After receiving the video message from his subordinate, Skyler went straight to Room No. 1902, where Shirley and Wade were staying.
Standing before the door of the room, Skyler hesitated for a moment. In the end, he knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock...
I sounded urgent like the beating of his heart. He was nervous yet afraid; he was afraid of what he would see inside.
"Who is it?" A man's voice could be heard from the inside.
Skyler's heart sank to the pit of his stomach in an instant. He wanted to respond, but couldn't find the words to say.
Creak—
The door was opened to reveal the man wrapped in a towel around his waist. His hair was still wet as water droplets trickled down his torso. It was Wade!
Skyler's face turned pale for a moment, but Wade calmly looked at him without uttering a word.
The two stared at each other as though it was a silent competition.
"Wade, who is it?" It was Shirley.
"Oh, it's nothing. Just a staff asking if we need room cleaning," Wade explained.
"Come over and help me massage my back, will you? I'm so tired." Everything sounded so real. Her coquettish tone was that of someone who had just indulged in intense pleasure.
Skyler's heart sank deeper and deeper. He could almost hear the sound of his heart breaking and feel the pain of his heart bleeding. The pain spread throughout his body, screaming in agony through his body cells.
Sofia was taken aback because she didn't expect Shirley to have figured everything out. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"A fake pregnancy test, tricking me into leaving Skyler, and targeting my family. Isn't it all to force me to leave Skyler? Sofia Green, I did everything you asked me to do. I beg you. Just stay away from my family in the future."
She had been wondering why Sofia had forced her to pretend to be in a relationship with Wade for the past few days. Wasn't it all part of Sofia's trap?
Regardless, Shirley had no choice but to go along with it.
The Green Family could set her family up that easily, let alone the Robins. If she continued to stay with Skyler, her family would be in peril.
Despite that, there was no turning back now that things had escalated this far.
