Chapter 421
The once hostile relationship between Skylar and her family seemed to have vanished. In its place, an uneasy truce emerged. The Williamses were truly shameless.
“I don’t have time for small talk. Since this visit is untimely, I’ll take my leave,” Skylar stated coldly. She had no patience for their idle chat.
Seeing her ready to leave, Samuel hurriedly blocked her path. Skylar’s expression hardened. “Move aside.”
Samuel looked at Skylar’s cold indifference. He felt a sudden heaviness in his heart. It seemed she truly didn’t care about him anymore.
“Mom’s been waiting for you. She just fell asleep from exhaustion. Are you so indifferent that you can’t spare 10 or 20 minutes?”
Skylar used to wait for hours, but those days were over.
“I’ll go get Mom,” Peter said coldly. He glared at Skylar. It seemed Sadie was right. Skylar clearly wanted nothing to do with them. Now that Joe was backing her, they were no longer important.
Jeffrey frowned, attempting to mask his irritation. “Skylar, I am your father. You have to acknowledge
that. As your father, I’m asking you to stay and talk. Is that too much to ask?”
Caleb scoffed. “Cut the act. Do you think we’re fools? We see what you’re all up to.”
They must have discovered something and now want to use Skylar. Perhaps desensitized by their past
behavior, they continued to act smug, especially Samuel. He was clearly out of his mind.
“You’re just a colleague. This is our family matter. It’s best that you stay out of it,” Kenny snapped, directing his ire at Caleb.
Kenny found Caleb incredulous. He was merely Skylar’s colleague, yet he dared to mock them. He was a subordinate who had forgotten his place.
Samuel added, displeasure evident, “Skylar, tell your colleague to leave. Family gatherings are no place
for outsiders. It’s not a comedy show for their amusement.”

Skylar’s voice was devoid of emotion. “We were never a family. But if you could ntertain him with your
theatrics, then consider it a good deed done.”
Caleb chuckled, further darkening Samuel’s mood. The latter remarked, “Skylar, don’t push it. Further
tension won’t help anyone.”
“Enough! Samuel, shut up!” Jeffrey immediately scolded. He could see that Skylar no longer felt any familial connection to them.
It was like she had become a different person. Inexplicably, a pang of sadness flickered within him.
Maisy and Kenny exchanged a worried glance. Though unhappy, they knew better than to argue. Skylar, catching their exchange, decided to address the elephant in the room.
“My friend saw Kenny and Maisy kissing in a car. Congratulations! You Williamses can prepare for a
wedding soon.”
Chaos erupted. Maisy and Kenny were speechless. Jeffrey’s eyes widened as he turned his sharp gaze on
them.
“How…. How did you know?” Samuel asked in shock.
Kenny and Maisy initially planned to deny it. But after seeing Samuel’s reaction, they swallowed their
words.
“So, you knew too?” Jeffrey’s face turned ashen as he glared at Samuel.
Samuel realized his blunder. “I… I only found out a couple of days ago.”
The revelation left Kenny gasping and Maisy biting her lip.
“Quite the spectacle, isn’t it?” Caleb smirked, folding his arms. “The rumors are true, the Williams family is a real circus.” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
If he hadn’t come along, the Williams family would surely have ganged up on Skylar, given their shamelessness.
Just then, Peter appeared at the top of the stairs, witnessing the commotion. His gaze darkened as he glared at Kenny and Maisy. Finally, he turned to Skylar. “Mom’s awake. Come see her.”
