Chapter 144
Joe: “Tell Annie not to covet someone she shouldn’t.”
Rowan was shocked to read his message. He replied, “You have no feelings for Annie at all? You’ve been single for so many years, isn’t it for her sake? Just tell me what your relationship with Skylar is! Your attitude towards her is too unusual,”
Unfortunately, Joe ignored the questions.
Rowan never gossips and is uninterested in other people’s affairs. In Jipsburg, many would love to gossip about him, so he didn’t need to gossip about others. If he wanted to know something, he just asked
around, and the truth would unveil itself.
Joe was d
different. People wanted to know about Joe’s romantic scandals. But without his cooperation,
an investigation wasn’t an option, as he would surely find out.
“No need to rush. I don’t believe Joe can keep his secrets forever.”
Annie got up late. She had barely slept last night. After returning from the club, she lay in bed with a
restless mind..
She really wanted to know what the relationship between Skylar and Joe was. She asked Rowan, but he

Annie’s face turned pale, and she clutched her phone tightly. She felt that Joe’s words were sharp and
cruel.

was critical and urgent. He wondered where he could get hundreds of thousands of dollars in such a time.
If he hadn’t lost his job, perhaps he could have had a bonus of two hundred thousand dollars by the end
of the year. Although he had gone to job interviews, there was no follow–up for some reason.
Given his educational background, his degree, his field, and his abilities, it was bizarre that so many companies had interviewed him, and none had hired him.
He thought Skylar had become heartless and definitely wouldn’t help him again. For some reason, he felt that if Skylar were willing to help, she could definitely come up with the surgery money.
But… He never thought Skylar could be so cold to him.
