Chapter 127


    “How could this happen? I was under the impression that Joe and Maisy were in a rtionship,”


    Samuel voiced his disappointment.


    “Let’s drop it,” Jeffrey interjected. He was clearly annoyed.


    Maisy had confided in some friends about her intentions to marry Joe. It led to one of them sharing


    a photograph in their group chat.


    The photograph captured Joe and Annie at John’s engagement party.


    They hadn’t received an invitation to John’s engagement celebration.


    This exclusion stemmed from the Williams family’s inability to prate the social circles to which


    John and Joe belonged.


    Maisy was mortified by this.


    “Where’s Skr? It’s already past six, and she’s still not back,” Samuel remarked irritably.


    There was a heavy air of gloom over the bedroom.


    Skr had just returned to Williams Residence. It was a little over a month since she had moved


    out.


    It felt surreal, like a dream.


    The housekeepers, who were fond of Skr, greeted her quietly upon her arrival. One of them


    whispered, ” Ms. Williams, your parents are upstairs. You’re all family here. If you just acknowledge


    your mistake, I’m


    sure they won’t be hard on you.”


    Skr was favored by the Williams family housekeeperspared to Maisy, mainly because she


    treated


    them with respect and never acted superior.


    Without saying much, Skr responded, “I’ll go up and check on them.”


    On her way upstairs, she turned on the voice recorder hidden in her bag


    Reaching the door of Sadie’s bedroom, she overheard Samuel’s criticism toward her. “She doesn’t


    act like we’re family. If she cared, knowing Mom is ill, she’d be worried, concerned, and definitely


    would have


    visited.”


    Skr inwardly scoffed. In her previous life, an incident left Sadie paraplegic. None of them had


    shown her any concern.

    They wouldin about the smell whenever they approached her room and swiftly leave.


    “Do you even consider me part of this family?” Skr stood defiantly at the door as she was


    unwilling to step inside. Her biting, sarcastic tone startled everyone. They immediately turned


    towards her.


    “So, I thought you’d never return.” Samuel sneered.


    “Wasn’t it you who had my mom call me, desperately trying to bring me back? If you hadn’t reached


    out to


    her, do you think I’d have wanted to set foot in this horse? Skr retorted with a smirk.


    Sadie felt a pang of confusion and dismay at how Skr wasn’t referring to her as “Mom”


    “Why is Skr being so aggressive toward us? she wondered silently


    “Skr, please don’t say that. It really upsets Mom and Dad, Maisy pleaded gently.


    Witnessing the contrast between Maisy and Skr, Samuel found Skr even more displeasing.


    Remember to call the right person mom, and don’t forget who your real mother is ”


    “Samuel, most people use their brains to discern right from wrong. Are yours just for maintaining


    double standards? Your precious sister calls someone else mom, did she forget who her real


    mother is too?”


    Skr shot back.


    Samuel was left speechless.


    Enraged by theparison, Maisy eximed, “It’s not the same! How can your foster mom even


    “Oh, they can’t bepared. The shamelessness alone sets them apart. My mom is beyond


    comparison with her gentle and understanding nature,” Skr retorted with a cold scoff.
