Chapter 781
“Perhaps Mr. Martin would like to give Mrs. Martin a surprise. After all, these youngsters might prefer
a different type of wedding.”
Gloria thought Edgar’s words made sense. She said, “That might be possible. However, I feel like
they’ve encountered some problems in their rtionship. In addition, Vera has returned. I can’t help
but worry
about them.”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Martin Senior. I don’t think anything will happen to them. Look, Mr. Martin is
helping Mrs. Martin take care of her mother. He wouldn’t have done so in the past. He looks
unfeeling but is a softie on the inside. He adores Mrs. Martin. Yet, he doesn’t voice his feelings,”
Edgar said. It was as though he’d seen through them.
Gloria nodded and said, “I’ll believe that. Skr is a one–in–a–million girl. I’m afraid Joe will regret
letting Skye go. When he regrets his decision and tries to beg for her toe home to him, she
wouldn’t even spare him a look.”
So that was what she was concerned about.
Edgar couldn’t help but chuckle. He said, “Don’t worry. Mr. Martin knows what he’s doing.”
He was confused. If Joe cared deeply about Vera, why didn’t he go overseas to look for her and
bring her home to marry her?
The crux of the situation was that Vera wasn’t important to Joe.
However, some things had to be experienced firsthand by those youngsters. Their advice wouldn’t
be of much help.
The second Joe crossed the threshold of Avalon Residence, the group of chatting men turned to
him immediately. Among them was Garth, who had imed to be gravely sick. Denton was present
as well along with other members of the Martin family.
With so many people there, the atmosphere brimmed with liveliness.
Garth, who was allegedly down with a mysterious disease, waved at Joe and said, “Finally, Joe has
arrived. Come over. Mr. Ruell Senior has just got here as well.”
Denton’s eyes lit up upon seeing Joe. He said, “I haven’t seen you for the past few years. At long
last we can meet. You’re able to hold your own now.”
A few years ago, he’d thought that Joe wouldn’t be able to lead the Martin family.
Yet, he had solidified the status and position of the Martin family in Jipsburg within a few years. They
were doing better than ever.
Coincidentally, Vera had thought things through and decided to return. It was time to confirm their
engagement.
An icy re flickered across Joe’s eyes as he scanned the men present. He greeted, “Uncle Garth,
Mr. Ruell Senior.”
Skr was startled awake from a nightmare. She thought someone was beside her, but when she
nced over, nothing was there.

All the lights were off. The room was cloaked in darkness.
She turned themp on and got out of bed. Skr retrieved a towel and wiped at the sweat on her
forehead.
Every detail of the dream seemed so real. Skr hadn’t dreamt like that in a long time.
In her dream, Joe was under the influence of a negative item. He didn’t recognize Gloria or Skr.
After divorcing her, Joe married Vera. He even allowed Vera to hire a group of men to kidnap her
and auction her off on the ck market. Perhaps he believed their marriage was a blemish in his
otherwise wless reputation.
Skr’s dream ended with her being auctioned off for a million dors. Her future was damningly
bleak.
Skr knew it was a nightmare. She was aware that she’d been dealing with many negative items
recently. It was taking a toll on her. Although it wouldn’t be able to harm her, it did give her a scare
in her dreams.
Only… It seemed so real, as though it was ying out in real life.
After dabbing at her sweat, any traces of drowsiness had left her. She felt rather thirsty. Skr went
downstairs to get some water.
Suddenly, she heard noises from the door, illuminated by the moonlight.
Skr questioned alertly, “Who’s there?”
