Chapter 233

Steven stared at Joe in disbelief. Then, he looked at Skylar in amazement and asked, "Where did you find this actor?"

Actor? Steven wondered if this man was relying on his resemblance to Joe Martin to deceive Skylar.

Joe laughed at Steven's accusation. "Steven, he's not an actor. He's really Joe Martin. We have the marriage certificate. Here, I'll show you the photo." Skylar produced photos of their marriage certificate on her phone.

Steven examined the photos doubtfully, but he could tell they were unaltered. It was a genuine marriage certificate, and he noted the date.

"Are you really Joe Martin? Mr. Martin, CEO of Martin Group?" Steven felt as if he were dreaming. It seemed unreal. He knew who Joe Martin was and was well aware of the Martin Group's influence in Jipsburg. He just hadn't expected Skylar's husband to be Joe Martin!

Joe smiled slightly. "Yes."

Still worried that Skylar had hired a look-alike, Steven immediately searched for Joe online. He found numerous high-definition photos; anyone following financial news would recognize Joe. Steven had seen Joe interviewed, but seeing him on TV and in person had only made him think they resembled each other—not that they were the same person.

Skylar looked on helplessly; it was clear Steven still didn't believe her.

"Steven, do you remember when I told you about Grandma Gloria? He's her grandson. Grandma Gloria introduced us and facilitated our marriage," Skylar explained, noticing Steven's continued doubt and his phone searches. She immediately mentioned Gloria, Viola's friend, whose trustworthiness extended to her friends.

Hearing this, Steven lowered his phone, looking at Skylar in shock. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Chapter 233

Skylar glanced at Joe. Their marriage had been a secret from the start, so she couldn't tell anyone. Before she could speak, Joe explained, "Due to family matters, Skylar and I agreed on a low-key wedding. We decided to keep our marriage secret for now and not announce it. Once the time is right, we will announce our marriage." Joe wanted to be with Skylar openly, and letting people in Jipsburg know she was his wife would protect them from ill-intentioned individuals like Caleb.

Skylar nodded. "Steven, I just started working, and for now, I also prefer to keep my marriage private."

Steven, still shocked, took a few sips of beer. "Give me some time to process this. I'll think about it." He needed to calm down. He never expected Skylar to drop such a bombshell—the man before him was Joe Martin! He knew many Jipsburg celebrities longed to marry Joe, even some of his classmates. They often joked about wanting to marry Joe, preferring to remain single rather than marry anyone else!

Who would have thought Joe would be his brother-in-law? And here they were, eating skewers at a barbecue restaurant! Steven felt a mix of emotions.

However, he quickly focused on the most crucial aspect: So many people desired Joe, yet he had chosen Skylar. Did he truly like her?

Steven stared at Joe and asked, "Do you like Skylar?"
