Chapter 161

Whenever George gave instructions personally, the security guards were required to remember them. No unauthorized personnel were allowed on the grounds. But Skylar was different.

Skylar smiled and shook her head. “I’m just waiting for my brother. He’s filming inside today.”

“Your brother? Who is he? Let me tell the butler. The film crew will be staying here tonight. We can arrange a better room for your brother, Ms. Sullivan. This way, he doesn’t have to share a small room with the others,” the security guard said, already sending a WhatsApp message to the butler.

The butler replied almost instantly: “I have a list of crew members. There’s a gentleman named Charles Sullivan, who must be Ms. Sullivan’s brother. I’ll arrange it immediately.”

Skylar was amazed by the security guard’s efficiency. She hadn’t even had a chance to object. She decided to prepare some antiques as a gift for George, in return for his hospitality.

“Thank you.”

“My pleasure, Ms. Sullivan. It’s our job,” the security guard replied with a smile.

She waited about two more minutes before she saw Charles running out.

“Skye.”

“Charles, over here.”

Charles ran up to Skylar. “I have the whole afternoon for you. Come on. You haven’t been here before, have you? I used to film nearby, and there’s a beautiful lake not far away. The water is clear. Let me take you there.”

“Ms. Sullivan, you can’t drive on the road toward the lake. Would you like me to take you both there on a motorcycle?” the security guard asked enthusiastically.

Charles was surprised. Skylar had a remarkable ability to connect with people. It had only been a few minutes, and the security guard was already going out of his way to help her. He recalled the crew’s arrival; the guard had been stern then, peppering them with demands. Even the assistant director had treated the mansion’s staff with deference.

Skylar politely declined the security guard’s offer. “No, thank you. We’ll walk.”

“Alright. If you need anything, just call us. There are security guards patrolling by the lake, and we’re with them,” the security guard said.

As Skylar and Charles strolled away, Charles leaned in conspiratorially. “If he weren’t old enough to be your father, I might suspect he had ulterior motives. He’s awfully attentive.”

“Grandma brought me here a while back to help Mr. Querbach with some antiques. So, a lot of the staff recognize me,” Skylar explained.

Charles, an actor, had a wild imagination, having seen many films.

Charles immediately understood. “I see. Come on, let’s go. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there. Once this film is finalized, I’ll buy you a bag. Many women in the crew own that specific brand. I even took a picture of it. I’ll buy you one then.” Charles thought Skylar would look even better with that bag.

“Thanks, Charles.” Skylar didn’t refuse, continuing, “We siblings are so telepathic. I’ve also prepared a gift for you. It’s in my car.”

“It’s different now that you’re working and making money. Now, I have a sister who buys gifts for me,” said Charles.

Two figures, Kenny and Samuel, emerged from the mansion as Skylar and Charles walked away. Many things were happening at home, so Kenny wanted to talk to Samuel personally. Seeing Skylar and Charles laughing and chatting, their expressions changed.

“Did she forget who her real brother is? She came to see Charles and didn’t even think of seeing me?” Samuel muttered, a strange disquiet settling in his stomach.
