Chapter 396
Were they out of their minds?
The two who were passionately kissing immediately pulled apart upon hearing the noise.
They tuned to see Samuel standing at the door, his eyes wide with disbelief, as if they had committed some unforgivable crime. Both of them were momentarily stunned.
Maisy was the first to react.
Her eyes were red as she said, “Kenny and I… we like each other. We only realized our feelings recently. We didn’t want this, but sometimes love isn’t something you can control.
“We’re not biological siblings, so we can be together, can’t we? Samuel, don’t look at me like that. I’m not a sinner. I’m just in a helpless situation.”
Hearing this, Kenny felt a pang of heartache and hugged Maisy, then coldly addressed Samuel, “Close the door first. No one else can know about this.”
Samuel, still in shock, closed the door.
“Maisy isn’t our biological sister. We aren’t blood–related, so we can be together. This isn’t her fault. It’s mine. I should have controlled my feelings for her. But she’s right, you can’t stop your feelings.
“She likes me, and I like her. I know exactly what I’m doing, Samuel. You’re my brother, you should be happy for us,” Kenny said, taking an authoritative stance as the eldest brother.
Every word he spoke was to paint himself and Maisy as victims.
However, this revelation was too much for Samuel to handle. He could never have imagined the brother he respected the most, Kenny and his most beloved sister to be in such a relationship.
Something felt off, but under Kenny and Maisy’s pitiful gazes, Samuel stiffly nodded.
“I won’t tell anyone for now, but given the current situation at home, you two should avoid acting like this. If Dad or Peter finds out, there will be another problem, and most importantly, Mom must never find out.”
Kenny and Maisy agreed. With the current state of affairs at home, they certainly wanted to avoid causing more trouble. If Mom found out, it would indeed cause a huge problem.
All three fell silent at the thought of their mother’s current state.
Maisy hesitated, wondering if she should tell them about Skylar and Joe. After some deliberation, she decided against it.
If she told them, they would was more capable of managing to catch Joe’s attention.
only think !
And so, the three of them kept their thoughts to themselves, remaining silent.
The controversy about the Williams family continued to escalate online.

The TV channel was also facing significant troubles, with some programs being suspended. The director and hosts‘ careers took a heavy blow.
The director, in particular, was exposed to various scandals, some of which involved illegal activities. Things were quickly getting out of hand.
Public opinion made it nearly impossible for the Williams family to recover. Many who considered continuing working with them had backed out.
Within days, the company went into a financial crisis. They couldn’t even pay their employees.
When payday arrived, the household staff had no salaries and had to complain to the Department of Labor, causing chaos in the Williams household.
These developments were widely reported online.
Ever since Caleb found out how malicious the Williams family was, he kept a keen eye ort their situation and brought the latest updates to Skylar each day at work. Thus, Skylar was always informed without having to search for news herself.
That day, she and Joe were scheduled to visit Gloria at Pearhall Residence. After work, she drove there. As she approached the place, she received a call from Edgar.
