Chapter 308
Peter’s face turned cold. “Do you even know what you’re saying?” His voice dripped
with menace.
Samuel gritted his teeth and glared at Skylar. “Are you saying that blood ties don’t matter? How do you think you got here, then? Skylar, don’t push us!”
Skylar stood up after slinging her bag over her shoulder.
“If there’s anything you need, text me instead of calling,” she said and left. Their words were making her sick.
Skylar had barely taken a few steps when Jeffrey’s voice stopped her. “Hold on!”
She turned to face him.
“Sit down and wait. Your mother is still in surgery. What do you think you’re doing?” Jeffrey’s tone was harsh.
Skylar smirked and glanced at her watch.
“This surgery is going to take a while. If you want me to stick around and listen to your self–righteous nonsense, you’d better show some sincerity. At least a few million dollars might make it worthwhile. Otherwise, shush.”
Skylar couldn’t help but wonder what had deluded the Williamses into thinking they were the center of the universe and everyone had to revolve around them. They had perfected being shameless.
“Skylar, we’re a family. Why do you always bring up money?” Maisy couldn’t hold back anymore and hinted that Skylar was too greedy.
“Peter and Samuel were indeed too impulsive just now. With Mom in an accident, they’re on edge. Don’t hold it against them, Skylar.” Kenny quickly stepped in to ease
the tension.
Peter pressed his lips tightly, as if suppressing some emotion. Meanwhile, Samuel could only shut up under Jeffrey’s glare.
Samuel hated how Skylar didn’t seem to respect them at all. How could she be like

that? Just look at how deferential Maisy was to them! The comparison was stark.
Jeffrey softened his tone slightly. “Let’s discuss anything only after Sadie is out of
surgery.”
Skylar raised an eyebrow and sat down a few seats away from them. Finally, with some peace and quiet, she pulled out her phone and started replying to Joe’s
messages.
Paul had already booked her flight and would pick her up at the airport tomorrow.
Joe seemed to have free time now, so they chatted for a bit.
Samuel felt the urge to lash out again as he saw Skylar engrossed in her phone. But he remembered her earlier threat to leave and bit his tongue.
Maisy, on the other hand, felt a growing dread. She was worried that Skylar might show the Williamses the video. That video was practically a ticking time bomb.
Maisy regretted her impulsiveness. She shouldn’t have met that man at the bar and ended up in such a compromising situation.
Now, with Skylar holding the evidence over her, Maisy’s heart was in her throat.
Unable to stand the unease any longer, Maisy approached Skylar. “Can we talk?”
Having just finished her conversation with Joe and moved on to handling her Amazon orders, Skylar looked up at Maisy.
“Talk?”
Maisy bit her lip, trying to appear calm.
