Skylar couldn’t help but wonder if Christopher had truly lost his mind. Why else would he continue to bother her so relentlessly? In her past life, he had shown no conscience, but in this one, he was not just heartless—he was utterly shameless as well.
Skylar knew she had to find a way to stop him from showing up at the Gardner Group. As she pondered how to handle the situation, Joe walked over with two cups of yogurt in hand.
“Is something bothering you?” he asked, noticing her troubled expression.
Skylar shook her head and didn’t respond. She was determined to deal with Christopher on her own.
Thanks to her rebirth, many events from her past life hadn’t occurred yet. However, a few days ago, Skylar had learned that Amelia had already undergone surgery. Christopher, on the other hand, had sold his family home and borrowed money from numerous relatives. His financial situation was clearly not looking great.
A private investigator had also sent Skylar some information she hadn’t had time to look at yet. The investigator mentioned that the details were crucial, but the file was too large to send by text, so he had emailed it to her.
Skylar might have forgotten about it if not for a message from WhatsApp. She chatted with Joe a bit longer before Paul called him away.
With the house empty, Skylar headed upstairs to her room. She retrieved her laptop, logged into her email, and downloaded the video file. Thanks to the fast internet speed, it was ready in a matter of seconds.
Skylar had a feeling the private investigator had captured something important on film, but nothing could have prepared her for what she was about to see.
The footage left her utterly stunned.
The video showed Christopher following Maisy and filming a scene where she was engaged in a flirtatious kiss with a stranger at a bar. As Skylar continued to watch, she felt her sense of right and wrong being tested.
The video then showed Christopher watching intently as the stranger led Maisy into a hotel. One by one, several men entered the room. All the while, Christopher was recording, completely detached.
When the video ended, Skylar sat in stunned silence, unable to process what she had just seen. She felt disgusted, not just by Christopher but also by Maisy.
In her past life, they had openly displayed their affection in front of her. But now, Christopher seemed perfectly at ease, watching Maisy with other men, as if it were nothing.
After taking a moment to collect herself, Skylar called the private investigator. “Continue keeping an eye on Christopher for me. I’ll send you his personal details.”
Once the call ended, Skylar stood up to go to the bathroom. But as soon as she moved, the pain in her body flared up again.
She cursed under her breath. “Damn it, Joe! You’re too much!” She was frustrated with how reckless he was. How could someone lack restraint to such an extent?
Meanwhile, Joe had gotten into the car and was listening to Paul’s report.
“They’ve been taken to the police station. I’ve spread the word. They’ll be out of Jipsburg in no time,” Paul said.
This situation was unprecedented in the past two years. Joe’s ruthless methods usually kept everyone in check, so Paul was surprised that anyone would dare to drug Joe and implicate Skylar.
Nevertheless, seeing Joe’s pleased demeanor, Paul couldn’t help but acknowledge the brilliance behind the timing of the drugging. How had they managed to time it so perfectly? It happened when Joe and Skylar were together.
Later that night, around 9:00 pm, Natalie called Skylar.
