Chapter 241
“She said Floyd hadn’t touched her for a long time. Ever since she gave birth, he has
disliked her for being out of shape. He also said she looked ugly when she gave birth
and couldn’t forget the scene.”
Natalie felt so uneasy that she suddenly decided not to have children. She was afraid that Jeremy would detest her and that she would lose her true self.
She intended to work. She had recently graduated from college and wasn’t ready for
a baby.
“What did Nancy decide to do?” Skylar asked.
“She told her family about it, and she’s preparing to divorce Floyd. She’s collecting
evidence of him cheating now.
“She plans to open a dance training institution for children later. She said she doesn’t want to lose her true self anymore.
“I feel so uncomfortable after hearing about her experience. Skylar, are there no good. men in this world? I’m not so confident about Jeremy anymore,” Natalie stated a little
decadently.
Skylar comforted her softly. “Nancy is strong. Things have already happened. It’s best if she can figure out her path and settle her future as quickly as possible.”
“Yes, she’s strong. If I had been in that situation, I might have collapsed. I can’t imagine what would happen if Jeremy betrayed me. I’m not as strong as I appear. Maybe I don’t seem to care about anything, but I’m really scared.” Natalie sighed.
Nancy’s incident had prompted her to reflect deeply on herself.
Skylar’s eyes flashed as she remembered the “Mr. Hughes” she had heard at the hot spring hotel. She wondered if it was truly a coincidence.
Natalie noticed that Skylar was distracted and asked, “Are you thinking about yourself? Christopher is a scumbag. He won’t get a good ending. You can start over,
like Nancy!

“Don’t worry. I didn’t forget what I promised you. My cousin with the eight–pack abs I mentioned last time will be here soon. He has seen your photos and said he fell in love with you at first sight.”
Skylar was shocked. “Your cousin is coming over?”
“Yes. Didn’t I tell you two days ago? I’d like to introduce him to you. Don’t worry. He’s
a police officer. If Christopher harasses you again, my cousin will protect you and
teach him a lesson.”
Natalie winked at Skylar. “Moreover, he has never fallen in love. He said he believes in true love. See, this is how a good man looks!”
Skylar was speechless for a while, saying helplessly, “I’m married. I’m really married.”
“Are you married to nothing?” Natalie patted Skylar’s shoulder. “I won’t deceive you. My cousin is much better than Christopher!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a man over six feet tall walked in and called out to
her. “Nath.”
Natalie looked over and said, “Come here, Elliott! Skylar got here before you. Didn’t you say you’d arrive half an hour earlier?”
“I had something to do just now, so I went to the police station first,” Elliott Turner replied as he walked over.
When he spotted Skylar, he was slightly stunned. Fortunately, he was used to facing many criminal suspects and could maintain his composure.
He thought Skylar was even more stunning in person than in the photos, which made him feel like he wasn’t her ideal match.
“Hello, Ms. Sullivan. I’m Nath’s cousin, Elliott.” Elliott reached out to Skylar.
She shook his hand politely. “Hello, I’m Nath’s friend, Skylar.”
Natalie smiled meaningfully, believing that they were a perfect match. She said to Skylar, “Lend me your phone, Skylar.”
Skylar unlocked the phone and handed it to Natalie, asking, “What do you want to do?
Chapter 241
“I’ll take photos for you.” She planned to post this perfect match’s photo on Instagram and annoy Christopher.

Chapter 242
Joe had just finished working out and was checking his phone while taking a break for coffee. He was stunned when he spotted Skylar’s Instagram post.
In the photo, she stood with an upright–looking man. The contrasting height difference made her look petite, while the man looked at her with tenderness and
sweetness.
It was only a simple photo, but Joe could tell that the man liked Skylar and that she was in a good mood.
He wondered if this man was the one she had wanted to meet today.
The photo caused an uproar. After Caleb saw the photo, he felt a little complicated. He happened to know Elliott. The latter had caught and interrogated him before.
A friend he had been riding with had died before, and Elliott had been in charge of that case. During the interrogation, he had almost driven Caleb crazy.
