Chapter 505


    If Simona was considered kind, then there really were no kind people left in the world. Under the


    influence of Leonard, Simona could be quite ruthless.


    Skr smiled and said, “Simona’s not bullying me. She is actually a good person. Otherwise, you


    wouldn’t be such good friends with her, right? Let’s go.” Caleb was still confused. He nodded slowly


    and replied, “Yeah, it makes sense.” However, he still felt something off.


    After about half an hour, it wasn’t until Caleb reached the Gardner Manor that he realized what was


    bothering him. He wondered if Simona was trying to take Skr away from him.


    “Damn it!” Caleb muttered to himself. He wouldn’t let Simona meet Skr again.


    Skr hadn’t visited Gloria in a while. After work, she decided to see her. They had dinner together


    and then watched a variety show.


    The two got along very well, enjoying each other’spany.


    During the show, Gloriained about her friend, Beatrice Shortle. Recently, Gloria and Beatrice


    had gone to a recent auction house together.


    Beatrice had been calling Gloria non–stoptely, saying she wanted to visit Pearlhall Residence.


    She kept bragging about her granddaughter, who had just returned from abroad with numerous


    awards and was now a famous violinist.


    Gloria scoffed. “Does she think I can’t see through her? She just wants to match her granddaughter


    with Joe. Dream on! I remember meeting that girl a few years ago.


    “Despite her young age, she was full of malice. She looked down on the maid as if she were


    superior,. When she saw me, she’d act all sweet and innocent.


    “Not only do I not like her, but Joe wouldn’t give her a second look either. I already have you as my


    granddaughter–inw. Skye, no one else could everpare to you.”


    Seeing Gloria so agitated, Skr chuckled. “In your eyes, I’m perfect.”

    In truth, she knew she wasn’t that perfect. Gloria might see her through rose- colored sses


    because of her friendship with Vi.


    But genuine affection begot genuine affection. Skr was determined to be sincerely devoted to


    Gloria.


    By the time evening came around, it was toote for Skr to leave. Hence, Skr decided to stay


    at Pearlhall Residence. Beforeing over, she had informed Joe.


    However, she didn’t expect him toe to Pearlhall Residence as well.


    When he arrived, Skr had just finished taking a shower. She was surprised to see Joe standing in


    the room when she dried her hair. “Aren’t you supposed to be busy today?”


    Considering how far it was from hispany, Skr wondered why he had bothered toe to


    Pearlhall Residence.


    With one hand in his pocket, Joe’s naturally cool gaze swept over her. His gaze was now tinged with


    deeper meaning. “I came to visit Grandma.”


    “Oh,” Skr replied. For a second, she thought he hade to see her. She realized she was being


    a bit presumptuous. She lowered her head to hide her emotions.


    Meanwhile, in another part of Pearlhall Residence, Edgar watched as finished her medicine.

    “Joe can’t stand to be apart from Skye for a single day. He said he came to see me, but has he


    spoken more than two words to me?” Gloria teased with a mischievous smile.


    Edgar chuckled. “It’s clear to everyone that Mr. Martin is truly fond of Mrs. Martin.”


    “I’m just worried he doesn’t realize it himself.” Gloria thought Joe was great in every way, but he


    lacked some emotional insight.


    “Mr. Martin will figure it out. Besides, Mrs. Martin cares for him too. Whenever I visit Gxy Vi, I


    see how meticulously she manages it. She clearly treats Gxy Vi as her home.”


    Gloria nodded in agreement. “Neither of them has had it easy.”
