“Perhaps Mr. Martin would like to give Mrs. Martin a surprise. After all, these youngsters might prefer a different type of wedding.”
Gloria thought Edgar’s words made sense. She said, “That might be possible. However, I feel like they’ve encountered some problems in their relationship. In addition, Vera has returned. I can’t help but worry
about them.”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Martin Senior. I don’t think anything will happen to them. Look, Mr. Martin is helping Mrs. Martin take care of her mother. He wouldn’t have done so in the past. He looks unfeeling but is a softie on the inside. He adores Mrs. Martin. Yet, he doesn’t voice his feelings,” Edgar said. It was as though he’d seen through them.
Gloria nodded and said, “I’ll believe that. Skylar is a one–in–a–million girl. I’m afraid Joe will regret letting Skye go. When he regrets his decision and tries to beg for her to come home to him, she wouldn’t even spare him a look.”
So that was what she was concerned about.
Edgar couldn’t help but chuckle. He said, “Don’t worry. Mr. Martin knows what he’s doing.”
He was confused. If Joe cared deeply about Vera, why didn’t he go overseas to look for her and bring her home to marry her?
The crux of the situation was that Vera wasn’t important to Joe.
However, some things had to be experienced firsthand by those youngsters. Their advice wouldn’t be of much help. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The second Joe crossed the threshold of Avalon Residence, the group of chatting men turned to him immediately. Among them was Garth, who had claimed to be gravely sick. Denton was present as well along with other members of the Martin family.
With so many people there, the atmosphere brimmed with liveliness.
Garth, who was allegedly down with a mysterious disease, waved at Joe and said, “Finally, Joe has arrived. Come over. Mr. Ruell Senior has just got here as well.”
Denton’s eyes lit up upon seeing Joe. He said, “I haven’t seen you for the past few years. At long last we can meet. You’re able to hold your own now.”
A few years ago, he’d thought that Joe wouldn’t be able to lead the Martin family.
Yet, he had solidified the status and position of the Martin family in Jipsburg within a few years. They were doing better than ever.
Coincidentally, Vera had thought things through and decided to return. It was time to confirm their
engagement.
An icy glare flickered across Joe’s eyes as he scanned the men present. He greeted, “Uncle Garth, Mr. Ruell Senior.”
Skylar was startled awake from a nightmare. She thought someone was beside her, but when she glanced over, nothing was there.

All the lights were off. The room was cloaked in darkness.
She turned the lamp on and got out of bed. Skylar retrieved a towel and wiped at the sweat on her forehead.
Every detail of the dream seemed so real. Skylar hadn’t dreamt like that in a long time.
In her dream, Joe was under the influence of a negative item. He didn’t recognize Gloria or Skylar. After divorcing her, Joe married Vera. He even allowed Vera to hire a group of men to kidnap her and auction her off on the black market. Perhaps he believed their marriage was a blemish in his otherwise flawless reputation.
Skylar’s dream ended with her being auctioned off for a million dollars. Her future was damningly bleak.
Skylar knew it was a nightmare. She was aware that she’d been dealing with many negative items recently. It was taking a toll on her. Although it wouldn’t be able to harm her, it did give her a scare in her dreams.
Only… It seemed so real, as though it was playing out in real life.
After dabbing at her sweat, any traces of drowsiness had left her. She felt rather thirsty. Skylar went downstairs to get some water.
Suddenly, she heard noises from the door, illuminated by the moonlight.
Skylar questioned alertly, “Who’s there?”
