Chapter 181
The moment Yosef heard the smoothie was from Victor, he “accidentally” let it slip, sending the cup crashing to the floor and spilling the drink
everywhere.
The smoothie spilled all over the floor, forming a sticky puddle.
“My bad, it slipped,” Yosef said flatly, not a trace of remorse on his face.
The assistant remained silent. Having worked with Victor for years and met countless people, he could tell that Yosef was not to be trifled with.
“We’ve ordered plenty, so one spilled cup won’t make a difference,” the assistant said smoothly, producing another cup of smoothie and setting it on the table beside Yosef. “I’ll have someone clean this up shortly.”
Yosef gave a flat grunt.
Adam happily clutched his smoothie and took two sips, only for Yosef to abruptly snatch it away.
Adam pouted, his eyes brimming with grievance. “Daddy, what are you doing?”
“You can’t drink this sugary junk. It’s bad for your health,” Yosef snapped…
Adam had just gotten a taste of the sweet drink and wanted more. Pouting, he mumbled, “Daddy, you are just making that up. gonna ask Mommy.”
Adam toddled toward Skylar on his little legs.
Looking up at her with big, pleading eyes, Adam asked in a pitiful voice, “Mommy, can I have some smoothie?”
Skylar picked him up and said gently, “Just a small sip, okay?”
I don’t believe you, I’m
“Daddy wouldn’t let me have it,” Adam pouted, drooping listlessly against Mommy’s shoulder. “I only got one tiny sip of smoothie, then Daddy snatched the rest away.”
Victor couldn’t resist Adam’s pitiful puppy–dog eyes. Holding out his own smoothie, he offered the little guy a few sips. “Don’t worry, little man. You can have some of Uncle’s drink.”
After a few big sips of smoothie, Adam beamed with contentment/
Skylar looked at him and said gently but firmly, “Alright, that’s enough for now. No more.”
Adam was an obedient boy. The moment Skylar said no, he immediately pushed Victor’s hand away. “Okay, Uncle Victor, no more.”
From a distance, Yosef watched as Adam and Victor laughed and joke hand on the chair so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Yosef thought darkly, ‘What a scheming bastard. He knows exactly how

win Skylar over, which is by targeting the people she cares about most.”
He scoffed inwardly, ‘Dream on if he thinks he can get with Skylar!‘
After wrapping up today’s shoot, Skylar reviewed the footage with the director. Since everything went smoothly, she gathered her things and got ready to
head back and rest.
As soon as Skylar stepped out of the conference room, a hand suddenly grabbed her from behind. She instinctively seized the wrist, and the two began struggling against each other.

Skylar struggled but was overpowered, her wrist seized as Yosef pinned her firmly against the wall.
She said, “Yosef, have you lost your damn mind?”
Yosef’s dark eyes bore into Skylar, “Skylar, what exactly is going on between you, Blake, and Caden?”
Finally cornering Skylar alone, Yosef skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point, firing off all the burning questions that had been eating at
him.
Skylar pursed her lips, unwilling to reveal her relationship with her brothers. “What’s between me and them is none of your business,” she retorted.
