Janine sighed helplessly. “Let go and get up.”
Then she turned to Skylar.
“Skye.”
“Mom, I was just passing by and thought I’d drop in,” Skylar said.
She walked over to the table, poured herself a glass of water, and poured one for Harvey. She asked Harvey, “Why are you home today?”
“I came back to get some things and happened to see this brat shamelessly clinging to Mom,” Harvey said angrily. “I figured she was here to put on a show for someone else. Does she think everyone would foolishly be used by her?”
The more he looked at Maisy, the more annoyed he became.
Maisy blushed deeply. “It’s not like that.”
“Your mother just had a car accident and needs someone to take care of her. Leaving now would be ungrateful. Go back and take care of her,” Janine said with a stern face.
7-”
Maisy looked at Skylar and begged, “Skylar, you know Mom’s temper. She’s very upset with me right now, and is always constantly scolding me. I can’t stay there. Can we get along in the future?”
She also wanted to take the opportunity to find out what Skylar and Joe’s relationship was.
Skylar raised an eyebrow and remained silent. Nothing Maisy says could be taken seriously.
“You can’t stay because she’s upset with you? She raised you for nothing. You are truly selfish. I’m younger than you, and even I know how to be grateful. You’re clearly just avoiding responsibility. Don’t assume others are as brainless as you,” Harvey said, rolling his eyes.
Then he stepped forward and forcefully dragged Maisy away, violently pushing her out of the house. With a loud bang, he slammed the door shut.
He had wanted to do that earlier. He only held back because of his mom.
Janine sighed, “She’s really been spoiled.”
Some ideas had been deeply ingrained in her as she grew up in a family like that..
Skylar said nothing but showed Janine her phone with the news on it. Janine rarely used social media and was shocked when she saw the news and photos.
“They are really inhumane!”
Although Sadie wasn’t a good woman, she had already suffered enough from the car accident. That was enough punishment.
But to have her husband and children be to cold and cruet? Anyone would break under that. It was a wonder she hadn’t gone mad already.
After chatting with Janine and Harvey briefly, Skylar went downstairs to leave. She received a call from
Joe
“Why arent you home yet?”
“I stopped by my mom’s place. I’m heading back now. Are you home already? Skylar asked as she walked toward her car.
The old neighborhood had no parking space, so she had parked far away.
Joe answered, “Yes. Want to go out for dinner?”
Skylar suddenly thought of what Natalie had said about Jeremy being too busy to come home.
Joe, as the company head, managed to be home most nights except for occasional business trips.
“Answer me,” Joe said after hearing a minute of silence on the phone.
Skylar snapped out of her thoughts. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“Sorry, I was just thinking about something and spaced out. Let’s go out for dinner. What do you want to eat?”
“Barbecue?” Joe suggested.
Skylar knew Joe wasn’t a big fan of barbecue. She remembered the restaurant she and Natalie had coincidentally run into Joe at the last time.
“Let’s go to that restaurant we ran into each other at last time.”
“Okay.”
As Skylar drove away, Maisy emerged from the shadows.
“Restaurant?” She quickly ran out, hailed a cab, and said, “Follow that car!”
