Chapter 301
Maisy bit her lip and looked at Janine. “Mom, I… You’re the only one who would believe me now. I’ve changed. I’m not the same as before.”
Janine’s heart softened, but she stayed firm. “Well, Maisy, you can’t just fix what had
happened with a simple apology.
“You apologized to Skye in front of everyone today just to force her to forgive you, didn’t you? After everything you did to her, how can you expect her to forgive you so
easily?
*Steven is right. There’s still a long road ahead of you. Whether you’ve truly changed
or not will be proven over time. For now, you should just leave.”
Hearing this, Maisy almost choked on her breath. She hadn’t expected her biological mother to side with others over her–especially given that they were a bunch of
nobodies!
Maisy went ballistic. “Fine! I was blind enough to think that we could actually
reconcile. The fact that you guys blame everything on me is crazy. I shouldn’t have
come today.
“You will all regret this! And Skylar, your boyfriend is just a normal guy. You’re probably his sugar mommy, right? No surprise there!
“What kind of wealthy guy could you possibly find? 1
destined to marry into wealth,
so don’t come begging me for help in the future!”
Upon seeing Maisy’s true colors, Steven slapped her across the face.
“Stop judging people by your own filthy standards. Maisy, even though you’re my sister by blood, you don’t deserve to be one. Get out!”
If Maisy could slander Skylar right in front of them, who knew what she might have said about her to the Williams family?
And if Joe was a boy toy, what did that make everyone else?
Maisy was dumbfounded by the slap. She held her face and yelled, “You!”

“I bet you came back with such a drastic change in your attitude just so you could manipulate everyone here like you did with the Williamses, right?” Skylar exposed Maisy’s intentions with a mocking smile.
Maisy’s eyes flickered as she avoided Skylar’s gaze. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
In Maisy’s eyes, the Sullivan beggars weren’t worth her time.
“Steven, I’ll remember this slap. You’ll regret it! All of you…” Maisy retreated step by step toward the door and placed her hand on the doorknob.
She looked at them with overbearing arrogance. “You belong here, right in the slums of Jipsburg! Struggle all you want, but you will always remain at the bottom.
“I’m different from all of you! You think you guys can make me stay? Take a good
look at what you guys have to offer!
“You were right, Skylar! I wanted them to stay away from you to make sure you had no place here or with the Williams family. Your presence constantly reminded me that I was adopted. It’s all your fault!”
Janine was dismayed. “Maisy, you-”
“What about me? Do you think wearing a few fake designer brands makes you a socialite? You’re just a country bumpkin.
“You don’t deserve to be my mom at all. If you really were my mom, you’d kick Skylar out right now.” Maisy arrogantly pointed at Skylar while threatening Janine.
“Stop your fucking nonesense! Get the hell out! You’re just like the Williamses, full of crap!” Charles stood up and walked toward Maisy.
Skylar intervened. “Charles.”
Charles stopped and looked back at Skylar, who shook her head. He then quickly
calmed down.
Seeing how obedient Charles was to Skylar infuriated Maisy.
“Skylar, I swear you won’t have the last laugh!” she declared.
Chapter 01
“That goes for you,” Skylar replied nonchalantly.
Skylar couldn’t even be bothered to argue with Maisy now. She already had plenty of
incriminating evidence against Maisy.
Chapter 302
In Skylar’s eyes, Maisy was just flailing around like a headless chicken.
“You’ll all regret this!” Maisy seethed through clenched teeth..
She vowed to reclaim her dignity after this humiliation. She believed that the Williams family would weather this crisis, and then she would ensure Jeffrey and Sadie taught the Sullivans a lesson.
Anyone who crossed her in Jispurburg would come begging for her mercy.
“Geez. I must have been mistaken about you. I really thought you were genuinely remorseful before,” Janine said. She was disappointed and hurt.
