Chapter 1488
Skylar was speechless at Rosa's words. So, she just said, "Just be careful."
How clueless could she be? Stephen was deceiving her, and she was about to lose everything. But Rosa still focused on irrelevant nonsense.
Even after all she had been through, she still couldn't see the reality of her situation.
This coffee talk was just a waste of time.
Rosa was getting anxious and pale, but she still looked at Skylar with persistence.
"What do you mean by that? You seem to know Stephen. Don't tell me you're jealous that a capable and handsome university student likes me! "In my opinion, his abilities probably rival Joe's. You must be jealous of me. No, you are definitely jealous of me!"
Everyone else might deceive her, but not Stephen-Rosa was sure of that.
She had faced so much over the past few months. Her friends had abandoned her. The only one who stayed by her side during her time in Jipsburg was Stephen. He had helped her through one hardship after another.
He gave her a reason to remain in the city and hope for a better future. She had poured her heart, soul, and nearly all her money into the company they ran together.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt Stephen's boundless love. He only had her in his eyes and no one else.
How could someone like him deceive her? Skylar must be trying to stir up trouble!
However, the voice Skylar used to reply to her was calm, almost dismissive. "Think whatever you want."
"You're so malicious! You've already taken Joe from me, and now you want me to end up all alone too? What do you even gain from destroying my relationship with Stephen?novelbin
"Oh, wait, I know... You're jealous of the three years I lived with Joe. You want to see me miserable, without anyone who cares about me. That would make you happy, wouldn't it?
"You pretend to be so calm and indifferent, but deep down, you're the most conniving person of all! Skylar, I see through you now. One day, Joe will also see your true colors!"
Rosa's eyes widened as she accused Skylar, as if she had truly uncovered Skylar's supposed malicious intent.
Yes, that had to be it-Skylar was out for revenge!
However, Skylar was not interested in furthering the conversation. She just walked out of the café without saying another word.
This time, Rosa didn't stop her.
She stared at Skylar's retreating figure, her face growing paler by the second. A sense of insecurity crept into her heart.
It couldn't be true. Stephen couldn't possibly be deceiving her.
She couldn't let Skylar's words shake her. If she doubted Stephen because of what Skylar said, wouldn't that be exactly what Skylar wanted? No, she wouldn't let Skylar get what she wanted.
Besides, one day, Joe would remember her kindness and the time they spent together during those three years.
Right now, he was just under Skylar's spell. Men were like that, easily distracted by something new and fresh.
Rosa decided to wait.
When Skylar got back to her car, she hadn't even started the engine before Joe called her.
"Still working?"
"I just got off work. Rosa came to see me, so we talked for a bit," Skylar replied.
Joe was silent for a few seconds before he asked, "What did she say?"
"It doesn't tmatter. I just reminded her not to let Stephen deceive her but she didn't believe me. She went to see you today, didn't she? I'm guessing she wanted to borrow money, right?" Skylar asked
None of what Rosa had said had any effect on her. Skylar would never doubt Joe. Their trust was far too
solid to be shaken by someone else's words.
Suddenly, she realized why Rosa trusted Stephen so much-it was probably the same as her own conviction.
Rosa believed in Stephen just as she had unwavering faith in Joe.
Joe confirmed with a hum. "She did ask to borrow money."
།
"There you have it. Stephen must have taken all her money. Now that she's nearly broke, she's turned to you, Skylar said, easily deducing the situation.
