    owan quickly answered the call. “Skr?”


    [t’s me, Rowan. I need your help with something urgent,” she said, getting straight to the


    ?int.


    owan responded without hesitation, “Just tell me what it is. I’ll help with whatever I can.‘


    oe is at Avalon Residence…” Skr exined the situation swiftly–Joe seemed to have been


    rugged, and it was likely that the people at Avalon Residence wouldn’t allow him to leave


    sily.


    owan took it seriously. “I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll head to Avalon Residence right now. I’ll call izzie on


    the way and guide her on how to handle them. I’ll get Joe out safely, I promise. Tell oward to get


    ready.”


    here wasn’t time to question why Skr and Lizzie knew each other or why Skr was still


    ? concerned about Joe after the divorce.


    one of that mattered right now. What mattered was that Skr needed his help.


    nd if the Martin family thought they could mess with Joe, they would have to see if they even


    ad the guts to pull it off.


    hey had already caused trouble recently and were still at it. Rowan couldn’t believe it. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    fter hearing Rowan’s reassurance, Skr felt a bit of relief. Before she got on the subway, she


    ontacted Howard and asked him to head to their ce.


    hen, she tried calling Paul again. This time, he picked up.


    Mrs. Martin, I couldn’t answer earlier. Something might happen to Mr. Martin. Ernest


    ffered him drinks before everyone, and Mr. Martin couldn’t refuse.


    He got drunk and was taken to a guest room. Lizzie is with him now. I got caught up with Mr.udio


    and couldn’t help right away…”


    efore he could finish, Skr interrupted, “I’ve sent Rowan over.”


    aul breathed a sigh of relief. “You’re quick to act, Mrs. Martin. But don’t worry too much-


    ere are many guests around, so they can’t do anything drastic. Moreover, I hired a few odyguards


    before we came. They’re stationed outside, just in case.”


    ctually, Joe had anticipated some trouble before arriving. He knew Ernest and the others ould pull


    something.


    ut drugging him in front of so many people indicated that Ernest wanted to tear away any emaining


    pretense.

    “Good,” Skr said, feeling a bit more at ease after hearing Paul’s update.


    It seemed that she was overthinking things.


    After ending the call, she took the subway back home. About an hourter, a call from an unknown


    number came through.


    “Hello?”


    “Have you figured things out all this time? I just saw Joe and Lizzie together. They went to a guest


    room, and it was obvious what they were doing. He won’te back to you now.” udio’s voice


    dripped with malice.


    Skr didn’t expect udio to be so persistent. Hearing his voice made her feel a surge of disgust.


    She said, “If you keep calling me, I’ll report you to the police.”


    udio threatened her. “Are you nning to ruin your own life? Without Joe, how will you survive in


    Jipsburg? If you don’te to me, believe me, I can make things difficult for your family.”


    With a sharp intake of breath, Skr immediately ended the call. There was no point in talking to


    someone like udio.


    udio stared at the screen, his face darkening in anger. He gritted his teeth, seething with


    rage.


    “Fine! Let’s see how you react when you realize just how severe the consequences of provoking me


    can be.”


    Before, Joe had protected her, but now… Joe might not even be able to protect himself.


    udio walked over to the bedside and pulled out an ancient–looking emerald pendant with a


    distinctly strong aura from beneath his pillow.


    “Now I’m actually d we have this bit of blood rtion,” he said.
