Chapter 146

“Harvey, you don’t even know where your sister works! Hurry up and review your lessons; you’re going back to school tomorrow. Come back now!”

Janine quickly went to the balcony, opened the window, and shouted at Harvey, who had run downstairs. Harvey waved at her. “Trust me, I’ve never liked cramming. Skylar has been bullied, and you didn’t tell me! I’m worried about her, and I need to see her. I’m grown up now, so don’t worry!”

Janine knew Harvey was utterly stubborn; once he decided on something, he wouldn't change his mind.

After hanging up the phone, Amelia’s face darkened. “Christopher, I think Janine and her family have decided not to let Skylar be with you. Given the situation, we should go to her directly.”

If Skylar hadn't seemed useful, Amelia would never have humbled herself to speak so much to Janine. She felt it unfair that everyone around Janine lacked a husband, yet Janine seemed to be living better than them. The more she thought about it, the more unfair it seemed.

“No, Mom, I can’t live without Skylar,” Christopher said fiercely, ruffling his already messy hair in despair. Since losing his job, he had visibly lost weight in just a few days.

Amelia looked at her son, her heart aching. “With your qualifications, you could find any woman you want.”

“Skylar is now someone’s sugar baby, a tarnished woman. Why would you still want her? Even after saying so many nice things, she won’t come back,” Amelia said. She felt Skylar didn’t deserve a man like Christopher.

Christopher’s eyes reddened. “Mom, stop talking!”

Amelia blinked, not daring to say anything more. Her son was good to her, but sometimes he had a fierce temper. He clearly cared deeply about Skylar. If she had known this would happen, she would have helped him reconcile with Skylar then, instead of making such cruel remarks.

“She wouldn’t have become cold-hearted for no reason. She must have seen me with Maisy, which is why she didn’t believe the online clarifications. I should have realized that earlier,” Christopher muttered, becoming more regretful. He truly regretted not cherishing Skylar properly.

They were about to get married before Skylar ended things. These days, he often recalled their carefree, sweet high school moments. Back then, he had sworn he would never let Skylar down; he wanted to be with her for a lifetime. But later, he forgot it all…

Meanwhile, at Williams Group, Jeffrey and Peter were swamped with chaos. One phone call after another came in, all concerning various partnerships that had been previously agreed upon but were now being canceled.
