Chapter 420

    “Don’t worry,” Caleb said confidently. “If they try to cause any trouble, I can call dozens of people


    here in a


    minute.”


    With a group message, he could easily summon a show of force. He would love to see if the


    Williams family dared to act recklessly after that.


    Skr’s appearance stunned the Williams family maids. They rushed to inform the family.


    Entering the vi, Skr saw nearly the entire Williams family walking down the stairs. Augh


    bubbled up in her throat. She was amused, not expecting that all of them were waiting for her in a


    single file.


    Their expressions were strange, a mix of uncertainty and awkwardness. They didn’t quite know how


    to face Skr anymore.


    Skr was no longer susceptible to coercion nor cared about their opinions like she used to. Joe’s


    unwavering support had bolstered her confidence, rendering their opinions irrelevant.


    “You’re back?” Jeffrey spoke, his voice strained.


    He couldn’t help butment that his least favorite daughter had be Joe’s favorite. If only it had


    been Maisy, things would be so much easier.


    Kenny and Maisy hadplex expressions, especially Maisy, who clenched her fits in silent fury.


    She truly wished Skr dead.


    Peter appeared much more mild–mannered than before, but his insincerity was evident.


    Samuel, ever the odd one out, seemed impatient and dismissive, as if Skr’s visit was an


    inconvenience.


    Caleb followed Skr into the house, smirking as he observed the family’s forced wee. Each


    person wore a mask of superiority that couldn’t hide their underlying insincerity. He marveled at


    Skr’s genuine demeanor in stark contrast to their phoniness.


    Still clinging to their misced pride, the Williams family presented aical picture to Caleb.


    Initially unnoticed, Caleb’s tall stature and youthful confidence inevitably drew attention. His


    genuineness was a breath of fresh airpared to the calcting gazes of the Williams family,


    who, despite their attempts, couldn’t hide their true intentions.


    “Who is he? Why did you bring a stranger home?” Samuel snapped, his irritation evident.


    Caleb clenched his fits. He had an urge to punch Samuel.


    Skr’s voice turned cold. “He’s my colleague. Didn’t you ask me to visit Mrs. Williams? Are you


    going to let me see her or not?”


    “Skr, Mom’s sleeping right now. Why don’t we sit down and chat for a bit? It’s been a while since


    you’ve been back. We really miss you,” Maisy said sweetly.


    Maisy couldn’t help but steal nces at Caleb. He seemed a few years younger than her and


    Skr. He


    2/2


    seemed like a refreshing change from the older men she usually dated. A pang of envy shot


    through her. Skr always seemed to attract the best men, leaving her with the likes of


    Christopher.


    She regretted getting entangled with Christopher.


    “Yeah, let’s sit down and have a family chat. You’ve been out of touch since you moved out, and


    your mother and I have been worried about you,” Jeffrey said with a fatherly attitude.


    Jeffrey’splete turnaround was interesting. Their behavior hinted at something more than just


    wanting Skr to quit her job for Sadie. There was more to it.


    Meanwhile, Caleb was speechless, dumbfounded by the Williams family’s audacity. N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
