Chapter 301

Maisy bit her lip and looked at Janine. “Mom, I… You’re the only one who would believe me now. I’ve changed. I’m not the same as before.”

Janine’s heart softened, but she remained firm. “Maisy, you can’t fix what happened with a simple apology. You apologized to Skye in front of everyone today just to force her forgiveness, didn't you? After everything you did to her, how can you expect her to forgive you so easily? Steven is right. There’s still a long road ahead. Whether you’ve truly changed will be proven over time. For now, you should leave.”

Hearing this, Maisy almost choked. She hadn’t expected her biological mother to side with others—especially a group of people she considered nobodies.

Maisy exploded. “Fine! I was foolish to think we could reconcile. It’s crazy that you all blame everything on me. I shouldn’t have come.”

“You will all regret this! And Skylar, your boyfriend is just an ordinary guy. You’re probably his sugar mommy, right? No surprise there! What kind of wealthy guy could you possibly find? I'm destined to marry into wealth, so don’t come begging me for help in the future!”

Seeing Maisy's true colors, Steven slapped her. “Stop judging people by your own filthy standards. Maisy, even though you’re my sister, you don’t deserve to be. Get out!”

If Maisy could slander Skylar to their faces, who knew what she’d said to the Williams family? And if Joe was a “boy toy,” what did that make everyone else?

Maisy was stunned by the slap. She clutched her face and yelled, “You!”

“I bet you came back with this drastic change in attitude to manipulate everyone, just like you did with the Williamses, right?” Skylar exposed Maisy’s intentions with a mocking smile.

Maisy avoided Skylar’s gaze. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

In Maisy’s eyes, the Sullivans were beneath her.

“Steven, I’ll remember this slap. You’ll all regret this…” Maisy retreated toward the door, placing her hand on the doorknob. She looked at them with arrogant disdain. “You belong here, in the slums of Jipsburg! Struggle all you want; you’ll always remain at the bottom. I’m different! You think you can make me stay? Look at what you have to offer! You were right, Skylar! I wanted to keep you away from the Williams family. Your presence constantly reminded me that I was adopted. It’s all your fault!”

Janine was dismayed. “Maisy, you—”

“What about me? Do you think wearing fake designer brands makes you a socialite? You’re just a country bumpkin. You don’t deserve to be my mother. If you were, you’d kick Skylar out right now.” Maisy arrogantly pointed at Skylar, threatening Janine.

“Stop your f*cking nonsense! Get out! You’re just like the Williamses, full of crap!” Charles stood and walked toward Maisy.

Skylar intervened. “Charles.”

Charles stopped and looked at Skylar, who shook her head. He calmed down.

Seeing Charles’s obedience to Skylar infuriated Maisy.

“Skylar, I swear you won’t have the last laugh!” she declared.

“That goes for you,” Skylar replied nonchalantly. Skylar couldn’t be bothered to argue; she already had plenty of incriminating evidence against Maisy.
