The host’s eyes gradually widened. She turned to look at Peter in disbelief.
That wasn’t in the script? Weren’t they being utterly outrageous with their terms?
Soon, the host came to a realization. She had heard that affluent families weren’t as peaceful and idyllic as they appeared. Now, it seemed that those rumors were right, and they were bullying innocent people.
“How much can you pay me monthly? Give me an estimate.” Skylar looked at her watch. Jacky told her he would arrive in another ten minutes.

“Youll get about two thousand per month. This is more than enough for your daily needs. I’m sure only getting paid about one grand, yes?” Peter couldn’t help the snobby tone tingeing his voice the second they started discussing wages. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Two thousand was quite a sum for most people working in Jipsburg. Besides, Skylar was a new hire. How much could she possibly earn?
Maisy couldn’t help but frown in dissatisfaction upon hearing his words. Why was he paying Skylar two thousand just to take care of their mother?
The maids–working for them were only getting paid one thousand! Wasn’t Peter being far too kind toward Skylar?
He might as well be giving Skylar the money for free!
Once the pretentious looks on the siblings‘ faces appeared, the wisened audiences immediately figured something was amiss.
“Do you know how much I’m earning per month?” Skylar couldn’t help the chuckle escaping her lips. She had no idea where Peter had the audacity to act so haughty.
“It doesn’t matter how much you earn. The point here is to be a dutiful daughter. Isn’t that right, Ms. Sullivan?” The host hastily tried to clean up the mess the siblings hád made.

Skylar turned her attention to the host and said, “If being a dutiful child is so important, why aren’t you teaching them how to care for their mother in the hospital?
“Why are you dragging me into this farce? They refuse to do the dirty work. So, they’re foisting it off on me. A person who doesn’t even share the same last name as them. Are you telling me this is legal?”
“Why does this whole thing feel so off? They claim they’re family but Skylar’s so–called brother is so mean to Skylar.”
“I feel the same! She’s right. Why aren’t they the ones taking care of their mother? What right do they have to make her resign just to take care of someone else?
“I heard Janine say that Skylar’s doing well at work. Also, she had just joined the workforce quite recently. Aren’t they just being bullies?”
their mother. The longer I think about it, the weirder things are for me.”
Skylar overheard her neighbors‘ whispered discussion and thought, “The Williamses are merely one rotten apple in a batch of good apples. Most people do have solid moral principles and good
judgment.”
Did the Williamses think that they were geniuses while everyone else was an empty–headed fool?
When the host noticed the tide shifting against them, she nearly burst a vein out of frustration.
So, she turned to Peter and hissed frantically, “Are you perhaps mistaken? You actually meant you just want Ms. Sullivan to visit your mother often, am I right?”
Of course, they didn’t want things to end with just a visit or two. Still, a crowd had gathered around them, and they were all defending Skylar.
Peter frowned as he couldn’t play along with the host’s words. What was the point of arranging all this if he only wanted Skylar to visit? He was clearly doing this to force Skylar to take care of Sadie.
“I’ve considered this a great deal. She loses nothing if she resigns. I’m sure the wages we give her are better than what she’s earning now.
“Plus, she’ll just be taking care of our mother. It’s a perfect job for a woman.” Peter was no longer as harsh with his words as before. Nonetheless, he refused to change his stance on the matter.
The host nearly rolled her eyes at the man. In the end, she could only change tactics and said to Skylar, “I think he has a point. Work doesn’t pay good money nowadays.
“If you take care of your mother, they’ll pay you better than the market rate. Isn’t this a win for you? Actually, both of you will be winners here.”
“I earn at least ten thousand per month. Can they afford to double that? Skylar asked the host expressionlessly.
“Skylar, are you dreaming with that amount?” Peter growled angrily.
Just then, someone who lived across Janine had just returned. They commented, “It’s not impossible. 4 heard Janine say that Skylar is a dutiful child.
“A few days ago, she even bought a house. The family will be moving to their new home after they refurbish their home. Skylar’s amazing!”
The host felt her face drain of all color upon hearing those words.
