Chapter 47
“Serves them right indeed. Why are you still here?” Skylar asked.
Logically speaking. Caleb should have gotten off work an hour ago. He scratched his head. “I was just afraid that you’d be feeling down over a jerk.”
“He’s not worth it. Just go. I still have to make a hospital visit.” Skylar picked up her bag and started walking outside.
Caleb followed her immediately. “Are you sure you’re okay, Skylar?”
“Of course.”
In the car, Joe was going through his to–do list in his notebook.
He had been supposed to work overtime. But, with Gloria being in the hospital, he could only finish off his remaining work on the way.
While Paul was working, he suddenly received a notification of a video on Instagram. He tapped on it. The first thing he saw was Skylar’s post from this morning.
That wasn’t the main point. The more important thing was Maisy’s Facebook post.
It contained a screenshot of a legal letter and a verbal statement by Maisy, claiming that the photograph was photoshopped.
Williams Group had also reshared this post.
He opened Facebook promptly. The tables had turned in such a short period of time. They were all targeting Skylar! They had even exposed her photo.
He looked at the post in shock. He blurted, “Isn’t Ms. Sullivan Jeffrey’s biological daughter? Who in the world are her parents? Or, is this Maisy their biological daughter?”
Joe, who had been focused on his work, looked up and glanced over at Paul.
Immediately, Paul informed him of all that had happened.
In the end, he came to a conclusion. “Ms. Sullivan won’t be able to deal with the Williams family’s professional PR team on her own, let alone their legal team.”
Joe checked the legal letter that the Williams family had sent out. He also looked through the various
screenshots.
The deep, cold gaze in his eyes was enough to send chills down one’s spine. Even though Paul worked closely with Joe, it still made him afraid.
“Gather proof of Christopher and Maisy being together, and hand them all to me.”
“Uh, sure. I’ll work on it now.”

Skylar received a call from Janine when she was nearing the hospital.
“Where are you now, Skye? Shall I go and keep you company? Or you can come home. Your brothers are back, too. Harvey is staying at the dorm these two days, It’ll make you feel better to be with family at a
time like this.”
Janine’s voice was gentle, especially when she spoke with her most beloved daughter.
“I’m on my way to the hospital to visit Grandma Gloria. It will be late by the time I get home. Go ahead and have dinner without me. Don’t wait for me.
“Also, Mom, I’m guessing that all of you have seen the news on the internet. Don’t worry; it’s nothing.” Skylar had figured out the reason for Janine’s call.
Janine let out a sigh of relief. “Okay. We’ll wait for you to come home.”
Meanwhile, at Yancey Residence, Steven and Charles were looking at their phones. They watched as the trending topic rose on the charts.
Charles took a quick glance at Janine, who was busy in the kitchen. He frowned and said to Steven, “They hired a professional PR team, Steven.”
Steven’s expression was dark. “Stay calm. I’ve asked a few friends. They’re discussing a solution.”
Charles nodded.
This wouldn’t be resolved so easily. The truth was that Christopher was the one who’d cheated. Event though they were aware of that, the people online wouldn’t believe that was the case.
The Williamses‘ PR team and their counterattack had been too prompt. They had probably prepared their PR statement as soon as Skylar had made her post.
“They don’t deserve to be Skye’s parents. What parent would treat their own daughter like that? Skye must be feeling miserable now,” Charles commented angrily.
Right at that moment, Steven received a message. It was from a group that he and a few of his friends had set up together.
To his surprise, the solution they had come up with was for Skylar to apologize and minimize the loss on
her end!
