Chapter 151
“Just you wait!” Maisy’s face was pale with anger as she stormed off. After walking for quite a distance, she called Janine.
“Ms. Yancey, I just ran Into Skylar and Harvey. They ganged up on me, cursed at me, and hit me. My clothes are now dirty from being kicked. Even my phone screen is shattered. The part where they hit me still hurts. They’ve gone too far.”
“Why did they hit you?” Janine coldly asked over the phone.
Maisy was taken aback. “I’m not sure. But Skylar and Harvey badmouthed me. Then, Harvey beat me.”
“They wouldn’t attack you for no reason. You must’ve crossed the line. Next time, don’t ever call me for something so trivial, Janine’s tone remained icy.
Maisy was surprised, “You’re my biological mother. Why don’t you stand up for me?”
“You don’t even call me ‘mom‘. Even if you’re my biological child, there’s no reason for me to unconditionally protect you. You’ve never accepted your biological family.”

The call ended abruptly.

Maisy was so mad she wanted to throw her phone away. “You’re just a country bumpkin. What right do you have to be my mom? If you were nice to me, I might have willingly called you aunt.”
Today wasn’t her day.
“You must be Ms. Williams. Do you have the time to sit and talk?”
As Maisy was venting her frustration, Annie called her. Maisy turned stiffly, staring at Annie in disbelief. Did you call for me, Ms. Silver?”
Annie smiled gracefully, “Yes, Ms. Williams.”
“Yeah, I have the time! Maisy was over the moon.
If her friends knew she met Annie, they’d surely be shocked and envy her.
And if Annie could use her connections to help the Williamses through this difficult time, that’d be even better.
Skylar took Harvey to the Lower Ground level and bought some of his favorite snacks.
As it was almost time to work, she tialled a cab for Harvey,

last visited me.”
Offering a brief apology, Skylar replied, “I’ve been really busy these past two days. I’ll come see you after work today. Is there anything you’re craving? I can pick it up on my way.”
“My uncle bought me a bunch of stuff, so I don’t need anything. Your presence is enough.” Caleb responded, exuding an air of loneliness.
Skylar chuckled lightly, “Alright, I’ll come over after work.”
It seemed that hardly anyone visited Caleb ever since he was admitted to the hospital. It was mainly the
nurses who took care of him.
He truly seemed like a pitiful child.
In the Martin Group conference room, John and Joe headed to the CEO’s office after signing the contract.
“I didn’t attend Rowan’s birthday the other day. He mentioned you brought a girl named Skylar?
“Why didn’t I see her today?” John asked as soon as he sat down.
Joe took a sip of his coffee. “You’re into gossip now?”
John also reached for his coffee. “It’s not that I’m nosy. There’s just an interesting coincidence.
“You know my nephew, Caleb, right? He’s taken a liking to a girl recently. She managed to enter my dad’s
team on her own merits, and he sees her as a potential granddaughter–in–law.
“Interestingly, her name is also Skylar. Just like the girl you brought that day.”
