Chapter 382


    Ts everything taken care of? Joe asked


    “It’s taken care of Mr. Lourdes told me to leave first, and he’ll handle the rest,” Skr replied as she


    got


    into the car


    Skr knew she wouldn’t have been able to get Jacky to handle this matter without Joe’s help, so


    she


    added. “Thank you”


    “How are you going to thank me?” Joe flicked his cigarette, his gaze distant and deep.


    His low and sexy voice came through the phone, just like when he seduced her at night, whispering


    in her ear. Every word made her heart race. Even though Joe wasn’t beside her, Skr’s face


    turned red.


    “T’ll treat you to dinner,” she said, taking a deep breath and trying to keep her voice calm.”


    Joe snuffed his cigarette in the ashtray and exhaled thest puff. “I’ll eat you.”


    “What?” Skr’s heart skipped a beat, thinking she had misheard.


    Hearing Skr’s surprised response, Joe seemed to envision her shocked expression, and


    somehow, the Irritation in his chest dissipated.


    “Think carefully about how to thank me tonight.”


    Skr heard him loud and clear this time.


    “Wasn’tst night-*


    She stopped herself mid–sentence.


    “Aren’t you worried about overworking yourself, Mr. Martin?” Skr touched her burning face, trying


    to suppress the vivid images shing through her mind,


    Joe replied, “A few more times wouldn’t hurt.”


    Skr was speechless.


    Skr didn’t go to work and took another day off. She first went to visit Janine and exined the


    current


    situation.


    Janine was furious with the Williamses, calling them immoral, selfish, and despicable.


    Steven was also there. They were relieved to hear that Skr had hired awyer. That would


    resolve the issue well, and they wouldn’t have to face the Williamses themselves.


    “This time they should learn their lesson and stop bothering you,” Steven said gravely.


    Skr smiled and said, “They’re quite forgetful, but they can’t hurt me.”


    Steven was about to say something when he suddenly thought of Joe.

    The Williamses couldn’t hurt Skr with Joe around. He had heard from friends about Jacky, the


    legal


    advisor for the Martin Group, a legendarywyer in Jipsburg. He could resolve any issue.


    Suddenly, Steven remembered the recent incident involving Skr, Christopher, and Maisy. Joe’s


    involvement was probably how Skr could turn the situation around so quickly.


    “No matter what, you must be careful in the future,” Janine advised worriedly.


    “Okay, Mom, don’t worry.”

    After a while, Charles called to check on the situation. There were no secrets in their circle.


    Samuel had many fans and was often followed by paparazzi. He recently lost a lot of work, and


    there


    were rumors that his career in the entertainment industry was over.


    In just a few days, Samuel’s entire family had ended up at the police station, and a popr TV show


    was


    also involved. The news spread rapidly within an hour.


    “Don’t worry, Charles. It’s been settled.”


    Charles was still a bit uneasy.


    “Samuel is petty and vengeful. This time, things got a bit out of hand. Now both he and the show’s


    crew are trending on social media. Luckily, no videos or photos has you inside. In the future, if you


    see them, just avoid them. It’s not about being afraid of them; it’s about avoiding unnecessary


    trouble.”


    Skr felt warm inside and nodded, “Okay.”


    On her way back to Gxy Vi, Skr received a message from Jacky.
