Chapter 631
Skylar didn’t seem like one of those youngsters who were arrogant and disrespectful.
Molly invited kindly, “Have a seat.”
Skylar nodded and replied, “Alright.
“Take a look at the menu. What would you like to drink?” asked Molly.
“Thanks, but I would rather just have some water,” Skylar said. She looked at the glass of water beside her. If she drank coffee now, it Would affect her sleep. Besides, her discussion with Molly wouldn’t take long.
Skylar did not start asking questions immediately. Instead, she took a sip of water and waited.
Molly wasn’t surprised to see how calm Skylar was. After all, she worked in Alexander’s team and handled cases individually. It was clear that she was a dependable, capable person.
However, Joe’s father, Edwin Martin, was unsatisfied with her.
“You and Joe have gotten married, right?” Molly asked gently. She didn’t seem like a difficult person to deal with.
Skylar answered, “Yes.”
Molly nodded with a small smile. She said, “Joe’s father, Edwin, and I have just found out about this two days ago. We know that Gloria introduced you to each other. Joe adores her. He wouldn’t refuse her demands.”
Molly paused. Skylar remained expressionless as she listened to

her silently. Suddenly, Molly felt that Joe, heartless as he was, had fallen for Skylar. If not, he wouldn’t have married her willingly.
This made things difficult.
“However, Edwin had chosen a woman for him to marry. They
come from similarly wealthy families and have similar
backgrounds. Their marriage will solidify the relationship between the two families.
“You’ve made a great impression on me during our first meeting. I think you deserve to be widely adored. However, you and Joe are of different statuses and aren’t a good fit for each other. The public hasn’t found out who you are. Once they do, you won’t be
able to deal with it.”
As Molly spoke, she observed Skylar’s expressions.
What a pity. Although Skylar was young, she was skilled in hiding her true feelings and managed to remain calm. She looked extremely obedient. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. After all, she was unaffected by the opinions of others, even when Molly expressed her dissatisfaction with Skylar.
“You know what I mean. I’m only Joe’s stepmother. I’ve come to meet you in place of Edwin, as it’s inconvenient for him to show up. Initially, I didn’t want to hurt you. However, it seems like the damage has been done,” Molly continued.
Skylar nodded and asked, “What do you want me to do?”
Molly was dumbfounded. She wasn’t expecting Skylar to be so reasonable. She didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
Initially, she’d prepared herself thoroughly in case today’s situation would be difficult to handle. How many women could let Joe go

after marrying him?
She hadn’t even mentioned the huge amount of reparations that would surely convince Skylar to give up on him.
“We would like you to divorce Joe before anyone finds out about your marriage. If you divorce each other now, the damage to Joe and the Martin family would be largely minimized. Don’t worry. We will compensate you for it. If you’ve got any demands, you may voice them out now. We won’t take advantage of you.”
Dealing with such a reasonable woman saved Molly a lot of hassle.
Skylar nodded lightly and continued, “Have you asked Joe about this?”
Molly’s eyes glinted. She added, “Joe respects Gloria. If she
doesn’t agree to the divorce, he probably won’t do it. However, this doesn’t mean his reluctance to divorce you is borne out of love. Do you understand?”
“I do,” answered Skylar. She nodded once more.
Molly had made things painfully clear. Skylar would’ve been an idiot if she still did not get what she meant.
Skylar hadn’t been expecting this to happen to her. It felt like a scene out of a movie.
As one of the main characters, it was an absurd feeling.
