Chapter 163
Steven had been right. The Williams family was a terrible bunch; their words always left Skylar feeling battered and bruised.
Charles had heard about it before, but now, seeing it firsthand, he was furious.
Skylar’s voice was calm, but her words were biting.”They’re all insane.””They’re seriously messed up,”Charles agreed, his anger simmering.
Samuel stepped forward, his tone hard.”Skylar, I’ll say it one last time. You will no longer be considered my sister if you can’t answer my question.”Kenny frowned deeply.”Samuel, things are different now.”He could see that Skylar no longer cared about the family, and it hurt. A few months ago, she still cared about him.
Samuel scoffed, his voice laced with disdain.”How are things different? She’s found herself some sugar daddy and gone off the deep end. That’s why she doesn’t care about us anymore, isn’t it?”He thought he had figured it all out. Just like Maisy said, Skylar was cheap.
Skylar felt a wave of nausea rising in her chest as she listened to the accusations from both Kenny and Samuel.
“Security!”she called out sharply, her voice trembling with frustration.”These two lunatics are harassing everyone! Please, get them out of here.”Two security guards quickly approached and began to subdue Kenny and Samuel.
“Lunatics?”one of the guards asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes, lunatics!”Charles chimed in with dramatic flair.”Take them to the police station! Some mental asylum must be missing them. My sister is really intimidated. She’ll be traumatized for weeks!”He exaggerated for effect, his acting impeccable.
Kenny and Samuel’s faces turned crimson with rage.
“You—!”Samuel sputtered, struggling against the guard’s hold.
“We’re not lunatics! We know them! That girl is my sister!”Samuel shouted, his voice full of disbelief.
Kenny, equally furious, shouted,”Don’t listen to their nonsense! She’s my sister!”Charles raised his voice, his tone filled with mock horror.”This is the latest scam. Even if they’re not lunatics, they could be human traffickers. My sister’s beautiful. They might snatch her and take her to some godforsaken corner of Southeast Otania!”Skylar immediately hid behind Charles, her voice quivering.”Charles, I’m so scared!”Charles’ acting was flawless, and with Skylar’s fearful reaction, any lingering doubt quickly disappeared. The security guards stood tall, puffing out their chests with a sense of duty.
“Don’t worry, miss,”one of the guards said, his voice firm.”The law will handle them.””Law? Fuck you!”Samuel spat, his rage turning into pure venom.
Kenny, face pressed into the ground, had no words left to argue.
“Didn’t you hear what we said?”Samuel roared, struggling fiercely but failing to break free.”She’s our sister! Human trafficking? Don’t be ridiculous!”The security guards, mostly ex-soldiers, had the situation under control. Kenny and Samuel were no match for them.
One of the guards gave Skylar an”okay”gesture, signaling that they were in good hands. With the guards keeping watch, there was no way these villains could harm anyone.
Helpless and fuming, Kenny and Samuel were dragged away. Skylar and Charles, satisfied that justice was on their side, walked away from the scene without a second glance. The two troublemakers were taken straight to the nearby police station.
The commotion died down as the evening drew near. Samuel returned to the mansion, his pride and temper both bruised.
