“Skye, please forgive me. I really need you!” Sadie pleaded tearfully.
Skylar remained unmoved. She wasn’t a pushover. She eyed the group coldly. “Caleb, call the police.”
Caleb nodded. “Sure thing!”
“Hold on, Skylar,” Jeffrey interjected. “There’s no need for hostility. We share the Williams blood, after all.
We’re a family, for better or worse.
“We were hoping you could help the family out. Once things are back on track, there’ll always be a place for you at home. We know about you and Joe, by the way.
“That million–dollar monthly allowance must be from him, right? See if he can lend the Williams Group a hand. It’d be a breeze for someone like Joe.”
Caleb was stunned by what he heard. The couple seemed unbelievable. How could this be? Moreover, wasn’t Skylar married?
A sardonic smile played on Skylar’s lips. “Why should I help you?”
It seemed they’d discovered her connection to Joe, confirming her suspicions. Their audacity in demanding her help was astounding.
“We’re family. Helping us is helping yourself, isn’t it?” Peter tried to persuade Skylar. “As long as you help us through this rough patch, you can come and go as you please in this house.
“Even if Joe throws you away someday, this family will always have a place for you. I can even find you a better husband.”
“Skylar, please,” Maisy pleaded, her voice thick with emotion. “Our family is in dire straits. Please, for Mom’s sake. The accident took a toll on her, and she can’t handle another blow.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Kenny couldn’t stomach the sight of Maisy begging. “Peter’s right,” he said sternly. “We are family. You have no choice but to help us weather this storm.”
“Could you stop being so melodramatic? Living off a man’s money every month, how long can that possibly last?” Samuel rolled his eyes in disbelief. He questioned whether Skylar possessed any real abilities beyond pleasing a man.
If Jeffrey and Sadie weren’t present, he definitely would’ve voiced those thoughts. After all, Skylar wasn’t one to shy away from embarrassment, so why should he?
Caleb couldn’t contain his frustration any longer. “Are you all out of your minds? When did Skylar ever need a man to support her? With her talent, a million a month is chump change! You’re all clueless, making yourselves look like fools!”
He couldn’t believe their ignorance. They kept claiming Skylar was family, yet they utterly misunderstood
her.
“You think you know everything? Are you that boy toy of Skylar’s?” Samuel smirked.

Caleb glanced at Skylar. “Can I punch him right now?”
“If you want to punch him, go ahead,” Skylar replied calmly. She knew Caleb had trained in mixed martial
arts, and from their casual conversations, she knew he could handle multiple opponents without a
problem.
Caleb didn’t hesitate. He rolled up his sleeves and delivered a slap across Samuel’s face.
There was a loud smack.
Samuel was left bewildered.
“In all my years, this is the first time someone’s called me a boy toy. You Williamses mean nothing to me. Do you think Joe would lift a finger for you? Dream on!” Caleb fumed. Then, he landed another kick.
Seeing Caleb’s audacious disregard for consequences, Jeffrey and the rest of the family were taken
aback.
They realized Caleb wasn’t just an ordinary worker.
His confidence and disregard suggested he held a unique status within Jipsburg City.
A surge of satisfaction washed over Skylar. She’d wanted to do that to Samuel for a while now.
