Chapter 131
“Don’t you trust what I said anymore? You’re misunderstanding Maisy. Maisy is obedient and
sensible. She would never date Christopher.
“Your boyfriend is too ambitious, always aiming for something too far out of reach. If you someone,
me yourself for having poor judgment and choosing a boyfriend who is fickle.”
Sadie almost instinctively defended Maisy.

prioritized Maisy. But after speaking, she suddenly had
doubts. It seemed she had never considered how Skr might feel.
Yet another voice emerged, asserting that if Maisy wasn’t wrong, then it must be Skr’s fault.
Someone had to pay for their mistakes.
Skr’s gaze was cold as she looked at Sadie. Her gaze was deep and emotionless, as if she could
see through the malice in Sadie’s nature.
“Mom, let’s not talk about this today.” Peter felt the conversation was straying further off course.
There would be plenty of time in the future to make Skr feel at home in the Williams family.
“Sure, we’ve had our fair share of misunderstandings. But hey, we’re family, right? At the end of the
day,
that’s what matters most.
could “We have some tough times ahead, and we must stick together to ovee them. The family
really use your help right now, and if you pitch in, we’ll all acknowledge you,” Peter offered, tempting
Skr with a hint of recognition and belonging.
Previously, Skr had tried to please them, but now she adopted an air of indifference. Yet, it was
all a n to draw their concern. It was time for them to indulge her.
Jeffrey took a deep breath and softened his tone. He didn’t hold onto the harsh words Skr had
just
spoken.
“We’re family,” he said. “No matter what you’ve done wrong, we’ll forgive you. I know you’re angry
because we didn’t stand up for you.”
He added, “That was because you smeared Maisy on social media. I had already nned your way
out, to send you abroad for a few years. When youe back after a few years, you can work at
Williams Group.”
Skr had never seen them submit before, especially not Jeffrey and Peter. The two were father
and son, who had always looked at her with the same sarcastic eyes.
Now, they looked the same. It seemed prideful yet benevolent, as if saying, “Look! We are giving
you a chance. Now cherish it.”
She felt that it wasughable because she wanted to know their motives. Without benefits or
motives, neither of them would likely lower their heads.
“Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?” she asked.

Jeffrey’s eyes lit up as he said, “Let your brother talk to you about it.”
“I know you know Paul well, and you two must have a good rtionship with him. Otherwise, he
wouldn’t have stood up for you,” Peter began.
He added in a soft tone, “When a man stands up for a woman, it usually means he is interested in
her. Paul definitely likes you.
“If you two are in a rtionship, then it would be easy. Just give him a call and ask him to persuade
Mr. Martin to continue coborating with the Williams family.”
“If you’re not in a rtionship, then agree to date him and try to persuade Mr. Martin.”
Skr smirked. “Are you suggesting I sell myself off to Paul?”

“Don’t put it so crudely. I’ve met Paul before. He’s a capable young man. As Mr. Martin’s assistant,
he surely has a promising future. We’re thinking of your best interest.” Sadie sounded somewhat
guilty.
Kenny kept his head down, not sure what to think. He nced up when he heard Sadie’s words.
“If youpared him to Christopher, Paul is certainly better than him, right?” Samuel was irritated
by Skr’s ingratitude.
“Yes, Paul seems like a nice guy,” Maisy quickly added.
Trading Skr for the Williams family’s future was worth it. If it meant sending Skr to have sex
with
else. Joe, she might not agree out of jealousy, but she would support sending Skr to anyone
Skr nced at them and slowly said, “Unfortunately, Paul doesn’t like me.”
“He doesn’t like you? You are beautiful. Just be a bit more proactive, and he’ll surely like you. If not,
I’ll find a way to get you into a rtionship with him,” Peter said.
