NovelEnglishChapter 169 Skylar's initial impression of Annie, formed during their encounter at the club, had been somewhat favorable. After all, beauty tended to catch the eye. However, Annie's recent investigation into Skylar had changed her opinion.
"Your foster family isn't exactly well off. This one million dollars could really change their lives, Ms.
Sullivan. I suggest you consider the offer before it's too late," Annie said, visibly annoyed by Skylar's cold response from earlier till now.
Just as Maisy had warned, Skylar's greed knew no bounds. If not for her greed, the whole Williams family wouldn't have disliked her either.

Since she was young, Skylar had a habit when dealing with people she wasn't close to. If they treated her rudely when she was in a good mood, she would have simply brushed it off. But if she weren't, she would be ruthless.
It wasn't too obvious before she got reborn back in time. But now, why should she let this woman, Annie, get away with it? "It was a few million dollars. Did he really give you all that cash?" Annie asked, surprised. She had heard from Rowan about Skylar's Incredible luck that night. The other three had lost terribly.
At the time, Joe had indeed promised to cover the losses, and Skylar was to keep all the winnings. Originally just a courteous gesture, but unexpectedly, Joe followed through and handed Skylar the e money.
No wonder Skylar found the offer underwhelming compared to Joe's casual spending of several million dollars. It only fueled her greed, Annie thought.
"Mr. Martin always keeps his promises," Skylar said confidently.
Skylar felt Annie was running out of excuses. She didn't know much about Joe either. Even if it hadn't been her that night, Joe would have kept his promise regardless.
Annie's face turned pale. There was obvious hostility and anger in her eyes. "Nyour price." "Even if I were to negotiate, I should talk to Mr. Martin. How much could you possibly offer? Ms. Silver, you'd better keep this check. If you ever want to kick someone out next time, you'll have to be prepared enough." Skylar tapped the one million dollar check on the table.
Angered by Skylar's provocation, Annie took a deep breath, "This is your final chance, Skylar. Miss it, and when Joe gets tired of you, I'll ensure you won't survive a day in Jipsburg. I've dug up plenty on your foster family. Think long and hard. You're not alone now. You've got a whole family to consider." "So, what you're saying is, take the money and leave, or else you'll threaten my family's safety? You're 16 Chapter 169 quite powerful, Ms. Silver, People might reckon you could rule Jipsburg City alone," Skylar sneered.
Skylar had once admired Annie's professionalism, but now she saw her in a different light. Annie was no different from Maisy and the rest. Birds of a feather, indeed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It seems you've got it all figured out." Annie narrowed her eyes.
Annie had many methods to deal with such a young lass. She didn't mind teaching Skylar a lesson if she refused to take the offer. Skylar would then face the consequences of offending her, Annie Silver, in Jipsburg.
"Mr. Martin, did you catch all of that?" Skylar suddenly spoke into her phone.
Annie's expression changed. "You! Did you call Joe?" Didn't that mean Joe had heard it all?
"Ms. Silver, you chere with a million dollars to to humiliateand to threaten my family. Haven't you heard of live and let live?
"Mr. Martin had heard our entire conversation, and I even recorded it. If this goes to the police, Ms. Silver, I may not be famous, but can you handle the public scrutiny?
Skylar wasn't one to be easily intimidated. Annie had pushed her too far by threatening her family. This mess was Joe's doing, and he should be the one to clean it up.
