Skylar picked up the call. “Mr. Martin.”

“Grandma would like to meet you tonight. Do you have time?” Joe’s cool voice echoed from the other end

of the phone.

Just as Skylar was about to reply, the cab had already made its way into Galaxy Villa.

“I’ve arrived at Galaxy Villa. I’d like to meet Grandma Gloria as well.”

She had only gotten married to Joe for Gloria’s sake. Now that Gloria wanted to see her, she would

certainly set aside other affairs to meet her.

The call went silent for a few seconds before Joe’s voice rang through again. “Wait at home for about half an hour. Paul will pick you up.”

“Alright. Thanks.” Skylar hung up and entered the villa. Joe had given her the villa’s password, so she didn’t encounter any issues.

Just as she had changed into slippers, her phone suddenly rang again. Amidst the silence that hung in the villa, the noise of her ringtone was deafening.

Skylar took her phone out and realized it was a call from Sadie. She sneered and declined her call. Frankly, she was in no mood to entertain those scumbags since she was going to meet Gloria tonight.

Upon realizing that Skylar had refused her call, Sadie’s expression darkened.

“Jeff, Skye actually rejected my call!”

Jeffrey lost his composure immediately. Infuriated, he bellowed, “What are you calling her for? You should’ve just let her be!

“She’s been out of college for three months, and she hasn’t even secured a job. She’s literally penniless. Don’t give her any money either. Let’s see how long she can hold up!”

“You’re right. She didn’t grow up with us, after all. That explains why she isn’t close with us, and she doesn’t understand us either. Maisy is much more sensible.” At that thought, Sadie grew even fonder of

Maisy,

“I’ve terminated her card. Ignore her, and she’ll come back in two days.”

“Once she’s back, I’ll definitely teach her a lesson.”

It was already dark out. A Maybach MPV pulled up in front of Pearlhall Residence, the Martin family. residence, and Skylar emerged from the car. She thanked Paul swiftly.

Paul was slightly surprised. During their journey to Pearlhall Residence, Skylar hadn’t asked about Joe’s

insolence! I’m terminating her credit card now!” Skylar had really brought shame upon him.

“I’ll go check her room now. Maybe she’s just trying to scare us by running away. I bet she wants a car as well. She’s hopeless!” Furrowing her brows, Sadie dashed upstairs into Skylar’s room.

She rarely

rarely went into Skylar’s room. When she opened the door, she was momentarily startled by the empty and plain room. A sense of uneasiness prickled at her.

“Mom, I think I’ll leave. I don

I think Skylar wants to see me at home. She’ll come back once I’m gone.” Maisy said, approaching Sadie. She noticed that Sadie was lost in her thoughts.

Maisy sensed that things were spiraling out of her control. She should be the only one pampered in this family! Skylar was always meant to be inferior to her.

Snapping back to her senses, Sadie turned toward Maisy and said warmly, “Just imagine what it would be like if she were as sensible as you are. Just ignore her. She can go whenever she wants.” [1]

“Skylar grew up in the countryside, after all. It’s normal that she lacks basic courtesy since her adoptive mom only graduated from middle school.

“Mom, she’ll become more sensible after we teach her. She’ll come to respect you and Dad just like I do,” Maisy chirped.

Sadie grew annoyed whenever she heard about Skylar’s past.

“Skylar’s been studying in college for a few years now, hasn’t she? By right, she should be sensible and mature. The truth is, she’s just a narrow–minded and ungrateful whelp!
