Chapter 422
The Williams family was already in chaos, but Kenny and Maisy’s secret relationship added another layer of tension.
Sensing the family on the verge of collapse, Peter felt a knot of unease tighten in his gut.
Peter felt uneasy. He sensed that their family was on the brink of collapse.
Skylar made her way to Sadie’s room. Sadie now slept alone.
A flicker of surprise crossed Skylar’s face at the sight of Sadie.
The constant harping about loyalty and dedication from the Williamses seemed to evaporate when it came to Sadie. The room was spotless, yet Sadie’s complexion was pale and lifeless, a far cry from someone meticulously cared for.
In comparison to Skylar’s past life, paralyzed and neglected, where her room was a testament to her suffering, Sadie’s situation seemed almost luxurious.
Tears welled up in Sadie’s eyes at the sight of Skylar. But Skylar’s cold stare felt like a chokehold, stealing the air from Sadie’s lungs.
“Skye “Sadie struggled to speak.
Skylar’s demeanor remained icy. “You requested my presence, Mrs. Williams. What is it you want?”
Sadie felt even more distressed. It hadn’t been like this before. “Skye, I was wrong before. Can you forgive me? I now realize how wrong I was.”
Skylar raised an eyebrow, a hint of impatience flickering in her eyes. “Forget forgiveness. What do you. want?”
She couldn’t help but wonder if the Williamses thought feigning remorse would win her back.
Sadie burst into tears. “Skye… do you truly hate me? Because if I treated you the way I did in that dream, I would hate myself too.
The mention of the dream caused Skylar’s long lashes to flutter ever so slightly.
Memories of her bedridden past life, flooded back. Sadie’s life would have followed the right path without her interference in this lifetime.
The car accident had left her with hazy, fragmented dreams of her previous existence.
Would Sadie have repented if not for the accident? Skylar pondered for a moment before dismissing the thought. She concluded that it was impossible.
Jeffrey and the others stood by the door. They felt uneasy at Skylar’s coldness.
“Since you know I would resent you so deeply, why bother asking? It seems you have nothing else to discuss. I have already visited you. Please refrain from sending anyone else to find me in the future,

Skylar stated coldly.

It was almost certain that Sadie only experienced flashes of her previous life due to the car accident. She was not a reincarnation like Skylar.
“Wait! Skye, could you… could you come back home? Can you give me a chance to make it up to you? After all, I did carry for ten months. I know I’ve done wrong before, but can you give me a chance to repent?” Sadie pleaded anxiously.
Skylar snorted. “Don’t you fear that Maisy might misunderstand your attempts to win me over? Given all that has transpired, Mrs. Williams, spare yourself the effort.”
“She… She hasn’t treated me well. After all, she’s not my biological daughter.” Sadie’s past fondness for Maisy now seemed so foolish. She used to think biological ties were unimportant as long as Maisy pleased her.
She felt foolish now that she had seen the error of her ways.
Maisy, eavesdropping on their conversation, felt a surge of anger, She bit her lip hard to hold back the retort that burned on her tongue.
Skylar paused momentarily and said, “It has nothing to do with me.” Then, she walked toward the door..
Jeffrey and the others formed a human barricade, blocking her exit.
“Step aside,” Skylar demanded.
