Chapter 804
Skylar had paid a year's rent for her apartment. All she needed were a few personal belongings. However, Paul didn't leave a single nail behind and brought everything back.
"Everything's been brought back. Mrs. Martin, if you need anything else, I can go back tomorrow to get it." Paul was incredibly attentive.
Joe sat on the couch and saw these things. His expression relaxed more than it had earlier.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work," Skylar said, casting a meaningful glance at Paul.
She didn't believe Paul was oblivious to the current state of her relationship with Joe. With all her belongings brought back here, she would soon have to move them all out again.
Paul ignored Skylar's pointed gaze. He had his reasons for doing this.
He didn't think Joe and Vera were a good match. He knew Vera well, and something about her never sat right with him.
In his eyes, Skylar was perfect for Joe. Only when Skylar was around did Joe show a hint of humanity.
At Pearlhall Residence, Gloria glanced at the array of fresh fruits and vegetables in front of her. They were all homegrown, organic produce, free of pesticides and fertilizers.
"Send all of these to Galaxy Villa tomorrow," she instructed.
Edgar smiled and nodded. "Yes, Mrs. Martin Senior."
In fact, fresh fruits and vegetables were delivered to Galaxy Villa daily. But when Gloria learned the young couple had suddenly started living separately, she grew worried and decided to find an excuse to visit Galaxy Villa herself.
She had just heard that Skylar had already moved back.
"Joe is really... sigh! He can't even hold onto Skylar," Gloria grumbled.
Edgar could only chuckle along. "It's normal for young couples to argue sometimes. They fight at night and make up by morning. Don't worry too much, Mrs. Martin Senior. They'll be fine in a couple of days."
"I'll take a look tomorrow. I have a feeling this has something to do with Vera. Just a few days ago, Mr. Ruell Senior went to Avalon Residence. His intentions are obvious.
"Hmph! He didn't come to me because he's afraid I'll interfere. But it's not about intervening anymore. Joe and Skylar have already gotten their marriage certificate. They're a couple bound by law. Whatever plans they have, they're destined to fail," Gloria snorted coldly.
Edgar nodded repeatedly and said, "Mrs. Martin Senior, you're right."
That evening, the Ruell family was in turmoil.
Denton suddenly collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. The diagnosis was a cerebral hemorrhage.
The Ruell family's children and grandchildren, who were scattered in Jipsburg City, quickly rushed to the hospital.
Thankfully Denton had been in good
health before this incident. Although it was severe, he was stabilized though he remained in a coma. Doctors said he might take several hours to regain consciousness. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Vera waited outside the ward, listening to her parents and relatives discuss Denton's situation. She thought about how old Denton was becoming. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Just days earlier, he had nearly fainted, and now he was in a coma with a cerebral hemorrhage.
However, Denton's health had
always been good. A family do
visited every week, and he had a check-up every month. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
This cerebral hemorrhage came with no warning.
Vera couldn't shake a feeling that something was off. A sense of foreboding lingered in her mind, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
She felt bored as she waited, so she took out her phone and scrolled through it.
Everyone was chatting about various topics in her high school classmates' group chat.
She looked at Joe's profile picture. He rarely appeared in this group chat.
Thinking about Joe's distant attitude toward her now, she felt like something was weighing down on her chest.
This situation couldn't continue.
Her thought then shifted to Skylar. She needed to come up with another plan involving Skylar.
The next day, Gloria arrived at the Galaxy Villa around 3:00 pm.
Joe had gone back earlier.
