âYulia, why are you so innocent? Even your fatherâs heart attack hasnât changed her mind. What makes you think that she will give up ingratiating the Wexlerâs family now? Something must have happened in the company and Yvonne couldnât handle it. Thatâs why they are in such a hurry to ask you back. They want you to take the blame,â sniggered Skylar.
âIf thatâs the case, as the former CEO of the company, shouldnât I help when the company is in trouble?
After all, it doesnât bring me any good if something happens to the Sue family,â Yulia said, hesitating.
âWell, if you insist to help, wait until they come for you. Do they really think they can do whatever they want?â Skylar snorted.
âButâ¦â
âJust do as I said. Itâs getting late. Letâs send Lola to the kindergarten first.â After saying that, Skylar carried Lolo and walked out of the door.
Yulia had no choice but to follow him.
When the three of them reached the gate, they met Lincoln and Betty who had just come back from their morning walk.
âYulia, your grandma called just now and asked you to go back to work?â Lincoln asked. He seemed excited.
âDid Grandma call you too?â Yulia asked. âPerhaps Skylar is right. Something must have happened to Kareem Fashion. Otherwise, Grandma wonât call everyone so eagerly,â she wondered.
âThen why are you still standing there? Go change and go to work!â urged Betty.
Yulia forced a smile and wanted to say something but Skylar, who was standing next to her, interrupted, âWell, Iâve told Yulia to wait for Madam Sue, Charles, and Yvonne to come to beg her before going back.â
Hearing that, both Lincoln and Betty were shocked. âWhat? Wait for them to come to beg Yulia? What is he talking about?â they gasped.
âSkylar, whom do you think you are? How dare you interfere in our family affairs? Mother called Lincoln and asked Yulia to go back to work, which means she wonât kick us out! Do you know the consequences if you do this?â Betty berated.
âTrust me. They will come,â Skylar said calmly and got into the car with Lola in his arms.
âIs he trying to get us into trouble?â Seeing Yulia drive her car away, Betty was so angry that she stamped her feet.
âDoes he really have a way to let Mother and Charles come?â Lincoln wondered.
Hearing that, Betty couldnât help but sneer, âStop daydreaming! Since Mother took over the company, she only has eyes for Charles and his family. She never takes you and Yulia seriously. Youâre also her son, but look at what youâve done?â Betty began to blame Lincoln again.
Lincoln seemed frustrated and was getting more annoyed with Skylar.
After sending Lola to school, Yulia frowned as she scrolled her mouse, looking at the hiring advertisements on the computer screen. She didnât think her grandmother would come to beg her to go back to work. Her hope to go back to work vanished as soon as Skylar rejected the offer. She had no choice but to find a way out for herself in advance.
On the other hand, Skylar, the one who started the whole thing, calmly sat aside and played games on his mobile phone.
Seeing that, Yulia was so angry that she wanted to throw the ashtray on the coffee table at his head.
However, although Skylar was reckless, he always stood up and protect Yulia without any reason. Yulia had no choice but sigh helplessly.
Lincoln and Betty were picking green peppers in the small vegetable garden when a black BMW stopped at the gate of their house.
Two people got out of the car. They were Yvonne and Charles.
âCharles and Yvonne! They are really here!â Lincoln exclaimed. However, in the next moment, his eyes widened like bells.
âMom is here too?â Betty asked in disbelief.
As soon as Charles and Yvonne got off the car, Charles opened the back door and helped Madam Sue get off.
âMom, why are you here? Just give me a call if you need anything.â Lincoln was surprised.
Betty couldnât help but nod too. âLincolnâs right. You no need to come personally.â
Nonetheless, Madam Sue glanced at them and asked, âWhere is Yulia? I heard that she is sick.â
Lincoln was shocked. Yulia was busy looking for a job in the living room. âWhat if Mother finds out she pretended to be sick?â he gasped. âYulia never lied. It must be Skylarâs idea.â
âYulia, Grandma heard that you were sick and is here to see you!â Betty shouted. She wanted to hint at Yulia beforehand.
Unexpectedly, Skylar came out right at that time and said, âYulia is not sick. Sheâs looking for a job online right now.â
âDamn it!â Skylarâs words almost scared Lincoln and Betty to death. âSkylar! Get out of here!â
âHe was the one who said that Yulia was sick in the first place. How could he go back with his words?
Is he going to ruin our family?â Betty mused.
âYulia is really sick. Donât believe Skylar. He always likes to talk nonsense!â Panic, Lincoln tried to explain in a hurry.
Hearing that, Madam Sue narrowed her eyes and asked, âWhat are you talking about?â
âWell, donât think that the Sue family is as important as you think for Yulia,â Skylar answered coldly.
âYouâ¦â Madam Su was so angry that she wanted to throw her crutch at Skylar.
âSkylar, how dare you disrespect Grandma?â Yvonne chided.
Charles frowned. âSkylar, youâre not a member of the Sue family. Why do you meddle in our family affairs?â
âSkylar, get out of here right now. Donât think that you can be my son-in-law after staying at my house for one night!â Betty rebuked.
However, no matter how angry they were, Skylar was not a bit affected. âMadam Sue, why are you here in a hurry? Did something happen in the company and need Yuliaâs help?â
Hearing that, Madam Sueâs face darkened. âYouâre the one behind it? Why? What do you benefit from doing all these?â
âNothing. Nothing at all, but I know you wonât watch the Sue family go down without doing anything,â
replied Skylar.
âSo, are you sure you can defeat me?â
Suddenly, Skylar smiled. âMadam Sue, I just want you to see how capable Yulia is. Please forgive me if youâre offended.â
The corners of Madam Sueâs mouth twitched as she heard that. Skylar was not as simple as he looked.
âWhereâs Yulia? I want to ask her in person whether itâs her idea or yours!â After saying that, Madam Sue walked into the house.
