Chapter 66


    “If only Harvey wasn’t about to have his college entrance exams. I would have gotten him to join


    us,”


    Steven said.


    He looked at Skr and realized how much she had grown. Suddenly, he was filled with a sense of


    pride.


    He was also reminded of his youngest brother.


    Skr sat down. “His college entrance exams will end in a month. Our entire family should go on a


    holiday. I’ve earned some money from restoring antique art recently. I’ll be in charge of our family


    vacation this time.”


    “Did you learn how to restore antique paintings from Grandma Vi?” Steven asked. He wasn’t


    surprised.


    When they were in the countryside, many of their neighbors said that Skr often read books at


    Vi’s house. They weren’t sure if she even understood what was written in the books.


    He had been to Vi’s home and seen that she would sometimes work with some broken porcin


    pieces.


    When he went over again the next time, some of those broken pieces were restored into various


    antique porcin.


    Furthermore, Vi was skilled at drawing. Even though he left the countryside earlier to pursue his


    high school studies, he could tell that she wasn’t an average elderly woman living in the


    countryside.


    That said, for some reason, he had never asked Skr what she learned from Vi.


    None of their neighbors had questioned, either.


    It was erhaps due to the air of intimidation around Vi. No one would ask about anything she


    wasn’t willing to discuss.


    By the looks of it, Vi might have passed her skills down to Skr,


    “Yeah, Grandma Vi taught me a lot of things. I was just unable to look for restoration work


    previously. Not long ago, Grandma Vi wrote me a letter. She told me that I could start doing


    restoration work on vintage items.” Skr shared openly.


    Steven nodded in delight. “You’ve grown up, Skye.


    “How have you been, Steven? I heard about someone stealing your research paper when we spoke


    on the phone before. Has this been resolved?” Skr asked, concerned.


    Steven’s eyes quivered. “It has. Don’t worry.”


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Skr noticed the change in Steven’s gaze. She remained calm and smiled. “This barbecue


    restaurant is good. They grilled the meat really well.”


    Steven gazed at Skr with a loving and gentle look in his eyes.


    Not long after, only a few meat skewers were left on the table.


    Skr rubbed her belly andmented, “I’m stuffed.”


    It was indeed more freeing to dine with family. She didn’t have to watch her table manners when


    she ate. “I’m really full too. Here, have some fruit juice.” Steven offered as he handed her a ss of


    juice.


    With a few gulps, Skr drank half a ss of fruit juice. The greasiness in her mouth melted away


    with the juice.


    Skr was satiated. She smiled at Steven and asked, “Did you have something to ask me,


    Steven?”


    Steven and Skr had grown up together. They knew each other very well. She had realized his


    hesitation when she arrived at dinner earlier.


    Stevenughed. “You’ve always been quick–witted. There’s really not much that I can hide from


    you. I do have something I wanted to ask you.”


    “Sure. Go ahead.”


    Steven stayed quiet for a moment before saying. “This morning, they still had the upper hand over


    the issue between you, Maisy, and Christopher. And they were in control of the online sentiments.


    “After that, everything changed in just an hour. Many verified ounts showed up. If not for


    someone paying them heftily, they would’ve never voiced out their opinions so easily. Tell me, Skye,


    who’s helping you?”


    Skr was stunned. “I didn’t ask anyone for help.”


    She was in front of the police station this morning when she found out that things had taken a turn


    for the bette At that time, she did feel that it was rather odd.


    However, the call from Natalie had interrupted her thoughts. She hadn’t thought too much about it


    after that.


    “You didn’t ask anyone for help?” That didn’t make Steven feel relieved. In fact, his heart felt even


    heavier. Not only did Skr have a lot on her mindtely, but she might’ve alsoe across some


    problems.


    Skr shook her head. “I didn’t.”


    Steven took a deep breath silently. Maybe he was the one overthinking it. He had watched Skr


    grow up. He knew very well what her personality was like.


    She was kind yet strong. She wouldn’t be defeated by challenges so easily, and she wouldn’t do


    anything that would cost her personal life.


    might’ve been the Williamses‘ businesspetitor who wanted to seize this opportunity to subdue


    them.” Steven guessed.


    However, for Skr, someone else came to mind.


    Could it have been Joe?


    But she quickly dismissed that thought.


    Joe was wary of her in the first ce. He didn’t even have a good impression of her. If anything


    were to happen to her, it would be a good opportunity for him to dere to Gloria that she


    didn’t deserve to be her granddaughter–inw.
