Chapter 153
“Ms. Silver, how do you know Skylar? Do you know who her sugar daddy is?”
Maisy’s throat felt dry as she suddenly realized she hadn’t asked the most pressing question.
Her entire family wanted to know who Skylar’s benefactor was. Unfortunately, they still had zero clue after several days of investigating.
Annie smiled faintly. “I’ve only met Ms. Sullivan once. I don’t know much about her.”
Regardless of how much Annie disliked Skylar, she was clear on one thing–Joe hadn’t publicly acknowledged his relationship with Skylar.
Even if Skylar and Joe really had sex, they could only be considered as having a fling. And this wasn’t something that Annie should disclose.
She wouldn’t be able to explain herself if Joe found out later.
“I suddenly remembered I have something to attend to, Ms. Williams. I’ll be on my way,” Annie picked up her bag and stood up.
Maisy was astonished, “Where did you happen to meet her, Ms. Silver? Did she approach you?”
Just now, no matter what Annie asked, Maisy answered everything except for Skylar’s real identity.
She even told Annie the fact that Skylar had a boyfriend. So, why didn’t Annie answer her question when it was her turn to ask?
Why did it feel like Annie knew who Skylar’s benefactor was?
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so curious about Skylar, asking tons of questions.
Annie’s expression turned slightly cold. With a clear sense of distance, she said, “Sorry, that’s all in the past. I can’t recall where we met. It was nice chatting with you. Perhaps we’ll meet again in the future.”
“Wait. Let’s exchange WhatsApp contacts. That will make it easier for us to chat directly whenever needed.” Maisy took out her phone and opened WhatsApp, wanting to add Annie’s contact.
But Annie remained still and said, “Let’s save it for the next time we meet. Goodbye.”
Even if Maisy was stupid, she could see that Annie had no intention of meeting her again. She felt extremely embarrassed. “How did Annie know Skylar?”
Maisy remembered that Annie took the initiative to add Skylar’s WhatsApp contact. However, Skylar didn’t even seem eager to add Annie. But when it came to her, Annie refused even after she asked for her
contact.
Just the thought of everyone giving Skylar the special treatment made Maisy extremely uncomfortable. she clenched her teeth tightly.
In retrospect, she realized it was inconsequential. To the Williams family, Maisy was queen. Skylar had no

position at all.
Caleb was lying on the hospital bed, playing with his phone. He was bored to death.
He had surgery on his leg and would only be discharged tomorrow. But he wouldn’t be able to walk for roughly three months, let alone ride a motorcycle or engage in extreme sports.
He glanced at the time; there was still an hour left before Skylar got off work.
Caleb was bored out of his mind. He was even more eager for Skylar now.
Just as he was playing a game, a phone call came in.
“Uncle John.”
“Caleb, I heard from the old fart that you like Skylar. She is working with the old fart, right?” John asked.
Caleb rolled his eyes. “Why does Grandpa feel the need to broadcast every detail to the world? Uncle John, if you’re so keen on managing kids, maybe you should start a family of your own; don’t meddle in my affairs. Grandpa has agreed to this matter. Skylar is really likable.”
“You can’t have her. Just forget about her. While there isn’t much emotional attachment yet, just find someone else to like,” said John.
“Why
can’t I? Did Grandpa tell you that she’s a few years older than me? So what? I look more mature than her anyway. People would think I’m older than her by a few years just by looks. Just leave me alone, Uncle
John.
“Nowadays, it’s all about free love, you know? I’m not interested in a transactional marriage.” Caleb completely disregarded John’s advice.
