Chapter 418
Skylar remained oblivious to the Williams family’s schemes.
The next day, as she clocked in for work, Steven called to inform her that Kenny had resigned. The company executives had been considering firing him anyway.
Charles also mentioned that Samuel’s career in the entertainment industry was over. No one would hire an actor with such a damaged reputation.
The Williams family’s situation was dire, and desperate people could sometimes lash out.
“So, if you encounter anyone from the Williams family, keep your distance,” Steven cautioned anxiously.
News of the Williams family’s troubles had spread throughout the company, and the situation was no longer a secret in Jipsburg City.

After ending the call with Natalie, Skylar headed to the restroom, rubbing her lower back. She had barely managed to get out of bed that morning. Joe had kept her up most of the night.
A sharp pang shot through her as she noticed her slightly swollen lips in the mirror.
Yesterday, Joe’s kiss had been unusually passionate. After they became entangled in bed, he’d kissed her deeply for a long time.
For a fleeting moment, Skylar even thought he might have developed feelings for her, given the intensity
of the kiss.
Just then, a colleague entered and greeted her. Skylar immediately pushed aside her inappropriate