Maisy lifted her chin arrogantly. “Why should I be remorseful? I’ve done nothing wrong. If anything, you should be the ones feeling guilty.
“I’m your real family, yet all you see is Skylar. How dare you expect me to treat you as my family? If you really cared about me, you’d kick her out!”
“Why don’t you leave the Williamses then? You’re shamelessly clinging to them as though you’re their daughter. You want the best of both worlds, but do you even deserve it?” Harvey retorted, disgusted by her audacity.
“I’m not like Skylar. I grew up with the Williamses; I’m a part of their family. Skylar will
never snatch everything away from me. Dream on!
“There’s nothing left for me to say. If you treasure Skylar so much, keep treasuring her in this slum. I’m not like you guys!” Maisy snapped.
Skylar glanced at Maisy’s haughty expression and pulled out her phone to look for a
particular video.
“Harvey, go to your room,” Skylar said.
Harvey was hesitant to leave.
“The next part isn’t something a student should hear,” Skylar explained.
Harvey returned to his room out of trust and respect for Skylar. Skylar proceeded to
Chante: 302

play the video.
A series of scandalous moans filled the room–it was Maisy’s voice.
Maisy looked bewildered after hearing the voices. “You… Skylar, why do you have this video?” She rushed forward to snatch the phone from Skylar but failed because
of the latter’s quick reflexes.
Janine and Steven were equally stunned by what unfolded on the screen. Despite
her flaws, they had never imagined Maisy could sink so much.
To them, Maisy had always presented herself as a reserved and respectable young
socialite.
“What would you say if I sent this video to Jeffrey and Sadie? How will they see you?” Skylar asked.
She then turned off her phone before Maisy could catch a glimpse.
Maisy’s face turned ashen. “That’s not me. The person in the video isn’t me. Did your hire someone to edit it? Skylar, you’ve really gone to extremes just to ruin me!”
“If I were you, I’d own up to my mistakes and leave quietly. The only reason I haven’t shared this video online is out of respect for Mom.
“Otherwise, after everything you’ve put me through, I wouldn’t hesitate to expose you, : Skylar said calmly. Despite her composure, her words carried a heavy weight.
“You!” Maisy panicked. “You can’t post the video. That’s illegal!”
“You organized those sex parties without any concern for the law. Why should I be afraid?” Skylar chuckled at Maisy’s desperation.
Tears welled up in Janine’s eyes. She finally understood the magnitude of what Skylar must have endured.
Steven’s expression darkened with anger, and he slapped Maisy again. “Get lost!”
Maisy clutched her cheek in pain.
Chapter 303
But this time, Maisy couldn’t even muster her usual tough talk.
Her eyes bore into Skylar’s with a mix of complexity and anger. “Tell me, who sent you that video? Aren’t you supposed to be ignoring Christopher after the breakup? Was he the one who sent it to you?”
Damn it, Christopher! He should have deleted the video after taking her money. Why had he handed it over to Skylar?
Skylar just smiled and stayed silent.
Maisy felt herself nearing a breakdown. “Skylar, say something!”
“Your actions will always catch up with you sooner or later. You should have known what you’ve done.” Charles couldn’t hold back any longer. He stood up and pushed Maisy away.
Maisy glared at Skylar intensely. If Skylar refused to speak, it definitely had
something to do with Christopher!
Charles shoved Maisy out and slammed the door shut.
The atmosphere at the family dinner had become tense because of Maisy’s appearance, and conversation had dwindled during the meal.
Seeing a different side of Maisy made it clear they’d underestimated the pain Skylar
had endured.
It was especially so for Janine, who’d believed that Maisy had changed and learned
her lesson. But it turned out..
“Steven, didn’t you mention you had something important to share today?” Skylar
broke the silence and looked at Steven.
Steven’s eyes were filled with guilt as he glanced at Skylar. He tried to sound casual. Yeah. There was important–news. So, I’ll be bringing my girlfriend home next time.
