Chapter 319: Chapter 319

Skylar Hughes looked at Henry Hale and realized that the man who was always gentle and considerate to her was not speaking for her this time, nor did he stop Dad Hale’s actions.

She felt as if she had fallen into an icy abyss, suddenly discovering that perhaps from the very beginning, she had been just a pawn in Henry Hale’s hand—a pawn that wasn’t even valued much.

"Henry, even if the information I got is useless, you know my heart is truly with you. Am I really less important to you than a document?"

"Sweet girl, don’t ask such foolish questions."

Henry Hale was ruthless, "You understand, your only value was being the adopted daughter of the Sterling Family, but now, I doubt you can even enter the Sterling Family’s doorstep. The Sterlings might even make you pay a heavy price. If you truly like me as much as you say, then I beg you not to implicate our Hale Family, can you?"

The man who was usually as gentle as jade, at this moment, smiled with a face full of cruelty and apparent despicableness.

Skylar Hughes looked at Henry Hale in disbelief, "Henry Hale, have you always been using me?"

Henry Hale shook his head, "No, not anymore."

He smiled softly, "After all, you no longer have any value to use."

From the beginning, Skylar Hughes was never of any value to be used.

It was only when Henry Hale had a bit of expectation for Skylar Hughes that he casually gave her some hope.

Sure enough, in the end, Skylar Hughes disappointed him.

And Henry Hale’s indifference and cruelty were unbearable for Skylar Hughes, "Henry Hale, how can you treat me !?"

But Henry Hale no longer paid attention to Skylar Hughes.

Skylar Hughes was thrown out of the Hale Family by security, looking very pathetic.

She screamed and shouted in a somewhat collapsed state several times.

Why? Why would even Henry Hale treat her this way?

Skylar Hughes hated Henry Hale, hated Yvette Hughes, hated Jared Sullivan...

But in the end, she realized she hated Paige Sterling even more.

The document was fake, which meant from the beginning, Paige set up a trap for her to fall into.

So it was all because of Paige. Paige caused her to end up , caused her wishes to fall apart again and again!

Paige only learned the next day that Yvette was hospitalized.

She had long anticipated that doing so wouldn’t bring Skylar Hughes too much harm, because with Yvette around, neither she nor Jared could really do anything to Skylar Hughes.

Her intention wasn’t to harm Skylar Hughes, but to make Jared realize that Skylar was a person without limits. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

In fact, she also wanted Yvette to know that her daughter could resort to any means to achieve her goals. If Yvette truly wanted to safely give birth to this child, the most sensible action would be to stay away from this daughter.

The warnings she gave were already ample, and if Yvette continued , Paige wouldn’t intervene anymore with what happened to her later.

No one can continually help someone who is caught in their own web.

Nevertheless, Paige still went to the hospital to visit Yvette when she arrived, and Jared was also still at the hospital.

"Dad, are you alright?"

"I’m fine," Jared said, "I really didn’t expect that I’d invite a wolf into the house..."

Back then, if he hadn’t agreed to let Yvette bring Skylar to the Sterling Family on a whim, none of this would have happened.

Moreover, if he hadn’t married Yvette back then, he wouldn’t be in today’s dilemma.

"Dad, if you’re fine, just forget it. Take good care of Aunt Xavier, I’m going back."

She felt it was best not to go in to see Yvette.

Jared, however, said, "How can this be let go? This time I definitely won’t let her off!"

He wanted to make Skylar go to jail!

"Dad, take care of Aunt Xavier first. If you really take action against Skylar right now, it will create a rift between you and Aunt Xavier. After all, she’s still pregnant, and if her emotions fluctuate too much, it won’t be good for the child."

This was Yvette’s reliance, and also Skylar’s reliance, always believing that having a child of the Sterling Family meant she could act recklessly.

Jared gritted his teeth, "I can’t just let her off the hook."

Paige thought for a moment, "Dad, why don’t you let me handle it first."

Paige left the hospital and happened to run into a dazed Skylar.

Skylar was probably at the hospital to see Yvette and seek forgiveness and empathy, playing the family card.

This was one of her tricks, anyway, every time she convinced Yvette, Yvette would always find a way to protect her.

Because Yvette was her mother, how could a mother not care about her daughter?

And since Yvette had a child of the Sterling Family, how could the father not care about the child in his wife’s belly?

She was utterly fearless, not afraid that the Sterling Family would do anything to her.

Seeing Paige, malice instantly gathered in her eyes as she stared with gritted teeth at Paige.

Paige chuckled, approaching her, "How’s it going? Got what you wanted?"

"Paige, you’ve been scheming against me from the start?"

Paige said, "You think others are too dumb."

From the beginning, it was Henry Hale who was playing with Skylar.

Skylar, however, thought she was outstanding and extraordinary, believing she had Henry in her hand.

But these, Skylar would never consider, even now, she still believed she wasn’t wrong, that her situation was all caused by wicked people.

"Paige, you just can’t stand me doing well, right? No matter what, my mom is your stepmother, treating me , what good does it do for you?"

Skylar said, "My mom was really blind marrying into the Sterling Family, there isn’t a single decent person in your whole family!"

Paige said, "...," heh.

Skylar continued to accuse, "You’re so malicious, does Julian know? Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Julian everything you’ve done to me?"

Paige tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Don’t take yourself so seriously, no one cares if you’re aggrieved, as for whether I’m malicious or not..."

Paige slightly provoked Skylar, "Maybe Mr. Hawthorne likes my wickedness."

"Paige, you’re shameless!"

Paige chuckled as if looking at an idiot.

Skylar gritted her teeth fiercely.

Why did Paige look down on her? Why?

Skylar was determined to hurt Paige in any way possible, even if it meant self-harm, she would never let Paige have it easy!

These days, Julian’s mood has clearly been excellent, and the company employees could all see it.

And the person most affected by Julian’s good mood was Shaun Jones, as he was Julian’s secretary.

He knew, the only one who could keep Julian in such a good mood was Paige.

Now, he prayed every day, hoping Julian and Paige wouldn’t have any marital conflicts, so that all of them could work easier without living under Julian’s high pressure.

Because of the relaxed atmosphere from Julian’s good mood, Shaun was less reserved around him and even asked, "President Hawthorne, have you been getting along well with your wife lately?"

Even though daily life was just about trivial matters.

But as long as he could see Paige every day, Julian seemed to be happy.

And he didn’t feel tired of it at all.

Julian couldn’t help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

Shaun sighed internally several times, "No wonder, President, you’re wearing different clothes every day now."

Before, Julian wore different clothes every day but only in terms of not repeating the same set, as the style was still the same.

Now, Julian wore different styles every day, and the traditional black, white, and gray suits were long abandoned.

Currently, Julian dressed more fashionably than male models every day, almost like a walking fashion model. If he appeared in the entertainment industry, his looks and taste could easily outshine all the young handsome men and seasoned actors there.
