She Got A Better Man novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 

“No need, just relax. I can manage: I’m checking on my phone for instructions,” Zach said, pointing to the phone beside him 

Elvira gave him a thumbs–up. Suddenly, there was a loud knock the door, startling everyone. Elvira and Zach looked at the door, exchanging a glance before Zach put down what he wholding and, with Elvira, walked toward it. 

Skylar had already walked to the door to see who it was. When she saw the person outside, she turned back and said, “Samuel Gilbert, what’s he here for? Zach intended to have the bodyguard handle it, but Skylar had already opened the door before he could act. 

Samuel, who was about to confront Zach, was met with Skylar standing in the doorway, hands on her hips, glaring at him. She scolded him immediately. “What’s wrong with you? Why knock so loudly? Is the doorbell just for show?” 

Samuel was taken aback by her question and momentarily lost his momentum. His tone softened, and he replied. “Let me in first, then we’ll talk 

“This is my son’s house! If my son doesn’t want you here, then stay out! If you dare step inside, I’ll chop you down!” Skylar was furious. She spun around, storming toward the kitchen, and returned holding a kitchen knife moments later. 

With the blade raised, she stood at the door, ready to strike if Samuel dared to enter. Her posture made it clear she wasn’t joking. Elvira was stunned, never expecting Skylar to be so fierce. She remembered their previous meetings: Skylar hadn’t said a word. 

Samuel, intimidated by Skylar, didn’t dare enter. He pointed at Zach and yelled, “You two are alike, violent and unreasonable! Nina was a good girl, and look what you’ve done 

her!” 

Zach was confused by Samuel’s accusation, and Elvira, equally surprised, looked at him and asked. “What is he talking about?” 

Zach replied, “I have no idea.” Then he turned to Samuel and said. “If you want to go crazy, do it at your place. Don’t come here and disgust us! His eyes were filled with hostility. 

“You’re still pretending! You- 

With a sharp thud, Skylar swung the knife towards him, forcing Samuel to step back in fear quickly. She glared at him and shouted, “If you can speak properly, then do it. If not, get the hell out!” 

“Y–you. You’re nothing but a shrew pretending to be virtuous in front of my mom. You put the knife down!” Samuel, afraid of being struck, looked strangely comical in his panic. 

“Say it or not?” Skylar demanded, not backing down. She wouldn’t let him off easily just because he asked. 

“Tonight, Nina was attacked by a group of men after leaving the bar, her face disfigured and limbs broken. You tell me, how could you be so ruthless?” Samuel shouted, pointing at Zach.. 

“Oh, please, you can’t say whatever you want. Do you have proof of this? My husband would never do such a thing. If you have evidence, bring the police to arrest him. If not, running around spreading lies could get you… well, you know!” Elvira glanced at Skylar, whose face had darkened. 

Skylar instantly exploded in anger, swinging the knife toward Samuel. “You shameless old man! How dare you son? Til kill your 

slander my 

“Skylar, you shrew! I’m speaking the truth! If you don’t believe me, ask him if he did it!” Samuel shouted as he ran, refusing to back down. 

“Facts, my foot! You fool, tricked by a woman! Get out of here, and never let me see you again, or I’ll cft you every time I do!” Skylar yelled, genuinely intending to strike. She would have landed some blows if Samuel hadn’t run fast.

Chapter 217 

Zach looked at the two women who unconditionally stood by high and believed in him. He felt deeply touched and, with curiosity, asked Elvira, 1 went out earlier. Didn’t you suspect it was me?” 

“I don’t suspect you. I trust you,” Elvira answered without hesitation. “Go back to cooking. I’m getting hungry Zach hugged and kissed her before turning back to continue cooking. The feeling of being trusted wholeheartedly by someone felt incredibly good. 

Skylar slammed the door slut behind her, gripping the knife tightly. She sneered. “They think they can bully my son? They should look at themselves first!” she said. 

Elvira walked over and gave her a thumbs up. “Mom, you’re amazing! I still have a lot to learn from you!” 

Skylar brushed her hair back and said, “It’s nothing! Elvira, remember that our kindness and elegance must be reserved for the right people. For shameless ones like him, you must go all c and outdo them in madness!” 

“Mom. I’ve learned my lesson and will learn more from you in the future. You’re amazing!” Elvira said, gazing at her with admiration. 

Seeing how much Elvira admired her, Skylar was in a perfect mood. She returned the knife to Zach. “Continue your cooking; if he dares to bully you again, I’ll make sure he regrets i” she said, patting Zach’s shoulder before heading out to chat with Elvira.
