Chapter 128
“Why you Maisy stood up angrily. She never expected Skylar to be so rude.
Originally pretending to be ill, Sadie’s face still had a rosy flush. Her expression turned unsightly upon hearing Skylar’s words.
“Enough, this is too disrespectful! Do you even know what you’re saying?” Jeffrey scolded angrily.
“Your mother is ill, and not only do you not care, but you speak without thinking. Who taught you to act like this?” Peter asked sternly.
Kenny wanted to say something but remembered what Skylar had said. Looking at his family, he suddenly wondered if Skylar was always treated so poorly.
Skylar’s cool and emotionless gaze swept past the Williamses and settled on Sadie. “I thought you called me back because your conscience had finally kicked in. I thought you were planning to let me inherit the family fortune.”
Not to mention, the Williams family was being suppressed by the Martin Group. It wouldn’t be long before their company faced further diminishment at the hands of the Martin Group.
Such a small inheritance was not even worth her attention.
Sadie was overcome by anger and unable to speak. She started coughing violently due to her haste.
“Mom.” Maisy rushed to pat Sadie’s back gently.
“The Williams family fortune is none of your concern, Samuel said through gritted teeth.
Their family’s assets included a share for Maisy. They wouldn’t leave anything for Skylar.
Although Jeffrey was also quite upset, he managed to keep his composure. “Samuel, that’s enough.”
Skylar slowly curved her lips into a smile. She looked at the people before her. She felt no attachment to this family anymore. They weren’t worth anything to her.
“Keep your family assets hidden away from me. I wouldn’t want to take some petty assets,” Skylar said
mockingly.
Peter watched Skylar intently. He noticed her completely different attitude and genuine disgust. His face. soured as he asked, “What is your relationship with Paul?”
“Are you prying a bit too much?” Skylar countered.
“I’m your older brother. I have a right to know who you are involved with,” Peter said.
If this were a company, the employees would certainly be afraid if Peter got angry.
But Skylar just raised an eyebrow. “Where were you a few days ago when the Williams family was busy buying trending searches to destroy me?
“Did you fall into a hole? Or did you go deaf? Or maybe blind? Now you come out trying to act like my

brother. Isn’t that just despicable?”

Peter’s face turned ashen. “Do you realize what you are saying? If you acknowledged your mistakes and apologized properly today, all the mistakes you’ve made could have been forgotten.
“You could have moved back in and still been considered part of the family. But since you’ve come back,
what have you done?”
He added, “You haven’t admitted your mistakes. Instead, you’ve opposed us at every turn. You have spoken without restraint. Don’t forget how you tried to ingratiate yourself with us when you first came back. Now, do you want to throw all that away?”
“Enough, Peter, you should shut up as well,” Jeffrey scolded Peter.
Then he turned to Skylar. “There were misunderstandings on both sides before. You are my daughter. Not words a bit? matter how many mistakes you’ve made, I can forgive you. But now, can you hold back your Come over and see your mom. She’s become ill because she missed you.”
Skylar thought they were trying to change their approach to a soft one in order to convince her.
“Skylar, come here and let me look at you. You’ve only been away from home for a little over a month. How have you lost so much weight? Is life tough outside? Come home,” Sadie said with concern.
Her eyes were red.
If it had been before, Skylar might have believed her.
In the past, to make Skylar endure feeling unwell and go to the hospital for blood tests, Sadie used more convincing tricks than now.
Skylar stood at the door without moving. Suddenly, a message from Paul popped up on her phone.
Paul had taken photos of a few items her parents had kept at home. He wanted her to help look at them.
While checking the photos, Skylar said indifferently. “Don’t play games with me. I’m tired of your dirty tricks. They’re almost always the same. Just tell me what you want.”
