Chapter 308


    Peter’s face turned cold. “Do you even know what you’re saying?” His voice dripped


    with menace.


    Samuel gritted his teeth and red at Skr. “Are you saying that blood ties don’t matter? How do


    you think you got here, then? Skr, don’t push us!”


    Skr stood up after slinging her bag over her shoulder.


    “If there’s anything you need, text me instead of calling,” she said and left. Their words were


    making her sick.


    Skr had barely taken a few steps when Jeffrey’s voice stopped her. “Hold on!”


    She turned to face him.


    “Sit down and wait. Your mother is still in surgery. What do you think you’re doing?” Jeffrey’s tone


    was harsh.


    Skr smirked and nced at her watch.


    “This surgery is going to take a while. If you want me to stick around and listen to your self–


    righteous nonsense, you’d better show some sincerity. At least a few million dors might make it


    worthwhile. Otherwise, shush.”


    Skr couldn’t help but wonder what had deluded the Williamses into thinking they were the center


    of the universe and everyone had to revolve around them. They had perfected being shameless.


    “Skr, we’re a family. Why do you always bring up money?” Maisy couldn’t hold back anymore


    and hinted that Skr was too greedy.


    “Peter and Samuel were indeed too impulsive just now. With Mom in an ident, they’re on edge.


    Don’t hold it against them, Skr.” Kenny quickly stepped in to ease


    the tension.


    Peter pressed his lips tightly, as if suppressing some emotion. Meanwhile, Samuel could only shut


    up under Jeffrey’s re.


    Samuel hated how Skr didn’t seem to respect them at all. How could she be like


    that? Just look at how deferential Maisy was to them! Theparison was stark.

    Jeffrey softened his tone slightly. “Let’s discuss anything only after Sadie is out of


    surgery.”


    Skr raised an eyebrow and sat down a few seats away from them. Finally, with some peace and


    quiet, she pulled out her phone and started replying to Joe’s


    messages.


    Paul had already booked her flight and would pick her up at the airport tomorrow.


    Joe seemed to have free time now, so they chatted for a bit.


    Samuel felt the urge tosh out again as he saw Skr engrossed in her phone. But he


    remembered her earlier threat to leave and bit his tongue.


    Maisy, on the other hand, felt a growing dread. She was worried that Skr might show the


    Williamses the video. That video was practically a ticking time bomb.


    Maisy regretted her impulsiveness. She shouldn’t have met that man at the bar and ended up in


    such apromising situation.


    Now, with Skr holding the evidence over her, Maisy’s heart was in her throat.


    Unable to stand the unease any longer, Maisy approached Skr. “Can we talk?”


    Having just finished her conversation with Joe and moved on to handling her Amazon orders, Skr


    looked up at Maisy.


    “Talk?”


    Maisy bit her lip, trying to appear calm.
