“How shameless,” chuckled Caleb.
Samuel didn’t think much of Caleb. However, he was terrified by the Gardner family. Thus, he said meekly, “My dad hasn’t said anything wrong. I would’ve readily handed my phone over if it were me.”
Sadie’s face paled.
They were done for.
Without her realizing it, everyone in their family had lost their minds. How could they act as though they were in the right? Yet, she used to think nothing of it and even justified their actions.
Jeffrey ordered, Joe must’ve been the caller. Skylar, take me to him!”
He had been so close. If Joe had let him finish and agreed to his proposal, there would have been hoper
for his company.
It had been a treacherous climb to where he was today. He couldn’t lose it! Not at all!
Skyler scoffed before saying, “Go to sleep, Mr. Williams. Anything is possible in your dreams.”
She then walked downstairs.
Caleb trailed after Skylar to protect her.
Upon seeing Jeffrey go after them, Caleb pointed at them and threatened, “Take another step forward. and I’ll make sure you regret it. If you bully Skylar, you bully me. The Gardner family will not have mercy on
my aggressors.”
His threat succeeded in intimidating them. No one continued following them.
Jeffrey and his men only dared to chase them once they’d left the villa.
At the same time, they saw multiple cars parked in front of their villa.
Many men in black suits got out. All of them were tall and muscular, clearly combat–skilled bodyguards.
Upon seeing Caleb, they addressed him with reverence. They also treated Skylar respectfully.
Upon seeing that, they sucked in a startled breath. Now, it looked like Caleb hadn’t been bragging at all. He was indeed part of the Gardner family.
Why was Skylar so close to the Gardners?
How many things had Skylar been hiding from them?
After a few minutes, the men left the villa. Only then did Jeffrey remark darkly, ‘It looks like our understanding of Skylar is too superficial. We have to meet Joe at all costs and ask him–to save our
company!”
Jeffrey narrowed his eyes. Fury burned within him when he thought of Skylar’s coldness toward him. It

was as though she no longer thought of him as her father.
Samuel’s face hadn’t regained its color. He asked, “The Gardner family wouldn’t have sent someone over to teach me a lesson, would they?”
Only now did fear wash over him.
He had thought that Caleb was only bragging and clung to the hope that Skylar had merely picked someone off the street to put on a show. Who knew that he would turn out to be the real deal?
Peter couldn’t suppress his bubbling anger and scolded, ‘Can’t you think before acting? Now I know why you couldn’t stay in the entertainment industry. Everyone is smearing salt in our wounds and writing exposés about us because you never use that brain of yours when making decisions!”
Kenny felt his heart being crushed. He said, “Skylar is set on ruining our family.”
“Dad, Peter, we need to be prepared. I think Skylar is determined to cause the demise of our family. In addition… she might have said something inappropriate to Joe. If not, Joe wouldn’t have hung up on Dad,” Maisy said with balled fists. She couldn’t help but pin the blame on Skylar.
Kenny paused for a moment. He looked down at Maisy and said, “You.”
“I don’t want to think the worst of Skylar. However… You saw what happened,” Maisy explained with red- rimmed eyes.
Peter told Jeffrey solemnly, “We must prepare ourselves extensively this time. Perhaps we shouldn’t have asked Joe for help. Rather, we should seek out Mrs. Martin Senior. She’s the most important person to Joe. It’ll be easier like that.”
Jeffrey narrowed his eyes and complimented, “That’s smart of you! Get some gifts ready. We’ll visit Mrs. Martin tomorrow!”
