Chapter 444
Kenny’s eyes brightened. He added, “Right, let’s ask her for help.”
Maisy’s gaze darted away before focusing back on Peter. She said, “I’ve taken my savings out because of what happened to our family. She should sacrifice something too, shouldn’t she?”
Looking at his self–righteous siblings, Peter recalled how Skylar behaved the last time she
came home.
She was indifferent to them, as though they were nothing more than strangers to her.

Peter chuckled coldly and said, “She won’t help us. None of you are allowed to seek her out.
The three of them exchanged glances.
They could see one thing in each other’s eyes–they did not want to struggle for survival like all those working–class people. They did nothing more than slave away every day to earn money, and that kind of life would diminish their abilities of self–expression.
If Peter liked that, he could live it himself. Why was Skylar living a life that made her the envy of countless women? By relying on Joe, she was making a name for herself in Jipsburg City.
In contrast, they had to come up with a million ways to pay off their debts.
However, they dismissed the idea. They would ask Skylar for help no matter what.
Skylar had swept the Williamses‘ misfortune to the back of her mind. Occasionally, she would overhear her colleagues discussing their affairs.
One of the wealthiest families in Jipsburg City had gone bankrupt, so they would probably never hear about the Williamses again.
Skylar heard from Paul that the Williamses were saddled with massive debt after their bankruptcy. They owed many people, and the Williams family would never recover from
this.
Without Jeffrey spearheading the Williamses, they weren’t a threat to Skylar, especially considering Peter’s busyness. He could barely keep himself afloat.

However, Skylar was surprised to find herself cornered by Maisy, Samuel, and Kenny while
getting into her car after a day of work.
Upon seeing her locally manufactured electric–powered car, disdain colored their eyes. Why hadn’t she gotten a new car after so long with Joe?
Was she still driving that cheap little car? It probably cost less than 15 thousand.
“Get out of my way,” Skylar ordered. She stared at Kenny, who stood before her car to prevent her from getting in.
Kenny’s expression seemed a little awkward. After getting scolded by her, he was somewhat embarrassed. He complained, “I’m your elder brother, Skylar.”
Maisy put her ego down and begged, “Skylar, our family is in a crisis right now. We’re practically homeless. We’re buried in debt. Mom can barely afford her medicine. You’ve always been kind and loving, not to mention the fact that you treat your stepmom like a queen. Can’t you help us?”
She was unwilling to say all that. Maisy didn’t want to beg Skylar for help. However, she didn’t want to struggle to survive.
Samuel wanted to have a go at Skylar. Why was she acting so superior? Hadn’t she gotten to her current position by taking advantage of a man? He added, “We’re giving you a chance to shoulder our family’s hardships together. Once the Williamses recover, you’ll be a hero.”
Skylar glared at Samuel. His idiocy never once disappointed her.
“Fuck off,” Skylar snarled. She then pushed Kenny away.
He hadn’t been expecting to be shoved out of the way. When he came to his senses, Skylar had gotten into her car.
The three of them pounded at the windows, screaming at Skylar and ordering her to come out.
Skylar stuck her middle finger at them. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head.
She pulled her phone out and pulled out a video before placing the phone against the window, Skylar rolled the window down slightly so that they could hear the audio.
