Chapter 516


    Natalie recalled Skr mentioning marrying Joe, so it was true. Previously, she didn’t believe a word


    Skr said. Now, she felt like a fool.


    Skr hadn’t expected to reveal this to Natalie right now. “Everything I told you before was true.


    He’s my husband.”


    Natalie’s lips twitched as she reminded herself to stay calm. Then, she hinted meaningfully, saying,


    “No wonder Andrew was so shocked earlier. It turned out he knew about your rtionship with Joe.


    You better go over there.


    “We can settle things here, but you need to exin yourself properly over there. You can make it up


    to me in a couple of days. If I had known he was your husband, I wouldn’t have brought up anything


    about your husband being my cousin, the detective.”


    She patted Skr on the shoulder. “Good luck. I’m getting a cab.”


    Jacky had left without anyone noticing. Natalie had slipped away too.

    Skr faced Joe’s intense and inscrutable gaze. She took a deep breath and walked over.


    As Skr settled into the car, Joe’s first words were, “Is your husband a detective? How did you end


    up with this guy?”

    Joe vaguely recalled Natalie introducing Skr to a man who seemed to be a detective. Joe


    wondered if she thought of him first in moments of danger.


    Joe pondered why she hadn’t thought to use his name in that situation. It seemed like she didn’t


    realize the name “Joe Martin” carried more weight.


    “Well… at the time, we didn’t think much about it. It was just something we mentioned casually?


    Unexpectedly, Andrew took it seriously,” Skr exined helplessly.


    She really hadn’t expected Joe to find out.


    Joe seemed skeptical. “Have you taken a liking to that detective?”


    That man did seem to attract women. For some reason, it made him feel


    uneasy.


    Skr was taken aback. She looked into Joe’s cold and inscrutable eyes.


    She asked directly, “Are you jealous?”


    Joe frowned. “You’re overthinking it.‘


    He would never be jealous.

    After watching Joe’s car leave, Natalie prepared to hail a cab. At this hour, there were plenty of cabs


    on the road.


    Natalie hailed a cab, wondering what was happening between Skr and Joe. She didn’t know how


    they ended up together, and there were no signs of it.


    Skr really made a big move.


    Skr was able to marry a man like Joe. She was quite impressive.


    As Natalie silently criticized, a car pulled up in front of her.


    Upon seeing the familiar car parked in front of her instead of a cab, her


    ?


    expression changed abruptly. She came to a sudden halt.


    A tall figure emerged from the car. He approached Natalie urgently, and his tone was somewhat


    concerned. “Are you alright? Did Andrew hurt you?”


    In the past, Natalie would have definitely thrown herself at Jeremy and poured out her grievances.


    She would have made Jeremy help her seek justice. She truly had been scared just now. Despite


    that, she stood her ground, not moving


    an inch.


    “I’m fine,” Natalie said coldly.


    Jeremy furrowed his brows. “Get in the car.”


    Seeing Natalie’s distance and wariness toward him, Jeremy felt a sharp pain in his chest. Initially, it


    was a dull ache, but then it spread throughout his body.


    “No need. I’ll take a cab,” Natalie said, walking away.


    She couldn’t understand why Jeremy could maintain a fa?ade of normalcy as if nothing had ever


    happened even though he had betrayed their marriage.


    Natalie couldn’t pretend like nothing had happened.
