Chapter 310
"No!" Maisy exclaimed in panic. "Absolutely not! Kenny must never see that video!"
Seeing Maisy's panic, Skylar felt a wave of satisfaction. Leaning against the wall, she casually opened her photo album.
"Maisy, what kind of video is it that I can't see? And Skylar, what are you up to?" Kenny asked.
Maisy wished she could kill Skylar. "Kenny, it's nothing, really. Just some personal, private videos."
"Private videos?" Kenny's suspicion deepened, but he quickly accepted Maisy's explanation, turning his anger on Skylar. "How did you get hold of a private video of Maisy?"
"Why don't you see for yourself if it's private or not?" Skylar countered smoothly.
Maisy's eyes widened in horror as Skylar prepared to play the video. They were at the hospital, outside the operating room. Only the Williams family was present. Any sound from the video would be clearly audible.
Fear caused Maisy's body to tremble violently.
"Kenny, it's nothing. Don't worry. The video isn't important. I overreacted. It's my fault, not Skylar's," she said.
"But your brother doesn't seem to believe that," Skylar said, finding the video and turning her phone toward Maisy. The frozen frame showed a hotel room number.
Maisy's face turned ashen. "Kenny, trust me! I really overreacted. Please go back to waiting for the surgery. I'll talk to Skylar."
She cursed inwardly. She had never felt so humiliated in front of Skylar, never before taken the fall in front of Kenny and the others. In the past, she had always redirected blame to turn them against Skylar. But now, things had changed. She needed to prevent Kenny from misinterpreting Skylar's actions. The stark contrast terrified her.
"Maisy, you seemed really scared. Don't worry, I'm here for you. You can tell me anything," Kenny said, his eyes filled with concern.
Skylar glanced at Kenny, noticing a subtle shift in his demeanor toward Maisy.
"Kenny, I'm not scared. We're just chatting about girl stuff. Please, don't keep asking," Maisy pleaded, her desperation deepening as Skylar's finger hovered over the video.
"Well, it seems your brother doesn't believe you and thinks I'm bullying you. This video is quite interesting, though. Maybe I should call your other brothers and your dad to watch it too?" Skylar teased with a smirk.
She had never seen Maisy so flustered and frightened.
"No! Kenny, please go. I'll talk to Skylar myself. If you keep bugging us, I'll be too embarrassed to face anyone." Maisy's voice wavered; she was on the brink of tears. She was mortified.
Seeing Maisy's distress, Kenny hesitated before reluctantly walking away, his mind spinning with questions. What was in the video? Why was Maisy so nervous while Skylar remained cool and collected? It seemed she didn't want him to see it at all.
As Kenny walked away, Maisy breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Skylar, anger and fear flickering across her face, but she lacked the courage to confront her.
