Chapter 375
Her workistace was quite a distance away from Steven’s, So, there was no way Steven would know that Key and his posse had brought the media over to the company
If that were the case..
Skylar shot a glance at the entrance. She quickly noticed that Peter and Maisy weren’t there.
Did the two look for Steven?
just a minor matter. I can handle it.” Steven didn’t divulge anything, worried that Skylar would get upset.
Skyter could vaguely hear something familiar during her call with Steven. It seemed that he was taking the
train.
He should be at work at this hour. He was staying near his company. It should only take him a ten–minute walk to get to his office. There was no need for him to board a train.
Janine’s face suddenly flashed in Skylar’s mind.
“Steven, I’m already at work. I saw Kenny and the others bringing a group of reporters over to me. My colleagues say that they’ll handle it. Did Peter and Maisy do the same to Mom?”
Steven’s breathing came to a suspicious stop before he said, “Yes, they did exactly that. Mom didn’t answer the door.
worry and don’t
“So, they stayed out there like a pack of hyenas. I’m going home to deal with them. Don’t meet them. My friend said they want to use the media to force you into agreeing to their demands.”
Some of the netizens would be led by the nose and start criticizing Skylar. When that happened, Skylar would be forced to do as they pleased.
They were utterly despicable!
“Steven, just go to work. You can’t afford to show your face. I’ll be right over. Don’t you worry. I know how to handle these pests.” Skylar resolutely decided before Steven could persuade her otherwise.
She couldn’t dodge out of this mess now. Instead, she had to face them head–on.
She certainly didn’t want Steven and her family to be dragged into this farce.
Steven and her family would have nothing to gain but everything to lose once their faces were public knowledge.
Meanwhile, she had nothing to lose.
So, she immediately drove straight home. Thankfully, there were barely any red lights dragging her journey out. Within 30 minutes, she arrived at her destination.
There were already quite a few people congregating around her apartment complex. Since most of the
beople living there were elderly citizens, they were all retired and had nothing to do.
Although the media might not be able to gather a crowd in the usual areas, this was not the case here.
Skylar curled her lips into a cold smirk and climbed up the stairs.
Even the stairs were packed with people.
Some of her neighbors recognized her.
“Skylar, you’re home? The media’s asking for you.“.
The elderly lady looked at Skylar curiously.
Some of them couldn’t help but ask, “I heard your birth mother got into an accident and you didn’t even visit. Well, we don’t believe you’re someone like that. You… didn’t do that, did you?”
“She’s your birth mother, after all. It’s rather rude not to see her after she got into an accident, don’t you think?”
“That’s right. I even heard she’d lost her legs. All she wants is to see you. What kind of mother wouldn’t want to see their daughter?”
Skylar let those remarks roll off her like water off a duck’s back. She didn’t care about what they thought of her. The only thing she cared about was whether they had hurt Janine.
When she walked up to the seventh floor, the first thing that greeted her was the people working for the broadcasting station, Peter, and Maisy.
To make matters worse, Maisy was even trying to persuade Janine to open up. “Mom, just open the door. Peter and I just want to settle matters, that’s all.
“We just want to unravel the misunderstandings between my mother and Skylar. My mother’s condition is awful. She really wants to see Skylar.”
“Ms. Yancey, hiding away won’t solve matters. Please open the door,” advised one of the reporters.
The cameraman’s camera was already rolling, recording all the dilemmas the Williamses were facing. When this show aired, they would definitely attract the audience’s attention.