“Congratulations!” Skylar was pleasantly surprised. Among her elder brothers, she’d
been worried about Steven the most.
Steven had put his personal life on hold after university to support the family.
“Girlfriend? Steven, you’ve kept this secret well. When did you find time to get a girlfriend?” Charles was shocked.
Charles had always assumed that Steven was solely focused on his scientific research, with no room for relationships. Little did he know that Steven had quietly found himself a girlfriend!
On the other hand, Charles still hadn’t found a girlfriend despite being surrounded by
women every day.
The atmosphere lightened, and Janine also settled down. She asked, “What does she do for a living?”
Steven blushed slightly. “She’s a TV host. We met by chance at work.”
A TV host? Skylar was slightly taken aback.
“A TV host? That’s a great job. Treat her well, you hear me?” Janine advised with a
smile.
Steven nodded: “I will.”
Charles nudged Steven’s arm. “Well done, Steven! A TV host is a respectable job, and it’s not that complex.”
With Steven now having a girlfriend, the atmosphere became lively again, with Maisy’s earlier incident pushed out of their minds.
Skylar then took the opportunity to mention that she’d bought a house with a loan. The family was shocked by this news.
“I work in antique restoration, which pays well. On top of that, I run an Amazon store, which brings in a steady income daily. This house will be our family’s first, and we can move in once it’s renovated!”
“That’s great!” Harvey exclaimed joyfully
d rose to his feet.
Just then, a message from Joe popped up on Skylar’s phone.
Chapter 304
In the midst of a relaxed and cheerful family gathering, Skylar opened WhatsApp and
came across a message from Joe.
“I’ll be heading to Korel City because of something urgent. Will be back in a few days.”
“Korel City? It’s quite a distance from Jispurg. That’s at least a five–hour flight.” Skylar
thought.
“Okay, safe travels,” she replied.
Joe was already at the airport when he received Skylar’s message.
He glanced at Skylar’s brief response with a cold, brooding gaze. Did she not care even if he was leaving for a few days?
Maisy was livid, and she couldn’t believe she’d been kicked out of the house. Furious,
she immediately dialed Christopher’s number.
“Christopher, you’ve already taken my money. Why haven’t you deleted the video?
You’re shameless! Give me back my money!”
Christopher had spent the night in a haze and had just managed to doze off at dawn.
Maisy’s call jolted him awake, and he scowled as he answered, “What nonsense are
you talking about? I deleted that video ages ago.”
“If you’d deleted it, then how did Skylar get her hands on it? Did you send it to her just
to win her over? Wasn’t threatening me once enough? Now you’re even helping
Skylar?”
Maisy was beside herself with rage. She stomped her foot in frustration, nearly breaking her high heels..
She was seething. The thought of Skylar possessing evidence of her darker side left. her feeling utterly powerless.
What if the Wil
found out? What would she do, then?
Chapter 301

Christopher finally grasped her agitation. “Sent it to Skylar? I’ve never given anything to Skylar, especially not that video of yours.”
Christopher was certain he still had the video. While he had sold it to a few international websites, there was no way Skylar could have seen it.
“if it wasn’t you, then how did Skylar get the video?” Maisy was ready to throttle.
Christopher.
Christopher was fed up with Maisy’s relentless accusations. “How would I know how she got it? Instead of pointing fingers at me, why don’t you ask yourself?
“Maybe your phone was tampered with, and the contents leaked. Anyway, I didn’t give her the video. You’ve given me the money, and I’ve spent it. Don’t even think about getting the money back!”
Christopher was aware of Maisy’s slutty behaviors and speculated she might have been involved with some shady guys.
A few people must have watched it together, and somehow, the video had ended up in Skylar’s hands. There was a chance many people would have seen it now.
Maisy was so furious, she felt like chucking her phone away.
“Christopher, you scumbag! This is all your fault! It has to be you. Do you really think I’ll believe your lies? You’re the only one who owns that kind of video!” Maisy shouted.
