Winnie’s wrath was written all over her face. She warned Skylar with her teeth clenched, “Stop playing pretend in front of me! You were the one behind the scenes at the place of the Fords! You won’t get to become one of the Fords because Tobias will never marry you!”
Skylar forced a smile and asserted, “Oh? Why would I want to join the household of the Fords when Tobias had given me everything I sought? Speaking of which, have you no shame as a fellow woman? Why don’t you stay away from Sheldon when he has made himself clear it’s over between you and him?”
Skylar had rubbed salt into Winnie’s wound. As a result, Winnie yelled, “Thanks for your concerns, but that’s none of your business because we’re just fine! Why don’t you mind your business instead of being a busybody, listening to baseless accusations from others?”
Shrugging her shoulders, Skylar announced, “Am I not supposed to return the favor when you have expressed your concerns over my relationship with Tobias?”
Winnie could barely suppress her wrath and started stomping her feet. She felt a strong urge to take out the woman in front of her because she would be having a great time in life if Skylar hadn’t gotten in her way.
In the meantime, Skylar noticed a bunch of paparazzi had shown up and started following her the moment she stepped out of the company.
Although it was something she had to deal with being a public figure, she found it unbearable since she would have to carry herself in an elegant manner at all times. Otherwise, she would make it to the headline for something negative.
Once she boarded the MPV that was parked nearby, she headed over to Miranda’s place.
When Skylar showed up, she saw her mother on the couch, watching television with a plate of fruits on the coffee table.
Ever since she was released, she became a television addict and binge-watched a few melodramas.
