorite food
to please him.
He had to make sure Alexander agreed to interview Skr.
Once Skr got the interview opportunity, Alexander would surely be surprised by her
performance.
Skr and Natalie had arranged to meet at a restaurant.
It was a ce they had frequented since their freshman year of college. The ce was not very big,
but the food was affordable and delicious.
Whenever they visited after graduation, they reminisced about their college days. The taste
remained unchanged, evoking nostalgia.
As they sat down, the owner recognized them. “Did you both graduate from that nearby college?”
“Yeah, we graduated over half a year ago–We came all the way here today just to have your stew.
It’s a one–hour drive, but totally worth it,” Natalie replied.
The owner couldn’t stop smiling. “We’re closing down, so this might be yourst chance to enjoy our
stew. I’ll give you some extra side dishes today.”
Skr was surprised. “Why are you closing down?”
“We’re all going to be relocated. This entire area is being demolished. Martin Group bought the
land. It seems some bigwigs are here today to inspect the area, probably to check the situation.”
The owner pointed outside, where a group of people was gathered.
Skr and Natalie looked over.
When Skr spotted Joe in the midst of the crowd, she froze.