Christopher rolled his eyes. “That’s not necessarily true. The hotels have hidden cameras nowadays. Your video might have been leaked from there. How could you pin everything on me?
“And how would someone get a chance to film you if you hadn’t acted like a hoe? After all, you didn’t even spare your own brother.
“Tsk tsk. You’re building quite the collection of men around you. Aren’t you even worried about catching diseases?”
Christopher’s words over the phone pierce through Maisy like knives.
Maisy’s face was drained of color. Just moments ago, Christopher had been trying to win her favor, and now he was humiliating her!
Chapter 50
“Even if I catch anything, you won’t be safe either. Christopher, don’t you ever forget how you used to beg at my feet like a dog. I was the one who dumped you.
“And now you’re acting so pathetic and stooping so low to go against me. Are you even a man? Of all the men I’ve known, you’re the least like one!
“You better pray I don’t find proof that you gave the video to Skylar. Otherwise, I
won’t let you off!”
Maisy slammed the phone down after venting. The thought of the one million dollars she had given away made her feel sick to her stomach.
Chapter 305
At that moment, Maisy’s phone rang again.
“Maisy, where are you?” Kenny’s voice was urgent.
Maisy pushed aside her troubled feelings and replied softly, “Kenny, I’m out shopping. Is something wrong?”
“Mom wasn’t feeling well today and went to the hospital. She got into a car accident
right after leaving! Come quickly,” Kenny exclaimed hurriedly.
Maisy’s face went pale. “A car accident? I… I’m on my way right now!”
After the Sullivan family gathering wrapped up, Skylar returned to Galaxy Villa.
The sprawling villa felt strangely empty with no one else around. Skylar wondered
how long it would be until Joe got back.
She grabbed a yogurt from the fridge and finished it just as another message from
Joe came.
“Would you want to visit Korel City?” Joe asked.
It suddenly dawned on Skylar that Korel City was a tourist hotspot she had] never
visited. She had never traveled before, let alone to Korel City, which was just a few
hours away by plane from Jipsburg.
Many of her friends had shared breathtaking photos of its scenic beauty on social media, and Skylar couldn’t help but be captivated each time she saw those pictures.
The allure of those landscapes was intoxicating, like a cleansing balm for her soul.
Skylar was truly tempted by Joe’s invitation.
Also, Alexander had mentioned that she could take a well–deserved break once.
Skylar finished Frank’s painting.
“Will my visit disturb your work?” Skylar asked.

Joe promptly replied, “No, this trip to Korel City Isn’t work–related. It’s personal. I’ll have Paul book your ticket. Today’s flights are full, but I’ll arrange one for tomorrow morning.”
“Great, thank you.”
With her travel plans settled, Skylar informed Alexander before heading upstairs to pack her luggage. After checking Korel City’s weather, she decided to pack a few dresses.
While humming a tune, Skylar folded her clothes. She even made sure she included a mosquito repellent.
As she packed, her phone kept ringing. She had accidentally silenced it earlier and
now noticed over a dozen missed calls from unknown numbers.
Worried it might be colleagues from work, Skylar immediately returned the calls.
“What were you doing? Why didn’t you pick up my calls? Come to the hospital now! Your mom got into a car accident just now.
Chapter 306
Don’t worry, Dad. Mom will be okay,” Maisy sald. Although visibly shaken, she still tried to comfort Jeffrey, putting on her facade as a considerate daughter.
“A car accident… it shouldn’t be too serious, or it could affect us all.” Maisy felt uneasy as she pondered.
“Whether she comes or not doesn’t matter,” Samuel said, rolling his eyes.
Of all th
The Williams family and even the helpers had ignored Skylar, leaving her filthy. So how could she have possibly not smelled?
Chapter 308
“If there’s anything you need, text me instead of calling,” she said and left. Their words were making her sick.
