Chapter 222
Humans were born evil. However, the Williamses had practically been stripped of their conscience. They never reflected on themselves whenever a problem arose. Instead, they would blame it all on others.
They were truly egoistic.
Jeffrey and Sadie froze.
“That’s a horrible thing to say, Skye. You never behaved like this. It’s only been a few days. How is it that you’ve changed so much? Did someone say anything to you that you’re seeing us in such a light?
“Your dad and I have always loved you and hoped you’d have a good life. We don’t want you to go down. the wrong path.
Just like us, your brothers have your best interest at heart. How can you disregard their kind intention?
“Instead, you think we have ulterior motives and won’t give up until we achieve them,” Sadie criticized, displeased.
Jeffrey frowned deeply. “Your mom’s right. I’m disappointed in you. We’re only came here today so that others wouldn’t talk behind our backs.
“We don’t want them to think that we, as your parents, have neglected you and merely watch as you take the wrong path. If that happens, we will have to take the blame.”
Skylar glanced at the time. “You have three minutes.”
Sadiesaid, “You aren’t even up to the job. Going to work is just your way of making your résumé look good. It won’t matter if you’re a few minutes late!
“You’re not getting away with this even if you refuse to talk about it. We still don’t know whose mistress you’ve become, but you can’t hide it from us for long.
“Before things take a turn for the worse, you’d better tell us everything truthfully.”
As Sadie spoke, she looked up at the office building. “Your lover must be the one who helped get you into Gardner Group, right? Who is he?”
She and Jeffrey had had a thorough discussion. It might be true that the way they managed their company was flawed.
Other than that, Martin Group’s refusal to collaborate might have contributed to the situation they were in
now
It was also possible that Skylar had had someone make things difficult for them. But again, she might have nothing to do with this at all.
Nevertheless, now that Skylar had found herself an influential sugar daddy, they might be able to save their company through her connection.
But to their dismay, they couldn’t find out who it was. They dared not even investigate it openly.
Jeffrey put on the facade of a kindly father figure, saying, “Skye, I made mistakes and misunderstood you. I promise you don’t have to donate your blood to Maisy if you don’t want to. I’ll buy you your favorite car for your birthday, too.
“But now, our company’s future is at stake. Please put aside all your resentment for now. I’ll make it up to you later,”
When Sadie heard him relieve Skylar from donating her blood against her wish, she wanted to say no to that. She couldn’t bear to see Maisy suffer. However, she could only keep her reluctance to herself for
now.
The blood donation wasn’t something they could compromise on.
This morning, Maisy had looked pale when she had returned from her friend’s house. Her face had been drained of color, yet she had endured the discomfort and kept Sadie company during breakfast.
Maisy had even advised Sadie to get over it and stop arguing with Skylar. Maisy was such a sweet daughter. Sadie would never let her go through so much pain anymore.
“I don’t have a sugar daddy,” Skylar replied coldly.
How lowly was she in Jeffrey’s and Sadie’s eyes for them to think that she needed someone else’s help to secure a i
at Gardner Group?
Had they never checked Gardner Group’s recruitment regulations? Had they been born without the ability to think?
“How can that be? How could you have joined Mr. Gardner Senior’s team without help from others? Skye, when did you learn to lie through your teeth?” Sadie frowned.
Skylar had been raised in the countryside. Hence, Sadie questioned how she could have what it took to Join Alexander’s team. What a liar! She didn’t know her place at all.
“That’s not important. I’ll take your word that you got the job through your own efforts. Right now, I only have one thing to ask of you. Let us meet your sugar–no, I mean, your boyfriend,” Jeffrey said with a
frown.
