Even Joe was surprised. Skylar easily made him lose control and drove him mad. He couldn’t calm down
for hours afterward.
Skylar hid in the bathroom after they were done.
During breakfast, she couldn’t even look at Joe.
After finishing breakfast, she took her bag and said to Joe, “I’m going to work now.”
“I’ll drive you,” replied Joe.
His voice was still hoarse from their antics in the morning. It was low and sexy.

she was in his arms. She’d be under the illusion that he’d fallen in love with her.
Skylar looked down in silence.

Joe thought Skylar’s silence was due to exhaustion from their morning activities. He did not continue the conversation, but he hugged Skylar tighter.
Upon seeing them, Lucas couldn’t help but muse. He was glad that their relationship had improved. He
had never seen Joe so considerate of a woman before.
Yet, if Paul had witnessed this scene, he wouldn’t have been as calm as Lucas.

Earlier in the day, Peter had announced the bankruptcy of the Williams Group.
At the same time, they were saddled with huge amounts of debt, and many of their debtors were knocking at their door.
Their properties would be liquidated.
Peter had just finished his announcement when the police took him to the station as part of their investigation. The Williams family sank into further chaos.
Many people were outside Williams Residence, including journalists, employees of the Williams Group,
and their debtors.
Only Kenny, Samuel, Maisy, and the paralyzed Sadie were
