Chapter 429

Upon mentioning the Williams family, Skylar's expression hardened. "They're trying to use me to get you to help their company pull through." The shamelessness of the Williamses surprised her at every turn. Joe chuckled icily before saying, "How foolhardy. With their abilities, if not for their underground trade activities, they wouldn't have managed to develop their company to its current scale. It's unsurprising that they've closed down now." "They might trouble you. Sorry about that," said Skylar with a frown. When she thought of how the Williams family clung to them like barnacles on a ship, hatred churned in her stomach. Joe was unbothered. He responded, "There have been countless people who have tried to cause me trouble since I was a kid. The Williams family is nothing to me. I would hardly call them trouble." Skylar knew Joe was telling the truth. She replied, "Thank you." "We're married. You don't have to thank me for this," said Joe as he stared at Skylar warmly.
