Chapter 541


    Annie’s eyes brimmed with tears. Her heart throbbed painfully. She asked, “Can you give me a


    chance to speak to Skr? After all, I’ll be her future sister–inw


    “Skr’s future sister–inw drugged me. Yet, she’s my wife. Do you think she’ll forgive you?”


    asked Joe mockingly.


    The words “my wife” reeked with possessiveness.


    Annie was shocked. For a second, she felt like Joe adored Skr. If not, he wouldn’t have been so


    protective and possessive over her. In addition, Skr wasn’t someone to be messed with.


    “Seeing as we’ve known each other for so long, can you pretend likest night didn’t happen? The


    Silvers have made a mistake. I havemitted a grave crime. Forgive us this time. Just this once.”


    A chill ran down Annie’s back when she thought of the Williamses‘ demise. None of the Silvers


    would be able to ept a fall from grace.


    Her heart.pounded nervously as she waited for Joe to relent and agree to let them go. However,


    Joe hung up on her mercilessly. Theck of an answer was an answer in itself.


    “Why was Joe the one who picked up?” Sabrina held her breath in silence. She only dared to speak


    when he hung up.


    The two women hid in their bedroom. Grayson and several other Silvers were discussing what to do


    next. It was the first time Sabrina had encountered such a messy situation since marrying into the


    Silver family. “It’s not a difficult guess. After we left, he called Skr over. They’re together right


    now,” said Annie. Her face was entirely pale. N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Sabrina frowned and said, “I don’t understand how Skr seduced Joe. How did she im his


    affection? She looks like a maniptive fox.”


    “Stop talking, Mom. Scolding them isn’t going to change anything,” Annie sighed deeply. Color had


    completely drained from her face.


    Sabrina was scowling as sheined, “Almost two hours have passed. Why hasn’t Steven


    called you back?”


    “He’s either busy or still asleep. He might’ve worked tootest night.” Skr knew Steven.


    Anyone might’ve kept their distance from her or suspected her, but Steven wouldn’t do that.


    Annie felt nervous when she thought of Steven’s wholehearted trust in her.


    If Steven had learned ofst night’s incident, would he have believed her exnation?


    When Skr woke up, she found herself being held by Joe. She was locked in his embrace; his


    heart pounded against her ear.


    “You’re up?”


    Joe had just woken up. His voice was rather horse andzy.


    Skr yawned, still exhausted. She replied, “I woke up out of hunger. She had no idea how long


    she’d slept for. Her soreness had subsided. Joe asked, “I’m hungry as well. What would you like


    to eat?”

    “Let’s go for a fondue,” Skr answeredzily.


    If hunger hadn’t woken her up, she would’ve slept till night fell.


    However, she had something important to do after finishing her meal.


    20 minutester, Skr walked out of the bathroom. She scolded Joe furiously, “Joe, go eat that


    fondue on your own! I don’t want to see you for the next two days!”


    She had been disorientated when she’d woken up in the morning. Although she knew he’d gone at


    her fiercely, she only saw the full extent when she went to shower. Her lips were swollen. There


    were marks on her body that looked alright in the morning but became terrifying just then.


    Her clothes couldn’t cover them. Skr wouldn’t be able to leave the house like that!


    Joe had changed into casual attire. He looked young and energetic. In contrast, Skr looked like a


    seductive little temptress who’d been gobbled up by him.
