Chapter 423

“Skye, please forgive me. I really need your help!” Sadie pleaded tearfully.

Skylar remained unmoved. She wasn’t a pushover. She eyed the group coldly. “Caleb, call the police.”

Caleb nodded. “Sure thing!”

“Hold on, Skylar,” Jeffrey interjected. “There’s no need for hostility. We share the Williams blood, after all. We’re family, for better or worse.”

“We were hoping you could help the family. Once things are back on track, there’ll always be a place for you at home. We know about you and Joe, by the way.”

“That million-dollar monthly allowance must be from him, right? See if he can lend the Williams Group a hand. It’d be a breeze for someone like Joe.”

Caleb was stunned. The couple’s behavior was unbelievable. How could they act this way? Moreover, wasn't Skylar married?

A sardonic smile played on Skylar’s lips. “Why should I help you?”

Their discovery of her connection to Joe confirmed her suspicions. Their audacity in demanding her help was astounding.

“We’re family. Helping us is helping yourself, isn’t it?” Peter tried to persuade Skylar. “As long as you help us through this rough patch, you can come and go as you please in this house. Even if Joe throws you away someday, this family will always have a place for you. I can even find you a better husband.”

“Skylar, please,” Maisy pleaded, her voice thick with emotion. “Our family is in dire straits. Please, for Mom’s sake. The accident took a toll on her, and she can’t handle another blow.”

Kenny couldn’t stomach Maisy’s begging. “Peter’s right,” he said sternly. “We are family. You have no choice but to help us weather this storm.”

“Could you stop being so melodramatic? Living off a man’s money every month—how long can that possibly last?” Samuel rolled his eyes in disbelief. He questioned whether Skylar possessed any real abilities beyond pleasing a man. If Jeffrey and Sadie weren’t present, he would have voiced those thoughts. After all, Skylar wasn’t one to shy away from embarrassment, so why should he?

Caleb’s frustration boiled over. “Are you all out of your minds? When did Skylar ever need a man to support her? With her talent, a million a month is chump change! You’re all clueless, making yourselves look like fools!” He couldn’t believe their ignorance. They kept claiming Skylar was family, yet they utterly misunderstood her.

“You think you know everything? Are you that boy toy of Skylar’s?” Samuel smirked.

Caleb glanced at Skylar. “Can I punch him?”

“If you want to punch him, go ahead,” Skylar replied calmly. She knew Caleb had trained in mixed martial arts, and from their casual conversations, she knew he could handle multiple opponents easily.

Caleb didn’t hesitate. He rolled up his sleeves and slapped Samuel across the face.

There was a loud smack. Samuel was bewildered.

“In all my years, this is the first time someone’s called me a boy toy. You Williamses mean nothing to me. Do you think Joe would lift a finger for you? Dream on!” Caleb fumed, then landed another kick.

Jeffrey and the rest of the family were taken aback by Caleb’s audacious disregard for consequences. They realized Caleb wasn’t just an ordinary worker; his confidence and disregard suggested he held a unique status within Jipsburg City.

A surge of satisfaction washed over Skylar. She’d wanted to do that to Samuel for a while.
