Sweat trickled down Jenny’s forehead. She bit her lip and clicked on the message Paul had sent her. There were a bunch of pictures and videos. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

There was no need to watch the videos. She knew what they entailed by looking at the pictures.

Jenny paled as her phone slipped out of her grasp. She didn’t want to face the truth. “How could this be? Who took the photos and videos? How did they do so? I had been taking preventative measures all this time. How could someone have taken these?”

“No, Mr. Ziegler, these pictures and videos are fakes. They were edited–all of them. I’m not the woman in those videos. Please help me explain what happened to Joe. He mustn’t believe in all this.

“Who sent you these? The technology available to create fakes has become especially advanced. How could I be the woman in the video? How could you and Joe not know who I am? Both of you have known me for years. Please, don’t believe it. Could you ask Joe to pick up my calls?”

All of her messages elicited no response.

She called Joe a few times more. He didn’t pick up. She’d probably been blocked.

After a while, Jenny had a meltdown in bed.

“I don’t get it. I don’t understand! Why’s everyone giving me a hard time? Why is Skylar able to garner Joe’s and Gloria’s affection? Yet, they insult and humiliate me. I don’t understand!”

After sobbing for hours, she scrolled through WhatsApp to find Skylar’s contact information.

After that, Jenny sent Skylar multiple accusatory voice messages.

“It was you, wasn’t it? You found someone to stalk and photograph me. You resorted to dirty tactics to destroy my life. Skylar, you’re shameless! Aren’t you afraid that karma will bite you in e ass?

“Your dreams have come true now. Joe will never believe me again. He won’t love me anymore. I’ll be abandoned by everyone I know in Jipsburg soon. How cruel! Skylar, I hate you. Even if I hadn’t been in the picture, did you think you’d get the last laugh?

“Joe doesn’t actually love you. He wouldn’t. The Martins wouldn’t accept you as their daughter–in–law. Right, there’s Vera too. For every day she remains in Jipsburg, you’ll suffer nothing but fear and panic. Joe will leave you sooner rather than later!”

Skylar noticed that she had messages coming in one after another. Looking at them, she realized they were all from Jenny.

Her expression turned grim after listening to a few of them.

Joe must’ve found out about Edwin’s affair with Jenny. Someone had photographed them as well.

Skylar blocked Jenny.

There was no need to explain. The point wasn’t whether Skylar had sent someone to tail and photograph her. Jenny wouldn’t believe her.

Suddenly, she heard noises downstairs. Skylar walked out of her room and glanced down.

Joe looked up at her.

Their eyes met.

After a moment of silence, Joe asked, “Could you come with me to see Edwin tomorrow?”

“Alright,” agreed Skylar.<

Joe’s eyes darkened.

Skylar glanced away. She didn’t want to know what he was thinking about. If she pondered on it, she might’ve been bewildered.

The next day, Joe sent Skylar to work. Then, he picked her up early.

Just as Skylar got into his car, Edwin called.

Joe’s visit had probably gotten Edwin excited and surprised. Perhaps he thought this was a gesture of goodwill.

Edwin asked Joe when he would be getting there.

40 minutes later, they arrived.

Upon seeing Skylar, Edwin immediately frowned and asked Joe, “Why have you brought her with you?”
