    “Skye, please forgive me. I really need you!” Sadie pleaded tearfully.

    Skr remained unmoved. She wasn’t a pushover. She eyed the group coldly. “Caleb, call the


    police.”


    Caleb nodded. “Sure thing!”


    “Hold on, Skr,” Jeffrey interjected. “There’s no need for hostility. We share the Williams blood,


    after all.


    We’re a family, for better or worse.


    “We were hoping you could help the family out. Once things are back on track, there’ll always be a


    ce for you at home. We know about you and Joe, by the way.


    “That million–dor monthly allowance must be from him, right? See if he can lend the Williams


    Group a hand. It’d be a breeze for someone like Joe.”


    Caleb was stunned by what he heard. The couple seemed unbelievable. How could this be?


    Moreover, wasn’t Skr married?


    A sardonic smile yed on Skr’s lips. “Why should I help you?”


    It seemed they’d discovered her connection to Joe, confirming her suspicions. Their audacity in


    demanding her help was astounding.


    “We’re family. Helping us is helping yourself, isn’t it?” Peter tried to persuade Skr. “As long as


    you help us through this rough patch, you cane and go as you please in this house.


    “Even if Joe throws you away someday, this family will always have a ce for you. I can even find


    you a better husband.”


    “Skr, please,” Maisy pleaded, her voice thick with emotion. “Our family is in dire straits. Please,


    for Mom’s sake. The ident took a toll on her, and she can’t handle another blow.”


    Kenny couldn’t stomach the sight of Maisy begging. “Peter’s right,” he said sternly. “We are family.


    You have no choice but to help us weather this storm.”


    “Could you stop being so melodramatic? Living off a man’s money every month, how long can that


    possiblyst?” Samuel rolled his eyes in disbelief. He questioned whether Skr possessed any


    real abilities beyond pleasing a man.


    If Jeffrey and Sadie weren’t present, he definitely would’ve voiced those thoughts. After all, Skr


    wasn’t one to shy away from embarrassment, so why should he?


    Caleb couldn’t contain his frustration any longer. “Are you all out of your minds? When did Skr


    ever need a man to support her? With her talent, a million a month is chump change! You’re all


    clueless, making yourselves look like fools!”


    He couldn’t believe their ignorance. They kept iming Skr was family, yet they utterly


    misunderstood


    her.


    “You think you know everything? Are you that boy toy of Skr’s?” Samuel smirked.


    2/2


    Caleb nced at Skr. “Can I punch him right now?”


    “If you want to punch him, go ahead,” Skr replied calmly. She knew Caleb had trained in mixed


    martial


    arts, and from their casual conversations, she knew he could handle multiple opponents without a


    problem.


    Caleb didn’t hesitate. He rolled up his sleeves and delivered a p across Samuel’s face.


    There was a loud smack.


    Samuel was left bewildered.


    “In all my years, this is the first time someone’s called me a boy toy. You Williamses mean nothing


    to me. Do you think Joe would lift a finger for you? Dream on!” Caleb fumed. Then, hended


    another kick.


    Seeing Caleb’s audacious disregard for consequences, Jeffrey and the rest of the family were


    taken


    aback.


    They realized Caleb wasn’t just an ordinary worker.


    His confidence and disregard suggested he held a unique status within Jipsburg City.


    A surge of satisfaction washed over Skr. She’d wanted to do that to Samuel for a while now.
