Chapter 208
Sadie blurted out everything on her mind to blame Janine for the Williams family’s
misfortunes.
In her eyes, if Janine hadn’t failed to raise Skylar right, how would Skylar have neded. up as someone’s mistress instead of living as the Williams family’s heiress?
Sadie’s words struck Janine like a thunderbolt.
“You don’t deserve to be Skye’s mother. Instead of standing up for her when everyone else wrongly accuses her, you just add fuel to the fire! Do you think
everyone’s as low as you?” Janine shouted..
Sadie had been standing with her arms crossed. When she heard Janine, her hand.
shot up to slap the latter. But Janine was faster
The sound of a sharp slap echoed.
Sadie staggered back while holding her cheek. The disbelief written all over her face
was evident, even with her sunglasses on.
“Janine, have you lost your mind? How dare you hit me? Believe it or not, I’ll tell Skylar that you hit me!”
Janine was still seething with anger. She sneered. “So what if I did hit you? You’re
not fit to be a mother.
“I used to hope Skye would treat you guys better because you’re her real family, but now I see that blood relations mean nothing.
“You’re all worse than scum. You’re not worth an ounce of hope or respect!”
Sadie tried to slap Janine back, but Janine reacted quickly and dodged.
“Janine! You’re just a lowly worker! How dare you hit me?” Sadie’s disdain for Janine. was apparent. To her, anyone in the service industry was beneath contempt.
In Sadie’s eyes, people in the service industry were nothing but cheap, low–status, bottom–of–the– barrel people. How could someone like that raise a decent child?
Janine scoffed. “I have nothing to be ashamed of in my work. But can you say the same about the Williams family’s money? Don’t act all high and mighty with me–you haven’t earned the right to do so!”
With that, she turned to leave.
To Janine, they were from different worlds and could never see eye to eye. She and Sadie were simply not cut from the same cloth.
But Sadie wasn’t going to let her go that easily. “Wait! Who said you could walk away? You still haven’t told me who Skye’s man is.”
With her anger getting the best of her, Sadie almost forgot the reason she had come
to see Janine in the first place.
Janine raised her hand again.
“What do you think you’re doing? I’ll report you! Tell me who Skye is sleeping with, or you can kiss goodbye to your job!” Sadie demanded.
“No one! I know my daughter. She’d never stoop to being someone’s mistress. Skye
earned her place on Mr. Gardner Senior’s team all by herself. She doesn’t need
anyone’s help,” Janine declared firmly as she stepped into the elevator.
Sadie tried to follow Janine but stopped as a familiar socialite emerged from the elevator. Frustrated, she quickly found a nearby café to sit in.
No sooner had she sat down than Maisy called her. “Mom, I was just on the plane.”
“Did you manage to speak with Mr. Martin? What did he say? Is he willing to help our family?” Sadie asked anxiously.
Unaware of who Skylar’s backer was, the Williamses thought that Joe was the only hope for them in Jispurg.
Desperately, Sadie prayed that Joe would fall for Maisy now and thus solve their problems.
Maisy felt embarrassed. She struggled to find the words to confess to Sadie that Joe was Skylar’s backer.
“Mom, I didn’t get to see Mr. Martin. He’s been very busy. I waited, but I couldn’t

approach him without raising suspicion. I’m sorry; it’s my fault.
“Have you spoken with Ms. Yancey? What did she say?” Maisy asked while tightly gripping her phone, unable to hide her worry.
