Chapter 883
She ranted and raved, slapping Skyler as she spoke, “What the hell are you talking about? What did you give? The deal you introduced to Jade Barlow, you’re still trying to squeeze a profit out of it. You’re taking nearly half of the company’s annual income. We’re keeping tabs on various projects round the clock while you’re sipping afternoon tea with rich ladies. You didn’t dare to say a word when your daughter–in–law hit Jade. Do you even see us as humans? Have you no shame saying these things?”
Skyler was trembling with rage. “Damn it, have you lost your mind? Try touching me again!”
Her sister–in–law gladly complied and slapped her again.
She’d been tolerating Skyler for too long. Although her husband was weak, a gambler, and indecisive, his sister, Skyler, wasn’t any better.
If it weren’t for her bad influence, would Jade have developed a gambling addiction?
Just because she threw them a bone, she expected the whole family to worship her Did she think she was God?
When Jade came back, he saw his wife beating Skyler on the floor. He quickly stepped in to break them up.
Skyler’s disheveled hair, dirty clothes, and slightly swollen face didn’t deter her from shouting and demanding that Jade kick his wife out. In response, the other woman brushed off the dust, her voice turning cold as she declared, “Jade Barlow, if you dare to let her stay, you can leave with her!” With those words, she ascended the stairs, leaving the scene
Jade was a husband who often found himself under the thumb of his dominant wife. However, their relationship was genuinely strong. Nevertheless, Skyler’s presence in their home added to their financial burden, as her extravagant lifestyle was unsustainable in the long run.
When his wife asserted her authority, Jade reluctantly yielded. He leaned in closer to Skyler and whispered, “Sister, I have a place in the northern suburbs I’ll clean it up in the next few days, and you can stay there. I’ll also find you a maid…”
Skyler found herself in a state of disbelief at his words.
Her beloved little brother, actually taking sides with others, not protecting her.
She was so angry she was shaking, pushing Jade Barlow away to stand up. “You’re all the same, I don’t need you to kick me out, I’ll leave on my own!*
She stood up and pointed at Jade, “You ungrateful wretch, all these years I’ve wasted on you! From now on, I don’t have a brother!”
With that, she grabbed her bag and stormed out.
Jade took a few steps to follow her, but ultimately gave up.
He was in no position to worry about Skyler right now.
After all, she was Liam’s biological mother, even if she couldn’t return to the Reed family, her life wouldn’t be too bad.
After leaving the Barlow family, Skyler finally saw a related news article
Skyler was taken aback by the headline, prompting her to click on the news article. However, there were no accompanying pictures, only a description of how Liam was treating his wife exceptionally well and how their romance was still flourishing even after four years of marriage. The article was inconspicuously placed among other news pieces and didn’t generate significant attention or reaction.
Undeterred, Skyler persisted in her search but couldn’t find any additional news about Liam. The lack of information left her feeling puzzled and uncertain, so she swiftly dialed Mrs. Kelley’s number
