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. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

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

dishes.

2/2

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

and Joe…”

Skylar explained to them the same thing she had told others. She and Joe had finalized their divorce in the last couple of days, so his engagement had nothing to do with her.

Steven and Charles felt a bit more at ease after seeing her clear attitude and good spirits. After a moment, Janine called.

“Skye, I heard from Steven. Why didn’t you tell me? If you had, I wouldn’t have let you leave today. I could’ve kept you company at home. ‘Don’t be upset. You still have me and your brothers.”

Skylar comforted Janine for a while, and in the end, she added, “I’ll be home tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Janine replied.

Finally, the phone went quiet.

After a brief silence, she opened a live–streaming app on her phone.
