Chapter 518
Skylar looked at Joe. She wondered what else he wanted to say.
“If you ever find yourself in a situation like this again, just say your husband is Joe Martin,” he stated.
Skylar didn’t know why she wanted to laugh, but she held it back. She didn’t expect Joe to have such a childish side.
This was the first time she had encountered such an incident. If it happened again, she doubted anyone would believe her, even if she claimed Joe as her husband.
Their eyes met briefly. Skylar noticed him look away, averting her gaze.
“Alright,” she agreed.
While Skylar went upstairs to shower, Joe received a call from Jeremy.
Jeremy said, “I heard what happened earlier.”

Joe replied, “Mr. Hughes Senior has been too lenient with Andrew. Tell him Skylar is my wife.”
Jeremy asked, “You want to make Andrew pay?”
Joe scoffed and said, “At least break his leg. He tried to sleep with my wife. I almost want to kill him.”
After saying that, Joe realized he was possessive of Skylar. The thought of another man coveting her was intolerable. Perhaps it was because they were
married.
“Good. I’ve had enough of Andrew. This is the perfect opportunity to deal with him,” Jeremy agreed without hesitation.
Joe gave a noncommittal grunt.
Just as Joe thought Jeremy was about to hang up, he spoke again. “Has Skylar ever mentioned anything about Nath?”
“She knows you cheated?” Joe asked in return.
Jeremy took a drag from his cigarette. The ashtray was already filled with

cigarette butts. His expression grew even darker in the night. “Natalie found out. She wants a divorce.”
“A divorce? Did you agree?”
“I can’t agree to a divorce. Has Skylar shared any of Nath’s thoughts with you?”
Joe was silent for a few seconds. “Skylar and I aren’t at the stage where we share secrets about others.”
“Alright, I understand,” Jeremy said before hanging up.
Joe looked at his phone’s dark screen and tossed it aside. He glanced upstairs, his brows furrowing slightly.
There was an inexplicable sense of gloom hanging over Joe. This was a heaviness he couldn’t quite shake off.
The next day, around noon, Skylar headed to a restaurant as per the time and location sent by Annie.
It was a quiet, upscale Wiscadian restaurant. It was perfect for private conversations.
Annie had also chosen this restaurant for their previous meeting. Ten minutes before Skylar arrived, Annie sent her message. She said she was already there. When Skylar walked in, she found Annie had already ordered their meals.
