Chapter 373
Sadie’s popds were blown wide, utterly filed with terror. Her voice was shaky as die tried to get the words but it was clear that the nightmare was not an ordinary one.
All of you. All of you were also awful toward Skye. All you can see is Maisy Yoire complete w Skyel Do you even know what you’ve done?”
Sadie was practically screaming at them at this point. Her voice was gentural, and the frantic look in eyes made her seem like she had stepped out of a horror movie.
The sight scared the living daylights out of her sons
“Mom, you’ve already said it was a nightmare. Nightmares aren’t real! You just miss Sk for too much. That’s why you’ve had that dream. You know full well that drearms arerit real Yenny hastly advised ter
It was just a dream. Why was Sadie behaving like this?
What did she mean by Skylar getting into a car accident? The one who had gotten into an accident was
her!
Frankly, he’d rather Skylar be the one suffering right now. If that were the case, they wouldn’t be suffering this torment.
“Mom, stop fussing about it. It’s just a dream. There’s no need to shout, Samuel said impatiently.
Sadie swept her gaze across the impatient look on her sons‘ faces. She had seen that expression on her own face in that nightmare.
She had treated Skylar the same way they were treating her. In fact, she had treated Skylar worse. Skylar would never dream of expressing her wants or needs. That was because Sadie would erupt in anger the moment she saw Skylar frown.
Sadie would think that Skylar was doing it on purpose and that she wasn’t a good and obedient daughter. Her back was drenched with cold sweat at the thought. Although it was a dream, it felt far too real.
“It doesn’t feel like a dream. It feels like something that has happened before. I want to see her! I have to see her!”
Sadie desperately wanted to see Skylar with her own two eyes. She had no idea why she was feeling this way. She obviously didn’t like Skylar.
She had always thought that Skylar wasn’t as outstanding as Maisy. After all, Maisy had the best education, while Skylar was just a mere country bumpkin.
Sadie had never once treated Skylar kindly when her daughter returned to the Williams family
However, after her car accident, she knew just what Maisy thought of her.
Her children all claimed they were taking care of her. Yet, each of them only treated her with impatience.
It was especially so for Maisy, who didn’t even care about her well–being.
Sadie could differentiate sincerity from fake kindness. Maisy probably prayed that she died in the car crash instead of surviving the ordeal and burdening them.
“That’s enough. You’ll get your wish! You’ll see Skylar soon enough,” Peter said harshly.
Samuel inhaled sharply, trying to suppress his anger as he barked, “Mom, don’t tell us about your dream in the future. It’s so annoying!
“In the past, you’ve always told us dreams are fake. There’s no need to breathe life into it. So, why are you being so unreasonable now?
“If your dream is true, then I genuinely hope the person who got into a car accident and lost her legs was Skylar!”
Chapter 374
You You
If Sadie could shoot lasers from her eyes, she would have. Black spots were clouding her vision due to the sheer fury.
She had a nightmare and was scared out of her wits because it felt incredibly real. Yet, none of her sons sat down and talked to her gently. Instead, they were all reprimanding her.
Did she truly give birth to them?
Before her accident, she had always thought her, sons and her daughter, Maisy, were her pride and joy. They were respectful of her and were attentive to her needs.
In her eyes, Skylar was nothing compared to them.
The nightmare….
The scenes of her nightmare played out like an awful and demented play. At first, she was horrified. Then, she started reflecting. Toward the end, all she had was remorse.
She was experiencing exactly what Skylar had suffered. However, if she were to be specific, she was receiving much better treatment than Skylar ever had.
If the nightmare were events that had happened, then was she even worthy of the title “Mom“?
my sons! All th
“None of you should call yourselves blood, sweat, and tears giving birth and raising all of you were wasted!” Sadie shrieked in outrage.
Kenny disliked hearing things like that. “Mom, we’ve tossed everything aside just to care for you ever since your car accident. Is it not enough?
“We understand that you can’t accept your current condition. However, the past is set in stone. Can you please calm down? Stop hurting us and hurting yourself, okay?”
Peter and Samuel had a sullen look on their faces, unwilling to speak with Sadie.
In the end, Sadie could only glare at Kenny, who was reprimanding her, before crying tears of regret.
Skylar had a rather stuffed bag as she walked to work the next day. The bag was filled with local goods and snacks. She wanted to share them with her colleagues.
Although she had a few more days off, she decided to come to work after hearing her colleagues complain about their heavy workload.
After all, she still had a mortgage to pay off. She also had the refurbishing fee to consider.
On the way to her work, she received a text from Natalie. She was standing before a villa and beaming at the camera.
Chapter 374
“This is my first day of work! I’m feeling great! Wish me luck, Skye!”
Skylar texted her back during a red light, “Good luck at work, Natty! Text me if you need help.”
Soon, she arrived at Gardner Group. She smoothly parked her car, took her purse, and strode into the company with her card in hand.
Just as she was about to step through the entrance, one of her colleagues rushed straight for her.
“Skylar, don’t come to work today. Those people who were troubling you brought the media and reporters over! Security has already called the cops. The police will be here soon. I’ll call you once everything has died down.”
The smile on Skylar’s face disappeared. She swept her gaze across the hall and noticed several people standing by the entrance.
Some of them had mics in their hands. Some were carrying heavy–duty cameras. She also spotted Kenny and Samuel sandwiched between them..
