Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 42

Even so, Skylar couldn’t be bothered to care. She lightly pushed the door open, only to instantly hear a roar coming from afar.

“You’ve got some serious nerve bringing your mother here, Skylar!”

Skylar hurriedly shut the door to prevent Miranda from hearing the voice in the hallway.

What a lively day it was, having her father and his current wife, Irene Ziegler, suddenly show up today.

Skylar was bewildered. How did they know Mom’s been brought here? Did they sniff her out like dogs?

Seeing them again made her unable to control her emotions, but she masked her true feelings well and met their gazes casually.

“She’s just finished her sentence, so she’s getting treated at the hospital. Why can’t I bring her here?”

Thomas glared at her. “You’ve become so brazen after we haven’t seen each other for years. You even took your mother to Haywest Hospital. How do you intend to pay the bills? Are you going to come crying for my help when you land yourself in debt?”

Skylar smiled faintly. “What use is there calling for you? I begged for your help when my grandma was dying, but did you give me a single cent back then?”

Irene held onto Thomas’ arm in grief. “This daughter of yours is getting real clever, Honey. She even managed to get a prisoner on death row released. If it weren’t for her mother, my sister would’ve still been alive by now. Miranda’s a murderer who should die behind bars.”

In an excessive act of self-defense, Miranda had accidentally killed Irene’s sister back then.

Skylar could still recall how she had just come home from school when Miranda was being taken away by the police.

She could never forget that sight. The neighbors had surrounded the young girl, gazing at her pitifully. Some even seemed rather gleeful.

Skylar raised an eyebrow. “Oh, please. I’m not that capable. It’s not like I’m the one setting the law here. They told me to go fetch her, so I did. What’s wrong with that?”
