Ten minutes later, Felicia trembled as she was blocked by Rowan and Paul after asking them for help.
“What’s going on? Will they help you contact Mr. Martin?” asked Adele hesitantly.
Felicia had paled even further.
Adele peeked at Felicia’s phone. After doing so, the color drained from her face
too.
“Blocked? Did Paul and Rowan block you? Didn’t you say that Skylar was Joe’s replacement for you? At this point, shouldn’t he be looking for you? Have we been mistaken?” Adele asked, dumbfounded.
Based on how Joe was helping Charles turn the tables, it didn’t seem like he was treating Skylar as anyone’s replacement.
Felicia froze. Then, she stuttered, “H–How would I know?”
At some point, Adele began believing that Joe treated Skylar as a poor substitute for Felicia. She thought that he liked Skylar because of her.
After calming down, Felicia reflected on her meetings with Joe. She could count on one hand the number of times they’d met, and he didn’t seem to care much about her every time they met.
She didn’t even have his number.
Felicia felt as though someone had tipped a bucket of icy water over her. She
woke up.
“If we can’t handle this, y–you’ll have to leave the entertainment industry.”
Felícía lost her footing and crumpled to the floor.
Thankfully, Adele caught her in time, so she didn’t make an impact. In times of misfortune, bad things happen one after another.
Felicia’s jaw dropped open when her father, Quentin Ingram, called. She stiffly accepted the call. When he began screaming, Felicia froze. Adele was surprised too.
“Look at what you’ve done! We did ask you to get into Joe’s good books if the opportunity presented itself. We weren’t asking you to offend him. We’ve all heard that he’s gotten a lover. He adores her. How dare you oppose her! Are you trying to make us meet our demise, Silver family–style?”
Felicia was speechless. She was terrified. This has woken her from her
delusions.
After Quentin hung up, Felicia hastily grabbed Adele’s hands and said, “Hurry up and contact Charles by whatever means possible!”
Skylar and Joe left Charles‘ apartment after finishing their instant pasta.
The second they got into the car, paparazzi appeared from their hiding places. They fervently took pictures of their vehicle.
She was sitting in the middle seat. However, she was still photographed.
After they drove away, Skylar immediately asked Joe, “Are they going to post what they photographed?”
Night had fallen, and they were in a car. The lighting was horrible. From where they’d been standing, they could only capture blurry side profiles of Skylar and Joe. However, their acquaintances would definitely be able to recognize them.
Naturally, Joe would be the first to be recognized.
Joe observed Skylar’s concerned expression. He thought she was scared that others would find out about their relationship. His eyes darkened as he
assured, “They wouldn’t dare to publish the pictures.”
Skylar sighed in relief.
Upon seeing that, Joe’s face fell.
“You…” Skylar noticed his change of emotions.
Why had his mood soured at the drop of a hat?
Joe looked down at Skylar and commented, “You treat your family with the utmost care.”
She was so much more concerned for them than for Joe.
