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.
Despite his busy filming schedule, Charles managed to warn Skylar via WhatsApp. He advised her to be
cautious around the Williams family and to call them immediately if she faced any trouble. He wouldn't
tolerate her being bullied.
Next, she received a phone call from Natalie.

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 becentangled 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
thoughts and returned to work.
Later that afternoon, after work, Skylar received a surprising message from a high school classmate with
