    As Joe was about to continue, someone alled. His expression


    turned grave while on the phone.


    Skr and Steven were silent.


    Joe asked, “Is he dead?”


    The person on the line responded inaudibly to Skr. Joe hung up and informed Skr, “I’m going


    out.”


    “You’ve been drinking. You can’t drive,” reminded Skr.


    Joe nodded and replied, “Lucas ising to pick me up.”


    It was probably an emergency, as Joe left immediately, leaving Skr


    with Joe.


    “Skye, take care of yourself and carry pepper spray wherever you go. Sometimes, you’ve got to be


    a little selfish. Don’t interfere with the business of others.” Steven only had eyes for Skr’s safety.


    He


    couldn’t be bothered to think for others.


    Steven would rather she stay away if someone had been too greedy and brought misfortune onto


    themselves.


    Skr was afraid Steven would be worried. She said obediently, “I’ll listen to you. I’ve already put


    pepper spray in my bag.”


    Steven’s worry subsided upon hearing that. He checked his watch and said, “It’s gettingte now. I’ll


    tidy up the cutleries with you. Get an early rest tonight.”


    “Alright.”


    Skr received a phone call from Paul half an hourter.


    “Mrs. Martin, I’ve sent Lucas to pick you up from Gxy Vi. Mr. Martin is injured. He’s in the


    hospital now,” Paul said hurriedly.


    Skr immediately asked, “How did it happen? What did the doctors say?”


    “It’s hard to exin through the phone. Mr. Martin didn’t want me to inform you, but I thought you


    should know,” said Paul.


    Skr asked no further questions and went to change.


    Within 20 minutes, she arrived at Apollo Hospital, where Paul waited for her in the corridor.


    “Mr. Martin is being stitched up inside. He was injured in multiple areas. Two of his wounds were


    quite deep. They were bleeding severely,” Paul exined with furrowed brows. This was the first


    time he’d seen Joe injured so badly in his long career as his secretary.

    Skr asked solemnly, “How did he get hurt?”


    Did it have anything to do with the call he received?


    Paul told her what happened.


    The call he’d taken was from one of his elderly rtives in the Martin family. Edwin and his cousin,


    Derek, had been having fun in a club. They’d ordered a few girls to keep thempany. For some


    reason, they got into a disagreement and began brawling.


    Edwin beat Derek up till he was ck and blue. Two of the girls were injured in the process. Their


    legs had been broken.


    The club owner knew Rowan and contacted Joe through him. When Joe arrived, he immediately


    sent Edwin to the hospital.


    Derek had always disliked Joe. He felt that Joe had been taking the spotlight away from his son.


    When Joe arrived, Derek mocked Joe


    and Edwin.
