Chapter 300


    A few minutester, everyone was seated.


    Other than Janine, whose face remained mild, Steven, Charles, and Harvey all wore cold and stoic


    expressions. Skr appeared calm and unruffled, showing no sign of difort.


    Only Maisy seemed genuinely aggrieved, her eyes red. Once everyone was settled, she stood up.


    “Sorry, Skr,” Maisy bowed her head deeply. “I was wrong before. During my time with the


    Williamses, I was unkind to you. I thought you would take away everything that belonged to me.


    “I was so scared of losing, especially since I’ve always had an easy life. That’s why


    when Mom asked me toe back, I refused. This environment wasn’t what I was


    used to.


    “Skr, it was all my fault. Please forgive me. Mom, Steven, Charles, and Harvey, can


    you all forgive me too? I promise I’ve changed.”


    Maisy took on a very humble posture, looking pitiful and making people feel sorry for


    her. ying the innocent victim was an art in itself, and Maisy had mastered it well.


    She could be flexible when needed.


    Skr tightened her grip on her ss of water. Maisy always had a knack for ying the victim. Her


    apologies were always a surefire hit.


    The living room was filled with the aroma of food, but an uneasy silence hung in the


    air.


    “Spit it out. What exactly do you want to do? Do you really think what you did to Skye can be


    forgiven with just a simple apology?” Charles asked. He had seen through


    Maisy’s act.


    He was an actor himself, and he could judge whether a person was acting. Maisy


    was just another two–faced person; he had seen plenty in the entertainment industry.

    Such public apologies were often just a show, hiding their true intentions. Maisy’s performance


    seemed a bit forced. Did she really think she could fool them all?


    Steven had seen the video of Maisy and Christopher together, and she poured dirt on Skr


    without hesitation when they were with the Williams family.


    Just like Charles, he believed Maisy’s visit to their home was not well–intentioned.


    Maisy couldn’t have imagined that her usual tactics, so effective with the Williamses, would fail in


    front of these people.


    Steven and Charles didn’t care whether she felt wronged or not. Even Harvey was wearing an


    impassive smirk, enjoying the spectacle.


    Janine, too, remained unmoved.


    Maisy knew Skr would never forgive her, regardless of whether she apologized.


    “I… I don’t have any other intentions. I just feel sorry for Skr. I was just too foolish before,” Maisy


    immediately defended herself.


    Skr only nced at her.


    “Skye might be even younger than you. Stop acting so innocent. In fact, you look a decade older


    than her,” Harvey mocked.


    “Harvey!” Maisy couldn’t hold back her anger at the sarcasm. “I’m your real sister!”


    “See, that’s her true color.” Harvey scoffed.

    Steven stood up. “Maisy, your sudden change in attitude anding to our house is suspicious.


    Whatever you’re nning, it won’t work. If you’re truly repentant, this isn’t the right attitude. We


    don’t wee you here right now. If you still have something to say,e back next time.”