If it hadn’t been true that he had done nothing wrong, he would have revealed all of his secrets. He wondered if Elliott was Skylar’s husband.
Skylar had blocked Christopher, so he couldn’t view her Instagram, but they had common high school classmates.
They knew that he and Skylar had broken up, so they sent him a screenshot of her Instagram post.
When Christopher saw the photo, the stack of inspection reports in his hands slipped, scattering onto the ground.
The man in the photo wasn’t Joe, whom Maisy had mentioned. Christopher had never seen Elliot before, and the latter didn’t look like a wealthy big shot.
He thought that Maisy had lied to him.
Chapter 242
Meanwhile, Maisy was utterly shocked to see the photo.
Why wasn’t the man Joe? Had they guessed wrong?
She had known that Skylar couldn’t be lucky enough to win Joe’s favor!
When she saw the photo, she kept her doubts to herself because the Sullivans were
in front of her.
Maisy didn’t know what to say to them. Someone had just happened to share Skylar’s Instagram post with her, so she had immediately clicked on it to view it.
She was ecstatic when she saw the photo.
If this was the case, it meant that she no longer needed to please the Sullivans. She had originally been angry that Skylar and Joe were together, but it turned out to be bogus news.
So, she didn’t bother to put much effort into the Sullivans.
“Maisy, we have a room here. You can come back whenever you want,” Janine said. as she noticed Maisy put down her phone.
Maisy rolled her eyes inwardly. She wanted to ridicule Janine for her lack of self- awareness, but she held her words back.
It would be better if she could corner Skylar. Since the Sullivans were present, she could try to deceive them.
“Okay, I’ll come back to live with you after Mrs. Williams gets better. I just wonder if Charles and Harvey will welcome me.” Maisy gazed at Charles and Harvey.
Chapter 243
Charles glanced at Maisy coolly and said nothing.
But Harvey was younger and acted more straightforwardly. He sneered and said, “We don’t welcome you.”
Maisy smiled bitterly. “I know you’ve all misunderstood me. But I believe you’ll get to
know the real me and stop misunderstanding me soon.”
Janine sighed inwardly. She felt helpless as she saw that Charles and Harvey were defensive and disgusted with Maisy.
After all, they had previously experienced several unpleasant issues. They couldn’t resolve the misunderstanding so easily.
“Mom, my friend just showed me Skylar’s Instagram post. What’s her current
boyfriend’s job?”
“Skylar’s boyfriend?” Janine was stunned.
“Skye doesn’t have a boyfriend. Didn’t you snatch her ex–boyfriend away?” Harvey
sneered.
Maisy gritted her teeth. “It was a misunderstanding. I clarified it at that time.”
Harvey retorted unceremoniously, “Stop kidding. Do you think everyone is a fool?”
“I can’t see Skylar’s Instagram because she has blocked me. But my friend sent me a photo.” Maisy sent them the photo on her phone.
Harvey raised an eyebrow as he glanced at the photo. “He’s probably her friend.”
“Yes, they could be colleagues or friends,” Janine echoed Harvey’s thoughts.
Charles had already asked Skylar, but she hadn’t responded yet. It was normal for her to take photos with men. They wouldn’t think much of it, even if Elliot turned out to be her boyfriend.
“Skylar must have paid a lot to join Mr. Gardner Senior’s team. Mom, you may need to pay more attention to her. After all, girls are more prone to suffering.
Chapter 243
“You may be unaware of Mr. Gardner Senior’s status in Jipsburg. Nobody can join his team without any connection or skills. Skylar may be on the wrong path-”
Before Maisy could finish her words, Harvey slapped her hard. “Watch your words. and stop spouting rubbish! My sister joined the team with her own abilities!”
“Don’t slander Skye again.” Janine frowned.
Charles snorted coldly. “Did you come here to destroy our relationship with Skye? Then, you should give up. We know Skye better than anyone else. All of your efforts
are in vain.”
Maisy stood up angrily. “Do you know what Mr. Gardner Senior’s team does?”
“Mainly restoring cultural relics, Charles responded calmly.
