Charles narrowed his eyes, sensing something amiss. “Steven, are you keeping something from me?” “There are indeed matters at hand, but it is not the right time for you to know. You’ll find out soon enough, “Steven replied, aware that Skylar was arranging a meeting between their family and Joe.
Charles didn’t probe further. “Alright. By the way, since you brought Annie back home last time, you
haven’t mentioned her. I’ve heard some rumors lately–she was fired from the TV station, and her family is going through some trouble. Do you-
“I’m fine. We’ve broken up,” Steven calmly interjected. He had ended things with Annie recently, and only Skylar knew about it.
Charles was taken aback. “You broke up?”
“It wasn’t because of the Silver family’s troubles. There were other issues that I couldn’t tolerate,” Steven briefly explained.
Charles furrowed his brows. He recalled some rumors he had previously dismissed as unfounded. He had wholly trusted Steven’s judgment. Since Steven had chosen Annie, he believed she was worth trusting. But now it seemed the rumors might have been true.
“Alright. Steven, if you need someone to drink with, just call me. I’m preparing for my next role, so I’ve got some time to join you for a drink,” Charles immediately offered.
Steven agreed, “Okay. I’m going to take a shower.”
“Yeah, I should get to bed too.”
Charles looked at his phone after the call ended. He contemplated Steven’s words. He thought it was probably just his overthinking.
Since that was the case, Charles decided to stop thinking about it. There was no need to dwell on it. After all, Steven had said he would find out the reason soon.
That was true. Eventually, he would find out if Joe had a real interest in men. As long as he stayed clear of any involvement, what happened today would be just a misunderstanding.

The following day, Skylar went back to work after a brief break.
When Alexander learned she was coming to work, he called to check on her health and even suggested she take more time off. After Skylar reassured him she was okay, Alexander agreed to
let her return to work.
There were no new tasks, just the ones she had been working on before she went to Liberty County. These tasks were critical and could only be completed by her.
She worked diligently throughout the day and had takeout for lunch.
By the end of the workday, Caleb sent her a message on WhatsApp informing her that he would return in two days.
Skylar was pleased to hear that Caleb was returning Some routine processes required his help, which would speed up their progress.
In the parking lot, just as she was getting into her car, someone suddenly opened the passenger door and got in.

Skylar looked at the unexpected intruder who had just barged in. It was Kenny..
“Get out,” Skylar said sharply.
“I’m your brother. What’s with your attitude? You haven’t been home to check on us. When there’s trouble at home, you don’t help. Now that I’m here, this is how you treat me?” Kenny replied.
He was more brazen than before. He had once taken pride in being a distinguished heir of the Williams family and maintained a certain decorum. But now, after his fall from grace, his audacity had grown even more shameless.
