Mrs. Martin, I couldn’t answer earlier. Something might happen to Mr. Martin. Ernest

“Good,” Skylar said, feeling a bit more at ease after hearing Paul’s update.

It seemed that she was overthinking things.

After ending the call, she took the subway back home. About an hour later, a call from an unknown number came through.

“Hello?”

“Have you figured things out all this time? I just saw Joe and Lizzie together. They went to a guest room, and it was obvious what they were doing. He won’t come back to you now.” Claudio’s voice dripped with malice.

Skylar didn’t expect Claudio to be so persistent. Hearing his voice made her feel a surge of disgust. She said, “If you keep calling me, I’ll report you to the police.”

Claudio stared at the screen, his face darkening in anger. He gritted his teeth, seething with

rage.

“Fine! Let’s see how you react when you realize just how severe the consequences of provoking me can be.”

Before, Joe had protected her, but now… Joe might not even be able to protect himself.

Claudio walked over to the bedside and pulled out an ancient–looking emerald pendant with a distinctly strong aura from beneath his pillow.

“Now I’m actually glad we have this bit of blood relation,” he said.
