Chapter 280


    In the evening, Kenny returned to the Williamses‘ vi.


    During this time, Jeffrey and Peter practically lived at thepany. Samuel rarely came back as he


    was busy with filming. Thus, only Kenny, Sadie, and Maisy were at


    home.


    Sadie and Maisy were having dinner. Seeing Kenny had returned, Sadie said weakly,”


    Come and have dinner.”


    Maisy had lost her appetite. For thest few days, the meals at home were nd,


    with only a few dishes served.


    She looked at Kenny as he entered.


    Their eyes met briefly before Maisy quickly averted her gaze. It seemed like she was shy upon


    seeing him.


    Noticing her reaction, Kenny felt his spirits lift. No matter how many people at the office distanced


    themselves from him, Maisy would remain by his side.


    He smiled and walked over.


    During the meal, Kenny and Miasy exchanged furtive nces. It was as if they were silently sending


    secret signals to each other.


    Preupied with her thoughts, Sadie waspletely unaware of the meaningful


    looks the two exchanged.


    It was not until they were almost finished eating that she spoke up. “I heard from a


    friend today that Skr joined Mr. Gardner Senior’s team without anyone’s help.


    “He’s the kind of person who won’t take you in unless you’re truly capable, even if you were his son.


    So, it’s possible that Skye made it into Mr. Gardner Senior’s team on her


    own.”


    Only after Sadie’s friend pointed it out did they realize they had never valued Skr or


    understood how exceptional she was.


    Maisy noticed the regret in Sadie’s expression. It took her attention away from


    Kenny, and she immediately said, “I’ve always thought Skr was outstanding. But some things


    aren’t as simple as we think. Besides, her new boyfriend isn’t Mr. Gardner or Mr. Martin. He seems


    to be just an ordinary guy.”


    Skr’s new boyfriend being an average guy made her even less useful to the family.


    The mention of Caleb and Joe caused Sadie’s expression to darken further. She realized they had


    misunderstood Skr.


    However, there was still a twinge of regret within her.


    If Skr had truly be involved with either of those men, their family would have had some


    powerful connections. Perhaps thepany’s troubles would have been resolved by now.


    “We should find her again to clear up the misunderstandings from before when we have the


    chance,” Sadie said.

    She continued, “My friend said that since she’s working in Mr. Gardner Senior’s team, it means


    she’s soaring to sess. In the future, many people will seek her assistance. By then, it’ll be a


    matter of pride for our family.”


    Even though Sadie’s tone was neutral, Maisy found her words unsettling.


    What did Sadie mean by “soaring to sess“? Maisy would never let Skr surpass her. Everyone


    in the family had to like her.


    Kenny used to harbor a sense of guilt toward Skr. But at that moment, he frowned after sensing


    Maisy’s disappointment.


    “Mom, stop talking about her. She holds too much grudge against us.


    “I’m done eating, Mom. I’m heading up to rest,” Maisy said.


    She then gloomily ascended the stairs.


    At that sight, Kenny set down his cutlery and said, “Mom, Maisy is feeling down. I’ll go check on


    her.”


    “Go ahead.”


    So, Kenny headed upstairs and entered Maisy’s room.

    As soon as she saw him, tears welled up in her eyes. “Kenny, do you all like Skr more than me?


    And because of my feelings for you… That’s why you dislike me as well, right?”
