Chapter 863
Skylar and Natalie walked and laughed together, not noticing Vera. They only noticed her when they got close.
Skylar's smile faded when she saw Vera.
Vera didn't say anything. She just nodded slightly at Skylar. Skylar returned the gesture.
Natalie wasn't very familiar with Vera. They had only seen each other a few times, mostly through various news outlets, so she didn't greet her.'
After they walked a short distance, Natalie quickly whispered to Skylar, "I've heard about Vera before. She's supposed to be a proud person who doesn't tolerate any nonsense.
"You should avoid interacting with her too much when you see her. I don't think she's easy to deal with."
Skylar just nodded. She didn't say much about Vera. After parting ways with Natalie on the street, she
returned to work.
Standing by the mall entrance, Vera silently watched Skylar walk into Gardner Group. She looked lost in thought, her expression unreadable.
It was only the sudden ring of her phone that she finally broke from her daze.
"Hello, Mrs. Martin," Vera said, frowning slightly. She wondered why Molly was calling her again.
She didn't particularly like Joe's stepmother. Molly was a former actress who often pretended to be sweet and sincere, but Vera found her insincere and irritating.
"We didn't tell you earlier because we thought Joe wouldn't really care for Skylar and would eventually divorce her. But now we have to tell you, they've been married for over six months now."
Molly's voice came through slowly, but Vera felt her world was shaken. Her ears started buzzing. "What did you say?"
"I have a way to help you get back with Joe, but you'll need to follow my advice..."
Molly continued speaking, but Vera was too shocked to hear anything else. Her mind was a blur.
Married... They were married...
No wonder Skylar always carried herself with such grace whenever they met. She never acted like a
mistress.
No wonder, back at the hospital, Joe introduced Skylar as his wife,
So, Skylar really was his wife.
He had waited all these years, and Vera wondered why he couldn't just wait a little longer for her.
He knew how proud she was. If he had just come to find her abroad and made her a promise, she would have returned long ago.
Instead, he married a woman from the countryside.
He got married.
After working for two hours, Skylar took a break to make herself a cup of coffee. While she sipped her coffee, she couldn't help but think about Jenny.
After some deliberation, she decided to contact Paul.
"Mrs. Martin, is there something you need? Just say the word!" Paul greeted her cheerfully.
Skylar couldn't help but smile. She
asked, "There's nothing in particular that I need, but I do have a question. When Jenny was working at your company, did she ever have the opportunity to enter Joe's office?"
"Are you concerned that someone might have used Jenny? Mr. Martin's office hasn't had anything new, and he's been very meticulous about the arrangement these past couple of months.
"But I'll take another good look. If needed, kcan also check the surveillance footage from the time Jenny, joined the company," Paul said. He didn't dare to speaktoo definitively.
If Jenny could secretly be involved with Joe's father, other unbelievable things wouldn't be impossible.
Since it involved Joe, Paul needed to be cautious.
Skylar knew Paul's capabilities, so she felt reassured and said, "Alright."
Just as Skylar was about to hang up, Paul suddenly added, "Mrs. Martin, if you're worried about Mr.
Martin, you could always to the company to check things yourself. I mean, I might overlook something, and.....”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
