Chapter 1093
He couldn’t believe that these words actually came from Skyler’s own mother. They had handed their daughter over to him and now there wasn’t even a body left of Skyler
Shouldn’t they be asking him questions? They didn’t! It was as if Skyler was never their child in the first place.
Barbara thought Zavier hadn’t heard clearly, so she repeated what she’d said.
Then, she added. “Mr. Rivera, we know that Skyler has been a handful these years, causing you a lot of troubles. We really appreciate your patience. Now that she’s gone, it might be for the better. We’ll find some sensible girls to take care of you in the future. You won’t have to worry about a thing”
At this point, Zavier finally understood Skyler’s place in their hearts. He chuckled, “Did you give birth to Skyler?”
Barbara answered, “Yes, she was my firstborn. We didn’t know much about raising kids then, so her personality was a bit off. But rest assured, we’ve done a better job with her sisters. They’re nothing like Skyler. They won’t trouble you at all.”
“You’re already troubling me.” Zavier glared at the woman in front of him. Skyler bore some resemblance to her, but he couldn’t see any trace of Skyler in her eyes. This woman’s eyes were filled with greed and schemes.
Barbara replied with a smile, “Mr. Rivera, how have I troubled you? You need to tell me. You can’t keep it bottled up. It’ll only make you upset.”
Barbara’s husband, Bernard, chimed in, “Exactly, Mr. Rivera, we’re all family here. Just tell us what’s bothering you.”
Zavier was furious, “I’m not family with disgusting people like you. Get lost! Stay away from me, I don’t ever want to see you again!”
Zavier was the only one the Blue family could rely on now. Without his financial support, they would be bankrupt in no time. The Blues knew they were barely hanging on, and maybe going bankrupt would be a better option, but they couldn’t stand the thought of being poor and living like one.
They believed that as long as they didn’t declare bankruptcy, they still had a chance to restore the Blue family’s glory and stay in the upper class. They didn’t want, to lose their status, and they didn’t want to be detached from the upper class, so they would never leave Zavier.
Barbara fell to her knees, “Mr. Rivera, if Skyler had done anything wrong, tell me. I’ll apologize on her behalf. We truly see you as family, you can’t just leave us.”
Bernard put on a show, “Sweetheart, don’t worry. Mr. Rivera is just talking. He won’t really cut ties with us, nor will he abandon the Blue family.
Zavier said, “If you don’t leave, you can forget about getting any more money from me in the future.”
Bernard asked, “If we leave, will you still wire us money regularly?”
