Skylar looked down at her glass of water. Then, she grinned mockingly.
Molly was satisfied by Skylar’s reaction. She pulled a check out of her bag.
“You can fill in whatever value you like.”
Most women would probably be unable to refuse such an attractive offer. It was something regular people would never obtain, yet it was within Skylar’s reach.
Skylar stared at the check in front of her. She remained cold as she replied, “I don’t want it. Please take it back.”
Skylar wasn’t interested in such a sudden fortune.
Molly was bewildered. She asked, “W–What would you like, then?”
She suddenly thought of a few dramas and novels that she’d read. They were extremely unrealistic and tended to give young women impractical ideas about love.
They were under the impression that refusing everything that they were offered would make them unique. It would cause their partners to see them in a new light, and they would thus be a recipient of his love. In the end, they’d win the man and his money.
Molly had thought of Skylar as a trustworthy woman, but now it was clear she remained too youthful and impressionable. Even without delving into the realities of affluent families, Joe was not someone who would be moved by such passionate emotions.
“I want Joe to tell me that he wants a divorce himself. The second he says so, I’ll leave him immediately,” stated Skylar firmly.
It would only make sense if Joe handled things between them personally.
Molly frowned and tried to convince her. “You’re too young. You don’t know what marrying into the Martin family entails. You’ll face a host of issues. They’re not something an inexperienced woman like you can deal with. Although this is our first meeting, I think you’re a smart woman. You should know what to do.”
“I haven’t sat here and listened to you because you’re telling the truth. I did so because you’re an elder. I knew what I was getting into the second I married Joe. Just now, he texted me saying he’d already gotten home. My apologies, but I can’t stay here with you anymore,” Skylar replied. She stood up and picked up her bag in preparation to leave.
Molly immediately furrowed her brows. She challenged, “Did you think Joe liked you? Do you know why he’s never had a woman by his side for all these years? In reality, he’s got someone he loves. She’s about to come back from overseas. The second she gives him a nod, he’ll divorce you immediately. It will be impossible for you to ask for anything then.
“Gloria is not your get–out–of–jail–free card. Don’t you get it?”
When Skylar heard that Joe had a woman he adored her hand tightened around her bag. However, she still looked extremely calm.
”
“I know what you mean. However, I stand by what I said. If Joe wants to divorce me because his crush has returned home, I’ll sign the agreement immediately. Don’t worry. I’m not eyeing any of the Martin family’s assets. I’m not going to ask for anything.”
Molly watched Skylar leave with a somber expression.
The crease between her brows deepened, especially when she saw the check on the table, untouched by

A few minutes later, Molly made a call. “Skylar hasn’t agreed to get a divorce. Darling, Skylar isn’t a girl we can manipulate easily. I don’t think she’ll leave Joe easily. We’ll probably need to try making them divorce through Joe.”
“We have to ensure they’re divorced before people find out about their marriage. She’s nothing more than a village girl. Think of a way to get it done.”
After a moment of silence, Molly said, “Alright.”
Skylar called Joe once she got back into the car. Joe had texted her, but she hadn’t replied yet.
“I was busy with something just now. I’ll be reaching home soon.”
Joe replied,” Alright.”
His low tone was an indication of his current mood.
Skylar’s eyes turned dark. She hung up after a while.
20 minutes later, she got back to Galaxy Villa. It had been a smooth drive.
Just as she was about to get out, Paul called her to say, “Mrs. Martin, Mr. Martin has been in a bad mood for the past few days. I can’t tell you why, but I hope you can spend some quality time with him.”
After a few moments of silence, Skylar replied, “Alright.”
