Chapter 886
Vera hadn’t planned to skirt around the topic. She watched for Skylar’s reaction after speaking.
Skylar felt like she’d heard this before somewhere. Annie had said something along those lines. Molly had even offered her a cheque to get her to divorce Joe.
“Why should I be the one to propose a divorce? You should be confident that you’ll be able to get him to divorce me of your own accord. After all, you two have feelings for each other and have waited for one another for years, Skylar asked her mockingly.
If Joe had asked her for a divorce, she would’ve agreed in a heartbeat. Clinging on to her to get her to change her mind wouldn’t get Vera very far.
This made Vera’s expression sour. She couldn’t tell Joe all of this. Vera was a proud woman. Even though Joe’s marriage bothered her greatly, she couldn’t tell anyone about it.
Many people in Jipsburg thought that Joe was waiting for her and that she would be the only woman who would become Joe’s wife. Vera believed so too. She had to set things back on their original path.
From the beginning, Vera had thought that Joe was trying to piss her off. He wouldn’t have married Skylar otherwise. Even though she held that belief, Skylar didn’t share it. Perhaps she was fantasizing about how Joe loved her.
Vera took a deep breath and said, “I asked you to bring the divorce up because I didn’t want Joe to feel guilty over this.”
“Your plans are very well thought out, Ms. Ruell.”
“I won’t make you get a divorce for nothing. After all, you weren’t married for long. I’ll compensate you thoroughly. Skylar, let’s be honest here. Tell me what you want. I’ll give it to you.” Vera had prepared herself for whatever Skylar might say.
She’d asked for 20 million just to help them get rid of the negative items. Skylar would definitely ask for more when it came to getting divorced.
Skylar pulled a hundred–dollar bill out of her purse and placed it on the table. She said, “This coffee is r treat. I’ve only got one condition. Joe has to hand me the divorce agreement himself, I’ll my immediately.
“I hope this is the last time you seek me out to talk about this. If there’s anything between you and Joe, that’s your problem. Settle it with him.”

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....
