Christopher only learned about Skylar’s post because Maisy had texted him.
He hadn’t noticed that Skylar had posted at first because he’d assumed she was still upset at him. So, he only realized he was doomed when he saw the photo she’d posted.
She had found out about him and Maisy!
Christopher felt an unprecedented fear looming in his chest. If Skylar had posted it to her social media, it meant that she was determined to cut ties with him for good.
He had always thought that he’d never liked Skylar that much. Yet, at that moment, he realized how much he couldn’t accept her breaking up with him.
After restoring antiques for an entire afternoon, Skylar washed her hands and left the workspace to grab lunch. She only reached for her phone after finishing her meal.
First, she returned Janine’s, Steven’s, and Charles‘ phone calls and told them not to worry.
That was when she noticed her best friend, Natalie Jakeman, had sent her several messages.
Natalie had been Skylar’s coursemate from college, so they were close friends. However, Natalie had gotten married after graduating. She had been a devoted housewife to her husband for the past six
months.
Skylar returned Natalie’s call.
The phone briefly rang before Natalie answered. “What on earth is going on, Skye?” she asked.
Skylar didn’t give too many details. She merely relayed how Christopher had cheated on her with Maisy.
Natalie knew who Maisy was. In Skylar’s previous life, Natalie hadn’t in Jipsburg City when Skylar had gotten into trouble.
When Natalie had returned and tried to visit Skylar, she’d learned that the Williams family had turned
Skylar away.
“Way to go, Skye! Great job breaking up with him! He never gave me a good impression. Say, I’ll introduce you to some guys one of these days. I bet they’ll definitely be miles better than him!” Natalie assured her.
She knew Skylar best, so she could tell Skylar was in a good state after hearing the latter’s voice on the call.
It impressed her that Skylar could let go of the relationship when it was necessary. It was just as she had expected of her best friend.
Skylar ended the call after exchanging a few more words with Natalle. Then, she checked on the other unariswered calls.

Samuel had called her several times. Christopher and Amelia had also tried calling her. Even Skylar’s high. school friends had reached out on social media to ask what was going on.
Skylar didn’t answer any of them, nor did she think it was necessary to respond.
She didn’t think those people genuinely cared about her, save for her family and Natalie. Many only texted her because they were eager to watch the drama unfold.
After being silent for a few seconds, Skylar returned Samuel’s calls.
The latter was quick to answer. “Skye, delete your post at once. I want you to post a new update, saying you were having a bad day and only posted that photoshopped picture because you were emotional. I also expect you to apologize to Maisy in your update.”
Samuel sounded stern. It was as if he was ordering Skylar to do it.
“Who told you the picture was photoshopped?” Skylar sneered.
She had spent her past life trying hard to please the three Williams brothers, just like she’d tried to win over Sadie. Alas, her sincere efforts had been a waste in the end.
She wondered if the Williamses were all lunatics for bossing her around a lot.
“It’s not photoshopped? Does that mean it’s real? Why would Maisy get with your boyfriend? It’s fine if you’re jealous, but you shouldn’t cross the line!
“Your boyfriend’s poor and only has good looks to make up for it! Maisy would never be interested in him!” Samuel glanced at Maisy, whose eyes were on him.
He hinted for her not to panic. He refused to believe Skylar, no matter how she tried to explain things.
Kenny reached out, asking Samuel to pass him the phone, which he did…
“You were being too brash and acted without any consideration today! How dare you slander Maisy with a randomly photoshopped picture?
“Do you seriously think we’d believe you when you and Christopher previously lived together but later got into a big fight over money? If you don’t want to make things bigger and uglier, I suggest you do as Samuel says now!” he barked.
“You
and your family are lunatics. I don’t care if you guys believe me, but is Maisy not feeling guilty about her actions?
“Well, I was just thinking about how I hadn’t made a big enough deal. Go ahead and call the police, then. It’ll save me the time of having to do it.” Skylar seethed.
