Chapter 539
Skr sat in the bathtub, trying to relieve the soreness throughout her body. Her mind was calm.
The fact that Annie and the Silvers had drugged Joe meant that they only wanted to take advantage
of Steven. The Silvers must’ve thought that the gst night was an opportunity. In the end, they’d
doomed themselves.

Yesterday, Annie had insisted on her love for Steven. Yet, she climbed onto Joe’s bed on the same
night. Her love was too cheap.
Paul probably had evidence of it, which was exactly what Skr needed.
It was 40 minutester, and Joe had showered in another room. He nced at the bathroom. Why
hadn’t Skre out yet?
Joe checked his watch. Frowning, he strode forward and opened the bathroom door.
When he saw Skr fast asleep in the bathtub, he sighed in relief. For a moment, he’d recalled
multiple articles about deaths in bathtubs.
“Stupid girl.”
Didn’t she know that it was dangerous?
Joe scolded her internally. However, he carefully lifted her out of the bathtub and tightly wrapped a
towel around her.
She waspletely knocked out. When he picked her up, she found afortable spot and
snuggled into his embrace. She behaved like azy cat who trusted and depended on its owner.
Joe’s breathing hitched. He felt like a feather was tickling his heart.
A few minutester, Joe walked out and leaned against the corridor walls. He held a cigarette
between his fingers without lighting it.
However, the cold expression on his face made Paul nervous.
“Annie’s father and her uncle did it. They bought over the workers at the g andced your drink
with an aphrodisiac.”
Joe chuckled coldly and said, “Has the Silver family not suffered enough? How dare they scheme
against me. I don’t want to see any trace of the Silvers in Jipsburg from today onward.”
“Alright, I’ll head to the office and make the necessary arrangements,” Paul replied. He wanted
nothing more than to leave as soon as possible.
Joe was even more terrifying than a lion when he got angry.
They probably went at it like animalsst night, judging by how Skr wasn’t awake yet. Joe
should’ve been wholeheartedly satisfied. Why was there a murderous gleam in his eye?
Paul was terrified.
“Wait, check the surveince footage of the hotel. How did Annie enter my room? How did her
parents take her away with only a towel around her? Get the footage and send a copy to Skr.“.
Paul was stunned. He asked, “You want me to give it to Mrs. Martin?”
“She might need it,” said Joe. When he talked about Skr, the murderous re in his eyes
disappeared. Paul was terrified. He didn’t know whether to believe his eyes. Joe’s expression
changed faster than Paul
could notice.
“The footage was sent to my phonest night. I’ll forward it to Mrs. Martinter.”
Joe hummed in acknowledgment and said, “I’m not going to the office today. Get someone to bring
a few outfits for Skr.”
“They should be on their way here now. Mrs. Martin will be able to wear it once she wakes up,” said
Paul. Paul felt that an excellent assistant considered the full picture
Joe raised an eyebrow and said, “When you get back to the office, talk to Chester Parkson. You’ll be
getting a raise.”
Paul’s eyes widened. Who knew he’d be given such an awesome surprise first thing in the morning?
He thanked, “Thank you, Mr. Martin! You’re an excellent man!”
“When did you start addressing Skr as Mrs. Martin?” Joe hadn’t noticed.
Paul was stunned. He said, “Oh, I don’t remember either.”
In the beginning, he called Skr Ms. Sullivan. Now, he’d taken to call her Mrs. Martin
subconsciously.
As an outsider, he could tell that Joe liked Skr. If not, how could Joe push Annie away while she
was the case, his self–control was too naked? He had been under the aphrodisiac’s influence too. If
that wa powerful. Clearly, Joe adored Skr. If not, why would he insist on waiting for Skr, even if
that meant taking a cold shower?
