Chapter 159


    Many experienced such warmth in a family. Although Skr’s family was far from wealthy, they


    nevercked the good things in life.


    Joe was increasingly interested as he listened to Skr’s story. “You enjoyed fighting when you


    were young?”


    Skr’s face flushed with embarrassment. “You’ve seen me fight on several asions, but those


    were exceptional circumstances. Kenny and Maisy provoked me first.


    “I used to hope to be a part of their family. So, I would endure and strive for peace. But now,


    they are worthless in my eyes. If I don’t take action and teach them a lesson, they’ll only be


    more audacious.”


    She would’ve done far worse if it weren’t for thew. Her experience from her past life made her


    resent the Williams family with every fiber of her being.


    Joe certainly noticed how much she hated the Williamses. He smiled in amusement and said,


    “They’re indeed asking for trouble bullying you. They’d be bankrupt in no time. Is that what


    you want?”


    “Of course that’s what I want,” Skr admitted, her voice devoid of pretense. She would never


    forgive the


    Williamses.


    Skr made her intentions clear on the day they got married. She wanted Joe to cease all


    cooperation with the Williams family and withdraw any assistance previously provided. She was


    waiting for their downfall, for them to savor the taste of hell.


    Joe faintly smiled. “Alright.”


    Skr found herself surprised by Joe’s talkativeness that night. She wondered if he was


    considering terminating the agreement early. Was that why he offered the goodwill in advance, so


    there wouldn’t be any lingering worries upon divorce?


    “Mr. Martin, I’d like to discuss something with you,” said Skr.


    The use of “Mr. Martin” caused a crease to form on Joe’s brow. “Alright, go ahead.”


    “I haven’t told my family about our covert marriage. My big brother sensed something was up when


    Ist met him, so I had to tell him I was married.

    “He’s always been eager to meet my husband, and I know you can’t meet him, so I n to find


    someone


    online to act as a stand–in,” Skr exined.


    With the advanced Inte, she could easily hire someone to y the part. Steven wouldn’t


    suspect anything as long as she found someone with good acting skills.


    Joe’s frown deepened.


    Skr couldn’t quite figure out what he was thinking at that moment.


    “If he wants to meet me, you can arrange a time. Our marriage just has to be kept secret from the


    media,”

    Joe sald in his deep voice.


    Skr was surprised. “Really?”


    Yeah.”


    Skr never expected things to go so smoothly. Joe was exceptionally easy to talk to today.


    “Do you need me to help massage your head?” Skr asked.


    Joe had initially intended to ask Skr for a massage, but he’d refused her offerst time. She’d


    reject for sure if he asked her now. He felt joyful when she made the offer. “Sure, thank you.”


    Skr took the extra pillow nearby and ced it on herp. “Lie down here.”


    Joe nced at Skr, then at the pillow on herp. There seemed to be some emotion budding.


    Joe fell asleep under Skr’s gentle massage. When he woke up, it was already 6:00 am the


    following day.


    He had a dreamless sleep.


    Joe felt a slight sense of confusion when he opened his eyes. It was as if he had just woken up


    from a


    dream.


    His gaze fell on Skr, who was still sleeping peacefully, she had a smile on her face.
