Chapter 207
Joe thought that Skylar really had no interest in him.
The next morning, Janine rushed to Jubilance Hotel. She hurried along while. glancing at her watch; it was almost 8:30 am.
Traffic had been a nightmare, and even the buses had been stuck in the jam. She had realized that she only had a few minutes left before she would be late.
Janine hated being late and usually arrived ten minutes early. Thus, she had decided to jog the last stretch to the hotel.
Yet, someone blocked Janine’s path as she was about to enter the hotel. In her rush, she hadn’t noticed anyone standing nearby.
Startled, she looked up to see Sadie, and her expression immediately turned cold.
“Excuse me,” she said coldly.
After she recognized Sadie, Janine’s mood soured further. Each encounter with
Sadie had been unpleasant, and Janine had low expectations for her character. Thus, this meeting seemed far from coincidental.
“Mrs. Williams, please step aside. I’m late for work.” Janine’s expression was stern.
Sadie looked at Janine, taking in her cleaning uniform with barely concealable
disdain. Though Sadie tried to hide it, Janine could see it clearly in her gaze.
Janine knew that, in Sadie’s world, people were judged and categorized based on
their social status.
But she believed in the dignity of earning her own living. She neither stole nor
begged, and she certainly didn’t owe Sadie any explanation.
Sadie’s attitude was entirely uncalled for.
“I need to talk to you,” Sadie said, frowning.
Amidst the bustling activity at Jubilance Hotel, Sadie wore sunglasses and a mask to
avoid being seen talking to a cleaner.
“Sorry, I don’t have time. I’ve got a lot of work to do. If you have something to say, you can find me during my lunch break,” Janine replied without hesitation.
Sadie’s face darkened. “How much can you earn for this job anyway? I can pay you a month’s salary for just 30 minutes of your time. Besides, I already spoke to your
manager.”
Sadie would never have come to Janine if Skylar hadn’t been so hostile to the Williams family. The way Sadie saw it, Janine, who was a widow working a lowly job,
wasn’t worth her time or consideration.
Janine’s expression grew colder. “You arranged for me to take time off without even asking my opinion?”
“I said I’d pay you a month’s salary. Just give me your bank details, and I’ll transfer it now,” Sadie replied dismissively.
Janine’s anger boiled over at Sadie’s audacity. If Sadie could display such brazen entitlement toward her, it was no wonder they had treated Skylar so badly.
“Drop your arrogance. Who do you think you are? If it weren’t for Skylar, I wouldn’t even tolerate your presence,” Janine said angrily, pushing Sadie aside.
Janine had gotten accustomed to physical labor from years of hard work. She easily. pushed aside Sadie, whose high heels and elegant attire left her stumbling and
nearly falling.
“Janine!” Sadie shouted, her voice cracking.
Janine looked at Sadie coldly before walking into the hotel. She knew all too well that Sadie wouldn’t have come with good news.

Janine recalled Sadie’s manipulative tactics in the past, including faking sickness to
lure Skylar back to Williams Residence.
Thus, she harbored no illusions about Sadie’s intentions now. There was simply no
reason to entertain Sadie..
“Do you eve
you even know what Skye is up to these days?” Sadie called after her.
“She’s working for Mr. Gardner Senior now. You probably don’t even know what that means. His team ranks among the top in Jipsburg City for restoring ancient artifacts.
“No one could get in without real expertise! But Skylar got in. How do you think she managed to do that?
“By using her body! I bet those fancy shoes you’re wearing were bought with money she earned by selling herself! Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Don’t you feel ashamed wearing those shoes, Janine? Don’t act like you know.
nothing. Did you push Skylar into this, all for the sake of a better life? Do you even have any integrity left?” Sadie accused.
