    Justin made a cup of coffee for Vera. Vera took a few sips absentmindedly. Her face twisted into a


    slight frown–either the bitterness or the unfamiliar brand disagreed with her.


    She said, “Christophermitted suicide.”


    Justin, calm as ever, replied, “You should stop targeting Skr. If things escte again, they won’t


    be as easy to manage as this time.”


    To them, Christopher’s suicide was insignificant. He was just an ordinary, greedy man. He yed


    the game poorly and ended up losing his life–he brought it upon himself.


    Vera’s face darkened. “I didn’t expect this mess. I just wanted him to show up and maybe make


    Skr leave Joe. But he went and kidnapped her. Even worse, he aplished nothing.”


    “Thest time I saw Skr, she seemed very sharp. She probably sensed something was off. You


    should keep your distance from both her and Joe for a while,” Justin added. Whether Vera listened


    or not, he felt it was necessary to warn her.


    Vera scowled and frowned impatiently. “Of course she’s smart. How else could shetch onto Joe


    and never let go?”


    These were things Vera could only say to Justin. If she vented to anyone else, they would think that


    Vera was too concerned about Skr’s presence. To most people, Skr was just an ordinary


    person. She was not worth Vera’s attention.

    “Maybe Joe likes her,” Justin suggested.


    “Impossible!” Vera quickly denied it. Her face turned pale.


    Realizing she might have said too much, she silently finished her coffee with a cold expression.


    The next few days passed in a blur of busyness for Skr, her schedule packed from morning till


    night. By Friday, Skr had nned to skip lunch to catch up on work, but her close colleagues


    invited her to a nearby barbecue joint.


    Caleb was exhausted, his eyes bloodshot from fatigue. He mentioned wanting to have a barbecue


    to regain his energy, so he agreed to join his colleagues for some team–building over lunch.


    The group of ten or so filled thergest private room at the barbecue restaurant. The ce had a


    unique style, and the food was exceptionally good.


    Skr took the opportunity to snap a photo and send it to Natalie. She suggested theye here


    for a meal after Natalie’s return.


    After a short while, Skr felt overly full and bloated, so she went to the restroom. Once she


    emerged, she took a moment to get some fresh air at the entrance.


    As she did, Natalie replied to her message. The two chatted on WhatsApp for a while.


    Natalie said, “Skye, Mr. Powell has been asking me to rehearse with him a lot these past few days.


    Do you think he thinks my acting is good? Should I consider debuting?”


    It seemed Austin’spliments had stirred Natalie’s ambition regarding her acting career. Skr


    didn’t


    want to dampen Natalie’s enthusiasm. She said, “The day you debut, I’ll be your biggest fan.”


    Natalie replied, “Skye, I love you more than anything!”

    After chatting a bit more, Skr felt her stomach settle and decided to head back to the private


    room. As she did, she overheard a conversation between two people nearby.


    “Rowan left his family and went against them for you. It seems like he’s really set on marrying you.


    You’re quite something. How did you manage to make him so devoted to you?”


    “I didn’t do anything. I actually didn’t want him to have a fallout with his family.”


    “That’s true. After the fallout, without his family’s support, who knows what the future holds for


    him…” Jenny’s friend’s words trailed off, leaving the rest unsaid.
