Chapter 73
Just as Skylar answered the call, Natalie’s voice erupted from the phone with a stream of curses.
“That bitch Maisy is unbelievable! First, she quelled the buzz about this issue, and now she claims that the person in the video isn’t her. Then, she hired a woman who looks like her from afar to say that she’s the one who’s frequently seen with Christopher!
“Maisy has completely cleared her name! Even Christopher says that the person in the photos and videos is all that woman. It’s that woman who has a crush on him, and the video was taken out of conte
“What’s worse is that the woman has come forward to admit it and apologize for causing trouble for Christopher and Maisy. With some fake comments, Maisy and Christopher are suddenly innocent!”
Skylar sneered. “They must have spent a lot of money on this plan.”
“What goes around comes around. They’ll get their karma for sure. My dear Skye, I’m going to go crazy with their antics. Don’t stand me up tonight, okay?” Natalie reminded Skylar.
“I won’t. See you at 6:00 pm.”
After ending the call, Skylar noticed Joe looking at her.
Her lips parted slightly. The matter had ended just like this, leaving her with mixed feelings. She didn’t know what to say to him.
However, Joe spoke first. “Do the Williamses treat you poorly?”
It was a question she had been hearing a lot these days, but she never expected Joe to ask her too.
She looked ahead. Her gaze was deep as if hiding some unspeakable troubles, but she replied calmly,” They have nothing to do with me.”
Although she didn’t directly answer his question, her statement made it clear enough.
Joe glanced at her thoughtfully.
Maisy stared at her card, which only had a hundred thousand dollars left, with a dark expression.
Five million dollars! That woman had asked for five million dollars!
The person she had hired to clear her name online was Amy Wright, her former college classmate.
Amy had undergone several plastic surgeries during college to look just like Maisy. When they graduated from college, many classmates thought Amy was her sister or at least related.
Back then, she had thought Amy was sick, but she didn’t expect her to actually be of use. However, Amy was being too greedy, demanding five million dollars at the drop of a hat. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
But considering her reputation, five million dollars was nothing–as long as it didn’t affect her marriage to
Joe.
Noticing Maisy’s low spirits, Samuel said, “I’d feel upset in your shoes too. Now that everyone knows you’ve been wronged, let Skylar apologize to you when she comes back. She’s always jumping to conclusions. She should take this as a lesson and reflect on her actions.”
“Samuel, give Skye a call and ask her to come back today. We need to have a serious conversation as a family,” Sadie said.
For some reason, she felt uneasy thinking about Skylar, like she had done something wrong.
Samuel rolled his eyes. “I’ve tried calling her, Mom, but she won’t answer. Let’s not bother with her. Look at all the trouble she’s been causing lately. I’m embarrassed to have a sister like her.”
“Maisy, why don’t you call her?” Sadie suggested.
Maisy felt even worse. Why was Sadie suddenly so concerned about Skylar these past few days?
Yet she kept her displeasure to herself. “Fine, I’ll call her now.”
The phone rang for a long time, but it was left unanswered.
Maisy looked at Sadie helplessly. “Mom, she isn’t picking up my calls. We don’t even know where she’s staying. How can we find her?”
She thought that Skylar might be lying in the arms of some old man, doing some despicable acts to please him. How could she have time to answer her calls?
Sadie frowned. “I’ll call Janine and ask how she raised Skye. How could she teach Skye to be a mistress? My daughter has been corrupted by her.”
