Paul was frightened. He quickly responded, “Got it, Mr. Martin!”
Jacky looked at Paul with a half–smile. “I haven’t seen you for a few days and you’ve become more timid? You weren’t injured after that accident, but did it make you a coward?”
“Shut up!” Paul hissed.
Jacky always launched unexpected attacks at others. Of all the people in Jipsburg City, the person Paul hated the most was Jacky, who was currently smiling at him perfunctorily.
Joe was used to seeing them bickering. He took out a cigarette and took his time smoking it.
He’d wanted to help Skylar today because he didn’t want this to affect Gloria. It was a pity that Skylar hadn’t asked him for help.
He decided to wait and see.
The traffic in Jipsburg City was still quite heavy at around 7:00 pm. Skylar could have arrived at the
Yancey Residence in half an hour, but she took 45 minutes instead.
When she entered the house, she spotted three people sitting on the couch in the living room. They were waiting for her.
“Skye!” Janine, Charles, and Steven called out to her in unison as they shot to their feet.
After having dinner earlier, the trio had been sitting on the couch, browsing through their own phones.
There was much discussion going on on the internet about Skylar.
These people were saying all sorts of nasty things about her. The trio were so mad that they wished that
they could track down all these people who were talking rubbish.
What did they know? What right did they have to diss Skylar?
Did the Williamses have any conscience? They had hurt Skylar against their conscience. Where was their
bottom line?
Even if the Williamses didn’t care about Skylar, they did! They empathized with her.
As Skylar looked at them, she felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears. She knew that
all of them would always be there to face her troubles with her.
“Hi, Mom. Hi, Steven and Charles.”
“I know about everything, Skye. Janine sighed. “Christopher will face the consequences of his actions in the future. How could he treat you like that?” Janine wiped the tears off her face.
Earlier, Janine had even told herself not to cry. In the end, it tugged at her heartstrings when she thought about how Skylar had been betrayed.

Skylar walked over and gave Janine a hug. “Don’t cry, Mom. I found out about these a long time ago. It’s not worth it to shed tears over a jerk. I have already learned to let things go. These things can’t hurt me.”
Steven and Charles were standing by the side. Hearing such words made them feel uneasy.
They kept having the feeling that Skylar was indeed keeping some things to herself. She was afraid that they would be worried about her.
Previously, when Skylar had gone back to the Williamses, they had assumed that she would be treated the same way she had been in their house. They had thought that she would be cared for by the
Williamses.
If it hadn’t been for these destructive things that the Williams family was doing toward her, they wouldn’t
have known.
Just look at what had come out of it.
They had no idea what Skylar experienced when she was with the Williamses.
stular consoled Janine before the latter left to go to bed.
Then, she began discussing the current situation with Steven and Charles.
“Other than the photos that were posted, I have some videos too. They can all prove that Christopher had an affair with Maisy. I’ll reveal the videos tomorrow morning.”
Then, she showed them the videos that she obtained from the mall’s surveillance footage. The videos were very clear.
When Steven and Charles watched the video, their tense expressions eased up.
“The Williamses… They’re really- Charles had intended to cuss, but he stopped himself quickly enough.
After all, they were Skylar’s biological family. She must be feeling terrible on the inside. Steven looked at Charles. He frowned and asked, “Were you ill–treated by the Williamses, Skye?”
