Rowan was only this patient when dealing with Jenny. Although he couldn’t see Jenny and could only hear her voice on the phone, he could imagine how heartbroken she must be.
She was a woman who could effortlessly elicit sympathy from others.
“He sees you only as a sister,” Rowan clarified further.
Jenny’s voice seemed to crack with tears. “Did he really say that? Did he really say there’s no room for a third person at Galaxy Villa?”
When she decided to return to Jipsburg City, she had planned to live with Joe. She wanted to see him daily and understand how het felt about Skylar.
She wondered if Joe only married Skylar to make Gloria happy, not because he genuinely liked her.
But now, Joe had outright rejected her. It proved he cared more about Skylar.
“Yes,” Rowan confirmed.
Jenny burst into tears. “Rowan, is Skylar really that amazing? Is she worth him hurting me just to protect her? He doesn’t want me staying at Galaxy Villa because he’s afraid Skylar might misunderstand. Even before Skylar said anything, he had already preemptively excluded me. He’s clearly protecting Skylar.”
Rowan was momentarily at a loss for words. “Even without Skylar, you and Joe would never work.”
“I have other things to take care of. I hope you don’t let Joe know I
called you,” Jenny said before hanging up.
Rowan stared at his phone. After a moment, he clicked his tongue in frustration.
When Natalie called, Skylar had just started her workday and was preparing for her tasks.
“Skylar, come over to my apartment after work today. I’m off today and don’t want to have dinner alone.”
“Sure, I’ll bring dinner tonight.”
“I’ll be waiting for you.”
On his way to the company, Joe glanced at his phone. As expected, there were no messages from Skylar.
This only confirmed his assessment that Skylar was indeed
heartless.
However, there were a few missed calls.
The calls were from Jeremy.
Jeremy wouldn’t call unless it was something important. Hence, Joe returned the call.
When the line connected, Joe asked, “Is something wrong?”
“I was looking for you to reach Skylar. After you missed my call, I managed to get in touch with her this morning, and the matter is resolved,” Jeremy replied briefly, leaving out the
details.”
There was an unspoken understanding among them. For straightforward issues, there was no need for elaborate

explanations.
Joe now recalled that Jeremy had mentioned Skylar earlier.
“Looking for Skylar? What’s up?” Joe asked.
Jeremy was somewhat surprised but still truthfully explained how Annabelle had tried to deceive him.
In the end, he praised Skylar’s skills. “Skylar is impressive. I just spoke briefly with Mr. Gardner Senior, and even he had some gaps in his knowledge about this. He didn’t fully understand. But Skylar was able to determine the details from the photos. You should cherish her.”
Jeremy was about to remind Joe not to be manipulated, but then he recalled Skylar’s words. All confusion ultimately depended on the strength of one’s willpower.
Over the years, many people had tried to drug Joe, but he had always resisted. He relied almost entirely on his willpower.
Even at the charity gala a few days ago, he was able to see through Annie’s trick and ended up with Skylar.
