Chapter 1043

Skylar stared at Joe in disbelief. But whatever surprise she felt paled in comparison to the complete devastation on Vera’s face. She looked like she was about to shatter at any moment. And yet, Joe kept piling it on.

“I…” she began, but the rest of the words tumbled out a jumbled mess. She had never felt so humiliated in

her life.

The word’s barely finished before she bolted from the Galaxy Villa, her steps hurried and frantic.
