Chapter 780


    “Beg you for mercy?” It was as though Vera had heard a hrious joke. She was the heiress of the


    Ruell fortune. She was born differently.


    Inparison with Skr, she stood at the top of the pyramid. Skr could only look up at her in


    yearning.


    When she considered it from that perspective, Vera felt like she was demoting herself by being


    here. She even got pped. She would make Skr pay for her p. Skr would regret how


    cocky and ignorant she’d been.


    “You’ll be the one begging me for help,” spat Vera before leaving.


    Before Vera got into her car, she looked at Gxy Vi onest time. She knew an ignorant woman


    like Skr would only be a temporary ything for Joe.

    After getting harassed by Vera, Skr’s mood soured.


    It was dark outside. Joe wouldn’t being home.


    She decided to take a shower. Then, she retired for the night and began reading.


    Getting sad over a man and his first love wouldn’t be worth it.


    Joe was on the way back to Avalon Residence. He and Lucas were the only ones in the car.


    Gloria called. She asked, “When are you getting home?”


    Joe looked out the window and replied, “I’ll be arriving soon.”


    “Alright. I don’t think they mean well calling you back there. Garth is healthier than a 40–year–old.


    Why would he fall sick all of a sudden? Why would he stay home instead of going to the hospital?


    They’re just looking for an excuse to make you go back. Be careful,” Gloria reminded. She was


    extremely concerned. Ever since her husband died, the Martins plotted against Joe.


    Joe said, “Don’t worry, Grandma.”


    He wasn’t a na?ve kid with unrealistic expectations of his family anymore. Their schemes would be


    rendered useless to him.


    Gloria responded, “You little punk. This call of mine was unnecessary. There are not many people


    who can trap you now. Right, the helpers who’ve been cleaning Gxy Vi told me that you and


    Skr haven’te home for the past few days. What’s going on?”


    Joe understood. This question was the main purpose of Gloria’s call.


    He looked back down and said, “Janine identally broke her leg. Skr has been taking care of


    her at home. Sometimes, I visit her and stay a few nights.”


    He didn’t give full disclosure. Joe had been staying somewhere else.


    “That exins things. I haven’t seen Janine before. I’ll ask her to meet after she recovers. The two


    of you got married just like that. It’s a little uneptable for the two of you to have done so without a


    wedding. I’ll talk to her. Then, we’ll n your wedding,” Gloria said.


    “As to the wedding… we’re not in a hurry. We’ll talk about it in the future,” Joe said lowly.


    Gloria raised her voice and said, “What do you mean you’re not in a hurry? Of course you aren’t in a


    hurry. You’re a man. How about Skr? What woman wouldn’t like to have a wedding? Only at a


    wedding will the people in Jipsburg get to know her, and be aware that she’s your wife. Alright. I’ll


    arrange for this.”


    Joe’s eyes darkened. He believed that Skr had fallen for Aiken. He was a charismatic man.


    There were rumors that Aiken had a new hobby of collecting antiques. He’d even bought a series of


    books about it.


    Joe pursed his lips. How invested.


    Gloria huffed.


    Upon hearing this, Edgar knew that she’d gotten angry.
