Chapter 322
Steven had just clocked in for work and was about to sit down when Kenny approached him, looking worn -out. Steven just couldn’t seem to like Kenny.
“What do you want?” Steven asked after glancing up at Kenny.
Kenny’s eyes were bloodshot, a sign that he hadn’t slept well last night.
“I’ve taken a leave from work. Starting today, I’ll be coming in every other day,” Kenny announced.
Steven’s patience was wearing thin. “Why do I need to know this?”
“Of course you have to! Do you know why I had to take leave? My mom was in a car accident and had her legs amputated.
“She’s bedridden and needs constant care now. But Skylar only came to the hospital on the day of the surgery and then vanished. We can’t reach her at all,” Kenny said, his voice rising in frustration.
A car accident and an amputation? Steven was taken aback. “Your family’s issues are not my concern.”
“How is it not your concern? Skylar is your sister, too. She’s my mom’s biological daughter.
“She should be by my mom’s side now and taking care of her wholeheartedly. Instead, she disappeared without a word.” Kenny said while his frown deepened.
Steven sneered. “You’ve never treated Skye like your family before. But now that there’s trouble, you want to guilt–trip her? Do you even have the right to do that?

“But we all have jobs and can’t spare the time. Only Skye- Kenny began to argue.
Steven’s expression turned grim because of Kenny’s brazen entitlement.
He continued, “Skye has a great job, and her job is better than any of yours, I’d say. Just because your family is out of touch with reality, don’t assume everyone else is as clueless.

Instinctively, Kenny denied, “She can’t possibly compare-”
He stopped short, realizing the truth. The Williamses had always seen Skylar differently. In their eyes,
Skylar was of a lower status.
They had dismissed her as increasingly insignificant. No matter how much she contributed–it was always overlooked, as if that were the norm.
This sudden realization hit Kenny hard. His muscles became tense with the new awareness. Stiffly, he
turned and left.
Steven watched Kenny leave with a cold expression. “Shameless.”

He knew Skylar was on vacation and now felt even more protective of her after knowing the Williams family’s despicable intentions.
2/2
The next morning, Skylar woke up to find it was already past ten o’clock, and Joe had left.
After showering and getting dressed, she searched for her phone on the bed, only to find that it had fallen
to the floor.
Joe had left her a message. He had left at 7:00 am and instructed her to call the hotel’s butler for
breakfast.
He’d also mentioned that he had arranged for Paul to accompany her today, emphasizing that it wasn’t

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....
