Leaning on the sofa with her legs crossed, she sneered, “They really are desperate. I told them that I will give them an answer in three days, and it has only been a day and a half since then. They just want to put me in a difficult spot, thinking that I will waver due to my pity for Kevin. However, given what he has done at such a young age, he doesn’t deserve my sympathy at all.”
Miranda was peeved at how Wesley’s family was threatening Skylar. After all, she knew Skylar didn’t have that much money.
Grabbing Skylar by her arm, Miranda pulled her up from the sofa. She suggested angrily, “Let’s go and confront them. I want to know why they are blackmailing us. All this while, they have always boasted about how capable their daughter is. But now that they have a crisis, why aren’t they banking their hopes on her? Instead, they chose to victimize you.”
Miranda had blown her top off. It wasn’t until she heard the doorbell, that she let Skylar go and opened the door.
Sitting on her sofa, Skylar’s eyes widened in shock. Although Miranda had pushed the person out, she caught a clear glimpse of who it was. He was none other than Molly’s father.
Skylar’s gaze darkened as she questioned Miranda, “What are you doing with Molly’s dad?”
Smiling awkwardly, Miranda replied, “You must have gotten it wrong. It was just the milkman. He just informed me that he was out of strawberry-flavored milk, and he only has fresh milk left. I told him that I don’t want any then.”
When Miranda continued to lie blatantly, Skylar suddenly remembered Molly grumbling to her that her mom suspected her dad of having an affair.
Closing her eyes, Skylar took a deep breath as she could feel how suffocating her life had become. Not only does my family not provide any support, but they also seem intent on holding me back and won’t be happy until they have destroyed my reputation.
Despite Skylar’s questioning, Miranda was adamant in her denial and insisted Skylar had made a mistake.
As of now, Skylar wasn’t sure if Molly was trying to get close to her because of her fame or if she had a different agenda instead.
Given how Miranda had always gotten herself into trouble because of love, Skylar warned her not to cause any trouble and reminded her to have some decency.
Irritated by Skylar’s lectures, Miranda quickly got her to leave.
