Chapter 779
There had to be something wrong with Vera’s brain. If Vera hadn’t been Joe’s first love, Skr
would’ve driven her out of the house with a broom.
Vera stood up abruptly and dered, “There’s no need to deny it after you’ve already done it.
Besides, there’s no one else here!”
Skr was the kind of person who pretended to be a virtuous wife even after whoring around.
She didn’t behave so innocently before Joe, did she? She was embroiled inplicated
rtionships with multiple men. Yet, she could still act na?ve and innocent.
The entertainment industry lost a star when Skr didn’t pick up a career in acting. She was an
excellent performer.
“It’s gettingte. I would like to go to bed. It’s time for you to leave,” Skr stated. She did not have
the patience to exin herself and chased Vera out.
“Wait. You haven’t named your price. I can give you a sum of money. You’ll no longer need to eat
out of a man’s palm.
“I know you’re working in Mr. Gardner Senior’s team. Do you know that you’ve destroyed his
reputation as an honorable man? He’s getting old. Aren’t you afraid that things will get out of hand?
If anything happens to him, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
Vera’s expression was one of utter displeasure. She couldn’tprehend why Skr wasn’t feeling
inferior before her. Skr came from a lower–ss background. Instead, she didn’t even see Vera
as a threat.
Who gave her the confidence to behave like that? Was it Joe? Or was it Alexander? Perhaps it was
Rowan and Aiken.
Vera had heard rumors regarding how Skr had visited Alexander’s mansion. He even allowed her
unrestricted ess to his home. Skr didn’t harbor much of a standard for men. She dabbled with
men of all ages!
Vera couldn’tprehend how Skr could fool such an intelligent man. Had she tamed her with
her skills in bed?

Skr pped her. “You can humiliate me all you want, but I will not let you humiliate a respected
elder of mine! Vera Ruell, if you don’t like me, talk to Joe about it straight out. Have hime to
me. You don’t have the right to throw a tantrum at me. Get lost.”
Vera was stunned. She cupped her face and stared at Skr incredulously. She then raised her
hand, about to retaliate. However, Skr grabbed her hand.
“You deserved to be pped,” Skr stated firmly. She stared at her coldly.
Respect was a two–way street. Evidently, Vera didn’t deserve her respect.
“Let go of me. Skr, have you thought of the consequences of pissing me off? You should know
my rtionship with Joe!” Vera tried to yank her wrist out of Skr’s grip. However, she failed.
Vera’s expression changed. She wasn’t expecting Skr to be capable of such strength.
Skr’s stony expression softened. She did know of their rtionship. The color drained from her
face.
Skr let go.
In the face of Skr’s silence, Vera thought she’d calmed down, and fear had ovee her after
the fact. She chuckled coldly and said, “I believe you’ve realized the difference between the two of
us at the auction. You needed Mr. Gardner Senior to procure the item you wanted. However, I can
purchase what I want on my own. I could even grab your favorite antiques from under your nose.
“Didn’t you adore those antiques? Yet, you couldn’t get them. Think about what this means for you.
When you get to the bottom of things, you can seek me out at Ruell Residence! However, I will
make you pay for the p.”
Skr’s expression twisted slightly upon hearing that. She seemed rather confused.
“Who told you I wanted the antiques you purchased?”
Vera smirked icily. She was such an avid actress, and her mask was always on. “Stop faking it. I
can see right through you.”
She knew that continuing to speak tonight wouldn’t yield any results. In addition, Vera’s thoughts
were in a mess. There was no need to stay. She walked toward the door.
The corner of Skr’s lips twitched. She wanted to know why Vera thought she desired those
antiques. Skr said coldly, “I hope you won’t be begging me for mercy in the future.”
