Chapter 434
It was a pity that the report was gone.
The public relations department of the Martin Group was the fastest in Jipsburg City. No other team could hold a flame to their effectiveness.
Skylar walked out while saying, “I’m going to make a call.”
In the break room, Skylar called Gloria. She started the call by saying, “Grandma.”
Gloria knew why Skylar called and said cheerily, “Are you worried about me because the Williamses came
to see me?”
Skylar’s throat tightened upon hearing Gloria’s question. She was the one who’d caused trouble for Gloria, yet Gloria wasn’t blaming her at all. Skylar hummed and replied, “They’re not important to me. You don’t have to waste your energy on them.”
*Skye, Joe and I will treat you well. You don’t need to spare any thoughts for family members who don’t
treat you as one of their own. There’s no need to feel saddened because of them, either. They’re blind for not seeing how excellent you are, reassured Gloria warmly.
Skyler answered gently, “Alright, Grandma. I’ll remember that.”
Listening to the even tone that Gloria knew Skylar was desperately faking, Gloria couldn’t help but pity her. She continued, “When I was young, I loved getting into fights. Viola would know all about this. If I were 30
years younger, I would’ve beat these Williamses up. I had Edgar chase them out right away this morning.”
Skylar gushed genuinely, “I’m so happy and blessed to have become part of your family.”
She was telling the truth.
She’d been yearning to say that to Gloria for a long time.
Sometimes, when she was startled awake in the middle of the night, she would feel as though her life after getting reborn was nothing more than a dream. It was her obsession, borne out of the hardships
she’d faced.
Whenever she felt like that, she would need a long time to calm down before accepting that this was her
new reality.
“Oh, my darling. I smile in my dreams for being fortunate enough to become your family. I must’ve been a savior in my past life to have you as my granddaughter–in–law.”
After Gloria hung up, she still felt unsettled. Thinking about the results of her investigation and learning that the Williamses had bullied Skylar, tears welled up in her eyes. Her heart throbbed for Skylar.
She told Edgar, “Skylar never tells me about her past. She’s suffered a lot. The next time she’s here, makel sure the cook prepares all her favorite dishes.”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Martin Senior. I’ll ensure your instructions are passed on to the cooks. Don’t be too melancholic over Mrs. Martin’s experiences. If your health suffers because of this, she would be

devastated,” consoled Edgar.
Gloria sighed and said, “Alright, I know. Don’t worry about me. I will take care of myself and do my best to accompany them for a few more years.”
Skylar proceeded to call Joe,
Joe picked up quickly.
Skylar asked, “Jeffrey and his son went to see you, didn’t they?”
Joe hadn’t expected Skylar to find out about what had happened. Their public relations team hadn’t worked fast enough. He answered, “Yeah. They didn’t get to see me as they were barred from entering the building. They didn’t affect the Martin Group in any way.”
Skylar continued, “You were the one who found evidence for Jeffrey’s crimes, right? Thanks.”
“Yes, I did it. You don’t need to concern yourself with this. He won’t be able to escape prison now that he’s been sent in. The rest of the Williamses won’t be able to cause any problems for you,” Joe answered.
He did not deny it. He’d done it, and that was the truth. It was good that Skylar had found out about what he’d done. At least she’d know that she hadn’t made the wrong decision to marry him.
Skylar’s heart raced. Suddenly, she knew that her feelings for Joe had changed. Her grip tightened around her phone.
Her tone became flat as she said, “The rest of the Williamses might not be able to stir up much chaos. However, they’re well–versed in making you feel horrible. You… You might want to be more careful.”
She was scared that Peter would continue following Joe around to disturb his peace.
“Don’t worry.
Just as Skylar was about to hang up, Joe suddenly said, “Wait.”
“What?”
Joe suddenly asked darkly, “They broke your heart?”
Skylar paused in surprise for a second before explaining simply, “A long time ago, they did break my heart. However, I stopped caring about them. I genuinely don’t give a damn about them now.
“That’s great.
