Chapter 315


    Skr felt too awkward about returning the money to Gloria, so she epted it. She nned to use


    itter to buy some jewelry for Gloria.


    While she was waiting at the airport, Joe called her.


    “Are you at the airport?”


    “Yeah, I’m at the gate. I’ll be boarding in 30 minutes.”


    “Okay. I have some matters to attend today, so I won’t be able to make it to the airport. Paul will


    take you to the hotel first.”


    Just as Joe finished speaking, Skr faintly heard a woman’s voice softly calling Joe’s name. Her


    tone was gentle and affectionate.


    Skr’s eyes flickered slightly. After acknowledging Joe and saying okay, she ended the call.


    The way the woman had called him indicated that their rtionship was not simple. Were they


    friends?


    Skr shook her head slightly to push her thoughts aside. Regardless of who was with him now,


    she didn’t have to delve into it.


    The hours on the ne passed quickly. Skr slept for most of the flight. In fact, she might have


    slept even longer if thending announcement hadn’t woken her.


    She got off the ne, still feeling groggy. When she went out with her luggage, she saw Paul


    waiting.


    Paul was dressed casually in a tank top and loose pants–a stark contrast to his


    usual work attire.


    “Ms. Sullivan, are you tired after such a long flight? Hungry? Mr. Martin said if you’re tired, we can


    go straight to the hotel. But if you’re hungry, I’ll take you out to eat,” Paul said in a rxed manner.

    Paul imed he was on a business trip with Joe, but it felt more like a vacation. He was as


    comfortable as he could be.


    A warm breeze greeted them as they exited the airport, instantly making Skr rx.


    “Let’s go eat.”


    Having slept through the flight without eating, Skr was now feeling hungry.

    “Sure, let’s go now. I know Korel City well. Ie here almost every year. Ms.


    Sullivan, would you like to try some local specialties?” Paul asked.


    “Sounds good,” Skr replied eagerly. Since she was already here, she wanted to


    taste the local cuisine.

    Paul nced at Skr through the rearview mirror. From the moment he’d picked


    until now, she hadn’t mentioned Joe at all. Could it be that she didn’t care


    about what Joe was doing?


    up


    While enjoying the scenery along the way through the car window, Skr admired


    Korel City, a seaside town with beautiful sea views.


    Korel City was a tourist destination year–round. Seeing many women dressed in elegant


    sundresses, Skr also looked forward to wearing the several sundresses


    she had brought.


    After observing her carefully, Paul was convinced Skr was genuinely here for a


    vacation.


    When he’d booked the flight tickets, he’d thought that Skr and Joe seemed closer


    than before, almost inseparable.


    That’s why he’d been skeptical of the pretext of a vacation. He’d assumed that Skr


    came because of Joe.


    “Mr. Martin will probably be here to see you tomorrow,” Paul said.


    Skr smiled and nodded. “Okay.”


    Now, Paul was left puzzled. He couldn’t figure out what was going on in Skr’s mind. Did she care


    about Joe or not?


    They had just arrived at a restaurant and sat down when Joe called Paul.


    3/3


    After sharing their location with Joe, Paul hung up and told Skr, “Mr. Martin will be


    here in about 30 minutes.”


    Skr was surprised. “Isn’t he busy today? Does he have time?” Chapter 315

    The Williamses‘ faces turned dark with anger as they watched Skr walk away


    without a hint of hesitation.


    To them, she seemed utterly heartless. Skr had the most free time out of all of them, yet


    contributed the least. Now, when the family needed her the most, she’d walked away without a


    second thought.


    “Dad, what do we do now?” Samuel asked, clearly at a loss.


    Jeffrey was just as bewildered. “Let’s go home and wait for the doctor’s call. Once your mom wakes


    up, we can alle back together.”


    “Okay,” the brothers agreed in unison.


    The hospital was eerily quiet. The family had no choice but to leave, while Skr


    drove straight to Gxy Vi.


    As she started the car and hit the road, she was too focused on driving to notice the


    car tailing her until about 20 minutester.


    When she finally spotted the vehicle in her rearview mirror, she recognized the


    license te, and her expression darkened. What was Peter up to?


    Peter was stunned as he followed Skr’s car toward a luxurious vi neighborhood.


    He couldn’t believe that Skr had lived in such an upscale area.


    Even at the height of Williams Group’s sess, they hadn’t been able to afford a ce like this.


    After all, the Williams family had never been part of Jipsburg’s elite


    circles.


    Wasn’t Skr’s new boyfriend supposed to be just an ordinary guy? How could they


    afford to live there?


    “No matter what secrets you’re hiding, I will uncover them,” Peter muttered coldly


    with his eyes narrowed,


    He was convinced that Skr’s secrets could turn their family’s situation around.

    2/2


    Skr nced at the rearview mirror again, thinking how despicable Peter was for tailing her to find


    out where she lived.


    How could he have had time for this, even with Sadie in a car ident now? But then again, there


    was no surprise there–Peter had indeed been raised by Jeffrey and


    Sadie.


    Skr made a sharp turn into a high–end residential area, and Peter stopped his car when he saw


    her enter theplex. Did she live here?


    This area was known for housing elite professionals. It was a prestigious ce, but still not on par


    with Gxy Vi. Had he overestimated Skr?


    Peter lit a cigarette and rolled down the window, feeling a cloud of confusion settle


    over him.


    Why had Skr suddenly stopped trying to win their favor? She used to do everything to fit in with


    the family.


    Could it be her new boyfriend’s influence? Peter stared at theplex, lost in his


    thoughts.


    Then, his eyes caught a couple kissing under a streemp.


    The woman had a striking figure and was held tightly by the man, but Peter didn’t


    care about such scenes. What intrigued him was the man’s face when he finally saw


    1. it.


    Wasn’t that Jeremy? But the woman wasn’t his wife, Natalie. Natalie had been in the


    news before, and she certainly didn’t have this supermodel–like figure.


    So Jeremy had a mistress too. It seemed all men like him had their secrets.


    The next morning, Skr had breakfast and headed to the airport.


    On the way, she called Gloria to tell her about meeting up with Joe for a trip. Gloria


    was supportive and even sent her money for travel expenses.
