Chapter 238
After realizing that they were most likely mistaken, the Williamses‘ faces turned pale.
They drove their car a distance away. Peter couldn’t bear it any longer and stopped the car by the roadside.
“Dad, if it isn’t John, then we have basically offended the Gardner family again!”
Jeffrey was gloomy. “If it isn’t John, then who else could it be?” he asked.
“Maybe we have misunderstood Skylar, and she’s actually fine?” Sadie asked, considering all possibilities.
This entire time, Skylar had never admitted it, no matter how much they had questioned her. It was just that they hadn’t believed her.
“There must be someone backing her up. Otherwise, how could she have joined Mr. Gardner Senior’s team?” Peter always looked down on Skylar.

Yet, she had managed to join a team that so many people in Jipsburg dreamed to be
a part of. If someone claimed that she relied on real skills to do so, that would truly
be a big joke!
“She’s not close to us now, and she wants to leave whenever she sees us. No matter
how much we ask her, she won’t tell the truth. We can only confront her with
evidence,” Sadie said while staring at the photo on her phone.
She still believed that it should be John. That was the only way things made sense..
“Let Kenny take the photo to ask Skylar,” Jeffrey said to Peter.
Peter pondered for a while and replied, “Okay.”
Skylar had changed her clothes and was coming downstairs. She had made plans to go out with Natalie. Joe also had an appointment, but he was waiting for her so that

they could leave together.
“John said that he has chased them away.

Skylar nodded. “They won’t give up so easily. If Mr. Gardner’s fiancée has any misunderstandings, I can explain it things to her. Could you please help me tell Mr.
Gardner that?”
“They don’t deserve to be your family,” Joe said firmly.
“Do you know why I agreed to marry you so quickly that day? It’s because when you saw Maisy, you didn’t believe her. You’re different from those people in the Williams family. You can quickly and accurately identify a bad person.
“In the future, I thought we could treat each other with respect. There definitely wouldn’t be so many complications then. I expected to have this kind of life, so our future looks promising.” Skylar expressed how she felt deep down.
Joe looked at Skylar with a meaningful look. The words “treat each other with respect
were inexplicably harsh.
“Trusting each other is the most important thing. Your family may be shady, but compared to some of my family members, they’re just small fry. Skylar, by marrying me, you actually did me a favor,” Joe said.
Skylar smiled. “Since you took advantage of me, you must treat me well in the future. Otherwise, those so–called wolves and tigers behind you will scare me, and I will definitely run faster than anyone else.”
She hadn’t asked him about his other family members besides Gloria. Gloria had also never mentioned the other people in the Martin family.
The fact that they hadn’t been mentioned indicated that they were either not worth mentioning or simply not like Joe and Gloria.
Joe smiled. His black eyes seemed to sparkle as if they had stars in them.
Charles didn’t have any acting scenes that day, so he came back to Yancey Residence with two big bags in his hands. The bags were filled with things he had bought for Janine and Harvey.

There was food and daily necessities, as well as a pair of basketball shoes for Harvey. Harvey liked to play basketball, but he didn’t have a good pair of shoes for it.
Charles had recently taken on a supporting role with a high pay. Therefore, he wanted to improve his family’s life as soon as possible.
He had also bought a handbag for Skye.
“Mom, I haven’t seen you cook a table of dishes since I came back before. Why are
you cooking so much today? Isn’t Skye not coming back today?” Charles asked.
Charles‘ eyes widened in surprise when he suddenly witnessed such high–level
treatment.
All the dishes on the table were Janine’s best dishes. Although they had been eating them since they were young, they had never grown tired of them. The food outside was not as good as Janine’s cooking.
To him, the food he ate with the film crew was merely a form of sustenance to keep hunger at bay.
