Chapter 613


    Charles narrowed his eyes, sensing something amiss. “Steven, are you keeping something from


    me?” “There are indeed matters at hand, but it is not the right time for you to know. You’ll find out


    soon enough, “Steven replied, aware that Skr was arranging a meeting between their family and


    Joe.


    Charles didn’t probe further. “Alright. By the way, since you brought Annie back homest time, you


    haven’t mentioned her. I’ve heard some rumorstely–she was fired from the TV station, and her


    family is going through some trouble. Do you-

    “I’m fine. We’ve broken up,” Steven calmly interjected. He had ended things with Annie recently, and


    only Skr knew about it.


    Charles was taken aback. “You broke up?”


    “It wasn’t because of the Silver family’s troubles. There were other issues that I couldn’t tolerate,”


    Steven briefly exined.


    Charles furrowed his brows. He recalled some rumors he had previously dismissed as unfounded.


    He had wholly trusted Steven’s judgment. Since Steven had chosen Annie, he believed she was


    worth trusting. But now it seemed the rumors might have been true.


    “Alright. Steven, if you need someone to drink with, just call me. I’m preparing for my next role, so


    I’ve got some time to join you for a drink,” Charles immediately offered.


    Steven agreed, “Okay. I’m going to take a shower.”


    “Yeah, I should get to bed too.”


    Charles looked at his phone after the call ended. He contemted Steven’s words. He thought it


    was probably just his overthinking.


    Since that was the case, Charles decided to stop thinking about it. There was no need to dwell on it.


    After all, Steven had said he would find out the reason soon.


    That was true. Eventually, he would find out if Joe had a real interest in men. As long as he stayed


    clear of any involvement, what happened today would be just a misunderstanding.

    The following day, Skr went back to work after a brief break.


    When Alexander learned she wasing to work, he called to check on her health and even


    suggested she take more time off. After Skr reassured him she was okay, Alexander agreed to


    let her return to work.


    There were no new tasks, just the ones she had been working on before she went to Liberty


    County. These tasks were critical and could only bepleted by her.


    She worked diligently throughout the day and had takeout for lunch.


    By the end of the workday, Caleb sent her a message on WhatsApp informing her that he would


    return in two days.


    Skr was pleased to hear that Caleb was returning Some routine processes required his help,


    which would speed up their progress.


    In the parking lot, just as she was getting into her car, someone suddenly opened the


    passenger door and got in.

    Skr looked at the unexpected intruder who had just barged in. It was Kenny..


    “Get out,” Skr said sharply.


    “I’m your brother. What’s with your attitude? You haven’t been home to check on us. When there’s


    trouble at home, you don’t help. Now that I’m here, this is how you treat me?” Kenny replied.


    He was more brazen than before. He had once taken pride in being a distinguished heir of the


    Williams family and maintained a certain decorum. But now, after his fall from grace, his audacity


    had grown even more shameless.
