Chapter 184


    The four of them were escorted out of the Gardner Group building.


    The security captain even told them threateningly not to con:e back. They were warned that if they


    were seen at the entrance again, the security would not hesitate to call the police.


    If news about such an incident ended up in the media, the Williams family would be utterly


    disgraced in Jipsburg.


    Thus, they returned to the car in embarrassment.


    Sitting in the driver’s seat, Peter forcefully pounded the steering wheel twice. He was used to having


    his way all these years. Yet, he had suffered humiliation at every turntely. Today, even a security


    captain could threaten him to his facel

    “What’s wrong with those people? I’ve already said everything so clearly, but they still defend


    Skr. She must have been buttering them up,” Maisyined angrily.


    Because of her intense resentment, she momentarily forgot to conceal her thoughts.


    Samuel saw the astonishing hatred in Maisy’s eyes and froze. He thought she had always been


    kind and timid. However, she looked like she could kill Skr now with that twisted expression of


    hers.


    “It’s no use trying to get anything out of Skr. Let’s get someone else to investigate, Kenny said,


    sighing


    helplessly.


    He then nced at the time and said, “I have to go to work now. I’ll go talk to Steven againter and


    see if


    he knows anything.”


    “I know someone who might know something. I’ll go find her.” Maisy suddenly thought of Annie.


    Thest time they met, Annie had asked her all sorts of questions about Skr. Back then, she


    hadn’t thought much of it. Reflecting on it now, Maisy believed that Annie must know who was


    supporting Skr


    financially.


    Otherwise, why would she waste her time asking about Skr?


    She hadn’t thought about it before, but now she realized that Annie might have manipted her. Of


    course, she wouldn’t simply keep quiet and be a pawn to someone else.


    Caleb returned home after being discharged from the hospital. Hey on the bedzily, watching TV


    or ying on his phone. Other than that, he would read the thick books his grandfather threw at him


    from time to time. asionally, some tutors came over to give him lessons.


    It was very boring and mundane to him.


    He wanted to see Skr, but he couldn’t ask her toe to his house. Skr still didn’t know he


    was Alexander’s grandson.


    2/2


    He had never missed or liked a girl this much before.


    Feeling bored, he called Alexander. “Grandpa, what’s Skr busy with right now? Did you give her


    a lot of work to do? She’s so busy that she isn’t replying to my WhatsApp messages!”


    Alexander frowned and replied. “You’re not good enough for Skr. Stop daydreaming about dating


    her, and don’t bother her. Look at those superficial WhatsApp messages you sent. Skr doesn’t


    have time to look at her phone when she’s working. You two are individuals from different worlds.


    Don’t force it.”


    “Are you really my grandpa? Have you been invaded and reced by a body snatcher? I thought


    you wanted Sr to be your granddaughter–inw! I’ve just undergone a surgery. It’s not like I’m


    crippled for life. Why do you have to beat me while I’m down?”


    Caleb was so angry that he wanted to jump out of bed and confront his grandfather. He wanted to


    go


    straight to his grandfather to ask him what was the matter with him. Why would he discourage his


    grandson so readily?


    This has nothing to do with whether I’m your grandfather. You’d better get rid of any improper


    thoughts early on it’s impossible for you and Skr to get together,” Alexander stated sternly and


    hung up.


    Celeb grimed his teeth in anger. Why did it feel like Alexander had be even more disdainful of


    him than before?


    Gancing at the book beside him, he couldn’t help but open it with clenched teeth.


    He would be worthy of Skr


    After work, Skr went to Pearlhall Residence first. She had dinner with Gloria before returning to


    Gxy


    There she received a WhatsApp message from Joe that he would be on a business trip for the next


    two


    days


    Recalling the embarrassing incident earlier that morning. Skr breathed a sigh of relief. She was


    grateful that she didn’t have to face him that day


    She texted back, “Okay. Don’t worry about Grandma. I’ll visit her these two days.”


    Joe replied, “Sure. Please don’t drink with anyone these two days.”


    Skr’s face flushed red when she saw the word “drink“.


    She felt mortified as she let out a soundless scream of anguish in her heart. Suddenly, she felt like


    Joe had some sort of leverage over her.
