NovelOnlineSkylar brought nothing but a ballpoint pen to the B2 French exam, and she calmly put it away in her
pocket after the exam was over.
Avery was in the same venue as her for the exam, but the results did not matter to her.
Instead, she stood in the corridor and stuck out and arm to block Skylar when she walked past.
“I heard that your mother was discharged from the hospital,” Avery said accusingly. “Shouldn’t
murderers stay in jail? Why isn’t she sent back immediately?”
Skylar scoffed.Looks like you’re keeping yourself updated!
Tobias had told her that he would settle the matter for Miranda, but she figured that he would have
forgotten about it by now.
She grimaced.That would bepretty embarrassing…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTobias was a busy man, and there was no telling if he had the time or energy to think about her request
after a whole day of working.What if he had memory loss from all those sleeping pills?
Avery seemed very worked up, but Skylar simply smiled and asked, “Why are you so concerned about
my mom? Are you scared that she’ll snatch your dad away from you?”
Since young, Avery had always hated Skylar to the core, and her father’s love was not something she
was willing to share.
She wanted everything that Skylar had, but she never allowed Skylar to have what she had.
They used to pretend to be friends in front of others, but that façade had since worn off. Avery could
not care less about Tobias, and to her, Skylar was nothing more than Tobias’ sex partner.
She was the other woman.
“Tell your mother to behave,” Avery growled angrily. “If she dares to come near me or my parents, I’ll
call the cops on her.”
Skylar chuckled. “Don’t worry. I’ll take her somewhere where you can’t touch her.”
After that, Skylar turned around and walked away, leaving Avery trembling in hatred. Her nails dug into
her palms, but it did not hurt a single bit.
Avery’s father became an absentminded mess the moment he heard of Skylar’s mother’s release, and
several fights had broken out between him and Avery’s mother because of that.
Meanwhile, Skylar queued up outside the family-run Italian eatery where she was supposed to meet up
with Penelope. Their business was booming, and she had to wait for quite a while before she finally got
a seat.
After she sat down, she ordered two plates of their signature pasta with extra meatballs and some
garden salad as a side dish.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer stomach grumbled as she looked at the pasta and salad.Tobias woulddefinitely avoid kissing me if
he knew I ate raw onion in the salad!
By the time Penelope arrived at the restaurant, Skylar had already finished half her pasta. Neither of
them were particularly bothered with table manners, after all.
She took off her hat and placed it next to the steaming pasta, but she made no move to pick up her
cutlery.
“Didn’t I give you five hundred thousand? Haven’t you gotten it settled?” Skylar asked.
Penelope shook her head with a sigh. She had naïvely given the money she was supposed to pay up
to her boyfriend, and he ended up running away with it.
However, when she told Skylar about her unfortunate experiences, she received a thumbs-up from her,
much to her surprise.
“You only knew him for a week, and you’re entrusting him with so much money?” Skylar asked.
However, she grimaced a little when she realized that she was just being a pot calling the kettle
black.Didn’t Jeremy take three million from me last time? Why is he still living like a beggar?
