Chapter 642
Edwin nodded and said, “I’ll leave it to you. You don’t need to report every aspect of the plan.”
“Alright, I’ll make the necessary arrangements. Darling, you’ve got a bunch of things to handle. This is only a small matter. I’ll deal with it,” Molly assured softly.
She massaged Edwin’s shoulders. Her gentleness and thoughtfulness were what Edwin loved most about
her.
Countless women had warmed his bed, but Molly was the only one he’d ever loved. He’d never regretted the decision he’d made back then. The only person he owed an apology to was Joe.
Skylar and Joe ate lunch together at a pasta restaurant opposite her office.
Joe told Skylar about the situation Jeremy was in.
Skylar said grimly, “I feel like a pair of sinister hands are approaching you from the shadows, and they will strike when you least expect it.”
I have you. I don’t care,” Joe insisted nonchalantly.
Skylar visited Pearlhall Residence frequently and spent most of her time with Joe. Skylar believed that both Joe and Gloria would be fine.
“Sometimes, I might miss out on some things. The key is to stay determined to prevent yourself from being seduced by those negative items,” Skylar explained.
Joe raised a brow and asked, “Are you saying I’m not determined enough?”
Skylar didn’t know what to say in response. Although he possessed resolve, he occasionally let his instincts take over.
Suddenly, Skylar turned around.
Joe noticed her actions and asked, “What are you looking at?”
“Nothing,” Skylar replied. After looking around, she confirmed that it was probably just her imagination No one was looking at her.
Joe followed Skylar’s gaze. His eyes darkened when he caught a glimpse of something. After a brief pause, he looked back at Skylar and said, “I’ll take you back to the office later before leaving.”
“Alright.”
Half an hour later, Joe dropped Skylar back at Gardner Group.
On the way back to the Martin Group, Joe called Paul and ordered, “Get Skylar a few bodyguards to protect her. Then, check whether anyone is stalking Skylar.”
They hadn’t seen each other for years. Joe had forgotten how he operated. He could utilize evil tactics as long as it got the job done.
Skylar wouldn’t be able to handle such sinister darkness.
Paul heeded Joe’s orders immediately. He said, “I’ll arrange for it now. The men will be stationed by her side within an hour.”
“Okay.”

Jenny left Martin Group with a grin on her face.
On the cab, she shared the great news with her friends. She’d gotten into the Martin Group without the help of anyone else.
She would become colleagues with Joe in the future. She didn’t know how Joe would react upon seeing her in the office.
After telling all her close friends about it, she called Rowan. However, he didn’t pick up.
Usually, Rowan picked up her calls quickly.
Suddenly, she thought of what Rowan had said. He wasn’t going to start drawing boundaries, was he? Had he fallen out of love with her and gotten engaged? Would he accept a pre–arranged marriage? Didn’t he hate having his marriage dictated? Wasn’t he adamant about rejecting it?
When she thought of that, Jemmy gave Rowan another call. Still, no one picked up.
Half an hour later, Rowan texted her, saying he was busy.
Jenny found it hard to accept such a perfunctory response. She refused to give up and called him once more. This time, Rowan picked up.
