Chapter 186
Skylar hurriedly sent another WhatsApp message. “Joe, don’t get too close to Marcus. He will bring trouble to you! I’ll explain the situation to you in detail when you have the time”
However, both WhatsApp messages went unanswered. Skylar was restless as she waited for his reply. She didn’t turn on the sleep mode on her phone for fear of missing Joe’s call or message
Sometime later, she woke up groggily to the sound of her phone ringing Without delay, she answered the call.
“I just got off the plane and saw your message.” Joe’s voice came through.
Skylar immediately became alert. “Are you and Marcus on the same flight?”
“Yes, we are.” Joe glanced at Marcus, who was beside him.
This chance encounter was an opportunity for Marcus to get closer to Joe. Marcus needed to do this because the Lennon family was facing some problems recently.
Skylar took a deep breath. “Listen to me. He’s wearing a thumb ring. That ring is nothing good. He’s a womanizer and changes girlfriends frequently. Plus, with that sinister ring, he must be afflicted with
something
“Don’t get too close to him! He’s your friend, so his energy will definitely affect you. It might even endanger your life.”
Joe raised an eyebrow discreetly. Then, he glanced at Paul, whose forehead was red and swollen after accidentally bumping it against a hard surface.
Finally, his gaze fell on his shoes. There was a smidge of orange juice on his bespoke leather shoes. There was even a scratch from a broken glass
There had been a severe turbulence earlier. The glass in the flight attendant’s hand fell. Paul, who was about to get up to go to the washroom, fell down as well. Sitting behind them, Marcus spat out blood.
In that short one–hour flight, chaos erupted in the cabin. But right now, Marcus just looked a little pale and seemed fine otherwise. His condition didn’t stop him from being physically intimate with the beautiful woman beside him.
Joe felt that he should learn to believe in things that didn’t seem logical at a glance sometimes, or it could be that he was more willing to trust Skylar now.
“Are you worried about me?” Joe asked with a half–smile. He quickened his pace and distanced himself
from Marcus.
Skylar was momentarily stunned to hear his teasing tone as he said that. She answered honestly, “I don’t want Grandma to suffer the pain of having her descendant pass away before her.”
Another reason was that she didn’t want to cite widowhood as the reason for when she had to get a
divorce.
Joe smirked with a slightly amused look in his eyes. “It’s late now. Go to sleep.”
“Okay, good night.”
As Marcus walked, he noticed Joe walking faster, as if he had forgotten all about him. He immediately hurried to catch up. The beautiful woman beside him struggled to keep up in her high heels.
