Chapter 44
“Photoshopped?” the group uttered simultaneously.
“Yeah! Why would I steal Skylar’s boyfriend? I don’t get it. Why would she do this to me? Tears trickled from Maisy’s eyes as she put on a distressed act.
The three Williams brothers adored Maisy to bits. So, they immediately found Skylar despicable when Maisy told them that.
“I’m going to Skylar, I’ll make her post an official social media statement to clear the air right now,” Peter
snarled.
Kenny’s features contorted into a repulsed expression. “She’s grown bolder these days and is behaving more out of line!”
“We should force her to come home so she can properly apologize to Maisy!” Samuel chimed in with a
scowl. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Sadie listened to her sons‘ words before examining the photo on her phone again. It looked too real to be photoshopped. Yet, she believed Maisy would never lie, so Skylar had to be the one lying here.
Even after taking a deep breath, she still felt furious. “That brat is full of problems!”
Maisy kept crying and didn’t say anything more. She knew her family well. The less she spoke, the more pitiful she’d appear in their eyes, and they’d believe Skylar was at fault.
At the same time, Maisy wondered if Christopher had lost his mind.
Why would he post about proposing on social media this early in the day? Not only that, but it seemed odd that Skylar had been determined to clarify that they were no longer dating.
Maisy wondered when exactly Skylar had found out about her and Christopher’s affair. She could’ve sworn they had hidden it well.
Peter called Skylar several times, but the latter didn’t answer. “She’s got some nerve to ignore my calls!”
“She’s not answering mine either!” Kenny seethed.
“Let me try.” Samuel took his phone and tried calling Skylar. Alas, the latter st

didn’t answer.
Skylar had been trying to win over their affection since her reunion with the Williams family. Yet, she was
ignoring their calls now.
Sadie didn’t bother trying since the trio’s attempts led to the same result. She didn’t know why Skylar was throwing this tantrumn and ignoring them now.
The entire family fell silent.
Eventually, Samuel spoke up with a frown. “We must find her today. If she doesn’t clear up the lies, people.

will surely expose this scandal to the media if they recognize Maisy from the photo!”
He worked in the entertainment industry. So, he knew how quickly news could spread through online platforms and the media.
There was n
no telling whether someone had already taken screenshots of the posts and turned them into
videos on other platforms..
The Williams family was considered a reputable family in Jipsburg City. They couldn’t risk being involved
in scandals.
Maisy hadn’t thought that far. Her eyes widened at Samuel. “That photo is fake, Samuel! I don’t want to get exposed by the media!”
“Let’s see what happens for now, then try to contact Skylar again. We must be ready for the worst scenario. I’ll also contact my friends in the media industry first for some PR control. Don’t worry, Maisy.” Samuel said. Then, he turned to call his friends.
Maisy nodded obediently, but as she lowered her head, there was a malicious gleam in her eyes. After all, she knew the photo wasn’t photoshopped.
The Williamses had taken her side. Plus, Samuel’s friends owned media companies, and the Williams family had many social connections in Jipsburg City.
Maisy could easily twist the narrative, and there was nothing Skylar could do about it.
Sadie took the chance to call Jeffrey. However, the latter seemed to be exasperated and busy with something else. He only said he’d let his sons handle the matter.
When the call ended, Sadie felt oddly defeated in her heart. It was an indescribable sensation. Still, she told herself it was likely because Skylar had pissed her off too much.
