Chapter 1063
Caleb asked, “Skylar, where are you now?”
Skylar glanced at the roadside. “On Bard Lane. What’s up?”
“It’s important! Are you heading back to Galaxy Villa? Call me once you get there safely,” Caleb insisted.
Skylar agreed, knowing she wasn’t far from Galaxy Villa. Just a few intersections, and she would arrive.
After bringing the suitcase into the villa, she called Caleb back. “What’s going on?”
“First, promise me you’ll keep a level head. Don’t let what’s about to happen upset you.” Caleb’s concern was evident.
Skylar reassured him and said, “I promise. What’s going on?”
“I’m sending you a video.”
After hanging up, Caleb quickly sent her the video. On the screen; a graceful woman in a white gown linked arm–in–arm with Joe. Both of them radiated happiness as they announced their engagement to the
world.
Joe had clearly put a lot of effort into this proposal. The event was crowded with reporters, and the flash of cameras was constant.
The woman was not Vera.
Skylar’s face turned pale as she watched the video.
Just then, Caleb called again. “I have a friend who got this information firsthand. Everyone in Jipsburg will know soon. Skylar, are you okay? Joe is such a jerk! Don’t let this upset you. You two aren’t even divorced yet. What’s he doing getting engaged to someone else?”
Caleb was furious. He couldn’t believe how casually Joe would treat the woman he admired this way. The fact that Joe was engaged to someone else while still married to Skylar was infuriating.
Skylar felt a whirlwind of emotions. Her mind was scattered, and she absentmindedly replied, “I’m fine, don’t worry. If Mr. Gardner Senior hears about this, please tell him not to worry about me. I can handle it.”
“Are you really okay?” Caleb sounded unconvinced.
Skylar nodded and replied, “I’m fine.”
After hanging up, she set her phone down and pushed her suitcase to the side.
After washing her face, she watched the video again. Yesterday, Joe had hurried back to Jipsburg just to get engaged to someone else.
She had thought he was busy with work, but now she realized how mistaken she was.
She wondered if he was not afraid of Gloria finding out about such a public announcement.
Suddenly, everything made sense. Joe’s recent coldness toward Vera was because she was never the one he truly cared for.
The news of Joe’s engagement would likely shock many people. She certainly felt shaken.
Checking the time, she realized that she had only eaten a quick sandwich on the train, and hunger was creeping in. It was time for a proper meal.
She rummaged through the fridge and took out some vegetables, quickly sauteing them into a few simple

Just as she finished her meal, Steven and Charles called her one after the other. “I saw the news too. You

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
