Chapter 18
The assistant confirmed it and replied, “Mr. Williams, the card number is correct. There is no record of purchases being made with this card.”
After he ended the call, Jeffrey looked at Sadie, Kenny, and Maisy. He was speechless for a moment.
“Has she been spending her boyfriend’s money?” Maisy suddenly thought of using Christopher.
*Her office employee boyfriend?” Sadie sounded disgusted.
Maisy lowered her head. She was worried that Sadie might find out about her relationship with
Christopher. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
She nodded and said, “Yes. I’ve heard Skylar say that her boyfriend gives his salary to her. I have his number. Let me call and ask him if Skylar’s staying with him.”
“She’s not married, yet she’s spending his money. Not only that, she’s even living with him. Has she no self- respect? She’s going to embarrass our family name!” Kenny didn’t hide his disdain for Skylar at all.
Maisy called Christopher.
“Mr. Fowler, I’d like to know if Skylar was spending your money when you were together?”
Christopher was a little confused, but he played along with Maisy. “Well… Yes, she usually uses my money. Is there any problem?”
“Did she say she’d return the money to you?”
“We share everything we have. A few days ago, I transferred my bonus of 100 thousand dollars to her. She said she needed it urgently,” Christopher lied.
Maisy was satisfied with Christopher’s performance. She turned up her phone’s volume so that the others. could hear it on speaker.
“Then, is she staying with you now?”
Christopher was silent for a few seconds. He’d been looking for Skylar. He’d asked a lot of their common acquaintances, but no one knew where she was. However…
“She was living with me until yesterday, but I didn’t give her money when she wanted it. She got angry and left home. Do you know where she is?”
He’d guessed that Maisy had put him on loudspeaker and that Jeffrey and Sadie must be around her.
He knew exactly what Maisy wanted. Between Maisy and Skylar, he’d choose Maisy. After all, the Williamses liked Maisy more.
After Malsy hung up, she looked at everyone’s grim faces with great satisfaction.
*Skylar seems to be getting money from her boyfriend consistently. I wonder what she’s up to. I’m so
worried about her.”
She’s shameless!” Jeffrey was so furious, he threw the glass of water on the table away again.
After Skylar ended the call, she took a turn and drove into the underground carpark of a mall.
The traffic was bad today. She took the chance to buy some things from the supermarket.
When she got out of her car and took her phone, she remembered what she had promised Paul. So, she clicked on the photos he sent.
After reviewing the photos, she replied to Paul, “The fourth emerald charm is okay.”
Once she entered the supermarket, Joe called her. “Where are you?”
The supermarket at Phoenix Mall.”
Wait for me.”
Skylar was stunned as the call ended. Wait for him? Was he nearby?
She recalled then that Phoenix Mall was right opposite Martin Group. It was also a landmark building in Jipsburg.
When Joe arrived, Skylar was just taking a bunch of potato chips from the snack aisle.
After the accident in her previous life, she hadn’t had the opportunity to eat such snacks, and before the accident, she’d been reluctant to spend money on these junk foods.
This time, she planned to eat as much of it as she wanted and even have some in her car. She’d take some for Harvey when she went home so that they could watch it while enjoying some TV shows. Joe had never been to the supermarket.
