Skylar went dead silent when Miranda hung up her call. She couldn’t believe her mother had the guts to mention that her uncle missed her. It was evident that her uncle, Wesley, was up to no good.
Miranda seemed to have forgotten Wesley was the reason Skylar had been turned into an outcast of the family after Meredith passed on.
Those were the darkest days of Skylar’s life because her life would depend on every single cent she had. As she had no one to rely on, she spent some time living on the streets.
If it weren’t because Penelope had done her a favor, she might have to spend most of her days in the middle of nowhere. She had long gotten used to starving because she couldn’t afford any proper meal.
Miranda dismissed her brother’s responsibilities and thought his wife was the one at fault because he had been stripped of the authority to make the call once they got married.
Once Skylar showed up, she noticed Wesley had been anticipating her arrival at the entrance of the manor.
Since he had shown up to show her the way into the place, Skylar thought it must be a big deal.
Wesley greeted her with a scrunched-up face when she alighted from the car.
She proceeded to tell the driver to head back without her.
However, the driver rebuked, “Ms. Jones, I think it’s better for me to stay around! It’s tough to get yourself a cab home because it’s getting late!”
Skylar was reluctant to waste the driver’s time because he had been driving since the moment she touched down. Thus, she repeated herself, “It’s fine! I’ll hail another cab one way or another! Thanks!”
The driver had grown fond of Skylar because of her straightforward personality. He thought she wasn’t as indifferent as the rumor had claimed her to be.
In fact, she was one of the most easygoing celebrities he had ever encountered throughout his career.
