Chapter 1168
1/2
Ernest and Nelson’s brother, Darren Martin, who had been living abroad, returned unexpectedly.
Years ago,
he and his entire family had moved out of Jipsburg City and immigrated overseas. If not for his sudden return, people in Jipsburg would have long forgotten that the Martins were once a powerful family with all its internal complexities.
In a short time, Darren had taken control of the Martin Group. Six months later, many people in Jipsburg had already forgotten that Joe was once its CEO.
During this time, Lizzie was interviewed by many media outlets about Joe’s disappearance, and the internet was filled with reports of her heartbreak.
Lizzie used the opportunity to announce that she would take a one–year break.
Shortly after that, Gloria also moved out of Jipsburg to retire in Murida. A month after Gloria left, Skylar made her way to Murida as well.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye. [1
At the airport, Skylar raised her luggage and headed outside. Just as she was about to hail a cab, a car pulled up in front of her.
The car window rolled down, revealing a handsome face in front of Skylar.
“I checked today’s flight from Murida to Jipsburg. You didn’t tell us the time because you didn’t want to disrupt our work, right?”
Charles drove a low–key MPV worth around 200 thousand dollars. No one would expect a major celebrity to arrive at the airport in such an unassuming vehicle.
Recently, he had a film that just premiered, and it received outstanding reviews, breaking box office records for the year. As one of the hottest male celebrities at the moment, he was riding a wave of popularity.
Wherever he went, he was easily recognized by fans.
Seeing Skylar with a large suitcase, Charles immediately got out of the car and loaded it into the truck. Noticing that someone was looking his way, he lowered his voice and said, “Get in the car quickly.”
Skylar knew that Charles was currently very popular, so she got in right away.
Once inside, she couldn’t help but smile at him and said, “Charles, you’re quite extraordinary now. In just three years, you’ve already won two major awards.”
It had been a little over three years since she left Jipsburg City, a time that felt both–long and short. This was her first time back since she had moved.

As she gazed out at the familiar sights of Jipsburg from the car window, memories began to flood her mind. A trace of melancholy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly buried it deep down. “Mom and Steven are at home cooking your favorite dishes. Before I left, I made a special dish that will definitely blow your mind,” Charles said, glancing at her from the corner of his eyes.
Seeing Skylar staring intently at the scenery outside, he noticed a subtle sadness in her expression that was hard to detect. His heart sank as he thought of the reason for her three- year stay in Murida.
They all understood why she had spent three years in Murida.
It was because she had always believed that Joe was still alive. Living in Murida allowed her to keep searching for Joe and stay updated on any news about him.
Yet, three years had passed without a trace of him. The hope of finding Joe alive was becoming increasingly slim.
Just like their father, who had drowned years ago. They had searched endlessly but could never recover his body.
and They had realized too late that he had fallen into the water, and by the time they started looking, a day and night had already passed. The water level had risen during that time, the current had become fierce. Many had fallen in over the years, leaving no remains behind.
Life was indeed unpredictable.
As they chatted, they quickly reached the city center.
As they neared home, Skylar’s phone began to ring incessantly. The first call was from Natalie.
