Chapter 863


    ?


    Skr and Natalie walked andughed together, not noticing Vera. They only noticed her when they got close.


    Skr''s smile faded when she saw Vera.


    Vera didn''t say anything. She just nodded slightly at Skr. Skr returned the gesture.


    Natalie wasn''t very familiar with Vera. They had only seen each other a few times, mostly through various news outlets, so she didn''t greet her.''Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    After they walked a short distance, Natalie quickly whispered to Skr, "I''ve heard about Vera before. She''s supposed to be a proud person who doesn''t tolerate any nonsense.


    "You should avoid interacting with her too much when you see her. I don''t think she''s easy to deal with."


    Skr just nodded. She didn''t say much about Vera. After parting ways with Natalie on the street, she


    returned to work.


    Standing by the mall entrance, Vera silently watched Skr walk into Gardner Group. She looked lost in thought, her expression unreadable.


    It was only the sudden ring of her phone that she finally broke from her daze.


    "Hello, Mrs. Martin," Vera said, frowning slightly. She wondered why Molly was calling her again.


    She didn''t particrly like Joe''s stepmother. Molly was a former actress who often pretended to be sweet and sincere, but Vera found her insincere and irritating.


    "We didn''t tell you earlier because we thought Joe wouldn''t really care for Skr and would eventually divorce her. But now we have to tell you, they''ve been married for over six months now."


    Molly''s voice came through slowly, but Vera felt her world was shaken. Her ears started buzzing. "What did you say?"


    "I have a way to help you get back with Joe, but you''ll need to follow my advice..."


    Molly continued speaking, but Vera was too shocked to hear anything else. Her mind was a blur.


    Married... They were married...


    No wonder Skr always carried herself with such grace whenever they met. She never acted like a


    mistress.


    No wonder, back at the hospital, Joe introduced Skr as his wife,


    So, Skr really was his wife.


    He had waited all these years, and Vera wondered why he couldn''t just wait a little longer for her.


    He knew how proud she was. If he had juste to find her abroad and made her a promise, she would have returned long ago.


    Instead, he married a woman from the countryside.


    He got married.


    After working for two hours, Skr took a break to make herself a cup of coffee. While she sipped her coffee, she couldn''t help but think about Jenny.


    After some deliberation, she decided to contact Paul.


    "Mrs. Martin, is there something you need? Just say the word!" Paul greeted her cheerfully.


    Skr couldn''t help but smile. She


    asked, "There''s nothing in particr that I need, but I do have a question. When Jenny was working at yourpany, did she ever have the opportunity to enter Joe''s office?"


    "Are you concerned that someone might have used Jenny? Mr. Martin''s office hasn''t had anything new, and he''s been very meticulous about the arrangement these past couple of months.


    "But I''ll take another good look. If needed, kcan also check the surveince footage from the time Jenny, joined thepany," Paul said. He didn''t dare to speaktoo definitively.


    If Jenny could secretly be involved with Joe''s father, other unbelievable things wouldn''t be impossible.


    Since it involved Joe, Paul needed to be cautious.


    Skr knew Paul''s capabilities, so she felt reassured and said, "Alright."


    Just as Skr was about to hang up, Paul suddenly added, "Mrs. Martin, if you''re worried about Mr.


    Martin, you could always to thepany to check things yourself. I mean, I might overlook something, and.....”
