Chapter 127
“How could this happen? I was under the impression that Joe and Maisy were in a relationship,” Samuel voiced his disappointment.
“Let’s drop it,” Jeffrey interjected. He was clearly annoyed.
Maisy had confided in some friends about her intentions to marry Joe. It led to one of them sharing a photograph in their group chat.
The photograph captured Joe and Annie at John’s engagement party.
They hadn’t received an invitation to John’s engagement celebration.
This exclusion stemmed from the Williams family’s inability to penetrate the social circles to which John and Joe belonged.
Maisy was mortified by this.
“Where’s Skylar? It’s already past six, and she’s still not back,” Samuel remarked irritably.
There was a heavy air of gloom over the bedroom.
Skylar had just returned to Williams Residence. It was a little over a month since she had moved out.
It felt surreal, like a dream.
The housekeepers, who were fond of Skylar, greeted her quietly upon her arrival. One of them whispered, ” Ms. Williams, your parents are upstairs. You’re all family here. If you just acknowledge your mistake, I’m
sure they won’t be hard on you.”
Skylar was favored by the Williams family housekeepers compared to Maisy, mainly because she treated
them with respect and never acted superior.
Without saying much, Skylar responded, “I’ll go up and check on them.”
On her way upstairs, she turned on the voice recorder hidden in her bag
Reaching the door of Sadie’s bedroom, she overheard Samuel’s criticism toward her. “She doesn’t act like we’re family. If she cared, knowing Mom is ill, she’d be worried, concerned, and definitely would have
visited.”
Skylar inwardly scoffed. In her previous life, an incident left Sadie paraplegic. None of them had shown her any concern.
They would complain about the smell whenever they approached her room and swiftly leave.
“Do you even consider me part of this family?” Skylar stood defiantly at the door as she was unwilling to step inside. Her biting, sarcastic tone startled everyone. They immediately turned towards her.
“So, I thought you’d never return.” Samuel sneered.
“Wasn’t it you who had my mom call me, desperately trying to bring me back? If you hadn’t reached out to
her, do you think I’d have wanted to set foot in this horse? Skylar retorted with a smirk.
Sadie felt a pang of confusion and dismay at how Skylar wasn’t referring to her as “Mom”
“Why is Skylar being so aggressive toward us? she wondered silently

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
