Chapter 243
Charles glanced at Maisy coolly and said nothing.
But Harvey was younger and acted more straightforwardly. He sneered and said, “We don’t welcome you.”
Maisy smiled bitterly. “I know you’ve all misunderstood me. But I believe you’ll get to
know the real me and stop misunderstanding me soon.”
Janine sighed inwardly. She felt helpless as she saw that Charles and Harvey were defensive and disgusted with Maisy.
After all, they had previously experienced several unpleasant issues. They couldn’t resolve the misunderstanding so easily.
“Mom, my friend just showed me Skylar’s Instagram post. What’s her current
boyfriend’s job?”
“Skylar’s boyfriend?” Janine was stunned.
“Skye doesn’t have a boyfriend. Didn’t you snatch her ex–boyfriend away?” Harvey
sneered.
Maisy gritted her teeth. “It was a misunderstanding. I clarified it at that time.”
Harvey retorted unceremoniously, “Stop kidding. Do you think everyone is a fool?”
“I can’t see Skylar’s Instagram because she has blocked me. But my friend sent me a photo.” Maisy sent them the photo on her phone.
Harvey raised an eyebrow as he glanced at the photo. “He’s probably her friend.”
“Yes, they could be colleagues or friends,” Janine echoed Harvey’s thoughts.
Charles had already asked Skylar, but she hadn’t responded yet. It was normal for her to take photos with men. They wouldn’t think much of it, even if Elliot turned out to be her boyfriend.
“Skylar must have paid a lot to join Mr. Gardner Senior’s team. Mom, you may need to pay more attention to her. After all, girls are more prone to suffering.
Chapter 243
“You may be unaware of Mr. Gardner Senior’s status in Jipsburg. Nobody can join his team without any connection or skills. Skylar may be on the wrong path-”
Before Maisy could finish her words, Harvey slapped her hard. “Watch your words. and stop spouting rubbish! My sister joined the team with her own abilities!”
“Don’t slander Skye again.” Janine frowned.
Charles snorted coldly. “Did you come here to destroy our relationship with Skye? Then, you should give up. We know Skye better than anyone else. All of your efforts
are in vain.”
Maisy stood up angrily. “Do you know what Mr. Gardner Senior’s team does?”
“Mainly restoring cultural relics, Charles responded calmly.
She was stunned when she heard that. She even started to wonder if Skylar had
hidden her abilities.
Jeffrey and Sadie were astonished when they saw Skylar’s Instagram post, which Maisy had forwarded to them.
“Why did she post this photo at this critical juncture? We were embarrassed in front of John this morning. Now we’ve truly offended the Gardners!” Peter was furious.
“Could Skylar be flirting with John and other men at the same time? I think it’s possible! She’s not that well–behaved and sensible. She’s wild!” Samuel commented.
Jeffrey was at home with Sadie. He looked at the group chat, hoping that Skylar
might answer the question.
It was unfortunate that they hadn’t added her to the group chat from the get go. She had also left the other group chat that had been created separately.
Sadie asked, “Jeff, what should we do now? Can our company survive in this
situation?”
“Our company is at its most crucial point. It’s most likely that we won’t be able to save it. It might not be long before we have to declare bankruptcy.” Jeffrey appeared extremely solemn.

Sadie turned pale; she had never seen him that downcast. “Only a short amount of time has passed. How could our company-”
“Just be ready. We might have to sell our villa. I’ll take out all the properties and get a mortgage to see if I can turn things around. I’ve been wondering if it could be due to Skylar. But that doesn’t seem to be the case,” Jeffrey stated.
In fact, he hoped that a certain big shot would truly spot Skylar. He was willing to sell
her in exchange for his company.
