Ts everything taken care of? Joe asked
“It’s taken care of Mr. Lourdes told me to leave first, and he’ll handle the rest,” Skylar replied as she got
into the car
Skylar knew she wouldn’t have been able to get Jacky to handle this matter without Joe’s help, so she
added. “Thank you”
“How are you going to thank me?” Joe flicked his cigarette, his gaze distant and deep.
His low and sexy voice came through the phone, just like when he seduced her at night, whispering in her ear. Every word made her heart race. Even though Joe wasn’t beside her, Skylar’s face turned red.
“T’ll treat you to dinner,” she said, taking a deep breath and trying to keep her voice calm.”
Joe snuffed his cigarette in the ashtray and exhaled the last puff. “I’ll eat you.”
“What?” Skylar’s heart skipped a beat, thinking she had misheard.
Hearing Skylar’s surprised response, Joe seemed to envision her shocked expression, and somehow, the Irritation in his chest dissipated.
“Think carefully about how to thank me tonight.”
Skylar heard him loud and clear this time.
“Wasn’t last night-*
She stopped herself mid–sentence.
“Aren’t you worried about overworking yourself, Mr. Martin?” Skylar touched her burning face, trying to suppress the vivid images flashing through her mind,
Joe replied, “A few more times wouldn’t hurt.”
Skylar was speechless.
Skylar didn’t go to work and took another day off. She first went to visit Janine and explained the current
situation.
Janine was furious with the Williamses, calling them immoral, selfish, and despicable.
Steven was also there. They were relieved to hear that Skylar had hired a lawyer. That would resolve the issue well, and they wouldn’t have to face the Williamses themselves.
“This time they should learn their lesson and stop bothering you,” Steven said gravely. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Skylar smiled and said, “They’re quite forgetful, but they can’t hurt me.”
Steven was about to say something when he suddenly thought of Joe.

The Williamses couldn’t hurt Skylar with Joe around. He had heard from friends about Jacky, the legal
advisor for the Martin Group, a legendary lawyer in Jipsburg. He could resolve any issue.
Suddenly, Steven remembered the recent incident involving Skylar, Christopher, and Maisy. Joe’s
involvement was probably how Skylar could turn the situation around so quickly.
“No matter what, you must be careful in the future,” Janine advised worriedly.
“Okay, Mom, don’t worry.”
After a while, Charles called to check on the situation. There were no secrets in their circle.
Samuel had many fans and was often followed by paparazzi. He recently lost a lot of work, and there
were rumors that his career in the entertainment industry was over.
In just a few days, Samuel’s entire family had ended up at the police station, and a popular TV show was
also involved. The news spread rapidly within an hour.
“Don’t worry, Charles. It’s been settled.”
Charles was still a bit uneasy.
“Samuel is petty and vengeful. This time, things got a bit out of hand. Now both he and the show’s crew are trending on social media. Luckily, no videos or photos has you inside. In the future, if you
see them, just avoid them. It’s not about being afraid of them; it’s about avoiding unnecessary trouble.”
Skylar felt warm inside and nodded, “Okay.”
On her way back to Galaxy Villa, Skylar received a message from Jacky.
