Chapter 617


    Maisy watched impassively as Kenny was tortured and beaten. It was retribution, a mirror


    reflecting her own suffering.


    At dinner, Skr and Joe discussed their uing visit to Yancey Residence.


    Skr was surprised at how quickly Joe agreed to the n.


    “Are you okay if it is set for this weekend?” Skr checked the group chat. The weekend


    was when Steven, Charles, and Harvey would all be there.


    Joe had no objections. He replied, “Sure.”


    Skr informed in the group chat that she would bring a guest and have an important


    announcement to make.


    Steven was the first to respond. He simply weed the guest.


    Janine and Charles were a bit puzzled about the situation. But everyone agreed in the group


    chat. No matter who Skr brought home, they would all be weed.


    Janine thought about preparing a special meal for the weekend. Skr knew they would be


    curious about the guest.


    Just then, the doorbell rang. Visitors were rare at the Gxy Vi. The staff from Pearlhall


    Residence usually came during the day. Paul and Lucas typically waited outside for Joe.


    Skr looked at Joe. Joe, too, was perplexed. He went to the door.


    Upon seeing the visitor on the inte, his expression darkened.


    “Who is it? Is it a friend of yours? Should I stay out of sight?” Skr asked, setting her


    phone aside.


    “No need. It’s just Jenny,” Joe said as he opened the door.


    Skr’s expression shifted slightly. “Jenny?”

    “Yes.”


    Jenny soon came into view. She sweetly greeted, “Joe. Skr.”


    Skr nodded in acknowledgment.


    “I was just visiting a friend nearby. I heard from Rowan that you two have been living at


    Gxy Vi since your marriage, so I decided to drop by and visit you,” Jenny said.


    Her familiarity with the vi’syout hinted that she had visited before. She quickly changed


    into slippers and made her way inside, taking a seat directly on the couch.


    Initially nervous, Jenny soon noticed Joe and Skr wearing matching loungewear, unlike


    anything she’d seen him in before. As a fashion design student, she immediately recognized


    the inexpensive fabric.


    She couldn’t believe that Joe was dressed so childishly. Trying to mask her doubts and


    jealousy, she pursed her lips and acted as if she hadn’t noticed.


    She casually set a bag on the table and said with a rxed tone, “I baked cookies today


    using only a little sugar. Joe, you used to say they were good. See if you think my baking has


    improved. Skr, you should have a taste too.


    2/2


    Skr nced at Joe, who had settled beside her, then turned her attention to the beautifully


    packaged cookies before her. The rose–shaped cookies were clearly the work of someone


    skilled with an eye for detail. Despite her own limited baking skills, she politely remarked,


    “They look like they should taste quite delightful.”
