“Don’t worry,” Caleb said confidently. “If they try to cause any trouble, I can call dozens of people here in a
minute.”
With a group message, he could easily summon a show of force. He would love to see if the Williams family dared to act recklessly after that.
Skylar’s appearance stunned the Williams family maids. They rushed to inform the family.
Entering the villa, Skylar saw nearly the entire Williams family walking down the stairs. A laugh bubbled up in her throat. She was amused, not expecting that all of them were waiting for her in a single file.
Their expressions were strange, a mix of uncertainty and awkwardness. They didn’t quite know how to face Skylar anymore.
Skylar was no longer susceptible to coercion nor cared about their opinions like she used to. Joe’s unwavering support had bolstered her confidence, rendering their opinions irrelevant. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“You’re back?” Jeffrey spoke, his voice strained.
He couldn’t help but lament that his least favorite daughter had become Joe’s favorite. If only it had been Maisy, things would be so much easier.
Kenny and Maisy had complex expressions, especially Maisy, who clenched her fits in silent fury. She truly wished Skylar dead.
Peter appeared much more mild–mannered than before, but his insincerity was evident.
Samuel, ever the odd one out, seemed impatient and dismissive, as if Skylar’s visit was an inconvenience.

“Who is he? Why did you bring a stranger home?” Samuel snapped, his irritation evident.
Caleb clenched his fits. He had an urge to punch Samuel.
Skylar’s voice turned cold. “He’s my colleague. Didn’t you ask me to visit Mrs. Williams? Are you going to let me see her or not?”
“Skylar, Mom’s sleeping right now. Why don’t we sit down and chat for a bit? It’s been a while since you’ve been back. We really miss you,” Maisy said sweetly.
Maisy couldn’t help but steal glances at Caleb. He seemed a few years younger than her and Skylar. He

seemed like a refreshing change from the older men she usually dated. A pang of envy shot through her. Skylar always seemed to attract the best men, leaving her with the likes of Christopher.
She regretted getting entangled with Christopher.
“Yeah, let’s sit down and have a family chat. You’ve been out of touch since you moved out, and your mother and I have been worried about you,” Jeffrey said with a fatherly attitude.
Jeffrey’s complete turnaround was interesting. Their behavior hinted at something more than just wanting Skylar to quit her job for Sadie. There was more to it.
Meanwhile, Caleb was speechless, dumbfounded by the Williams family’s audacity.
