Chapter 571
The small Elden Residence’s living room was in shambles, and an unpleasant odor permeated the air.
The neighbors had come knocking again. “What’s going on at your place? It smells awful! Can you do something about it? If there’s a cleanliness issue, you need to clean up.”
“Alright, we’re cleaning up now,” Peter replied curtly.
The neighbor had nothing more to say and left. Peter turned back to look at the messy living room. Then, he glanced at Sadie, who lay on the couch.
Once a wealthy socialite, she now resembled a beggar. The stench almost entirely came from her.
Peter was out delivering food every day and had no time to take care of Sadie. Kenny stayed home all the time.
However, he only ate, slept, or drank. He remained listless.
On the other hand, Samuel was out every day and rarely brought home any money.
Peter could barely handle this situation any longer. He walked a few steps to the guest bedroom and slapped Kenny, who was fast asleep on the bed.
Kenny was jolted awake by Peter’s slap. He furiously retaliated, ” Peter, have you lost your mind? I’m your brother. How dare you hit
me!”
Peter’s response was sharp. “Don’t think being my brother gives you special privileges. Even if you were my father, I’d still hit you.

to be the head of our family, yet you stay home every day. All you do is eat, drink, and sleep while spending the money that I earn.
“On top of that, you don’t even clean up the house. Look at Mom- just look at what she’s become. If you don’t clean up the house and take care of Mom today, then you’d better leave!”
Kenny felt deeply wronged. He said, “Why should I be kicked out? It’s your incompetence that led to the company’s bankruptcy. If it weren’t for you, I’d still be the scion of the Williams family.”
“Dream on! You’re the useless one. You have hands and feet, but don’t think about supporting yourself. Instead, you shift the responsibility onto me.
“Don’t forget, you could live so comfortably only because I was working tirelessly in the company.” Peter cut through the pretense and pointed out the harsh truth.
“You!”
Peter grabbed Kenny by the collar and dragged him to where Sadie was lying. “Get Mom cleaned up.”
Kenny hadn’t properly looked at Sadie for days. She lay with her eyes open but unfocused. She didn’t look at either Kenny or Peter.
She just kept murmuring, “It’s retribution. It’s all retribution.”
“I can’t stand this anymore. I’m going to find Skylar. I’m going to find her,” Kenny declared. He tried to storm out.
Peter let him go. He was also curious if Skylar really had abandoned them.
Skylar was rear–ended on her way to Natalie’s house after work.

The vehicle that hit her was a Maserati.
She got out to assess the damage!
The owner of the Maserati was also a woman. She walked over in high heels.

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....
