Chapter 505
If Simona was considered kind, then there really were no kind people left in the world. Under the influence of Leonard, Simona could be quite ruthless.
Skylar smiled and said, “Simona’s not bullying me. She is actually a good person. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be such good friends with her, right? Let’s go.” Caleb was still confused. He nodded slowly and replied, “Yeah, it makes sense.” However, he still felt something off.
After about half an hour, it wasn’t until Caleb reached the Gardner Manor that he realized what was bothering him. He wondered if Simona was trying to take Skylar away from him.
“Damn it!” Caleb muttered to himself. He wouldn’t let Simona meet Skylar again.
Skylar hadn’t visited Gloria in a while. After work, she decided to see her. They had dinner together and then watched a variety show.
The two got along very well, enjoying each other’s company.
During the show, Gloria complained about her friend, Beatrice Shortle. Recently, Gloria and Beatrice had gone to a recent auction house together.
Beatrice had been calling Gloria non–stop lately, saying she wanted to visit Pearlhall Residence. She kept bragging about her granddaughter, who had just returned from abroad with numerous awards and was now a famous violinist.
Gloria scoffed. “Does she think I can’t see through her? She just wants to match her granddaughter with Joe. Dream on! I remember meeting that girl a few years ago.
“Despite her young age, she was full of malice. She looked down on the maid as if she were superior,. When she saw me, she’d act all sweet and innocent.
“Not only do I not like her, but Joe wouldn’t give her a second look either. I already have you as my granddaughter–in–law. Skye, no one else could ever compare to you.”
Seeing Gloria so agitated, Skylar chuckled. “In your eyes, I’m perfect.”

In truth, she knew she wasn’t that perfect. Gloria might see her through rose- colored glasses because of her friendship with Viola.
But genuine affection begot genuine affection. Skylar was determined to be sincerely devoted to Gloria.
By the time evening came around, it was too late for Skylar to leave. Hence, Skylar decided to stay at Pearlhall Residence. Before coming over, she had informed Joe.
However, she didn’t expect him to come to Pearlhall Residence as well.
When he arrived, Skylar had just finished taking a shower. She was surprised to see Joe standing in the room when she dried her hair. “Aren’t you supposed to be busy today?”
Considering how far it was from his company, Skylar wondered why he had bothered to come to Pearlhall Residence.
With one hand in his pocket, Joe’s naturally cool gaze swept over her. His gaze was now tinged with deeper meaning. “I came to visit Grandma.”
“Oh,” Skylar replied. For a second, she thought he had come to see her. She realized she was being a bit presumptuous. She lowered her head to hide her emotions.
Meanwhile, in another part of Pearlhall Residence, Edgar watched as finished her medicine.
