Chapter 94
If Gloria hadn’t told her Joe wasn’t as unfriendly as he looked and was actually a nice person, Skylar wouldn’t have offered him a head massage.
Besides, Gloria wished Skylar could help Joe to relieve his headache. That way, she would be more at ease and wouldn’t have to be so concerned about her grandson.
Skylar went upstairs in a huff.
Looking at Skylar going upstairs furiously, Joe massaged his forehead. He wondered if he was overthinking.

At Williams Residence, Jeffrey and Sadie looked slightly grim
“Skylar was too much! How could she do nothing and just let Mr. Ziegler beat them up? Couldn’t she stop him? Kenny and Samuel are her brothers.” Maisy’s eyes reddened. She looked as though she truly felt bad for the brothers.
Kenny and Samuel were deeply moved. It was worth it for them to pamper Maisy since she was young. She was completely different from Skylar.
“Skylar was rude to Dad at Martin Group today. What’s wrong with her?” Maisy continued to add fuel to
the fire.
It would be best if everyone in the family would hate Skylar.
Jeffrey looked sullen and said, “She’s hopeless! It’d be better if we don’t acknowledge her as our daughter!
“She’s still our daughter. Jeff, we should give her a chance if she’s willing to come home and apologize,”
Sadie said.
She added, “The hospital has been calling to inform us they’ve run out of blood. We don’t need her, but Maisy does. Why did she become this cruel? Is she going to sit by and watch while Maisy runs out of
blood?”
Sadie was blaming Skylar for everything.
“Skylar surely hates me and wishes me dead,” Maisy said, her tears threatening to spill.
“I don’t think she’s that cruel. I think you guys have probably misunderstood her relationship with Mr. Ziegler. They don’t seem to be in that kind of filthy relationship,” Kenny said with a frown.
“Now that you’ve mentioned it, I feel the same, too.“–Jeffrey had been mulling over things for a while.
Samuel scoffed. “They hooked up secretly. What can you see from the outside? In our circle, I’ve seen many who regard one another as brothers but end up sleeping with each other’s wives.”
“Your sister is still around. You’d better not spout nonsense, Samuel,” Sadie chided.

Samuel rubbed his nose. “I was just telling the truth. We all know Maisy well. Skylar might have something with another man, but Maisy will never do that.”
“Samuel, thank you for your trust, Dad, Mom, please don’t worry about me.” Maisy looked a little sad.
They were worried about her health.
Seeing how Maisy was concerned about them instead of herself, Sadie felt she knew the daughter she
had raised better.
“Did Mr. Martin mention when he’s marrying you?” Samuel asked as he looked at Maisy.
Samuel disliked Paul. If he were to have a chance to talk to Joe, he’d definitely make him fire Paul.
There was a subtle change in Jeffrey’s expression.
However, Maisy was quite upset. “I didn’t get to talk to Mr. Martin because of Skylar.”
Samuel wanted to probe further but stopped when he saw Jeffrey’s sullen expression. “I have to go to the filming site. It’s so troublesome. The director must be mad if I were to apply for leave.
“I promised to film every scene myself and not use a double when I first joined the cast. If I were to apply for leave, the director would have to look for a double.”
The more he talked about it, the more furious he felt. He wondered why he had a younger sister like Skylar.
Meanwhile, Kenny looked troubled. Some crazy thoughts crossed his mind, and he wondered if they had treated Skylar badly before
