Chapter 417
Samuel scoffed, “That's unlikely. Does Skylar have that much charm? Joe has plenty of women around
him.
“Any of them could easily outshine Skylar, so why would Joe be interested in her? | even saw her with a boy toy!”
In his eyes, Skylar, whom he disliked, was inferior to Maisy in every way.
Maisy met Kenny's gaze. With newfound determination, she spoke directly. “I'm positive. | saw Skylar and Joe

If Kenny had been the only one claiming this, Jeffrey might have hesitated and possibly even been reluctant to
take such a risk again.
Having mistakenly targeted the wrong person three times already, they had significantly offended John and
Jacky. It was a significant blow to the Williamses. Offending Joe on top of that would be self-
destructive.
“Seems like it might be true then,” Jeffrey conceded.
Samuel's face darkened. “How could Joe be interested in her? What's so good about her?”
Maisy secretly agreed with Samuel's doubts. She pondered what made Skylar so special. Joe must have
been misled by her words.
“She’s on Alexander's team and earns a substantial monthly salary, which says a lot about her capabilities. We
clearly misunderstood her before,” Sadie spoke up unexpectedly, defending Skylar.
From an outside perspective, Sadie finally realized how badly they had misjudged Skylar. Skylar had always been

scapegoat.
Samuel was incredulous. “Mom, why are you sticking up for Skylar? We all know what kind of person she
is, don't we?”
“Do we really? Do we truly understand her? We know what Joe's like. If he’s interested in Skylar, it means she
has qualities we're unaware of,” Sadie countered firmly.
“Qualities? I think Joe is just interested in her skills in bed.” Samuel sneered.
He held the belief that Joe was like any other fickle-minded man, solely interested in a woman's body, and
predicted he would soon abandon Skylar.
Sadie raised her hand to slap Samuel, but Jeffrey quickly intervened. “Enough! You've changed completely since
your accident. You're not thinking straight!”
“Mom, whether Skylar is a good person or not doesn’t matter. What matters is if she can help us. Dad said the
company is on the verge of bankruptcy. We can’t let that happen, Mom,” Maisy said gently.
On the surface, Maisy appeared respectful toward Sadie. However, inwardly, she was furious. She was

convinced that Sadie had lost her mind. Why was she defending Skylar?

There was no doubt in her mind that Sadie was not her biological mother. She felt that all her efforts to please
Sadie over the years had been wasted.
Sadie could now see through Maisy’s charade. She hadn't been able to see it before, but now she deeply
regretted it. She wondered why she had always favored Maisy and neglected Skylar, who deserved her
love and care the most.
“She’s completely disappointed in us and has distanced herself. Finding her won't help,” Sadie said coldly.
Over the past few days, Sadie had becincreasingly clear-headed. Since her accident, Kenny and the
others had relentlessly pressured Skylar.
Skylar’s choice to escalate the situation rather than return hmade it clear that she didn’t care if the
Williams family went bankrupt.

“We also need to find a way to meet with Joe,” Kenny added.
Samuel's expression darkened. “Have we really cto this?”
The weight of their situation hit him hard. No acting jobs, no work, no income. Their family was on the verge of
collapse.
Sadie took a deep breath. “Alright,” she conceded.
At this point, they had no other choice. Besides, she, too, yearned to see Skylar.
