Chapter 177
“It’s impossible for Annie to dismiss the person chosen by Gloria with just a million dors,” Paul
thought
to himself.
Apart from undermining Joe’s authority, the value of therge diamond ring gifted to Skr alone
exceeded a hundred million dors. If Skr had been a gold digger, targeting Gloria might have
been a more strategic move.
Annie’s decision to offer a mere million dors to threaten Skr appeared foolish and
inappropriate.
Annie felt embarrassed.
“Mr. Ziegler, I’m sure you would understand why I need to speak with Mr. Martin face–to–face.
Some misunderstandings are difficult to clear up over the phone. We’ve known each other since
childhood. Is it truly necessary to deny me a chance to exin?” she pleaded.
“Ms. Silver, you’ve crossed a line. By interfering in Mr. Martin’s affairs, others might misunderstand
your rtionship with him. Since you’re nobody to Mr. Martin, meddling in his affairs is
inappropriate. I doubt you can exin why you threatened Ms. Sullivan. You should leave, Paul
stated bluntly.
People just love stirring up trouble based on their long–standing connections. Paul’s
straightforwardness. couldn’t hurt.
Annie’s face turned even paler than before. “Have you investigated Skr?”
“Ms. Silver, you’ve crossed another line.” Paul’s demeanor darkened, dropping the fake smile.
It was clear that Annie had investigated Skr. Would people like her dare to dig deeper if they
knew Skr wasn’t just Joe’s lover but his wife?
Annie froze in ce. She had crossed the line again. She suddenly realized that anyone who could
be by
Joe’s side would surely be investigated thoroughly.

Joe knew everything about Skr, but hepletely ignored it. It felt suffocating. Annie then took a
deep
breath.
Annie watched Paul enter the building, and his resolve was unwavering without a hint of hesitation.
Clearly, there was no room for negotiation.
Her mother, Sabrina Madison, suddenly called. “Mom.”
“How did it go? Did Mr. Martin listen to your exnation? Let’s tone it down a bit first. I mean, it’s
just a fling. Mr. Martin wouldn’t really go against us because of her,” Sabrina said.
Annie’s voice was strained. “Mom, I couldn’t see him, and there’s no room for discussion.
“What? He won’t even let you apologize to him in person? Is he ignoring your lifelong friendship
just for a
woman?
“I happen to have Mrs. Martin Senior’s phone number. I’ll talk to her and let her know how abed

Sabrina hung up
She immediately called Gloria. “Mrs. Martin Senior, it’s me. I’m Sabrina Madison, Grayson Silver’s
wife. We met at Gardner Manor a few years ago,” Sabrina said, trying to cotton up with Gloria.
Gloria listened to her absentmindedly while watching TV. She was used to receiving such calls
frequently. Sudden calls like this always had a purpose, especially when they weren’t close.
“I know,” Gloria replied indifferently.
“Well, Mrs. Martin Senior, something happened these past two days. Annie and Joe have known
each other since childhood and even attended the same university. There might have been
something between
them.
“But suddenly, a woman named Skr Sullivan had intruded on their rtionship recently. She’s a
homewrecker, even her own parents despise her. Annie was worried that Joe was deceived, so
she…” Sabrina exined the whole situation.
Gloria was initially uninterested, but her face turned cold as she listened. Edgar saw Gloria’s
sudden change in demeanor and knew that someone had upset her.
“Skye’s is a homewrecker ? It seems to me that the Silver family had failed to educate Annie. How
dare you guys meddle in our family’s affairs?” Gloria said before hanging up the phone
Then she called Joe. “Are you even a man?”
“What’s wrong, Grandma?” Joe was bewildered
“Just now, Annie’s mother called me to nder Skye. How could they bully my granddaughter–in–
law? Did you agree to let the woman from the Silver family bully Skye? Did you let their whole family
bully Skye?” Gloria bombarded him with questions
