Charles snorted. “Then, move back here, and I’ll let you address me as your brother.”
“My adoptive mom is in poor health and needs my care. I also want to move back,
but she has raised me. I can’t be unfilial.” Maisy responded, struggling to stay calm.
Had she really changed and learned her lesson? Charles stared at Maisy suspiciously.
Harvey approached them and said coldly, “Faker.”
Damn it! Maisy really wanted to slap him.
“Harvey, it was a misunderstanding before. Everyone has moments of impulsiveness and irrationality. I just didn’t adapt as quickly as Skylar. I still hadn’t accepted my true.
identity at the time,” Maisy explained.
Although Harvey was young, he wasn’t easily fooled. “You want to subtly make us suspect Skylar and hate her again, huh?”
He was not that stupid.
“I don’t care how you tricked Mom, but if I find out that you made her sad, I’ll kill you.” Harvey narrowed his eyes and threatened.
Charles also added coldly, “If you dare to bring up Skylar again, I will beat you to
death.
Looking at the two people in front of her, who were completely hostile toward her, Maisy tightly grasped her bag.
Fine! She would see how they would try to please her in the future and then.
apologize to her for defending Skylar today!
“Is that Maisy? Why are you all standing outside? Come in quickly.” Janine saw Harvey and Charles standing at the door and immediately walked over to them while
speaking.
“Yes, Mom. I’m here,” Maisy immediately responded obediently.
Charles and Harvey exchanged glances and made way for Maisy.

After Maisy came in, she was taken aback by the scene in the room. It was
horrendous!
Simply too horrendous!
The furniture in the house looked like it had been there for many years. Although
they weren’t broken, they were old and had a cheap smell.
Luckily, the place was very clean. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have wanted to come in.
Charles and Harvey saw the disgust in Maisy’s eyes.
Sure enough, she had just been pretending earlier!
At Hughes Residence, Skylar noticed Natalie looking a little haggard.
“Can’t sleep?”
“I heard my mom talk about my cousin, Nancy, last night, and then I went to chat with Nancy until midnight.” Natalie yawned.
Her eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that she cried last night.
“Nancy?” Skylar seemed to recall Natalie mentioning Nancy Turner before.
It seemed that she had gotten pregnant before her marriage two years ago. She had been a housewife since she had gotten married with a big belly.
Before she had gotten married, she had been the belle of the dance department at Jipsburg University. She had been all set to join the National Dance Team before she
had gotten pregnant.
Natalie had felt very sorry for her at that time.
If she hadn’t gotten pregnant before marriage, she would have been a lead dancer by
now.
Natalie explained. “It’s her. She gave birth to a daughter last year. Then, she wanted to realize her dream again this year, but her parents–in–law stopped her, saying that they couldn’t take care of the baby.”

“They didn’t trust the nanny either, so they asked her to stay home full–time to care for the baby and look after her.
“Her husband, Floyd Wilson, also thought that she shouldn’t be so selfish and leave the baby alone when she was so young.” Natalie’s eyes became red as she spoke.
Skylar looked solemn. She helped Natalie sit on the couch.
After Natalie sat down, she continued, “Although Nancy felt very disappointed, she could only endure it due to the family’s opposition.
“But a few days ago, while she was browsing on her phone, she came across a livestream on street photography of good–looking people. There, she saw Floyd and another woman entering a hotel!“
