Chapter 745


    Vera found Skr’s presence revolting. After all, her rtionship with Joe was in a grey area.


    Molly knew what Vera was hinting at. They met up asionally while overseas. She understood the


    pride that flowed in Vera’s blood.


    However, Molly knew that others had no idea about Jeremy’s marriage.


    “You’ve said yourself Skr is just his lover. Joe hasn’t dated anyone for the past few years. He will


    break up with her in a bit. Don’t worry. You can talk to him like how you usually do.”


    After getting humiliated, Molly loathed Skr with all her might.


    The more Joe valued Skr, the more motivated she was to tear them apart.


    Vera didn’t agree or disagree. She only said, “I’ll leave it up to fate.”


    Joe had just seen Rowan’s message. It read, “Skr and I ran into Vera. I think Sr knows her. I


    saw the video of you and Vera in the morning too.”


    As he read the message, he thought of how cold Skr had been toward himst night. Had she


    seen the video?


    As Skr drove to Gxy Vi, she received money from Rowan in her ount. He’d transferred a


    million dors to her as an appreciation.


    Before she could say anything, Rowan sent a voice message. He said, “Hiring a divination master


    would cost us tens of millions of dors. You’ve saved us all. You must take the money. There’s no


    need to send me a response.”


    Skr epted it. She replied, “I’ll take it.”


    When she got home, Skr began to head upstairs for an afternoon nap.


    She took a few steps up the stairs. Then, she heard noises behind her. When Skr turned back,


    she saw that Joe hade home.


    It wasn’t even 3:00 pm yet. It wasn’t the end of the workday. Why had hee


    home?


    “Did you see the video?” asked Joe.


    Skr’s footsteps paused. She said, “Yeah. It has gone viral.”


    “Don’t believe it,” said Joe as he walked over. He affixed Skr with a deep


    gaze.


    Skr smiled. She said, “Alright, I’m a little tired. I’ll take a nap now.”


    Joe watched Skr walk upstairs. She didn’t even ask him about his rtionship with Vera. He


    couldn’t help but frown.


    Did she believe him? Or did she not care?


    2/3


    Skr had only wanted to take a short 15–minute nap.


    When she woke up an hourter, Joe wasn’t home.


    She prepared a simple dinner.


    As she ate, a call came in all of a sudden. It was from Steven.


    Steven had been busy. If not for their calls during Charles‘ crisis, they seldom


    chatted.


    “Steven.”


    “What are you up to?”


    Skr nced at her pasta. She replied, “I’m having dinner. Have you eaten?”


    “I’m eating dinner right now,” replied Steven.


    Steven sounded off. She put her fork now and asked, “Are you feeling ill?”


    “I’ve got a bit of a cold. It’s nothing. I’m already getting better. After everything that happened to


    Charles, I haven’t gotten the chance to talk to you. How are things with Joe?”


    Skr smiled and replied, “We’ve been getting along well. You don’t need to worry, Steven. Do you


    have time to go home when Mom’s birthday rolls around?


    “Yeah. I’ve been working overtime to get my work done. Charles will be able to

    make time for it as well. Invite Joe toe with us. Charles‘ crisis wouldn’t have been averted if not


    for him,” said Steven.
