Chapter 125
Jeffrey’s expression darkened.
Sadie was shocked and asked, “Why is the company facing so many problems all of a sudden?”
Jeffrey shot her a harsh look and scoffed. “It’s all thanks to your daughter!”
“My daughter? Maisy has always been sensible. She couldn’t have caused this.” Sadie defended Maisy without hesitation. She completely forgot about her other daughter.
“Mom, it’s not Maisy. She wouldn’t have betrayed her own family. It’s Skylar. I don’t know how, but she became the sugar baby of Joe’s assistant, Paul. She probably said some things, and now Paul is talking bad about our family to Joe.
“As a result, the Martin Group refused to work with us and canceled the order. A lot of other companies are following suit. They’re all afraid of crossing the Martin Group.” Peter gritted his teeth from anger.
For the first time in twenty years, he was having the worst week ever. So many companies were giving him a hard time.
He knew he had Skylar to thank for this. It made him so angry he could almost grind his teeth to dust.
Sadie was stunned. “Skylar? She never seemed like someone who would do such a thing. She was well- behaved when she lived with us. It’s impossible that she did such a thing.”
“Now’s not the time for this. Call her and ask her to come home,” Jeffrey said.
“I’ve called her many times before. She wouldn’t pick up. I even tried to call Janine but she hung up on me after saying a few words. If I call her now, she won’t answer,” Sadie replied. She felt a strange sense of emptiness.
The house had been quiet lately. Maisy was out all the time. Sadie would occasionally find herself missing Skylar’s presence.
She remembered how Skylar used to cook for the family and how she would take care of them when
someone was feeling unwell.
Sadie suddenly wondered if she had taken Skylar for granted.
Peter was still scowling. He turned to Maisy and said, “Maisy, can you call Janine and tell her Mom is
sick? Tell her Mom is bedridden now and wants to meet Skylar.
“But Skylar isn’t answering the phone so we need her help. You’re her biological daughter. She’ll listen to
you.”
“Okay, I’ll try.” Maisy was taken aback. She was half–asleep and was worried about the Williamses after hearing what Jeffrey and Peter had to say about the company.
Sadie frowned at Maisy’s, sluggishness.
Janine was surprised to receive Maisy’s call. After hearing what Maisy had to say, she felt a chill down

her spine.
So, she only called when something happened.
“Ms. Yancey, I’m begging you. Mom is really sick and she really wants to meet Skylar. No matter what happened between us, their bond is unbreakable,” Maisy pleaded, but Janine stayed silent.

She hated Janine. Janine was a country bumpkin who didn’t deserve to be her mother. Now that she had resorted to asking Janine for help, Janine was being difficult with her.
Janine sighed and said, “Okay.”
Skylar had just arrived at Gardner Group when she received a call from Janine.
“Skye, you can decide for yourself if you want to go.” Janine didn’t want to force Skylar into anything.
After all, Sadie was her biological mother. If she really was seriously ill, Skylar would want to see her.
After hanging up the phone, Skylar hesitated for a moment.
Sadie was seriously ill? She didn’t recall this happening in her past life.
Could her being reborn have altered other people’s fates?
