After all, she’s the one who stirred up this ss.

Arriving at the café, Faye Hawthorne asked directly, "What exactly do you want?"

"Actually, it’s nothing much. I just want Auntie to help a bit."

Skylar Hughes hung her head and said, "After the last incident, my reputation tanked. Now, even finding a normal person to have a relationship with feels like a luxury..."

What she really ant was that all this was caused by Faye Hawthorne, and sohow Faye must be responsible.

Faye Hawthorne’s mouth twitched; she definitely didn’t want to take the bla.

Skylar’s reputation wasn’t already ruined anyway? And that was her own doing, what’s it got to do with Faye Hawthorne?

So, Faye Hawthorne said, "So I can’t help you."

Skylar grabbed Faye’s hand, "Auntie, how could you not help ? You belong to The Hawthorne Family, which is big and powerful; if you have the intention, you surely can help..."

If you can’t help , it only shows you lack intention.

Faye Hawthorne, "..."

She must have been incredibly unlucky back then to ever think Skylar Hughes was a nice girl.

"Besides, Auntie, the favor I’m asking won’t bother you much, just a small gesture. Helping wouldn’t be a big deal."

Faye was really annoyed by Skylar’s persistence and asked, "What exactly do you want to help with?"

Skylar started crying again.

Knowing her true self, her pitiful crying didn’t evoke any sympathy from Faye Hawthorne.

She only felt annoyed, thinking it’d be better to find Paige to watch her fiddle with those high-tech gadgets than listening to Skylar cry.

"Auntie, I’ve truly seen the light. Those n who were around before claid to love , but actually they loved my status as the Sterling Family’s heiress and my beauty. Once those are gone, they turn ruthless. I’ll never believe those jerks again, nor waste my ti dating hypocritical n. I just want to follow my mom’s advice to find an honest and reliable man who’ll treat well for life. I don’t care how rich his family is, as long as he has a house and a car, that’s enough. I know you must have such promising young n around you, Auntie, and I believe you wouldn’t harm so could you please help ..."

In Skylar’s mind, Faye’s recomndation would surely be better than Yvette Hughes’ awful choices.

Now she was leveraging Faye’s guilt to gain so benefits, nothing wrong with that, right?

After speaking, Skylar looked eagerly at Faye Hawthorne.

Faye Hawthorne had a look of exasperation; is Skylar Hughes out of her mind?

The more insane thing was Skylar’s next words: "If nobody’s available, that’s okay. I think Archie Archer is great. You agree we’re a good match, right, Auntie...?"

Faye Hawthorne, "..."

This isn’t just crazy; it’s downright lunacy.

Though Archie is an introverted and shy person, he’s still a young master of the Acker Family, excelling in various aspects.

Skylar genuinely thinks Archie would be settling for her?

No wonder she could ruin such promising chances; it’s her lack of self-awareness at play.

Faye Hawthorne imdiately stopped exchanging pleasantries with Skylar Hughes, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Miss Hughes, do you see it’s dayti right now?"

Skylar nodded, "Yes."

Faye Hawthorne, "Then why are you still daydreaming?"

Are kind n rely there to be squandered by you?

Skylar’s expression froze, then she beca teary-eyed, "Auntie, are you like those people, looking down on ? What exactly did I do wrong?"

Faye Hawthorne’s mouth twitched; it wasn’t her intention to look down on Skylar Hughes, but Skylar’s conduct does make her sowhat contemptible.

During this ti in the country, Faye heard quite a lot about Skylar Hughes’ deeds.

The Sterling Family treated her well, yet she backstabbed them several tis, performing ingratitude to the extre.

If those were just hearsay, then Skylar’s obvious interest in Julian Hawthorne despite knowing he and Paige Sterling were a couple was witnessed firsthand.

From these, it’s clear that Skylar Hughes isn’t as gentle and kind as she appears.

How could she let such a woman trouble Archie?

Besides, Archie himself doesn’t like Skylar either; poor nephew is still heartbroken over his crush being his cousin’s wife.

"Miss Hughes, I don’t an to belittle you, just think that you and Archie aren’t suitable."

"How could we be unsuitable? Feelings can be cultivated; as long as you’re willing to help us, Auntie, we’ll definitely beco an enviable couple."

Faye Hawthorne had no intention of assisting, "Miss Hughes, don’t make it difficult for ; my nephew already likes soone."

"I know," Skylar gritted her teeth, "He likes Paige Sterling, but she doesn’t like him, right? Rather than him pining, wouldn’t it be better for him to forget her with a new romance..."

The logic was sound, but that new romance could never be with soone like Skylar Hughes.

Faye opted to avoid further discussion with Skylar, stood up to leave.

Skylar wouldn’t let go, still holding onto Faye.

All of this tugging and pulling really annoyed Faye.

She happened to spot Paige Sterling at this ti.

Faye’s eyes lit up and she imdiately called to Paige.

Paige walked over, asking, "Auntie, are you alright?"

Faye hastened to Paige’s side.

Seeing Paige, Skylar’s face naturally turned unpleasant.

Was Paige deliberately ssing up her plans again?

It seed Paige couldn’t stand to see her succeed anywhere.

"Paige, I’m chatting with Auntie. Why are you here?"

Paige, "Can’t you see my aunt doesn’t want to chat with you?"

"Clearly, Auntie and I were having a pleasant conversation..."

Faye Hawthorne, "Miss Hughes, let’s stop here, I really can’t help you."

Then she took Paige’s arm, "Paige, let’s go."

Paige nodded and left with Faye.

Even near forty, Faye clung to Paige’s arm like a lovestruck teenager.

This scene showed how well Paige and Faye get along.

Skylar clenched her fists, gritting her teeth.

Why could Paige effortlessly snatch away what she sched hard to obtain?

Paige! Paige!

The beauty salon owned by Chloe Hughes was nearby; in her frustration, Skylar went to find Chloe, only to find her cozying up with a man in a room.

Skylar turned green with envy as she listened outside for a while; the man seed to rise in status because of his wife’s family connections.
