Chapter 192
At the Gardner Group building, by the time Christopher hurried over, it was already 4:00 pm. By this time, people in the building were gradually leaving the office.
He had spent a long time at the hospital. Not only that, he had also sold the house, borrowed money from relatives, and even cashed out credit cards. He had even borrowed money from college classmates and tried various online lending platforms.

Finally, he gathered enough money for his mother’s surgery. The surgery appointment was also set. He had initially planned to wait until after his mother’s surgery to settle things with Skylar.
But unexpectedly, Skylar’s lover wasn’t Paul as he had thought. Instead, it was Joe–the person he dared not even think about!
Had Skylar changed? Christopher thought she never cared about her boyfriend’s background. She had supposedly never cared about wealth before. Yet, now she willingly became Joe’s lover and allowed herself to be his plaything
They had been together for seven years! In all those seven years, she wouldn’t let him touch her, but she let Joe touch her. He couldn’t accept this because if she had let him sleep with her, he wouldn’t have slept with Maisy at all.
He glanced at the Gardner Group building that seemingly towered into the clouds. It was a place many people wanted to enter but couldn’t. When Skylar was his girlfriend, she liked to visit museums, stroll through streets selling antiques, and read history books in the library.
Just because she loved reading books and appreciated antiques, it didn’t mean she knew how to restore them. Skylar could only have gotten a job here because of Joe.
For ordinary people, the selection process to make it into Alexander’s team seemed to be fair and based on ability. But for the truly affluent families, those were merely rules set for ordinary people.
Skylar had broken up with him without any hesitation for these matérial benefits!
He waited for another half an hour before Skylar finally walked out of the building. She seemed to be a
little tired. She hadn’t even eaten lunch that day because she had focused all her attention and energy on
her restoration work.
Although she appeared calm and collected, as if she didn’t care much about money, that was just keeping up appearances in front of others. She actually cared a lot.

This weekend, she would find time to look at some properties. She wanted to buy a house of her own–a house for their family where her adoptive mother and siblings could live.
Thinking about this, Skylar smiled
Just as she was about to head to the parking lot, someone rushed toward her, grabbed her arm, and forcefully dragged her aside.
Skylar was startled. At first, she didn’t recognize Christopher because of his drastic change. He had lost

considerable weight and hadn’t shaved his beard. He looked even more disheveled than when they last
met.
“Let go of me!” Skylar forcefully pulled her arm back and delivered two slaps swiftly, one on each side of Christopher’s cheeks.
Skylar didn’t hold back at all. She had wanted to beat him up a long time ago! Since he came asking for a beating, she wouldn’t deny him that. He more than deserved the beating for what he did in her previous
life.
Christopher hadn’t exercised for quite some time; he had given up on himself. Skylar’s attack stunned him, causing him to take two steps back.
“You’ve changed, Skylar! You’re different from before! You would never have acted like this in the past. I’ve heard about everything. You’re Joe’s lover, aren’t you? Skylar, don’t you know he’s just toying with you? He’ll never marry you or take responsibility for you.”
Skylar raised an eyebrow.
