Richest Mogul

Chapter 1605

The harm inflicted on Skylar by both the Williams family and Christopher was unimaginable.

Joe, knowing Skylar deeply, understood the anguish she must have endured after having her heart trampled by those she once trusted. She had even saved her biological mother in exchange for her legs, only to face betrayal and cruelty in return. Yet, life had given her a second chance. And because of that, he had the fortune to marry her.

After a moment of silence, Skylar shared some details about Joe's past.

"So, in the beginning, you agreed to marry me just to repay Grandma?" Joe asked.

"At first, yes," Skylar admitted, recalling the time they obtained their marriage certificate. Back then, doubt and suspicion had clouded his view of her.

Their marriage had been riddled with misunderstandings, leading to a series of humorous mishaps along the way.

Joe continued, "Before meeting you, some fortune tellers-including Grandma Viola-claimed I'd never have a relationship in this lifetime. So, the only reason I'm in a relationship now is because of you. As for what Elsie said, I never believed her." Even if Skylar hadn't come into his life, Elsie would never have been his choice-she was never his type.
