Chapter 27 "Thanks, Grandma. I'm feeling much better today. I'll visit to keep you company at Pearlhall Residence. once I recover completely," said Skylar.

She only realized that Joe was looking at her the entire tafter she sat down. So, she asked, "Do you need something?" Joe shot her a sarcastic, biting look. "Aren't you surprisingly good at buttering up to Grandma?" "I'm not buttering up to her. It's called giving and receiving. Grandma's nice toand had someone deliver breakfast for me, so it's only fair that I politely thank her.

"Do you have something against sincere social interactions, Mr. Martin? Or do you think it's Grandma's duty to deliver this breakfast for me, so I don't have to thank her at all?" Skylar refuted.

That made Joe completely speechless. He found Skylar incredibly sharp-tongued. It was no wonder Gloria always forgot about his existence when she was with Skylar.

For the rest of the meal, the two didn't exchange another word. It was only when Skylar wanted to do the dishes that Joe spoke up. "Keep them there. I'll do it." "Okay, thanks." Skylar didn't bother playing nice or refuse his help.

She decided that she would take the initiative to bear the household chores whenever Joe got sick within these three years.

Although she was a little displeased this morning, she couldn't deny that Joe had taken good care of her at hand on the way back from the auction house last night.

Because of that, she didn't plan on arguing with him over petty matters.

She fell asleep again after returning to her room.

It was already 10:00 am when Skylar cracked open her bleary eyes.

She felt more energized after her nap this time. Yet, she had just gotten out of bed when she received a call from Charles.

"Skye, I heard you fell sick. Are you feeling any better now? Do you needto accompany you?" he asked. "I'm fine now, Charles. I took smedication last night and woke up feeling much better this morning. Plus, I just took another nap. I'm completely fine now. I'm even thinking of going to visit Mom's workplace.

"Alright, then. I wanted to show you that I'm as competent of a brother as Steven is. Too bad you didn't givethe chance to do it.7 Skylar chuckled and replied, "You're already an amazing person in your own right." Chapter 27 Laughter bubbled from Charles. “I don't care much for others' praises, but I love it when you showerwith compliments." The siblings chatted for a little more before ending the call.

Then, Skylar changed into a fresh set of clothes and put on simple, light makeup before driving to Janine's workplace.

There wasn't much congestion on the road, so she soon arrived at Jubilance Hotel, where Janine worked as a housekeeper.

Jubilance Hotel was not only a five-star hotel but also had an award-winning restaurant inside it.

Janine was a mother of four children and usually didn't make an effort with her appearance. Even so, she was a natural beauty and didn't have many wrinkles, despite being 48 years old.

Sometimes, others often mistook her for Skylar's sister if the two were out in public together.

Janine earned little from her housekeeping job. Her monthly salary was about 4500 dollars. Even if she worked every possible shift, she'd only earn about 5000 dollars.

After deducting her rental fees, she'd end up with 3500 dollars a month. The remaining amount was barely enough for her to do anything with it.

Fortunately, Steven and Charles had been helping to cover sof the household expenses after they'd started working. Plus, Harvey was frugal with money. All of them chipped in seffort to support the family.

Thanks to that, they were now confident that their futures would be bright.

Janine had just shifted to this job last month, so Skylar hadn't visited her yet.

Skylar knew Janine had a half-hour lunch break at 11:30 am. She bought ΠΡ spizza from a nearby restaurant Pizza from and arrived at Jubilance Hotel when it was almost tfor Janine's break.

Once she was outside, she called Janine.

The call rang for ages, but Janine didn't answer.

Skylar glanced at her watch. She waited a little longer after seeing that it was three minutes until 19:30 am.

N After three minutes, she tried calling Janine again, but the latter still didn't answer. She headed into Jubilance Hotel, wanting to ask around at the front desk. "Hi, my mother's nis Janine Yancey. She works as a housekeeper at this hotel.

"It should be her lunch break now, so I'd like to see her. Could you use your hotel's internal line and ask her to cout?"

The receptionist had just agreed and nodded when the front desk's phone rang. Then, the receptionist receptiones's phone answ.

answered it, furrowed her brows, and hung up before turning to Skylar. "Something went wrong on your mother's end. Since you happen to be here now, you can cwithto check on the situation."
