Chapter 514
Skylar’s voice was quiet, barely hinting at anger. She appeared calm and composed. Yet, her rebuttal couldn’t be ignored.
She seemed beautiful and delicate, but she was also quick with her wits and ruthless. She handled things calmly and confidently.
Both Andrew and Shane were momentarily taken aback.
Soon, Andrew found it somewhat amusing. “You’ve been too sheltered by your family, and you probably didn’t know the harsh realities out here.”
“She’s right. It’s you who should compensate us. This won’t be settled today.” Natalie glared at Andrew with disgust.
Andrew was speechless. “We’re family. There’s no benefit in offending me. Grandpa already dislikes you. If you cross me again, aren’t you afraid he’ll get Jeremy to divorce you?”
Natalie clenched her teeth and speered. “I’m not afraid.”
There was nothing to fear. It was just a divorce–precisely what she wanted. If Marvin could make Jeremy divorce her, she would consider it the right
decision.
Andrew chuckled coldly. He didn’t believe Natalie would willingly divorce someone as wealthy and prominent as Jeremy in Jipsburg.
The current situation left Skylar and Natalie at a disadvantage against Andrew
and Shane.
Yet, at that moment, a figure appeared. Shane was shocked, moving from initial astonishment to utter disbelief. “Jacky…”
“Mr. Lourdes, I’m sorry to disturb you again during your time off,” Skylar said as she approached Jacky.
Jacky nodded at Skylar. “It’s alright. I happened to be nearby. I got the details on the way. Leave this matter to me, and don’t worry.”
Joe was just outside. Before Jacky entered, Joe had told him that Andrew was bold enough to try to sleep with Skylar. Joe intended to teach Andrew a lesson

on behalf of Marvin.

When Andrew saw Jacky, he thought he was mistaken. Then, his eyes widened
in shock.
Natalie hadn’t seen Jacky before, but he seemed quite formidable. Looking at Andrew and Shane, it was clear they were also surprised.
Andrew quickly looked at Skylar. He wondered how Skylar knew Jacky.
Jacky was notoriously difficult, and he had Joe backing him. In Jipsburg, the one person Andrew feared the most was Joe. Joe was ruthless in his actions.
No wonder Skylar seemed so calm. It turned out she had powerful
connections. She might look high and mighty, but she probably had been with many people before.
At that moment, Andrew’s phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that Marvin was calling. He immediately answered, “Grandpa?”
Marvin’s furious voice came through the phone. “Get back here right now! Do you have any idea what kind of trouble you’ve caused?”
“Grandpa, I… I’m outside. I didn’t do anything.” Andrew was utterly confused.
Marvin always doted on him, and he knew how to keep Marvin happy. It was rare for Marvin to yell at him.
Andrew pondered why Marvin was so angry. It was as if he had caused a huge problem.
“Didn’t do anything? You ended up at the police station and called that nothing? I never interfered with your personal affairs, but you messed with the wrong person today. Do you even know what you’ve done?” Marvin roared, his head pounding with frustration.
Andrew only knew how to please him and nothing else. Unwittingly, he had caused a major problem.
“The wrong person?” Andrew frowned. “I know her husband is a detective, but my lawyer can handle this. Don’t worry, Grandpa.”
Natalie blinked upon hearing that Skylar’s husband was a detective.
Skylar glanced at Jacky. She sensed that the misunderstanding was

deepening.

Jacky raised an eyebrow. He now understood why Joe was so furious. Andrew was clearly blind and foolish.
