Chapter 159
Many experienced such warmth in a family. Although Skylar’s family was far from wealthy, they never lacked the good things in life.
Joe was increasingly interested as he listened to Skylar’s story. “You enjoyed fighting when you were young?”
Skylar’s face flushed with embarrassment. “You’ve seen me fight on several occasions, but those were exceptional circumstances. Kenny and Maisy provoked me first.
“I used to hope to become a part of their family. So, I would endure and strive for peace. But now, they are worthless in my eyes. If I don’t take action and teach them a lesson, they’ll only become more audacious.”
She would’ve done far worse if it weren’t for the law. Her experience from her past life made her resent the Williams family with every fiber of her being.
Joe certainly noticed how much she hated the Williamses. He smiled in amusement and said, “They’re indeed asking for trouble bullying you. They’d be bankrupt in no time. Is that what
you want?”
“Of course that’s what I want,” Skylar admitted, her voice devoid of pretense. She would never forgive the
Williamses.
Skylar made her intentions clear on the day they got married. She wanted Joe to cease all cooperation with the Williams family and withdraw any assistance previously provided. She was waiting for their downfall, for them to savor the taste of hell.
Joe faintly smiled. “Alright.”
Skylar found herself surprised by Joe’s talkativeness that night. She wondered if he was considering terminating the agreement early. Was that why he offered the goodwill in advance, so there wouldn’t be any lingering worries upon divorce?
“Mr. Martin, I’d like to discuss something with you,” said Skylar.
The use of “Mr. Martin” caused a crease to form on Joe’s brow. “Alright, go ahead.”
“I haven’t told my family about our covert marriage. My big brother sensed something was up when I last met him, so I had to tell him I was married.
“He’s always been eager to meet my husband, and I know you can’t meet him, so I plan to find someone
online to act as a stand–in,” Skylar explained.
With the advanced Internet, she could easily hire someone to play the part. Steven wouldn’t suspect anything as long as she found someone with good acting skills.
Joe’s frown deepened.
Skylar couldn’t quite figure out what he was thinking at that moment.
“If he wants to meet me, you can arrange a time. Our marriage just has to be kept secret from the media,”

Joe sald in his deep voice.
Skylar was surprised. “Really?”
Yeah.”
Skylar never expected things to go so smoothly. Joe was exceptionally easy to talk to today.
“Do you need me to help massage your head?” Skylar asked.

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....
