Chapter 568


    Rowan was only this patient when dealing with Jenny. Although he couldn’t see Jenny and


    could only hear her voice on the phone, he could imagine how heartbroken she must be.


    She was a woman who could effortlessly elicit sympathy from others.


    “He sees you only as a sister,” Rowan rified further.


    Jenny’s voice seemed to crack with tears. “Did he really say that? Did he really say there’s


    no room for a third person at Gxy Vi?”


    When she decided to return to Jipsburg City, she had nned to live with Joe. She wanted to


    see him daily and understand how het felt about Skr.


    She wondered if Joe only married Skr to make Gloria happy, not because he genuinely


    liked her.


    But now, Joe had outright rejected her. It proved he cared more about Skr.


    “Yes,” Rowan confirmed.


    Jenny burst into tears. “Rowan, is Skr really that amazing? Is she worth him hurting me


    just to protect her? He doesn’t want me staying at Gxy Vi because he’s afraid Skr


    might misunderstand. Even before Skr said anything, he had already preemptively


    excluded me. He’s clearly protecting Skr.”


    Rowan was momentarily at a loss for words. “Even without Skr, you and Joe would never


    work.”


    “I have other things to take care of. I hope you don’t let Joe know I


    called you,” Jenny said before hanging up.


    Rowan stared at his phone. After a moment, he clicked his tongue in frustration.


    When Natalie called, Skr had just started her workday and was preparing for her tasks.


    “Skr,e over to my apartment after work today. I’m off today and don’t want to have


    dinner alone.”


    “Sure, I’ll bring dinner tonight.”


    “I’ll be waiting for you.”


    On his way to thepany, Joe nced at his phone. As expected, there were no messages


    from Skr.


    This only confirmed his assessment that Skr was indeed


    heartless.


    However, there were a few missed calls.


    The calls were from Jeremy.


    Jeremy wouldn’t call unless it was something important. Hence, Joe returned the call.


    When the line connected, Joe asked, “Is something wrong?”


    “I was looking for you to reach Skr. After you missed my call, I managed to get in touch


    with her this morning, and the matter is resolved,” Jeremy replied briefly, leaving out the


    details.”

    There was an unspoken understanding among them. For straightforward issues, there was


    no need for borate

    exnations.


    Joe now recalled that Jeremy had mentioned Skr earlier.


    “Looking for Skr? What’s up?” Joe asked.


    Jeremy was somewhat surprised but still truthfully exined how Annabelle had tried to


    deceive him.


    In the end, he praised Skr’s skills. “Skr is impressive. I just spoke briefly with Mr.


    Gardner Senior, and even he had some gaps in his knowledge about this. He didn’t fully


    understand. But Skr was able to determine the details from the photos. You should


    cherish her.”


    Jeremy was about to remind Joe not to be manipted, but then he recalled Skr’s words.


    All confusion ultimately depended on the strength of one’s willpower.


    Over the years, many people had tried to drug Joe, but he had always resisted. He relied


    almost entirely on his willpower.


    Even at the charity g a few days ago, he was able to see through Annie’s trick and ended


    up with Skr.
