Chapter 188


    “Bullshit! The way your family does business is immoral, which is in tandem with your unsavory


    characters. It’s no surprise that you’ll go bankrupt sooner orter. You’re just trying to pin the me


    on Skr for your own faults.”


    Steven was usually soft–spoken. However, for shameless people like Kenny and his family, he


    didn’t see the need to be cordial toward them. They didn’t deserve it.


    He had heard from Charles about how Kenny and Samuel had treated Skr. They had been so


    despicable that it made Steven’s blood boil.


    Kenny was displeased but also embarrassed at being called out by Steven. “We’re not pinning the


    me on her. Skr and her boyfriend broke up because she found a better option.”


    Steven didn’t understand how Kenny could be so foolish. “Has your whole family been brainwashed


    by Maisy? What did she use to brainwash you guys so thoroughly that you can’t think independently


    anymore?

    “Even if Skr did get someone to deal with you, it’s because you pushed her to it. Don’te to


    me for anything about Skye in the future. I will never help you guys!”


    He couldn’t help but wonder what Skr had experienced in the Williams family. The Williams


    family wouldn’t be hounding her like this if there weren’t any suspicious signs. Who exactly did


    Skr marry?


    Steven decided that he would have to ask Skr about it again. He wouldn’t let anyone bully her


    again. What happened with Christopher was more than enough; there must not be a repeat of that.


    Steven pushed Kenny away and walked to somewhere with no one around. He was about to call


    Skr when he received a message from her.


    “Hey, Steven. When are you free? My husband will be back from his business trip when you’re not


    so busy with work. I’ll arrange for you two to meet.


    “Don’t worry about me. I’ve thought this through. Once bitten, twice shy. I won’t let myself be fooled


    again.”


    Steven’s tense emotions rxed a bit upon reading this message. He reminded himself not to be


    swayed by Kenny–he should trust Skr.


    After his confrontation with Kenny, Steven returned to theboratory. He stared nkly at the


    instruments before him but couldn’t focus. He sent another WhatsApp message to Skr. Yet, there


    was only silence


    from the other end.


    Peter mentioned the current situation of the Williams Group in the family group chat. All the troubles


    they faced stemmed from the Martin Group attacking their business.


    How did Skr get involved with the Martin Group? If it wasn’t Paul whom she was involved with,


    then who else could it be?


    Chapt


    Now that he carefully thought about it, it was as Steven had said. Why were they so quick to


    assume that Skr was pulling strings behind the scenes and not that they were genuinely in


    trouble because of their


    actions?


    The Williams Group had expanded by leaps and bounds in recent years. Perhaps they had done


    something that displeased the Martin Group in some way?


    Kenny took a deep breath. He had just sent his thoughts to the group chat when Samuel and Peter


    opposed and questioned him. Even Jeffreymented that it was impossible. They all insisted that


    Skr had something to do with it.


    They went on to say that Skr wanted their approval so that she could settle down with their family


    and in Jipsburg. That was why she pulled all those tricks.


    Now, Kenny hoped it was indeed Skr who was behind everything. If that were the case, perhaps


    there was still room for a turnaround.


    Today, the painting that needed to be restored was brought before Skr. Alexander was also there


    to inspect it.


    He spoke to Frank Doherty, who was beside him, as he examined the painting. “This painting looks


    even more tattered in real life than in the photos. It really tests the skills of the restorer.”


    When he was younger, he would feel intimidated when he received such a damaged and ancient


    painting because restoring it would be very challenging. If one didn’t do it well, all previous efforts


    would be in vain. It required a lot of patience.


    Frank had a solemn expression. “This is a painting left by my ancestors. It’s very precious and


    meaningful to me. Unfortunately, I didn’t store it properly and identally damaged it.


    “When I discovered the extent of the damage, it had already be like this. Money is not an


    issue. I will pay double as long as it can be restored.”


    It was evident that the painting was way more important than money to Frank.
