Chapter 575
1/3
Joe had Paul drive Skr’s car to the car dealership.
Skr then got into Joe’s car. The car was the same one from the night before, with the same
driver, Lucas. The only difference now was that it was daytime.

Their rtionship had grown more strained.
Once in the car, Skr said, “Just drop me off at theplex ahead. I have an appointment with
Natalie.”
Joe raised an eyebrow. His gaze grew colder. “Are you trying to avoid me? Don’t you want to know
why I was at the barst night or why that woman said she knew me?”
In that situation, it was obvious to anyone that the woman was interested in him. Joe didn’t believe
Skr didn’t notice.
“If you wanted to tell me, you would have. If I were to ask rashly wouldn’t I be meddling in matters
that don’t concern me?” Skr
retorted.
Besides, he hadn’t even remembered Felicia’s name. She could tell from Felicia’s reaction that their
encounter was likely just a coincidence at the bar.
Many people knew Joe, but Joe didn’t necessarily know everyone who knew him.
Joe’s expression darkened instantly. “You’re really calm. Don’t forget your status. You’re my wife
now.”
“Why do I feel like you want me to be jealous? I’m not jealous. Are you upset?” Skr looked at him
thoughtfully.

Skr wondered if Joe had feelings for her. Her heart skipped a beat as she fixed her gaze on Joe.
Joe was taken aback. After a few seconds of silence, he said, ” You’re overthinking it.”
Skr lowered her gaze and looked out the car window. “So, there really isn’t a need for me to
ask.”
Joe was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Just drop me off here. Natalie lives around this area,” After they passed an intersection, Skr
spoke again.
Joe nced at her with a heavy look in his eyes.
As Skr got out of the car, Joe’s voice came from behind. “I’ll be home tonight.”
Skr hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Alright.”
When she reached the entrance of theplex, she looked back. Joe’s car had not driven away.
He was still in the car, watching her through the lowered window.
Their eyes met, and Skr felt her heart tighten.
His gaze seemed full of emotion, but she quickly reminded herself it was just an illusion. He had no
real feelings for her.
His care was merely due to Gloria’s influence. She quickly looked down and turned into the
complex.
After Skr disappeared into theplex, Joe’s lips curled into a cold smile as he muttered,
“Heartless.”
Lucas was once again startled. He wondered what was going on between Joe and Skr. They had
been getting along well before,
3/3
but now they seemed to have conflicts whenever they met recently.
“Head to Pearlhall Residence first, then back to the Gxy Vi,” Joe instructed.
Lucas replied, “Understood.”
As Skr entered the elevator, she checked her Facebook.
Felicia’s top Facebook post had indeed been updated to an apology to her.
Her fans‘ments were overwhelmingly positive. They praised Felicia for taking responsibility and
owning up to her mistakes.
Her handling of the situation once again boosted her poprity on
Facebook.
Skr had to admit that people in the entertainment industry were quite adept at managing their
public image.
…
Felicia had just finished an event when she saw Adele had hired online influencers to promote her
on Facebook. This move once again boosted her poprity following the ident.
Although it was something to be happy about, she couldn’t shake off her dissatisfaction.
Joe’s attitude today left her feeling embarrassed. She wondered whether he truly didn’t remember
her or if he was putting on an act in front of Skr.
“I did some checking. There’s a D–list actor named Charles Sullivan, who is Skr’s brother.
Coincidentally, he’s the third male lead in your next project,” Adele said.
