Chapter 581
After finishing, Joe took his clothes and walked out of their bedroom. Skylar watched him leave.
Joe’s words had exacerbated her headache from her hangover. Thankfully, he’d only been kidding. He hadn’t meant it. However, Joe had miscalculated this time despite his previous success in scheming.

Skylar learned what happened last night from a call with Natalie on the way to work. Joe had gone over to pick her up.
“You have no idea, Skye. I was dumbstruck when Joe showed up. You’re doing well for yourself, Skye. He looks like he loves you. Stay with him. Although Joe might seem like an unapproachable iceberg of a man, he cares about you infinitely. He was
o gentle when he carried you out. Literal boyfriend goals.”
Skylar’s knuckles turned white around the steering wheel. She did not explain the truth to Natalie.
After all, Natalie had gotten drunk last night. How would a drunk woman know whether he was gentle with Skylar or whether he adored her?
“Focus on driving. We’ll talk soon. I’m on the way to work. I’ll be leaving Jipsburg tomorrow. Once I’m back, we’ll work on raising your tolerance to alcohol. With how lousy you are at holding your liquor, you’ll be gobbled up by Joe in no time.”
Natalie only hung up after teasing her once again.
Skylar was driving Joe’s car. Her car would only be ready in two days.
Although it was the least flashy car in his garage, Skylar’s colleagues still crowded over when she arrived at the office.
“Skylar, is this your car?”
“Nah, it belongs to a friend of mine. My car got rear–ended yesterday,” Skylar replied.
Her colleague hummed in acknowledgment as they studied the car. She said, “I’ve seen this car online. It’s a limited edition model with a formidable price. One would only be able to look at it as a result. Rumor has it that there are less than ten of them in Jipsburg. Your friend is amazing. He’s able to lend such an impressive car to you.”
She was extremely jealous.
Skylar smiled and said that she knew little about cars. Then, she went upstairs with her colleague.
Just as she got ready to work, Alexander sent word that he would like to meet her.
Once Skylar met Alexander, he passed two pictures to her. He said, “Come take a look. This was given to me by one of my friends, Harry Solarius. He lives in Liberty County after retiring.
“Two years ago, he bought this overseas. Afterward, chaos befell his family. His children were involved in car accidents, and others fell sick. Coincidentally, I saw this painting hung on his wall. Could this painting have been the cause?”
“Alright, I’ll take a look at it.”
Skylar scrutinized the two pictures. Then, she shook her head and said, “There’s nothing wrong with the painting.”

“Is there nothing wrong with the painting? Can you come to Liberty County and look at his house?”

Many things had happened to Harry. He’d been busy in the past and did not have time to contact him. Recently, a series of weird happenings had occurred. Alexander felt like a puppetmaster of fate was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Without hesitation, Skylar agreed, “Alright. You can set a time for it.”
“That’s great. I’ll start making arrangements. If possible, we should make the trip by today. It takes around five hours to get there. We’ll be able to come back by tomorrow.”
Alexander immediately called his driver to set a time.
Skylar thought for a moment. Then, she called Joe. He must’ve been in a meeting and had muted his phone. He did not pick up.
Thus, she sent a message to Joe, saying, “I’ll be going to Liberty County to help Alexander with something. I’ll be back by tomorrow.”
Initially, she was going to ask him not to worry. After some thought, she believed that he wouldn’t worry about her anyway. She deleted that.