When her colleague noticed the frown on her face, he hastily said, “Don’t worry. We’ll handle this. Mr. Gardner Senior has already given us his orders.”
Skylar was about to leave when she received a call.
“Steven.”
“Skye, don’t go to work today. Just stay put at home, alright?” Steven intoned seriously.
Skylar’s frown deepened as she asked, “Steven, what’s going on?”
Did Steven find out just what the Williamses want?
That couldn’t be it.
Chapter 375
Her workistace was quite a distance away from Steven’s, So, there was no way Steven would know that Key and his posse had brought the media over to the company
If that were the case..
Skylar shot a glance at the entrance. She quickly noticed that Peter and Maisy weren’t there.
Did the two look for Steven?
just a minor matter. I can handle it.” Steven didn’t divulge anything, worried that Skylar would get upset.
Skyter could vaguely hear something familiar during her call with Steven. It seemed that he was taking the
train.
He should be at work at this hour. He was staying near his company. It should only take him a ten–minute walk to get to his office. There was no need for him to board a train.
Janine’s face suddenly flashed in Skylar’s mind.
“Steven, I’m already at work. I saw Kenny and the others bringing a group of reporters over to me. My colleagues say that they’ll handle it. Did Peter and Maisy do the same to Mom?”
Steven’s breathing came to a suspicious stop before he said, “Yes, they did exactly that. Mom didn’t answer the door.
worry and don’t
“So, they stayed out there like a pack of hyenas. I’m going home to deal with them. Don’t meet them. My friend said they want to use the media to force you into agreeing to their demands.”
Some of the netizens would be led by the nose and start criticizing Skylar. When that happened, Skylar would be forced to do as they pleased.
They were utterly despicable!
“Steven, just go to work. You can’t afford to show your face. I’ll be right over. Don’t you worry. I know how to handle these pests.” Skylar resolutely decided before Steven could persuade her otherwise.
She couldn’t dodge out of this mess now. Instead, she had to face them head–on.
She certainly didn’t want Steven and her family to be dragged into this farce.
Steven and her family would have nothing to gain but everything to lose once their faces were public knowledge.
Meanwhile, she had nothing to lose.
So, she immediately drove straight home. Thankfully, there were barely any red lights dragging her journey out. Within 30 minutes, she arrived at her destination.
There were already quite a few people congregating around her apartment complex. Since most of the
beople living there were elderly citizens, they were all retired and had nothing to do.
Although the media might not be able to gather a crowd in the usual areas, this was not the case here.
Skylar curled her lips into a cold smirk and climbed up the stairs.
Even the stairs were packed with people.
Some of her neighbors recognized her.
“Skylar, you’re home? The media’s asking for you.“.
The elderly lady looked at Skylar curiously.
Some of them couldn’t help but ask, “I heard your birth mother got into an accident and you didn’t even visit. Well, we don’t believe you’re someone like that. You… didn’t do that, did you?”
“She’s your birth mother, after all. It’s rather rude not to see her after she got into an accident, don’t you think?”
“That’s right. I even heard she’d lost her legs. All she wants is to see you. What kind of mother wouldn’t want to see their daughter?”
Skylar let those remarks roll off her like water off a duck’s back. She didn’t care about what they thought of her. The only thing she cared about was whether they had hurt Janine.
When she walked up to the seventh floor, the first thing that greeted her was the people working for the broadcasting station, Peter, and Maisy.
To make matters worse, Maisy was even trying to persuade Janine to open up. “Mom, just open the door. Peter and I just want to settle matters, that’s all.
“We just want to unravel the misunderstandings between my mother and Skylar. My mother’s condition is awful. She really wants to see Skylar.”
“Ms. Yancey, hiding away won’t solve matters. Please open the door,” advised one of the reporters.
The cameraman’s camera was already rolling, recording all the dilemmas the Williamses were facing. When this show aired, they would definitely attract the audience’s attention.
Chapter 376
Their show would always face some sort of crisis before finally ending happily. After all, it was a show meant to mediate conflict. If there weren’t any dilemmas, their show wouldn’t be aired at all.
“The person you’re looking for is here!” exclaimed one of the neighbors.
They immediately turned to the stairwell and noticed Skylar standing right there.
The host wasted no time rushing to her and drowning her in a deluge of questions. “Excuse me, are you Skylar?”
“In the past, I merely thought you were inhumane. Looks like I was wrong. You guys are worse than the dogs in the kennels!”
“Yet, you haven’t even looked into the core issue before approaching us. Who gave you the right to do so?”
Skylar had called Paul on her way home. She had urged him to introduce her to a lawyer before promptly dialing 911.
2/2
“Calling the cops and hiring a lawyer isn’t how you’re supposed to deal with your issues, Ms. Sullivan,
Peter took the chance to interject, “We’re here only with one goal in mind. You don’t have to be so hostile.”
Before he could do anything else, he received a call from John.
“They even wanted to use Gardner Group as a stepping stone to hype the whole show. God, I swear the

doesn’t matter what reason you have. It’s simply improper for you not to visit her. I understand that you didn’t grow up with your family. But you should be understanding. I’m sure your mother didn’t want that to
You’re such a good daughter toward your adoptive mother. Why are you so cold to your birth mother?”
Peter frowned as his expression turned awkward. “Mom wants you to take care of her at the hospital. She wants you to be with her in the future. Just move back in with us. That way, she can see you whenever
