    “How shameless,” chuckled Caleb.


    Samuel didn’t think much of Caleb. However, he was terrified by the Gardner family. Thus, he said


    meekly, “My dad hasn’t said anything wrong. I would’ve readily handed my phone over if it were


    me.”


    Sadie’s face paled.


    They were done for.


    Without her realizing it, everyone in their family had lost their minds. How could they act as though


    they were in the right? Yet, she used to think nothing of it and even justified their actions.


    Jeffrey ordered, Joe must’ve been the caller. Skr, take me to him!”


    He had been so close. If Joe had let him finish and agreed to his proposal, there would have been

    for hispany.


    It had been a treacherous climb to where he was today. He couldn’t lose it! Not at all!


    Skyler scoffed before saying, “Go to sleep, Mr. Williams. Anything is possible in your dreams.”


    She then walked downstairs.


    Caleb trailed after Skr to protect her.


    Upon seeing Jeffrey go after them, Caleb pointed at them and threatened, “Take another step


    forward. and I’ll make sure you regret it. If you bully Skr, you bully me. The Gardner family will


    not have mercy on


    my aggressors.”


    His threat seeded in intimidating them. No one continued following them.


    Jeffrey and his men only dared to chase them once they’d left the vi.


    At the same time, they saw multiple cars parked in front of their vi.


    Many men in ck suits got out. All of them were tall and muscr, clearlybat–skilled


    bodyguards.


    Upon seeing Caleb, they addressed him with reverence. They also treated Skr respectfully.


    Upon seeing that, they sucked in a startled breath. Now, it looked like Caleb hadn’t been bragging


    at all. He was indeed part of the Gardner family.


    Why was Skr so close to the Gardners?


    How many things had Skr been hiding from them?


    After a few minutes, the men left the vi. Only then did Jeffrey remark darkly, ‘It looks like our


    understanding of Skr is too superficial. We have to meet Joe at all costs and ask him–to save


    our


    Jeffrey narrowed his eyes. Fury burned within him when he thought of Skr’s coldness toward


    him. It


    was as though she no longer thought of him as her father.


    Samuel’s face hadn’t regained its color. He asked, “The Gardner family wouldn’t have sent


    someone over to teach me a lesson, would they?”


    Only now did fear wash over him.


    He had thought that Caleb was only bragging and clung to the hope that Skr had merely picked


    someone off the street to put on a show. Who knew that he would turn out to be the real deal?


    Peter couldn’t suppress his bubbling anger and scolded, ‘Can’t you think before acting? Now I know


    why you couldn’t stay in the entertainment industry. Everyone is smearing salt in our wounds and


    writing exposés about us because you never use that brain of yours when making decisions!”


    Kenny felt his heart being crushed. He said, “Skr is set on ruining our family.”


    “Dad, Peter, we need to be prepared. I think Skr is determined to cause the demise of our family.


    In addition… she might have said something inappropriate to Joe. If not, Joe wouldn’t have hung up


    on Dad,” Maisy said with balled fists. She couldn’t help but pin the me on Skr.


    Kenny paused for a moment. He looked down at Maisy and said, “You.”


    “I don’t want to think the worst of Skr. However… You saw what happened,” Maisy exined with


    red- rimmed eyes.


    Peter told Jeffrey solemnly, “We must prepare ourselves extensively this time. Perhaps we shouldn’t


    have asked Joe for help. Rather, we should seek out Mrs. Martin Senior. She’s the most important


    person to Joe. It’ll be easier like that.”


    Jeffrey narrowed his eyes andplimented, “That’s smart of you! Get some gifts ready. We’ll visit


    Mrs. Martin tomorrow!”
