Chapter 166
Charles nodded in confusion, “Yes, I’m Charles Sullivan.”
“There’s no mistake then, Mr. Sullivan. Please go inside and have a look. If there’s any issue, you can give
me a call.”
“Oh? Okay.”
With a mix of confusion and fear of being kicked out at any moment, Charles gritted his teeth and went
inside.
He thought that this might be Samuel’s retaliation. The villa might be rigged with something to embarrass
him.
However, Charles wasn’t easily frightened by Samuel’s attempts to intimidate him. Upon entering, there
was no sign of any funny business. He meticulously checked each room, and there was no one. Even
everything seemed normal inside the fridge.
It didn’t seem like someone was trying to cause trouble..
Charles hadn’t lived in a villa before and rarely had scenes filmed in one. Hence, he was a little curious
and explored every corner.
Finally, he felt relieved. “Huh, even if they have made a mistake, I’m not at a loss today. Maybe I just got
lucky?”
Just as he was about to message Skylar about this, he saw a bunch of people mentioning him in the group chat. He was even more bewildered and had no idea how to respond.
Weren’t these people usually quite arrogant? Why were they addressing him by his first name and acting all chummy now?
Samuel read all the messages directed at Charles and was enraged. He immediately started a private message with Charles. “Did Skylar make a deal with her sugar daddy so that you could stay at the villa? No one even knows the kind of person she is with. But hey, you must be enjoying perks.”
Seething w
with dissatisfaction, Samuel called Peter. “Have you figured out who Skylar’s sugar daddy is? He must be powerful enough to strong–arm our film crew. Now, Charles has the nerve to act high and mighty, and everyone’s kissing up to him. Fuck! I really want to kill him!”
Peter was feeling harried. He hadn’t been home for a few days and had been staying at the company.
Even his white shirt was wrinkled.
Without the energy to console Samuel, he said, “I haven’t found out who’s backing her. But I can confirm it’s someone close to the Jakeman family. Only they have the power to suppress us. How much money do you have now?”
“I don’t have much. I’ve spent almost all the money I earned over the years,” Samuel admitted, lacking the concept of saving money.

Peter fell silent for a few minutes. “Let’s find on opportunity to meet Skylar together. I found out she’s working in Mr. Gardner Senior’s team.”
“Mr. Gardner Senior’s team? Is she working as a cleaner there? She’s really embarrassing us.” Samuel was convinced that Skylar couldn’t possibly hold a respectable position there.
Rubbing his temples, Peter said, “It’s not certain yet. It’s also possible she’s been placed there to gain a good reputation.”
“That’s disgusting.”
“If there’s nothing else, just hang up. There’s too much going on in the company right now. We might not be able to hold on for much longer.” Peter had a hunch that their company’s downfall was approaching. They might end up burdened with enormous debts.
Samuel was astonished. “Our company’s so big. It can’t possibly go under, right?”
Could it really be that serious?
“We’ll go
to Gardner Group on Monday.” Peter didn’t elaborate further and just told him the time.
Samuel rolled his eyes. “Do you really have to be this terrified?”
The Williams family was prominent in Jipsburg. Besides, the company had been operating for so many years. How could it go bankrupt just because of a few minor difficulties?
They would overcome them eventually, right?
After hanging up, Samuel noticed that Charles ha
