Chapter 620 Old Enough To Be Your Dad
Staring at the dark clouds outside the car window, Skylar heard the sky rumble, as if a thunderstorm was approaching.
She was listening to Miranda nagging about money.
Sick of hearing it, she stuffed her ears with her earphones, which were quickly taken down by an exasperated Miranda.
Miranda glared at her. “Skylar, can you at least show some concern? Setting aside the matter of how much of the redevelopment compensation is mine, you can’t go on offending every single person within the family. What’s the use of leaving the old manor there? Will it bring your grandma back? Wake up, and stop dreaming.”
Skylar averted her gaze away from Miranda’s scowling face, for she knew the latter was just worried about being humiliated in front of their relatives, making things awkward for her going forward.
Evidently, Miranda wasn’t aware that those same relatives had ridiculed her during her time in prison. They had never shown her any respect, to begin with.
In fact, she was nothing but the butt of their jokes.
“Skylar, your mom has been locked up for so long, do you miss her?”
“Going forward, remember not to reveal to anyone that your mom is a convicted murderer. If you do, no one will be willing to marry you due to your family history.”
“Despite how pretty your mom was back then, look at how she ended up? You had better not follow in her footsteps.”
Back then, she too wondered if she would manage to find a husband because her relatives did have a point. No ordinary family would be willing to accept someone like her.
Skylar remarked casually, “I don’t care if you believe it or not, but I wasn’t aware of this matter. What else can I do when you rather believe your niece over your own daughter?”
