Skylar nodded, ignoring Kenny and the others, and walked out.
Wait! Peter suddenly called out to Skylar,
Skylar turned around to look at him.
“Let’s leave it at this. We’re not planning on letting you go back to take care of Mom. Just visit her at the hospital and chat with her. After all, we are family, and everything can be discussed and resolved.
“There’s no need to bring a lawyer into this. What happened today was our fault.” Peter bit his lip as he spat those difficult words out. However, he had no choice but to say them.
“Peter, are you crazy? Why are you apologizing to her? We did nothing wrong. It’s all her fault!” Samuel glared at Peter. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Kenny frowned while Maisy looked absent–minded.
“Shut your mouth and don’t speak!” Peter immediately shouted.
The two of them were too dimwitted. Couldn’t they tell that the people Skylar brought weren’t to be trifled with? They were too slow to react.
In the face of Martin Group, they had no choice but to humble themselves. Otherwise, they may be in deep waters.
Samuel was startled.
Kenny’s face grew even darker.
Skylar looked at Peter with a half–smile, “If there’s anything else, talk to my lawyer.”
The production crew nearby didn’t dare to make a sound,
At this point, they were utterly baffled by the turn of events. They had dealt with difficult people before, but this was the first time someone had brought in a lawyer against them. And the lawyer was someone powerful.
With the show not fully recorded and certainly not ready for broadcast, they were in a mess and at a loss. for words. Even the director was stunned.
Skylar took note of their expressions before leaving.
Such an incident happened on her first day of work. She was in no mood to act polite with the Williamses or the production crew. It was clear they had taken bribes from Peter and conspired to set her up.
Skylar walked straight out of the police station.
Peter tensed up, and his eye’s filled with a chilling coldness. Skylar was so ungrateful! They gave her a way out, yet she refused to take it.
After Skylar left, Maisy rolled her eyes. She put on a pitiful face and approached Jacky. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

In a delicate and gentle voice, she asked, “Mr. Lourdes, how much did Skylar pay you?”
She couldn’t let it go and refused to believe it. Why was Skylar so lucky to catch Joe’s attention?
Skylar must have paid Jacky a large sum or promised him some benefit. As for what that benefit could be, it was apparent–it must be her body.
Jacky stared coldly at Maisy and muttered, “No comment.”
Maisy bit her red lips, “I was just asking, Mr. Lourdes. You don’t have to be so heartless, do you? Besides, whatever Skylar offered, we can match it.”
Jacky turned his gaze away. He had seen plenty of manipulative women in the workplace, and Maisy did
not stand out.
Maisy was upset that Jacky completely ignored her and looked at Kenny with teary eyes.
Feeling sorry for Maisy, Kenny walked over and gently said, “No need to waste your breath. It doesn’t matter how much Skylar paid the lawyer, we did nothing wrong today.”
Just as Skylar walked out of the police station, Joe called.
