Skylar asked with a smile. “Are you absolutely sure you didn’t hurt me in any way?”
Just then, Caleb’s phone rang unexpectedly. Initially, he was reluctant to answer, but he saw it was John,
he picked it up. “Uncle John, what’s up?”
“When are you coming home?” John inquired.
“I’m with Skylar sorting some things out today. We’re planning to have dinner together afterward. I’ll head
home after that. I’m not a kid anymore. Don’t you worry.”
Caleb rolled his eyes internally. He was annoyed by his parents and John, who treated him like a child.
Suddenly, he recalled something and added, “By the way, Uncle John, do you know about the Williams. family? Someone from there just threatened me earlier. He said he wanted to kill me.
“Although I’m not the only heir of the Gardners, I’m still a part of the Gardner family, right? My parents aren’t in Jipsburg, so could you help me handle this?”
Caleb was never one to shy away from trouble.
“The Williams family? Skylar’s biological parents‘ family? Are they causing trouble for you and Skylar?” John’s voice turned icy.
Caleb lightly acknowledged. “Yeah, that’s right.”
“Wait a moment. Take care of Skylar,” John said abruptly before hanging up.
The mention of the Gardner family and Caleb’s assertive tone struck fear into the members of the
Williams family.
The Gardners…
They wondered if it could be the Gardners they had imagined.
“I heard Mr. Gardner Senior has a grandson named Caleb. Could it be…” Maisy’s eyes widened incredulously as she spoke.
“Yeah, that’s me,” Caleb confirmed outright.
Skylar hadn’t expected John to call at this moment. That phone call shook Jeffrey and the others to the core. They always bullied the weak and feared the strong
*Just now was a misunderstanding… Peter attempted to salvage the situation.
He never imagined that Skylar’s/colleague was Alexander’s grandson.
If he had known earlier, Samuel wouldn’t dare say such crazy things. Samuel was completely stunned. How could you be Mr. Gardner Senior’s grandson?”
Samuel wondered how Alexa grandson could be friends with Skylar. Skylar had grown up in the
countryside. She was crude and ignorant.

It was hard for him to believe that Caleb would be friends with Skylar. He couldn’t understand it.
“If I’m not his grandson, are you? With your behavior, my grandpa wouldn’t even like you.” Caleb smirked and sneered unapologetically.
Then he looked at Skylar. “You don’t even share the same surname. How can they be so shameless as t claim they’re your family? If your family behaves like this, you should leave as soon as possible.”
Skylar smiled and nodded seriously. “You’re right. I’m lucky to have left early.”
“Let’s go,” Skylar said, feeling there was no need to wait any longer.
Caleb glanced at Samuel and said, “I’ll wait for you to kill me.”
“Wait!” Kenny hurriedly called out.
Skylar looked at Kenny.

Kenny anxiously said, “Could you please explain to him? It was a misunderstanding earlier. If we had known he was Mr. Gardner Senior’s grandson, Samuel wouldn’t have acted, and we wouldn’t have said
those things.
“Please tell him not to hold a grudge against us for this. Also, can you find Joe and ask him to help us?”
“Why should I?‘ Skylar retorted.
Caleb clicked his tongue. “You’re all idiots, but I’m not! That is not a misunderstanding. Don’t block the way. Move aside.”
With that, Caleb pushed Kenny aside. No one dared to stand in his way anymore.
Suddenly, Jeffrey’s voice boomed. “Because I’m your dad! He’s your brother!”
He was utterly displeased. He turned to Sadie and said, “Cat got your tongue?”
Sadie met Jeffrey’s fierce gaze with a wry smile. “Back then, you didn’t want Skylar to change her last
name, fearing she’d get a share of our estate. Now you’re claiming that you’re her dad, and I’m her mom. How could she possibly believe that?”
