Chapter 293
“This is between Skye and me. Outsiders should stay out of it!” Christopher rebuked in a clipped tone, his face stern.
Skylar remained indifferent. With Christopher repeatedly showing up, her emotions. had already become numb to his presence.
“I forgive you,” Skylar said icily.
Caleb became anxious. “Sky-”
Alexander held him back. “Let her finish.”
In his mind, Skylar wasn’t someone easily swayed by sweet talk. Perhaps if she didn’t know the true nature of her ex–boyfriend, she might have forgiven him.
But knowing what kind of person he truly was, forgiveness seemed impossible.
Besides, Skylar was already married to Joe.
“You really forgive me?” Christopher’s eyes widened in delight.
Skylar continued coldly, “The only way I can forgive you is if you–drop dead right now.”
Caleb couldn’t help but laugh. Skylar was truly direct and uncompromising.
Christopher stared at her in disbelief. “Skye… after all these years? It was just one
mistake. And it’s a mistake all men make. Do you really hate me that much?”
“Security, escort this man to the police station and make sure he never approaches
our employees again,” Alexander instructed the approaching security guard.
“Yes, Mr. Gardner Senior!” the head of security responded, moving toward
Christopher.
Skylar thanked Alexander, “Sorry you had to witness that.”
She had underestimated Christopher’s shamelessness.
A mistake all en make?
His self–righteousness was appalling. Despite all her youthful affection and the
Despite everything, he didn’t seem to be in dire straits financially.
Skylar’s mind raced. After Amelia’s surgery, Christopher should have been strapped for cash. Yet, he didn’t appear worried about money at all.
A troubling thought crossed her mind–the video she had once seen. Could Christopher have profited illegally from that video?
The thought of Christopher and Maisy turning on each other, tearing each other apart in a vicious cycle of betrayal and revenge, flashed through Skylar’s mind.
As she stared at the traffic light ahead, her gaze hardened, growing colder by the second.
At Martin Group, Joe finished signing the last document and then called Paul into his
office.
“What’s the situation with the Williams family?” Joe asked.
“They should be on the brink of bankruptcy by now. I haven’t been following closely, but I’ll check right away.“.
Paul was somewhat surprised. Why was Joe bringing up the Williams family on his
own initiative?
In the past few days, Joe had visibly been in high spirits, which was very different
from his usual unreadable demeanor.
Perhaps it was all related to Skylar, Paul silently praised.
“Don’t give the Williamses any breathing room,” Joe ordered solemnly.
“Understood. I’ll take care of it right away,” Paul responded, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Knowing Joe’s ruthless methods, if the Williams family didn’t even get a chance to
breathe, it wouldn’t be long before their debts piled up high, and they might not even have a place to live.
The Williamses were utterly blind! If only they had been good to Skylar, everything
would have turned out good for them.
After Paul left, Joe took out his phone and checked WhatsApp.
