Chapter 77
Several people around Joe, who were reporting their progress on work tasks, noticed his sudden change in demeanor. Frightened, they became more cautious in their speech.
Paul hadn’t noticed anything earlier, but now he couldn’t believe his eyes. Sitting at the only occupied table in the restaurant nearby was Skylar

He stole a glance at Joe’s expression. It was quite intimidating. Did Joe and Skylar have a fight? He still
seemed angry with Skylar
Even though Paul hadn’t interacted much with Skylar, she seemed very amicable. Could Joe’s anger be related to the photos he had sent him before?
After finishing their stew, Natalie insisted on taking Skylar somewhere nice to show her what real men
were like. But just as they got into the car, Natalie’s phone rang.
“Yes, honey?”
“My mom isn’t feeling well. Can you go check on her? I’m on a business trip in Haulbus and can’t come back right now.” Jeremy’s voice came through the phone.
Natalie frowned. “You went to Haulbus?”
“I arrived this morning. I’ll be back the day after tomorrow, Jeremy replied indifferently before hanging up.
Natalie stared at her phone in a daze.
Realizing Skylar was beside her, she snapped out of it and apologized, “Sorry, Skye, we can’t go today.”
“Next time, then. I’ll drive you home.” Skylar sensed Natalie’s change in mood.
That phone call had clearly dampened her friend’s usually cheerful demeanor.
Skylar had met Natalie’s husband, Jeremy Hughes, before. They had known each other since childhood and had grown up in the same area.
Despite their differing family backgrounds, with Jeremy’s family becoming well–off later on, their prearranged marriage still bound them together.
Jeremy, three years older than Natalie, had always taken care of her, so they got married shortly after Natalie graduated.
If there were any issues, they were likely just minor spats between the couple.
After dropping Natalie off at Hughes Residence, Skylar noticed a store still open and decided to buy two
sets of men’s clothing.
Since she passed by Steven’s dorm, she wanted to give him the clothes.
However, he was busy and wasn’t in. So, she texted him to inform him that she had left his clothes with the security guard in the neighborhood. He could pick them up when he returned.
As she walked back to the parking lot, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“Skye, you already know what happened. I’m also a victim here. Amy had a crush on me and kept bothering me. Those photos you saw before and the videos circulating online are all fake.
“After Amy got plastic surgery, she looked a lot like Malsy. They look like twins from a distance. I’m not going to break up with you. I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Skylar frowned at the shameless Christopher. “Let go.”
