Chapter 424


    Maisy studied Caleb intently. His audacity and eloquent speech suggested a single possibility–he


    wasn’t afraid of the Williams family.


    Maisy couldn’t help but wonder if Caleb belonged to a social ss far above theirs. Envy twisted in


    her gut. Was Skr truly that lucky?


    Everyone Skr knew seemed increasingly aplished. She’d even married Joe, and the fact


    that Joe had once slept with Skr fueled envy in others.


    “I’ll kill you!” Samuel roared, lunging toward Caleb.


    However, Caleb ignored himpletely, treating Samuel like an insignificant nuisance. Just as


    Caleb was about to deliver another kick, Peter intervened, restraining Samuel.


    Skr remained silent, her gaze icy as she fixed Samuel with a chilling stare. “Are you trying to get


    yourself killed?”


    The scene left Sadie with a throbbing headache.


    Their family was teetering on the edge. Jeffrey and his sons were acting Irrationally, manipting


    Skr. They believed that Skr would forgive them no matter what they did. Their selfishness


    knew no bounds.


    They thought Skr would bend to their will, even knowing their true intentions.


    No one knew where they got the confidence from.


    Just a few months ago, she wouldn’t have questioned their demands. They’d frequently forced her


    to donate blood, and she’d alwaysplied.


    Skr’s resentment wasn’t sudden, it had festered over time, fueled by repeated disappointments.


    “Skr, ask your colleague to leave. We need a serious discussion,” Jeffrey said gravely. “There


    are things. we need to talk about openly and honestly, for everyone’s benefit.”


    Perhaps today, Jeffrey would finally understand. They needed to treat Skr respectfully in a


    conversation, not just issuemands.

    But the old dynamic no longer held sway. Skr didn’t seem to hold them in much affection,


    shattering their subconscious belief that she cared deeply.


    This realization weighed heavily on Jeffrey, causing deep difort.


    Peter, ever perceptive, grasped the situation. He spoke gently, “Dad’s right. We need a chance to


    talk properly. Mom was genuinely happy to see you today. She just wanted to see you. Last time,


    we had at fallout over caring for Mom, which was our mistake.


    “We were wrong?” Samuel sputtered, disbelief etched on his face as he witnessed Jeffrey and


    Peter’s humble stance. In his mind, Skr was the one in the wrong.


    “Shut up, Samuel. Stay quiet for once,” Peter said with a frown, clearly viewing him as a


    hindrance.


    Maisy bit her lip. The family’s dynamic had indeed shifted. They were now trying to appease Skr.


    She’d known it all along.


    “So, now you admit you were wrong, but you’re still trying to stop me from leaving? Are you ying


    a game? ‘Say one thing, mean another? Well yed,” Skr said with a sardonic smile, exposing


    their hypocrisy. Even their attempts at reconciliation felt insincere.


    “It’s not a game, Skr,” Jeffrey countered, furrowing his brow. “Can’t we just have a proper


    conversation? I’m your father, wouldn’t I want what’s best for you?” He wanted to explode but


    forced himself to remain


    calm. He had no other choice.
