“I already refused you last time. Now our family’s company is facing some problems. I was short on money before, and now it’s even worse. Think of another solution.
“You might as well ask Skylar. She had a formidable backer. She even dared to mock us coldly when she came home the other day. She even had the courage to cut ties with my family.
Maisy was really running out of patience with Christopher. She wondered why she hadn’t noticed how troublesome Christopher was before. He constantly bothered her with trivial matters over the phone,
which annoyed her to no end.
Christopher looked at the phone that had been ruthlessly hung up. He could feel his cheeks burning.
He had spent so much money on Maisy, and now that he was facing difficulties, he couldn’t believe Maisy
had turned her back on him!
If only he had known…
He shouldn’t have betrayed Skylar. If he hadn’t betrayed Skylar, she wouldn’t have left him for another
man
Paul didn’t seem better than him in any way. Skylar must have found out about him and Maisy, then acted
recklessly in a fit of anger.
Christopher regretted it more and more!
But there was no time left for regrets. “I can only sell the old house and go back home for the surgery.”
No, he felt he had to try again. He had to find Skylar. He couldn’t live without her!
Janine was surprised when she received a call from Amelia. She had blocked Amelia’s number, and she
had called from a different one.
She started crying as soon as she spoke. “Janine, I apologize. It was my fault! Over the years, my health has been poor, and I’ve often visited the hospital.
“After so long, it affected me mentally, making me selfish and inconsiderate of others. These past few days, I’ve been full of regret, especially about the hurtful things I said to you that day and how I hurt
Skylar’s feelings.”
She added, “I’ve been reflecting these days and even consulted a doctor. My condition is mostly psychological, which is why I couldn’t control myself and hurt others.
“We’ve known each other for so many years. You should know what kind of person I am. I truly wish for the best for them. Last time, I wronged Skylar, and I regretted those words as soon as they were said.”
She continued, “Janine, the children have been in a relationship for so many years, and it’s the purest form of romance. Our generation hasn’t experienced much romance, but we can’t ruin the kids‘ love.

“Christopher truly loves Skylar. They had such a stable relationship before, and they were about to get married. We can’t let a few misunderstandings and my mistakes end their relationship.
“It really is a misunderstanding. How could Christopher ever wrong Skylar? It’s all fake! Oh, right, the Williams family. They really mistreated Skylar, especially your own daughter.
*She often seduces Christopher and then causes trouble for Skylar at the Williams family. This time, it must have been her doing, just to break Skylar and Christopher apart.
Amelia had now seen clearly that she couldn’t rely on Maisy. Christopher had made it clear that Maisy would only watch coldly from the sidelines and take their money but never give them any in return.
They had to depend on Skylar for the surgery.
Janine’s face turned completely cold as she listened to her parents talk about the things Maisy had done to Skylar.
Just a few days ago, Maisy had unusually called her. She was asking Skylar to return to the Williams family.
Then she called Skylar, and she must have gone back to the Williams family. She never mentioned what the Williamses did to her.
She always reported joy but not sorrow. She hid her grievances deep inside, not wanting to concern
anyone.
Janine felt utterly incompetent as a mother, especially after hearing from others about Skylar’s suffering.
“So you knew everything, yet you just watched Skylar suffer. Let me make it clear, I absolutely will not agree to Skylar being with your son. You can give up on that!”
Janine had just hung up the phone when Harvey, who had been listening to her and Amelia’s conversation, pushed open the front door and ran out.
“Harvey, where are you going?”
“I’m going to find my sister!”
