Chapter 430
In the end, Skylar didn’t get her break.
Joe cradled her limp body in his embrace as she drifted to sleep.
As Joe listened to Skylar’s calm breathing, he glanced at her swollen lips and kissed her. He couldn’t help himself. He thought it wouldn’t be so bad if they spent the rest of their lives together.
They were perfect for each other in more ways than one.
Gloria had just taken her medication and was about to go for her afternoon nap when Edgar came in to announce the arrival of Skylar’s biological father, Jeffrey. He was here to meet her.
She knew about what happened to the Williams family. She’d even asked Joe about it after witnessing the trouble that they’d caused.
Upon hearing how the Williams family treated Skylar, she didn’t have a good impression of them.
They wouldn’t have come if they had nothing to gain from her. This family was motivated by nothing but personal interest. They definitely wanted something from her.
Gloria could see past their tricks. After a moment of consideration, she asked Edgar to show them in.
She wanted to see how shameless the Williamses could be. Thinking of how Skylar had suffered at their hands, she yearned to stir up mayhem in their family.
Karma would bite back at them for their horrible treatment of Skylar.
Jeffrey and Peter were rather nervous as they waited outside, their hands weighed down by expensive gifts. They were terrified that they’d be barred from even entering.
The luxuriousness of Pearlhall Residence exceeded the limits of their imagination.
Everyone in Jipsburg City knew how powerful the Martins were in the city. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
They had done little research on the Martins. They only knew that they were a family they couldn’t even hope to cling to. Now that they’d seen Pearlhall Residence, fear and horror began to claw at them.
They didn’t know whether they’d made the right choice.
Whether it was correct or not, they had no other alternative. Their company was about to be finished, and so were the Williamses.
They felt like they were dreaming as they were led into the mansion.
Before long, they met Gloria.
Jeffrey presented his gifts, saying. “These are some gifts from us. I hope you’ll accept them.”
Gloria glanced at them coldly and replied, “I don’t need them.”
“This…” Jeffrey hesitated. His outstretched hand froze in place as he deliberated on whether to put down his gifts or continue trying to offer them to Gloria. He did his best to continue smiling through his
embarrassment. After putting his gifts down stiffly, he turned to glance at Peter.
Peter wasn’t quite brave enough to make eye contact with Gloria. Her gaze seemed to pierce through him.
Gloria raised an eyebrow coldly and asked, “Tell me. Why did you want to see me?”
The behavior of the Williamses was unacceptable.
It was a blessing that they hadn’t raised Skylar. If they had, she would’ve been raised into an idiot, no matter how talented she might’ve been.
Jeffrey continued grinning. He tried to appease Gloria and said, “We found out that your grandson and my daughter, Skylar, have gotten together. I don’t know how long they’ve been together. As her father, I can’t watch Skylar run around with Joe without a label on their relationship. So, I wanted to discuss this with
you.”
“You don’t have a say in Skylar’s affairs,” snapped Gloria.
The smile froze on Gloria’s face.
Still, Jeffrey continued, “I’m Skylar’s biological father. Of course I have a say!”
