Chapter 581


    After finishing, Joe took his clothes and walked out of their bedroom. Skr watched him leave.


    Joe’s words had exacerbated her headache from her hangover. Thankfully, he’d only been kidding.


    He hadn’t meant it. However, Joe had miscalcted this time despite his previous sess in


    scheming.

    Skr learned what happenedst night from a call with Natalie on the way to work. Joe had gone


    over to pick her up.


    “You have no idea, Skye. I was dumbstruck when Joe showed up. You’re doing well for yourself,


    Skye. He looks like he loves you. Stay with him. Although Joe might seem like an unapproachable


    iceberg of a man, he cares about you infinitely. He was


    o gentle when he carried you out. Literal boyfriend goals.”


    Skr’s knuckles turned white around the steering wheel. She did not exin the truth to Natalie.


    After all, Natalie had gotten drunkst night. How would a drunk woman know whether he was


    gentle with Skr or whether he adored her?


    “Focus on driving. We’ll talk soon. I’m on the way to work. I’ll be leaving Jipsburg tomorrow. Once


    I’m back, we’ll work on raising your tolerance to alcohol. With how lousy you are at holding your


    liquor, you’ll be gobbled up by Joe in no time.”


    Natalie only hung up after teasing her once again.


    Skr was driving Joe’s car. Her car would only be ready in two days.


    Although it was the least shy car in his garage, Skr’s colleagues still crowded over when she


    arrived at the office.


    “Skr, is this your car?”


    “Nah, it belongs to a friend of mine. My car got rear–ended yesterday,” Skr replied.


    Her colleague hummed in acknowledgment as they studied the car. She said, “I’ve seen this car


    online. It’s a limited edition model with a formidable price. One would only be able to look at it as a


    result. Rumor has it that there are less than ten of them in Jipsburg. Your friend is amazing. He’s


    able to lend such an impressive car to you.”


    She was extremely jealous.


    Skr smiled and said that she knew little about cars. Then, she went upstairs with her colleague.


    Just as she got ready to work, Alexander sent word that he would like to meet her.


    Once Skr met Alexander, he passed two pictures to her. He said, “Come take a look. This was


    given to me by one of my friends, Harry Srius. He lives in Liberty County after retiring.


    “Two years ago, he bought this overseas. Afterward, chaos befell his family. His children were


    involved in car idents, and others fell sick. Coincidentally, I saw this painting hung on his wall.


    Could this painting have been the cause?”

    “Alright, I’ll take a look at it.”


    Skr scrutinized the two pictures. Then, she shook her head and said, “There’s nothing wrong with


    the painting.”


    ???????????


    “Is there nothing wrong with the painting? Can youe to Liberty County and look at his house?”

    Many things had happened to Harry. He’d been busy in the past and did not have time to contact


    him. Recently, a series of weird happenings had urred. Alexander felt like a puppetmaster of fate


    was pulling the strings behind the scenes.


    Without hesitation, Skr agreed, “Alright. You can set a time for it.”


    “That’s great. I’ll start making arrangements. If possible, we should make the trip by today. It takes


    around five hours to get there. We’ll be able toe back by tomorrow.”


    Alexander immediately called his driver to set a time.


    Skr thought for a moment. Then, she called Joe. He must’ve been in a meeting and had muted


    his phone. He did not pick up.


    Thus, she sent a message to Joe, saying, “I’ll be going to Liberty County to help Alexander with


    something. I’ll be back by tomorrow.”


    Initially, she was going to ask him not to worry. After some thought, she believed that he wouldn’t


    worry about her anyway. She deleted that.
