Chapter 161
Whenever George personally gave instructions, the security guards had to remember. No unauthorized personnel were allowed on the grounds. But Skylar was different.
Skylar smiled and shook her head. “I’m just waiting for my brother. He’s filming inside today.”
“Your brother? Who is he? Let me tell the butler. The film crew will be staying here tonight. We can arrange a better room for your brother, Ms. Sullivan.
“This way, he doesn’t have to share a small room with the others,” the security guard said, already sending a WhatsApp message to the butler.
The butler replied almost instantly. “I have a list of crew members. There’s a gentleman named Charles Sullivan, who must be Ms. Sullivan’s brother. I’ll arrange it immediately.”
Skylar was amazed by the security guard’s efficiency. She didn’t even have a chance to reject. Well, she could prepare some antiques as a gift for George in return for his hospitality.
“Thank you.”
“My pleasure, Ms. Sullivan, It’s our job,” the security guard replied with a smile.
She waited for about two minutes more before she saw Charles running out.
“Skye.”
“Charles, over here.”
Charles ran up to Skylar. “I have the whole afternoon for you. Come on. You haven’t been here before, right? I used to film nearby, and there’s a lake not far away. The water is clear and beautiful. Let me take you there.”
“Ms. Sullivan, you can’t drive on the road toward the lake. Do you want me to take you both there on a motorcycle?” the security guard asked enthusiastically.
Charles couldn’t help but be a little surprised. Skylar had a remarkable ability to connect with people. It had only been a few minutes, and the security guard was already bending over backward to help her.
He recalled the crew’s arrival. The guard had been a stern figure then, peppering them with demands. Even the assistant director had treated the mansion’s staff with deference.
Skylar politely turned down the security guard’s offer. “No thanks. We’ll take our time to walk there.”
“Alright. If you need anything, just call us. There are security guards patrolling by the lake, and we are with them,” the security guard said.
As Skylar and Charles strolled away, Charles leaned in conspiratorially. “If he wasn’t old enough to be your father, I might suspect he had ulterior motives. He’s too attentive to you.”
“Grandma brought me here a while back to help Mr. Querbach with some antiques. So, a lot of the staff recognize me,” Skylar explained.

Charles was indeed an actor. Having seen many films, he had a wild imagination.
Charles Immediately understood. “I see. Come on, let’s go. It only takes roughly ten minutes to walk there.
“Once this film’s finalized, I’ll buy you a bag. There were many women in the crew who owned that specific brand.
“I even took a picture of it. I’ll buy one for you when the time comes.” Charles thought Skylar would look even better with that bag.
“Thanks, Charles.” Skylar didn’t refuse and continued, “We siblings are so telepathic. I’ve also prepared a gift for you. It’s in my car.”
“It’s different now that you’re working and making money. Now, I have a sister who’d buy gifts for me,”
said Charles.
Two figures emerged from the mansion as Skylar and Charles walked further away. They were Kenny and Samuel. Many things were happening at home, so Kenny wanted to talk to Samuel personally.
Seeing Skylar and Charles laughing and chatting together, their expressions changed.
“Did she forget who her real brother is? She came to see Charles and didn’t even think of seeing me?” Samuel muttered, a strange disquiet settling in his stomach.
