Chapter 82
After Paul left the building, he immediately told Skylar, “Mr. Williams and Maisy are inside.”
Skylar was somewhat surprised.
She hadn’t seen Jeffrey since the day she left the hospital after she traveled back in time. She hadn’t expected him to come to Martin Group that day.
She was about to say something to Paul when Jeffrey and Maisy came out of the building.
At first, the two of them were a bit uncertain if it was really Skylar. But once they confirmed it was her,
Maisy seemed a bit surprised. “Skylar, you.”
She wondered if Paul was Skylar’s sugar daddy.
After all, Paul was Joe’s assistant. Many people in Jipsburg showed him respect. Maisy couldn’t believer that Skylar would have such a sugar daddy, even though he wasn’t an old man.
But no matter how much respect others showed him, he was just an employee.
“Skye, how could you…” Jeffrey was about to question Skylar. But when he saw Paul carrying a lunchbox,
he restrained himself.
Noticing this situation, Paul, who was usually suave, felt a bit awkward. “Ms-”
“You can go ahead and do your work, Skylar told Paul.
Paul nodded and left, still looking aloof.
As soon as he turned and faced away from Jeffrey and the others, he immediately took out his phone and
sent a text to Joe.
“Mr. Martin, Ms. Sullivan came to deliver soup to you. She happened to run into Jeffrey and Maisy, whot
came to find you.”
After Paul left and entered the elevator in the building, Jeffrey finally assumed the role of a stern father.” Skye, what’s been going on with you lately? You haven’t been answering our calls, and you’ve moved out? How could you do that?”
“Skylar, we’re all worried about you. Those things on the internet aren’t true. How could I possibly be with your boyfriend? Please don’t misunderstand me,” Maisy said with her usual display of innocence.
Watching their familiar faces, Skylar sneered inwardly.
She used to care a lot about how they viewed her. She used to wonder if she had done anything wrong.
Otherwise, why would Jeffrey always start by blaming her for everything?
Though she hadn’t done anything wrong, it felt like everything she did was somehow a mistake.
“Say something. I heard from your mom that you moved in with someone. Is Mr. Ziegler your sugar daddy? Are you crazy? How can you be a sugar baby?” Jeffrey raised his voice slightly.
After all, they were at Martin Group’s building. He didn’t dare to speak too loudly.
Maisy sighed. “Mr. Ziegler may be better than Christopher in some ways, but Christopher didn’t cheat on you. He didn’t betray you, Skylar. Did you spread rumors about me and Christopher on Instagram because of Mr. Ziegler?”
“You know very well what’s going on between you and Christopher, Maisy. Your act doesn’t work in front of me,” Skylar said to Maisy.
She then turned to Jeffrey. “You and I are only biologically related. Other than that, you’re not worthy of being my father.”
“How dare you?” Infuriated, Jeffrey widened his eyes. Combined with the frustration from the indifference he faced inside Martin Group, he felt the urge to slap Skylar.
He raised his hand high, ready to strike.
Skylar glanced at Jeffrey’s hand, losing hope completely. The pain that had been suppressed deep inside rose to the surface, making her face turn somewhat pale.
“I suggest you keep your hands to yourself,” she spat.
Although she didn’t have much of an impression of Finn anymore, Steven said Finn was a very gentle man. He was very patient and gentle with all of them and never hit them. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
But whenever she was faced with Jeffrey, it was either verbal reprimands or attempts to slap her.
Jeffrey’s hand trembled slightly. In the past, he would have definitely struck without hesitation. However, seeing that Skylar no longer looked at him with the fearful, pleasing eyes she used to, he
inexplicably had a strange thought.
