Chapter 434


    It was a pity that the report was gone.


    The public rtions department of the Martin Group was the fastest in Jipsburg City. No other team


    could hold a me to their effectiveness.


    Skr walked out while saying, “I’m going to make a call.”


    In the break room, Skr called Gloria. She started the call by saying, “Grandma.”


    Gloria knew why Skr called and said cheerily, “Are you worried about me because the Williamses


    came


    to see me?”


    Skr’s throat tightened upon hearing Gloria’s question. She was the one who’d caused trouble for


    Gloria, yet Gloria wasn’t ming her at all. Skr hummed and replied, “They’re not important to


    me. You don’t have to waste your energy on them.”


    *Skye, Joe and I will treat you well. You don’t need to spare any thoughts for family members who


    don’t


    treat you as one of their own. There’s no need to feel saddened because of them, either. They’re


    blind for not seeing how excellent you are, reassured Gloria warmly.


    Skyler answered gently, “Alright, Grandma. I’ll remember that.”


    Listening to the even tone that Gloria knew Skr was desperately faking, Gloria couldn’t help but


    pity her. She continued, “When I was young, I loved getting into fights. Vi would know all about


    this. If I were 30


    years younger, I would’ve beat these Williamses up. I had Edgar chase them out right away this


    morning.”


    Skr gushed genuinely, “I’m so happy and blessed to have be part of your family.”


    She was telling the truth.


    She’d been yearning to say that to Gloria for a long time.


    Sometimes, when she was startled awake in the middle of the night, she would feel as though her


    life after getting reborn was nothing more than a dream. It was her obsession, borne out of the


    hardships


    she’d faced.


    Whenever she felt like that, she would need a long time to calm down before epting that this was


    her


    new reality.


    “Oh, my darling. I smile in my dreams for being fortunate enough to be your family. I must’ve


    been a savior in my past life to have you as my granddaughter–inw.”


    After Gloria hung up, she still felt unsettled. Thinking about the results of her investigation and


    learning that the Williamses had bullied Skr, tears welled up in her eyes. Her heart throbbed for


    Skr.


    She told Edgar, “Skr never tells me about her past. She’s suffered a lot. The next time she’s


    here, makel sure the cook prepares all her favorite dishes.”


    “Don’t worry, Mrs. Martin Senior. I’ll ensure your instructions are passed on to the cooks. Don’t be


    too mncholic over Mrs. Martin’s experiences. If your health suffers because of this, she would


    be


    devastated,” consoled Edgar.


    Gloria sighed and said, “Alright, I know. Don’t worry about me. I will take care of myself and do my


    best to apany them for a few more years.”


    Skr proceeded to call Joe,


    Joe picked up quickly.


    Skr asked, “Jeffrey and his son went to see you, didn’t they?”


    Joe hadn’t expected Skr to find out about what had happened. Their public rtions team hadn’t


    worked fast enough. He answered, “Yeah. They didn’t get to see me as they were barred from


    entering the building. They didn’t affect the Martin Group in any way.”


    Skr continued, “You were the one who found evidence for Jeffrey’s crimes, right? Thanks.”


    “Yes, I did it. You don’t need to concern yourself with this. He won’t be able to escape prison now


    that he’s been sent in. The rest of the Williamses won’t be able to cause any problems for you,” Joe


    answered.


    He did not deny it. He’d done it, and that was the truth. It was good that Skr had found out about


    what he’d done. At least she’d know that she hadn’t made the wrong decision to marry him.


    Skr’s heart raced. Suddenly, she knew that her feelings for Joe had changed. Her grip tightened


    around her phone.


    Her tone became t as she said, “The rest of the Williamses might not be able to stir up much


    chaos. However, they’re well–versed in making you feel horrible. You… You might want to be more


    careful.”


    She was scared that Peter would continue following Joe around to disturb his peace.


    “Don’t worry.


    Just as Skr was about to hang up, Joe suddenly said, “Wait.”

    “What?”


    Joe suddenly asked darkly, “They broke your heart?”


    Skr paused in surprise for a second before exining simply, “A long time ago, they did break


    my heart. However, I stopped caring about them. I genuinely don’t give a damn about them now.


    “That’s great.
