Chapter 379
Skylar could afford a house in Jipsburg right after getting a job?
What was Skylar’s job? Wasn’t she just some random nobody in Gardner Group?
Peter’s eyes were as wide as saucers.
Maisy didn’t even bother to hide her disbelief. “How is that possible?” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Skylar didn’t bother answering, seemingly unfazed by their reaction.
Meanwhile, the host’s brain had stopped working. She had no idea how to salvage this situation. Fortunately, she received a call, saving her. “Yes, Mr. Loid?”
The host’s pallor went paler and paler with each word coming from the director’s mouth.
Once she ended the call, she immediately turned to Peter and demanded, “Did you or did you not hide something from the show?”
The show had been up and running for more than a year. It was the first time they had ever run head–first into such a difficult situation. Now, they couldn’t even say with certainty that the show could go on.
Peter couldn’t help but frown at her demands. He hadn’t quite shaken the shock of Skylar being a homeowner when he noticed a suited man approaching him.
The man had a pair of gold–rimmed glasses perched on his nose and was none other than Jacky. Several police officers were following his lead.
“Did you ask for my client’s consent to be on this show? That was the first thing Jacky asked the host. The host froze as her mind whirled. She swore she had seen this lawyer from some news somewhere. Meanwhile, Peter’s eyes nearly fell from their sockets when they landed on Jacky. “Why are you… You’re Skylar’s lawyer?”
Jacky was Martin Group’s legal advisor. Why was he… Just how did Skylar manage to hire Jacky?
“I’m Ms. Sullivan’s lawyer. I’ll be taking questions in her stead.” Jacky carried himself in a way that made it seem as though he had everything and everyone in the palm of his hand.
It was as if their very lives were dancing to his tune–as if he was saying that those who had harmed his client had hell to pay.
Then, he turned to inform the officers about the situation.
The officers already had a vague picture of what had gone down. So, they turned to the show’s staff and said, “All of you will be making a statement. You can’t film someone without their consent even if you’re filming a show.”
The show’s staff and the host were utterly baffled by this turn of events.
However, if they were all taken into custody, their competitors would definitely use this opportunity to

attack them. Once that happened, their show would be done for!
Suddenly, one of the officers received a call. His face turned grim after hearing the news.
His voice became harsh as he said, “Your show has crossed the line! You’ve even brought your people to harass her workplace?
“I’ll have you know that the Gardner Group’s lawyers are waiting for you lot at the police station! You’ll all be coming with us.”
Skylar and Jacky were the only people utterly unmoved by the commotion. The show’s staff, Peter, and Maisy were dumbfounded. They couldn’t even spare a thought to hide their dismay.
The host finally managed to recognize Jacky when she was downstairs.
“Are you Mr. Lourdes?”
Jacky glanced at her dispassionately. “Yes.”
The host turned a worrying shade of white.
Skylar didn’t expect Jacky to be this terrifying. He managed to scare the living daylights out of Peter and the host.
