After receiving Joe’s reply, John walked downstairs.
Upon hearing Suzy greet him with “Mr. Gardner“, the three members of the Williams family immediately looked toward John.
Facing John, the three appeared slightly less imposing.
Peter, in particular, was only two or three years apart from John. They could basically be considered as peers, but in front of John, he felt intimidated.
“Mr. Gardner, we came here today to talk about you and Skye.” Jeffrey spoke first.
John, who had just sat down, was slightly surprised when he heard him. He asked, Me and Skylar?”
He had only met Skylar once. What could have happened?
“Yes, we already know that Skylar is your secret lover. We didn’t know about this before. Skylar hid it from us out of fear of being blamed,” Peter quickly added.
Jeffrey nodded and explained. “Our family is very strict. We don’t tolerate anyone in the family undermining others‘ relationships.
“Skye has been quite immature. However, it takes two to tango. Mr. Gardner, you
must have pursued Skye as well, right?”
“Skye has always listened to us. She is also very sensible. She must be suffering from a guilty conscience now that she’s with you,” Sadie chimed in.
John realized what was going on after listening to them. His handsome face turned
solemn.
It was no wonder Joe had said that the Williams family wasn’t related to Skylar and
that there was no need to be polite to them.
It seemed that the Williamses had misunderstood his relationship with Skylar. But
John wanted to know what their real intentions were in coming to see him.
“Just state your purpose,” John demanded in a cold tone.

The three exchanged glances. They sensed John’s indifferent attitude toward them. So, they began to feel nervous.
However, they still thought they could try.
Jeffrey said, “We accept your relationship with Skylar, but we hope you can help our family through this difficult time.”
“Helping us is also equivalent to helping yourself,” Peter added.
John had a clear understanding of the situation now. He stood up and said coldly,”
You have all been mistaken. Skylar and I have nothing to do with each other.”
Upon seeing this, Peter took out his phone and showed John the photo that Samuel
had taken earlier.
“We have photos as evidence to prove your relationship with Skylar.”
John glanced at the photo. It was a scene of him having lunch with Skylar in a restaurant yesterday afternoon.
He hadn’t expected someone to take photos of him. What was even more
unexpected was that the Williams family had come to him to sell out Skylar.
It was no wonder Skylar didn’t acknowledge them. They were a pack of ambitious,
heartless wolves.
“Just because of a photo of Skylar and me having lunch together, you
misunderstand our relationship? If you continue to cause trouble, I’ll have my lawyer speak to you. Do you think you can bear the consequences of damaging my
reputation?” John warned expressionlessly.
The three were stunned, especially Jeffrey and Peter. They hadn’t expected John to
be so resolute.
They had thought that John might not help them easily, but they hadn’t anticipated that he would completely deny his relationship with Skylar and even threaten to sue them!
The tables had turned.
“You can’t fake the truth or lie. If you hadn’t supported Skylar, how could she have
joined Mr. Gardner Senior’s team? Your words might fool others, but they certainly can’t fool us!” Sadie said anxiously.
Hearing Sadie question Skylar’s abilities and question Alexander’s hiring standards. made John feel a surge of anger.
“You dare to slander my dad? You Williamses sure have some nerve. Have you any have some nerve. Have you any
idea who the Gardners are in Jipsburg?” John asked.
While speaking, he typed a message to Joe. “The Williams family is really something. They think I’m in a relationship with Skylar and claim that she joined my dad’s team because of me. To save their own company, they want Skylar to stay with me. How blind can they be?”
