Chapter 1466
Rosa was stunned by the man, Wilfrid Windrow's words.
Her mind seemed to snap back to reality with the force of a thunderstrike, as though she was slowly realizing the dire situation she was in. Fear gripped her heart immediately.
She hadn't expected her money to run out so quickly.
Despite having a few tens of millions of dollars, her company wasn't making a profit. In fact, it was losing money.
Recently, she and Stephen had been discussing it, and she had been pressuring him. But he kept insisting that he had little experience and that it was only natural for a company to lose money at the start. He reassured her that losses were common in the early stages and they needed to be patient.novelbin
She always pretended to be wealthy before Stephen. But in reality, her savings were limited, and it wouldn't take long for them to run out. If she continued losing money at this rate, she would end up broke.
She trusted Stephen, believing he would eventually turn the business around, but now she was truly at her breaking point.
Taking a deep breath, she finally calmed herself. "Alright, tell me what I should do next. From what I see, going straight to Joe today is not an option. You need to think of another way for me."
Wilfrid asked, "I have plenty of ways, but... Tell me honestly, have you and Joe ever slept together?"
Rosa felt embarrassed by the question, but she knew there were some things she could only hide with a lie. "I've spent more than three years with him, almost every day together. We've done everything a man and woman do. Can you stop asking me questions like that? I really don't want to answer anymore."
"Hahaha, alright, I won't ask again. Since that's the case, come to my place tonight, and we'll discuss things properly," Wilfrid said.
Rosa's instincts told her to be cautious. "What would I come to you for?"
"Some things are better discussed face to face. It's not something I can explain over the phone. Time is running out, and you should come if you don't want to end up broke. I don't have much patience, and there are many people who want this opportunity. You're not the only one," Wilfrid said, his tone harsh.
He hung up without waiting for a response.
Rosa bit her lip, a wave of determination rising inside her. She thought to herself, "Fine, I'll go. It's not a big deal. I'm doing this for myself. No one else matters. After all, this is all Joe's fault!"
...
Joe had just entered the house when he immediately sensed something was off. He glanced over at Skylar, who was sitting at the dining table. "Did you see the news?" he asked.
Skylar was reading a book. Hearing Joe's question, she turned her eyes and seemed a little annoyed. "Yeah," she muttered.
Joe walked over to her quickly. "The photo was unclear. I pushed her her
away. She has someone behinne
pulling the strings. I'd asked Baul to launch an investigation."
Skylar listened to Joe's anxious explanation, but she couldn't pretend anymore. She turned her back to
him. "From what I saw, you two were hugging each other quite intimately."
Joe frowned. "I didn't hug her."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he suddenly realized something.
His lips curved into a smile. "Are you jealous? Do you care this much about me? You love me, don't you? You can't even stand another woman looking at me, can you?"
Seeing that Joe was pushing it further, Skylar quickly turned around and covered his mouth with her hand. "Who's jealous? I was just asking." "Just asking means you care. After dinner, I'll show you exactly how much I only have eyes for you, no one else," Joe said, kissing her palm. Skylar quickly pulled her hand away as though it had been shocked by electricity. Joe continued, "I'll prove it to you tonight."
Skylar's face flushed from Joe's teasing words. "The food's getting cold. Let's eat."
If there was no trust between them,
then there was no point in being together. When Skylar saw the photo and the news, the first thing she thought of wasn't Joe betraying her but father what Rosa was trying to do.

It had backfired. Joe was the type to always turn any situation into an advantage for himself.
Her legs still hurt when she woke up this morning. Tonight, she was absolutely not going to let him get away with it.
Joe smiled knowingly. "Alright, after dinner, I'll prove it to you."
Skylar shook her head. "You don't have to prove anything. Truly, there isn't a need."
