Chapter 432
Jeffrey wouldn’t be swayed no matter how Peter tried to coax him out of it.
The second they left Pearlhall Residence, Joe had caught wind of what had gone down.
Upon being told that Jeffrey and his son had been so reckless as to disturb Gloria, Joe lit a cigarette. After a moment, he puffed out a cloud of black smoke.
Then, he called Jacky and said, “Give the police the evidence detailing the crimes committed by the Williams family.”
Jeffrey had no idea what he’d brought onto himself. He’d done as he’d pleased for too long and had forgotten the taste of failure.
When he arrived outside Martin Group and got barred from entering yet again, embarrassment morphed into fury.
“Let me in! Do you hear me? Let me in right now! I want to see your boss. Don’t you know who I am? I’m Mr. Martin’s girlfriend’s father. If you keep denying me access, I’ll ensure Mr. Martin makes you pay!”
Standing beside him, Peter shivered upon seeing what was happening. Trouble seemed to cast a shadow over everything from the very start.
“Mr. Martin’s girlfriend? He doesn’t have one. Where has this madman come from? Your attempt to suck up to Mr. Martin is pathetic. How shameless!”
The head of security roared, “Fuck off!”
He wouldn’t entertain Jeffrey’s nonsense.
Jeffrey exploded with fury. He shot back, “Call him if you don’t believe me!”
The guard had received instructions explicitly stating that if the two of them entered the building, he would be fired immediately. Thus, he ordered, “Stop fucking around!
He wouldn’t be able to find a second company with such an excellent salary and lucrative bonuses. He had a family to feed. He wasn’t going to lose his job. Jeffrey and Peter had been pulling all–nighters for the past few days. They were extremely unfit and got pushed to the side of the street easily.
They couldn’t even get close to the building.
Jeffrey flushed in anger. He felt like he was going to collapse any time. He announced, “I’ve never been as embarrassed as this since I came to Jipsburg City! Joe, believe me or not, I can stop Skylar from being with you. I’m her dad. She has to listen to me!”
Peter froze.
A few months ago, his words might’ve been intimidating.
However, Skylar had drawn a line between her life and theirs. Peter suddenly came to the realization that Skylar no longer treated them as family.
Chapter 432
When he reflected on their past, he found that the Williamses had never treated Skylar as part of their family either.
Even the stupidest person would come to their senses and sever all ties with them. How could they expect Skylar to continue being ordered around by them? Did she deserve to sacrifice everything for them? What had they done for her?
The more Peter thought the more his face paled.
What followed was even more astounding.

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....
