Richest Mogul 1069


    At that moment, Skr feltpletely drained as she finished her shower.


    Joe had offered to help her, and though she was exhausted, she initially thought it might be easier


    just to


    let him.


    However, when she got out of bed, she noticed the marks on her legs and the other marks on her


    body. She couldn’t bring herself to face Joe like that, even though he was the one who had left


    those marks.


    Skr found it impossible to confront him about them after their intimacy. After she returned to bed,


    Joe pulled her into his arms and called Gloria.


    Even though the phone wasn’t on speaker, Skr could still hear Gloria’s strong voice, scolding and


    threatening Joe.


    “You better handle things properly, and don’t you dare hurt Skye. If you ever hurt her, I won’t forgive


    you. Even if this engagement is just for show, if she’s unhappy with it, you’ll end it immediately.”


    Gloria paused, letting out a heavy sigh. “You two have been through so much already. It breaks my


    heart. to watch. If it ever gets too hard, tell me. I’ll exin everything to Skye. I just don’t know


    who’s behind all this. I’ve lived a long life, and besides Vi, I’ve never seen anyone so capable.


    “In any case, be careful. Protect Skye well and make sure to exin things clearly to her. You two


    must stick together; don’t let anyone drive a wedge between you, understand?”


    Gloria was truly worried. She used to think that growing old would mean fewer troubles. But now, in


    her old age, she realized there were still so many things she couldn’t let go of or afford to let go.


    Joe responded, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything. Mr. Gardner Senior and Mr. Querbach


    Senior both support what I’m doing. We’ll protect Skr.”


    Gloria sighed in relief. “That’s good. If they support your actions, the person behind all this is


    growing bolder. You need to be extra cautious.”


    Joe agreed softly, then asked Skr, “Do you want to say a few words to Grandma?” His voice was


    gentle.


    After their intimacy, Joe had always been easy to talk to, and the natural aloofness that usually


    surrounded him had significantly diminished.


    When Gloria heard this, she quickly asked, “Is Skye with you?”


    “Yes, we’re in bed,” Joe replied promptly. Skr quickly took the phone from Joe’s hand, fearing he


    might say something inappropriate to Gloria.


    She feared losing the courage to face Gloria if he did.


    “Grandma, it’s me. I just returned from the countryside and was a bit tired, so I napped. Don’t worry.


    I know about Joe’s ns, and we’ll face everything together.”


    Gloria chuckled warmly. “Good, good. If you’re tired, you should rest a bit longer. I believe you two


    can handle this together.”


    After a moment, Gloria hung up the phone and turned to Edgar with a smile. “They really think I’m


    an old fossil who can’t tell what’s going on, huh? I had endless energy when I was young, and now I


    see Joe has some of that too.”


    Edgar replied, “There will surely be more intruders looking to disturb youter, so don’t let them see


    you smiling, Mrs. Martin Senior.”


    2/2


    The Martin family was in an uproar after hearing about Joe’s divorce from Skr and his quick


    engagement to someone they didn’t know.


    Everyone wanted to visit Gloria in the hospital, hoping to arrange Joe’s marriage to someone who


    would benefit them.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Upon hearing this, Gloria’s expression immediately darkened. “Thanks for the reminder. These


    people are so troublesome. Instead of helping Joe face everything, they only create more trouble for


    him.”
