Tobias cleared his throat while trying to ease the situation for her. “Don’t take everything on the internet too seriously.”
Claudia smiled with content as she felt her son had become more considerate compared to before. Years ago, he would not blink even if someone were to die in front of him.
She was aware that the internet was full of lies. With the freedom of speech, anyone could fabricate any story they wanted without considering the consequences. Thus, she did not pay much attention to the information she saw online.
If she did not come across that news today, she would not have even thought of having dinner with Skylar. If everything said by her cousin was true, she felt it was necessary to reevaluate Skylar’s personality.
In Claudia’s opinion, she always felt families and relatives should look after each other’s back. It was the minimum quality that any human should have.
Hence, if Skylar were the type who forgot about her close ones after she got famous, Claudia would certainly not be able to accept it.
Skylar was stunned when Claudia asked about Kevin, as she did not expect the latter to be so well informed.
She must think I’m a selfish person who abandon my own family.
Just then, Tobias’ finger poked Skylar’s thigh gently below the table, signaling her not to explain too much.
Before Skylar could open her mouth, Tobias got ahead of her. “Kevin’s fine and healthy. It’s just that he has lost some money and could not pay his debt. That’s how the whole event was twisted.”
Claudia furrowed her brows deeply as she began to grow a prejudice towards Skylar’s family.
She said with despise. “I hope this won’t happen again, regardless of the reason. Ms. Jones, you should reflect on what kind of relatives you have.”
Skylar did not respond but just displayed an unnatural smile.
She could not comprehend what exactly Claudia meant by that. What should I reflect my relatives for? It’s not like I can choose my relatives.
Skylar took a few bites, but she seemed to have lost her appetite, even though the dishes were mainly her favorite.
