Chapter 29
Maisy never imagined Skylar would look fine, as if nothing had happened. On top of that, she even gave off an indescribably superior temperament compared to before.
The manager and the other staff at the scene were confused. In their eyes, it seemed like the women
knew each other.
Skylar ignored Maisy and Sadie. Instead, she turned to the manager. “I’m Janine’s daughter, I suspect these women are deliberately causing trouble and framing my mom. If you don’t call the police, I’ll do it myself.”
The manager reacted quickly, trying to soothe and change Skylar’s mind. “Please don’t call the police. Do you ladies know each other? Is there some misunderstanding in this matter?
“Why don’t we all sit down and talk things through? We’d only be complicating things if we called the police. Wouldn’t that make resolving the issue more difficult?”
Sadie’s expression withered as she glowered at Skylar. “Don’t you know who your biological mother is? You’d call the police on your biological mother over this woman? It’s been a while, but you’ve become more of a disrespectful troublemaker!”
“Us having biological relations won’t change anything. The fact that you gave birth to me means nothing compared to Mom, who raised me!
“You’re saying so much about me, but have you considered how Maisy’s being equally disrespectful? She’s fine with framing her biological mother! How’s she any different from a ruthless murderer?” Skylar snapped back while scoffing.
“What did you say? How dare you suggest that woman is comparable to Mom? Skylar, are you trying to ruin mine and Mom’s relationship?” Maisy’s heart raced with anxiety
She had never thought Skylar would be so bold.
Regardless, she refused to acknowledge Janine as her mother. Rage overflowed in her chest as she stomped hard on her heels and marched toward Skylar, wanting to slap the latter.
“Skye!” Janine cried out in shock.
Skylar grabbed Maisy’s arm, spun on her heel, and threw the latter to the ground in one swift move. At the same time, she pressed her knee onto Maisy’s abdomen, rendering the latter unable to move.
Maisy could only kick her legs up in retaliation. She no longer behaved in a ladylike manner; instead, she kicked around so much that others could even see the color of her underwear. “Let me go, Skylar!”

The entire thing had happened so quickly that no one had been able to react. When they finally what had happened, Skylar had slapped Maisy several times.
Maisy had been beaten up so much that her ears rang. After letting out a shrill scream, she snarled, “I’m not done with you, Skylar! I’m calling the cops! How dare you hit me?”
She didn’t know why her entire body ached along with her face.
Sadie finally snapped to her senses and stepped forward to shove Skylar away.
However, Janine stopped Sadie. “As elders, we shouldn’t interfere in our children’s fight.”
Janine had been so worried earlier that she’d almost forgotten Skylar had never lost in a fight back when they had lived in the countryside.
Skylar had only stopped fighting in high school because Janine had sternly prohibited it.
No one knew where Skylar had learned to fight or who’d taught her. Those she’d beaten up had screamed. in pain, but the doctors had never been able to find any injuries on their bodies.
Janine had later learned from Steven that Skylar knew the acupuncture points on everyone’s bodies and could
target those points.
In the eyes of everyone there, Maisy seemed to cry out as if she were in deep agony. However, Janine had gotten used to seeing such a reaction.
That was when a chilling, interrogative voice rang out from the door. “What is this?”
Everyone in the office turned toward the door.
Maisy was so flustered upon seeing the man at the doorway that she wanted to cover her face. Meanwhile, Skylar was a little shocked to see that it was Joe. She wondered why he’d shown
