Chapter 486


    Jeremy stubbed out his cigarette and asked, “Is Skr with you?”


    Joe raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why are you looking for my wife all of a sudden?”


    Joe began scouring Gxy Vi for Skr. He looked upstairs and downstairs to no avail.


    “I wanted to ask her whether she knew anything about Natalie,” said Jeremy.


    Joe asked, “Your wife?”


    “Yeah. She didn’te home tonight.”


    “What a coincidence. My wife didn’te home too.”


    Silence fell between them.


    The suspicion that Jeremy had been nursing disappeared. It looked like Natalie hadn’t been lying to


    him, and she was apanying a friend with Skr.


    “You’re behaving weirdly. You’re here to confirm something you already know, aren’t you? Has your


    wife found out about your affair with that secretary of yours?”


    Since discovering that Jeremy had gotten together with Annabelle, Joe believed the affair would


    soon get out of hand.


    There were few to no secrets in their circle. Many people would pretend they knew nothing about it,


    and the aristocrats in their forced marriages would look the other way.


    However, Jeremy and Natalie were different.


    After a moment of silence, Jeremy said, “She’ll never find out. That secretary was nothing more than


    an ident.”


    He would settle it tomorrow morning. Jeremy would never let Natalie find out, and such


    uncontroble things would never happen again.


    Joe hummed in acknowledgment and said, “Alright, I’m hanging up now.”


    Following that, Joe called Skr. After a few rings, she picked up. He asked, “Why aren’t you at


    home?”


    Skr was sitting on the couch. Natalie felt that her crying had made her too unkempt and ugly, so


    she headed off to shower.


    Yet, Skr had gotten a call from Joe. She’d pushed Joe to the back of her mind due to her focus


    on consoling Natalie. Skr had forgotten to tell him she was busy tonight and wouldn’t be going


    home.


    When she thought of the rtionship between Joe and Jeremy, Skr chose to keep the details to


    herself. She chose the same excuse as Natalie.


    “We’re with a friend who has run into a bit of trouble. We won’t be going home tonight.”


    Joe’s expression changed, but he did not enquire any further. He simply said, “Alright.”


    After their call, Joey in bed and closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep. However, the more he tried,


    the more awake he felt. Suddenly, he sat up in bed with a frown.


    Where did Skr’s friendse from? She would rather sleep with her friend than him?


    The air around Joe seemed to freeze. Ruthlessness took over his features.


    However, once he calmed down, Joe furrowed his eyebrows. He suddenly realized that his


    attachment to Skr had spiraled out of control. Had he fallen for her


    He immediately rejected that idea. He liked having sex with Skr and depended on the good sleep


    and stable emotions that Skr afforded him when they were together. It had nothing to do with


    romantic love. After all, Skr didn’t like him either, right?


    When Joe realized that his emotions were getting affected by Skr yet again, his expression


    turned serious. He got up and strode into the study. It was a good time for a few virtual conference


    calls.

    Annabelle scrolled through her phone. Natalie seemed to have disappeared after Annabelle had


    given her address.


    If Natalie threw a tantrum, Jeremy would’ve sought her out by now. Natalie might’vee over to


    find! out whether she was telling the truth. However, none of that had happened. What was Natalie


    thinking?