She was stunned when she heard that. She even started to wonder if Skylar had
hidden her abilities.
Jeffrey and Sadie were astonished when they saw Skylar’s Instagram post, which Maisy had forwarded to them.
“Why did she post this photo at this critical juncture? We were embarrassed in front of John this morning. Now we’ve truly offended the Gardners!” Peter was furious.
“Could Skylar be flirting with John and other men at the same time? I think it’s possible! She’s not that well–behaved and sensible. She’s wild!” Samuel commented.
Jeffrey was at home with Sadie. He looked at the group chat, hoping that Skylar
might answer the question.
It was unfortunate that they hadn’t added her to the group chat from the get go. She had also left the other group chat that had been created separately.
Sadie asked, “Jeff, what should we do now? Can our company survive in this
situation?”
“Our company is at its most crucial point. It’s most likely that we won’t be able to save it. It might not be long before we have to declare bankruptcy.” Jeffrey appeared extremely solemn.
Chapter 241

Sadie turned pale; she had never seen him that downcast. “Only a short amount of time has passed. How could our company-”
“Just be ready. We might have to sell our villa. I’ll take out all the properties and get a mortgage to see if I can turn things around. I’ve been wondering if it could be due to Skylar. But that doesn’t seem to be the case,” Jeffrey stated.
In fact, he hoped that a certain big shot would truly spot Skylar. He was willing to sell
her in exchange for his company.
Chapter 244
Sadie was shocked. “Has our company reached this point? Do we still have to sell off
our properties?”
“We should just do it. The company won’t last long.” Jeffrey had never imagined he would be in this situation one day.
He had been arrogant for many years and believed that he had fully established himself in Jipsburg. He even intended to put in more effort to make the Williams family one of Jipsburg’s elite families in the future.
It was unfortunate that he had a bad outcome.
Sadie panicked. Seeing that her children were complaining in the group chat and hadn’t seemed to realize the seriousness of the issue, she began to get scared.
If their family was really in trouble, they might be in debt in the future!
Inexplicably, she had an ominous premonition.
After lunch, Skylar checked her phone. When she saw the inquiries from Steven and some friends, she realized that Natalie had used her phone to post a photo on
Instagram.
That photo had caused an uproar.
Skylar knew Natalie wanted to help her avenge her, so the latter had informed her Instagram friends that she had come out of the quagmire and was in a new
relationship.
Skylar briefly explained her relationship with Elliott to her family and friends. Then, she pondered for a while before taking the initiative to make things clear to Joe.
“That Instagram photo was posted by my friend. She doesn’t know that I’m married. That man was her cousin.”
Joe replied, “Okay.”
Chapter 244

After receiving his response, Skylar placed the phone in her bag.
“Did the photo overwhelm them? Many people want to see you get embarrassed, so I
used that photo to disappoint them! I want to show them that you’re popular with
men!” Natalie leaned closer to Skylar and whispered.
Skylar pinched Natalie’s cheek. “That post also overwhelmed me.”
“That’s nothing. Take a good look at Elliot! Don’t keep your guard up; Elliott is really good. If he treats you badly, our whole family won’t let him go.” Natalie chuckled.
“I’m married, Nath.” Skylar decided to reveal the truth to Natalie. She was worried. that Natalie would set her up on another blind date.
Natalie didn’t believe it. “Stop kidding me.”
“That’s the truth. I’ll show you my marriage certificate someday.”
“I don’t believe you. I know you well. You’re unlikely to have an impromptu wedding. You and Christopher have just broken up.
“You needed to recover from that and find a job. How could you have had time to look for someone to marry?
“Moreover, what man can prompt you to have a flash marriage without hesitation? If you’re not interested in Elliot, I’ll introduce you to someone else.” Natalie acted as though she had seen through Skylar
Elliott soon walked out of the restroom. Seeing the two ladies whispering, he didn’t
disturb them.
Skylar regretted not bringing her marriage certificate with her. After much thought, she decided to bring it with her the next time she met Natalie.
After responding to Skylar, Joe made a call. “You can stop investigating.”
It turned out that the man in the photo was just a nobody.
