Chapter 575
1/3
Joe had Paul drive Skylar’s car to the car dealership.
Skylar then got into Joe’s car. The car was the same one from the night before, with the same driver, Lucas. The only difference now was that it was daytime.
Their relationship had grown more strained.
Once in the car, Skylar said, “Just drop me off at the complex ahead. I have an appointment with Natalie.”
Joe raised an eyebrow. His gaze grew colder. “Are you trying to avoid me? Don’t you want to know why I was at the bar last night or why that woman said she knew me?”
In that situation, it was obvious to anyone that the woman was interested in him. Joe didn’t believe Skylar didn’t notice.
“If you wanted to tell me, you would have. If I were to ask rashly wouldn’t I be meddling in matters that don’t concern me?” Skylar
retorted.
Besides, he hadn’t even remembered Felicia’s name. She could tell from Felicia’s reaction that their encounter was likely just a coincidence at the bar.
Many people knew Joe, but Joe didn’t necessarily know everyone who knew him.
Joe’s expression darkened instantly. “You’re really calm. Don’t forget your status. You’re my wife now.”
“Why do I feel like you want me to be jealous? I’m not jealous. Are you upset?” Skylar looked at him thoughtfully.

Skylar wondered if Joe had feelings for her. Her heart skipped a beat as she fixed her gaze on Joe.
Joe was taken aback. After a few seconds of silence, he said, ” You’re overthinking it.”
Skylar lowered her gaze and looked out the car window. “So, there really isn’t a need for me to ask.”
Joe was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Just drop me off here. Natalie lives around this area,” After they passed an intersection, Skylar spoke again.
Joe glanced at her with a heavy look in his eyes.
As Skylar got out of the car, Joe’s voice came from behind. “I’ll be home tonight.”
Skylar hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Alright.”
When she reached the entrance of the complex, she looked back. Joe’s car had not driven away. He was still in the car, watching her through the lowered window.
Their eyes met, and Skylar felt her heart tighten.
His gaze seemed full of emotion, but she quickly reminded herself it was just an illusion. He had no real feelings for her.
His care was merely due to Gloria’s influence. She quickly looked down and turned into the complex.
After Skylar disappeared into the complex, Joe’s lips curled into a cold smile as he muttered, “Heartless.”
Lucas was once again startled. He wondered what was going on between Joe and Skylar. They had been getting along well before,
3/3
but now they seemed to have conflicts whenever they met recently.
“Head to Pearlhall Residence first, then back to the Galaxy Villa,” Joe instructed.
Lucas replied, “Understood.”
As Skylar entered the elevator, she checked her Facebook.
Felicia’s top Facebook post had indeed been updated to an apology to her.
Her fans‘ comments were overwhelmingly positive. They praised Felicia for taking responsibility and owning up to her mistakes.
Her handling of the situation once again boosted her popularity on
Facebook.
Skylar had to admit that people in the entertainment industry were quite adept at managing their public image.
…
Felicia had just finished an event when she saw Adele had hired online influencers to promote her on Facebook. This move once again boosted her popularity following the accident.
Although it was something to be happy about, she couldn’t shake off her dissatisfaction.
Joe’s attitude today left her feeling embarrassed. She wondered whether he truly didn’t remember her or if he was putting on an act in front of Skylar.
“I did some checking. There’s a D–list actor named Charles Sullivan, who is Skylar’s brother. Coincidentally, he’s the third male lead in your next project,” Adele said.
