My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

A few minutes later, everyone was seated.

Other than Janine, whose face remained mild, Steven, Charles, and Harvey all wore cold and stoic expressions. Skylar appeared calm and unruffled, showing no sign of discomfort.

Only Maisy seemed genuinely aggrieved, her eyes red. Once everyone was settled, she stood up.

“Sorry, Skylar,” Maisy bowed her head deeply. “I was wrong before. During my time with the Williamses, I was unkind to you. I thought you would take away everything that belonged to me.

“I was so scared of losing, especially since I’ve always had an easy life. That’s why

when Mom asked me to come back, I refused. This environment wasn’t what I was

used to.

“Skylar, it was all my fault. Please forgive me. Mom, Steven, Charles, and Harvey, can

you all forgive me too? I promise I’ve changed.”

Maisy took on a very humble posture, looking pitiful and making people feel sorry for

her. Playing the innocent victim was an art in itself, and Maisy had mastered it well.

She could be flexible when needed.

Skylar tightened her grip on her glass of water. Maisy always had a knack for playing the victim. Her apologies were always a surefire hit.

The living room was filled with the aroma of food, but an uneasy silence hung in the

air. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Spit it out. What exactly do you want to do? Do you really think what you did to Skye can be forgiven with just a simple apology?” Charles asked. He had seen through

Maisy’s act.

He was an actor himself, and he could judge whether a person was acting. Maisy

was just another two–faced person; he had seen plenty in the entertainment industry.

Such public apologies were often just a show, hiding their true intentions. Maisy’s performance seemed a bit forced. Did she really think she could fool them all?

Steven had seen the video of Maisy and Christopher together, and she poured dirt on Skylar without hesitation when they were with the Williams family.

Just like Charles, he believed Maisy’s visit to their home was not well–intentioned.

Maisy couldn’t have imagined that her usual tactics, so effective with the Williamses, would fail in front of these people.

Steven and Charles didn’t care whether she felt wronged or not. Even Harvey was wearing an impassive smirk, enjoying the spectacle.

Janine, too, remained unmoved.

Maisy knew Skylar would never forgive her, regardless of whether she apologized.

“I… I don’t have any other intentions. I just feel sorry for Skylar. I was just too foolish before,” Maisy immediately defended herself.

Skylar only glanced at her.

“Skye might be even younger than you. Stop acting so innocent. In fact, you look a decade older than her,” Harvey mocked.

“Harvey!” Maisy couldn’t hold back her anger at the sarcasm. “I’m your real sister!”

“See, that’s her true color.” Harvey scoffed.

Steven stood up. “Maisy, your sudden change in attitude and coming to our house is suspicious. Whatever you’re planning, it won’t work. If you’re truly repentant, this isn’t the right attitude. We don’t welcome you here right now. If you still have something to say, come back next time.”
