Chapter 86
Christopher was frantically job hunting when he saw Maisy’s message.
He immediately replied, “No way. She’s not the type to cheat. She wouldn’t betray me like that.”
He and Skylar had been together for over seven years, from high school to that moment. He never once thought she would betray him.
But since he met Skylar yesterday, his heart had been pounding with unexplainable anxiety. It felt like he was truly about to lose her.
However, Skylar’s perspective was limited to that extent. The highest she could reach was Paul.
“Mr. Ziegler? Martin Group’s CEO’s assistant?” Christopher’s face stiffened instantly.
“Yeah, him. He might not be on Mr. Martin’s level, but he’s hot and quite capable. You need to figure something out. Even my dad supports Skylar being with Mr. Ziegler now, even if she’s just his sugar baby.”
The more Maisy spoke, the more frustrated she felt. Jeffrey’s attitude just now was very different from before.
Christopher suddenly felt like a piece of his heart was missing. “No, she’s just mad at me. Do you know where she works? Could she be doing this at someone else’s request? She would never be someone’s sugar baby.”
In their seven years together, Skylar and Christopher had never slept together. They were waiting for the day they got married.
Sometimes, he felt she was too conservative. But other times, he thought her conservatism was a good thing. So, how could she possibly be someone’s sugar baby?
“Why are you still deluding yourself? Think about it yourself!” Maisy snapped before hanging up.
Before, she thought stealing Christopher from Skylar could prove that she was better than Skylar. But now, she was finding Christopher quite annoying.
Remembering Joe’s indifference toward her, she felt even more annoyed. It must be because Skylar had influenced Paul against her.
Fearing the worst, Christopher began frantically calling and texting Skylar, but to no avail,
He was extremely anxious. He even tried calling Natalie, but she didn’t answer.
Finally, he called Amelia. “Mom, can you call Skylar’s adoptive mother to ask about her? Maisy just told me Skylar might be someone’s sugar baby. She probably broke up with me because she thought I was poor. I can’t lose Skylar now.”
Upon hearing that, Amelia angrily called Janine.
Janine happened to be home that day. While she was busy cleaning, she received Amelia’s call.
Frowning, she wondered why Amelia was meddling in the kids‘ affairs.
“Yes, Amelia?” Janine asked.
Amelia huffed. “Did you know Skye is a sugar baby now? She broke up with my son because of that.”
She felt that if anyone was going to initiate a breakup, it should’ve been Christopher.
Skylar used to adore Christopher and tried so hard to please him. How dare she betray him?
Janine’s face turned cold. “I know Skye, and you know Chris. He wronged Skye first. Skye has been good to you these past few years. If you have any conscience, you wouldn’t have made this call.”
“I didn’t ask her to be nice to me. She did that on her own and clung to my son. If it weren’t for her, Chris could’ve found someone that’d suit him better. Janine, you just coast on your looks and being a tramp. Look at Skylar now. She’s turning into a mess just like you!” Amelia lashed out.
*One day, both you and your son will regret this! Karma will surely come back to haunt you for insulting and hurting Skye today!” Janine’s hands trembled with anger.
The thought of Skylar’s pain lingered even after she hung up the phone, leaving her eyes filled with tears. She felt so sorry for Skylar.
