Chapter 168


    Annie arrived at the restaurant ahead of time and the restaurant was rtively empty. Perched on


    the 20th floor, it offered a panoramic view of the nearby urban area.


    Spotting Skr’s entrance, Annie motioned for her to take a seat.


    *Please have a seat, Ms. Sullivan. I’ve just ordered some dishes. Take a look and see if there’s


    anything else you’d like to add,” Annie said with a poised smile and a steady tone.


    As expected of a TV host, every gesture Annie made oozed sophistication. Her demeanor was


    wless.

    “Alright, thanks.” Skr didn’t bother with the menu. After settling in, she took a few sips of water


    and waited for Annie to exin the purpose of their meeting today.


    The club’s dim lighting and thete hour had made it difficult to get a clear read on her appearance


    the other day. But seeing Skr now, she seemed even more youthful and radiant, like a college


    freshman embarking on her first semester.


    As Annie stirred her coffee, her gaze darkened slightly Observing Skr’sposed demeanor,


    she couldn’t help but wonder how she had caught Joe’s eye


    Despite her young age, Skr was not an easy match. What did a woman without a background


    seek by


    bing the mistress of a sessful man?


    Annie knew the answer all too well. With a sense of self–assuredness, she slid a one million dor


    check


    across the table to Skr


    Skr was surprised at the sight of it. She had anticipated Annie’s motive for their meeting, but she


    hadn’t


    expected to witness a melodramatic scene straight out of a TV drama unfold before her eyes. How


    peculiar.


    Skr nced curiously at the amount on the check. Was it a million dors?


    “Ms. Sullivan, you’re smart enough to understand what I mean. As long as you leave Mr. Martin, this


    check


    is yours to take,” Annie’s tone held a hint of pride


    Coming from an educated and privileged background, Annie felt herself a fitting match for Joe. As


    for Skr in front of her, her background alone destined her for nothing more than the role of


    mistress.


    Skr remained indifferent, as always. She recalled Vi’s advice about maintainingposure in


    their


    line of work.


    Calmly, she asked, “What exactly is your rtionship with Mr. Martin?”


    After leaving the club that day, Skr had carefully pondered over it and suspected there might


    have been some misunderstandings. Joe didn’t seem to have any connection to Annie. But then


    again, it was


    all just spection on her part.


    Annie frowned. “You don’t have to know our rtionship. I know you’re only with him for the money.


    Beyond that, it’s none of your business if you choose to take the money and leave, as I’ve


    requested”


    “So, you guys are not dating then?” Skr’s tone remained calm.


    Annie’s expression turned cold. I’ve investigated you. You’re the Williams family’s estranged


    daughter. Since the Williams family does not favor you, it’s unlikely they’d give you money to spend


    recklessly.


    “And that’s why you set your sights on Mr. Martin. But do you honestly believe a rtionship built on


    superficialities can endure? It can’t even withstand the light of day.”


    Skr’s expression remained neutral. “Your investigation was quite thorough, Ms. Silver.”
