The indifferent and distant tone made Skylar acutely aware that Joe's trust in her was almost nonexistent at this point.
Given Joe's current perspective, her pursuit of him from Jipsburg to Murida and her investigation of his whereabouts would naturally fill him with suspicion. So, she wasn't surprised by this reaction.
After quickly gathering herself, she took some documents from her bag. There were also a few photos included—one of Ned wearing glasses and one of Joe.
With Ned's glasses, it was easy to spot the difference between them at a glance, including some distinctions in demeanor.
Joe glanced at the photos with no expression. He skimmed over them briefly before taking a quick look at the documents.
"You and Ned were in the same car accident three years ago. Almost everyone involved died. You were thrown from the car and later mistaken for Ned Sowle and taken to the hospital.
"Meanwhile, the real Ned and your assistant were captured, taken to an unknown location, and restrained…" Skylar spoke as calmly as she could.
However, recounting the events from three years ago was deeply painful for her. Fortunately, she managed to explain all the key details to Joe.
As Skylar recounted the events, Joe picked up the documents and began to read them. The investigations in these documents were more detailed than what he had previously found.
But what intrigued him more was… "If I am Joe Martin, what was our relationship?"
Skylar was momentarily stunned. The photos and documents she brought did not explicitly state the nature of their relationship, and there was also no mention of her and Joe in past media coverage.
Meeting his gaze, she slowly said, "We were married." Then, she showed him their marriage certificate and a photo.
They had a photo taken with their marriage certificate the day they registered.
