Skylar was horrified by the thought of Miranda announcing their relationship to the entire neighborhood.
When Miranda recalled something she had in mind, she summoned Skylar over and started nagging her daughter, “Skylar, can’t you keep an eye on UncleWesley? Sharon has been picking a fight with me over the past few days. She told me the things you did, including the part you dismissed her when she needed you to do her a trivial favor. Eva had to approach Tobias to sort out the issue.”
Irritated by the accusation that came out of nowhere, Skylar rebuked, “What? How could you blame me when I had asked Tobias to proceed with the refund? Can you have faith in me for once and stop being deceived by Eva?”
Unfortunately, Miranda found Skylar’s statement suspicious. She thought Skylar had been lying to deny her responsibilities. After all, it wouldn’t be easy to talk about money.
Skylar had enough of her mother’s skeptical look. She broke the silence, asserting in a callous tone, “Take all the time you need to gather your thoughts because I’ll be leaving. If you wish to stay here, please keep the place clean. It gets on my nerve whenever I step into the foyer because the magnificent place seems like a recycling station.”
Miranda sighed because things would end up getting tensed whenever she brought up the topic of her brother and his family in front of Skylar.
When Skylar was a step away from the entrance, Miranda rushed over and directed an embarrassing question at her.
She leaned over and whispered, “Are you having a great time with Tobias? Have you been taking precautionary steps when having raunchy fun with him?”
Skylar flushed and asked in return, “Seriously? Mom, is that any of your business? Can you stop bringing this up because it’s making me uncomfortable!”
“I visited a fortune teller and guess what? Your life is about to take a drastic turn for the better if you get married and give birth this year. Why don’t you get yourself conceived as soon as possible? At least there is something to keep you and Tobias connected. If that’s the case, I’ll get to rely on you and spend a carefree life for the rest of my life.”
“Why don’t you get him to tell you if you’re going to hit the jackpot because there’s no way I’m getting pregnant anytime soon. I don’t have time for a child.”
Miranda tapped on her daughter’s head and urged, “You’re such a foolish woman! Your father had filed for divorce with me because that b*tch was pregnant back then! Keep that in mind and refrain from repeating my mistake!”
Her daughter exposed her without a second thought. “Wasn’t it because of Irene’s wealth? He just couldn’t resist the temptation of rising to the throne over the night.”
Miranda insisted that wasn’t the case and blamed Irene’s son.
