Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 769

Miranda refused to believe it. “You don't have any money? That's impossible. I read in the news that a female celebrity earned one hundred and fifty million for a movie. Why aren't you like her?”

Skylar responded in exasperation, “I'm curious about that too. Why am I not like her? It's embarrassing to ask that question, though. People might think I'm being greedy by demanding a higher price. I know myself well; no matter how hard I try, they won't increase my worth.”

She glanced at the contract and continued, “You don't have a good eye for investments. This is clearly a scam targeting vulnerable people, especially the elderly.”

Miranda, on the other hand, believed that Skylar also lacked a discerning eye for investments. It had taken her considerable effort to find such a promising project. She couldn't believe Skylar didn't leap at the chance.

Anxiously, she attempted to persuade Skylar to reconsider. “They called me and threatened to remove me from the project if I don't submit my investment within three days. You have to transfer one million to me today. It's not a large sum.”

Skylar gave her a pointed look. “One million isn't a large sum to you, huh? Mom, you have no idea how hard I have to work to earn one million. I've stayed up for twenty-three hours straight to film continuously. When you see how busy I am, you'll know that I don't earn my money easily.”

Miranda remained in her own world and refused to listen to Skylar no matter what the latter said.

Skylar brushed off her pleas, remaining resolute in her decision not to offer any money to Miranda.

She hadn't received the remaining payment from the previous reality show yet. It wasn't a substantial amount, though. As filming progressed, Skylar realized that her workload was increasing while her earnings remained modest.

Miranda had been content with the monthly allowance Skylar provided her. However, recently, Skylar reduced the amount, leaving Miranda struggling to cover her expenses.
