The four of them were escorted out of the Gardner Group building.
The security captain even told them threateningly not to con:e back. They were warned that if they were seen at the entrance again, the security would not hesitate to call the police.
If news about such an incident ended up in the media, the Williams family would be utterly disgraced in Jipsburg.
Thus, they returned to the car in embarrassment.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Peter forcefully pounded the steering wheel twice. He was used to having his way all these years. Yet, he had suffered humiliation at every turn lately. Today, even a security captain could threaten him to his facel
“What’s wrong with those people? I’ve already said everything so clearly, but they still defend Skylar. She must have been buttering them up,” Maisy complained angrily. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Because of her intense resentment, she momentarily forgot to conceal her thoughts.
Samuel saw the astonishing hatred in Maisy’s eyes and froze. He thought she had always been kind and timid. However, she looked like she could kill Skylar now with that twisted expression of hers.
“It’s no use trying to get anything out of Skylar. Let’s get someone else to investigate, Kenny said, sighing
helplessly.
He then glanced at the time and said, “I have to go to work now. I’ll go talk to Steven again later and see if
he knows anything.”
“I know someone who might know something. I’ll go find her.” Maisy suddenly thought of Annie.
The last time they met, Annie had asked her all sorts of questions about Skylar. Back then, she hadn’t thought much of it. Reflecting on it now, Maisy believed that Annie must know who was supporting Skylar
financially.
Otherwise, why would she waste her time asking about Skylar?
She hadn’t thought about it before, but now she realized that Annie might have manipulated her. Of course, she wouldn’t simply keep quiet and become a pawn to someone else.
Caleb returned home after being discharged from the hospital. He lay on the bed lazily, watching TV or playing on his phone. Other than that, he would read the thick books his grandfather threw at him from time to time. Occasionally, some tutors came over to give him lessons.
It was very boring and mundane to him.
He wanted to see Skylar, but he couldn’t ask her to come to his house. Skylar still didn’t know he was Alexander’s grandson.

He had never missed or liked a girl this much before.
Feeling bored, he called Alexander. “Grandpa, what’s Skylar busy with right now? Did you give her a lot of work to do? She’s so busy that she isn’t replying to my WhatsApp messages!”
Alexander frowned and replied. “You’re not good enough for Skylar. Stop daydreaming about dating her, and don’t bother her. Look at those superficial WhatsApp messages you sent. Skylar doesn’t have time to look at her phone when she’s working. You two are individuals from different worlds. Don’t force it.”
“Are you really my grandpa? Have you been invaded and replaced by a body snatcher? I thought you wanted Solar to be your granddaughter–in–law! I’ve just undergone a surgery. It’s not like I’m crippled for life. Why do you have to beat me while I’m down?”
Caleb was so angry that he wanted to jump out of bed and confront his grandfather. He wanted to go
straight to his grandfather to ask him what was the matter with him. Why would he discourage his
grandson so readily?
This has nothing to do with whether I’m your grandfather. You’d better get rid of any improper thoughts early on it’s impossible for you and Skylar to get together,” Alexander stated sternly and hung up.
Celeb grimed his teeth in anger. Why did it feel like Alexander had become even more disdainful of him than before?
Gancing at the book beside him, he couldn’t help but open it with clenched teeth.
He would become worthy of Skylar
After work, Skylar went to Pearlhall Residence first. She had dinner with Gloria before returning to Galaxy
There she received a WhatsApp message from Joe that he would be on a business trip for the next two
days
Recalling the embarrassing incident earlier that morning. Skylar breathed a sigh of relief. She was grateful that she didn’t have to face him that day
She texted back, “Okay. Don’t worry about Grandma. I’ll visit her these two days.”
Joe replied, “Sure. Please don’t drink with anyone these two days.”
Skylar’s face flushed red when she saw the word “drink“.
She felt mortified as she let out a soundless scream of anguish in her heart. Suddenly, she felt like Joe had some sort of leverage over her.
