Skylar went dead silent when Miranda hung up her call. She couldn’t believe her mother had the guts to mention
that her uncle missed her. It was evident that her uncle, Wesley, was up to no good.
Miranda seemed to have forgotten Wesley was the reason Skylar had been turned into an outcast of the family
after Meredith passed on.
Those were the darkest days of Skylar’s life because her life would depend on every single cent she had. As she had
no one to rely on, she spent some time living on the streets.
If it weren’t because Penelope had done her a favor, she might have to spend most of her days in the middle of
nowhere. She had long gotten used to starving because she couldn’t afford any proper meal.
Miranda dismissed her brother’s responsibilities and thought his wife was the one at fault because he had been
stripped of the authority to make the call once they got married.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce Skylar showed up, she noticed Wesley had been anticipating her arrival at the entrance of the manor.
Since he had shown up to show her the way into the place, Skylar thought it must be a big deal.
Wesley greeted her with a scrunched-up face when she alighted from the car.
She proceeded to tell the driver to head back without her.
However, the driver rebuked, “Ms. Jones, I think it’s better for me to stay around! It’s tough to get yourself a cab
home because it’s getting late!”
Skylar was reluctant to waste the driver’s time because he had been driving since the moment she touched down.
Thus, she repeated herself, “It’s fine! I’ll hail another cab one way or another! Thanks!”
The driver had grown fond of Skylar because of her straightforward personality. He thought she wasn’t as
indifferent as the rumor had claimed her to be.
In fact, she was one of the most easygoing celebrities he had ever encountered throughout his career.
Skylar didn’t even have the chance to figure out the things going on because Thomas showed her the way into the
place once she was done.
As they made their way through the passage with faint illumination, Skylar noticed the handrail of the stairs and the
benches around had corroded.
It had been a long time since Skylar last made her way there in the middle of the night. As she walked down the
hallway, she found everything familiar, including the scene and the lingering sensation in the air.
She would only make her way back in the late evening during her high school days. In order to make her way
through the pitch-black passage, she had to rely on her pink torchlight.
Concerned about her granddaughter, Meredith would stay up until Skylar was back, no matter how long it would
take.
Meanwhile, the moment Skylar stepped into the manor, she heard Sharon yelling at the top of her lungs again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKevin was seated at the dining table with his head drooping over his shoulders.
When Sharon noticed Skylar had shown up, she got increasingly infuriated and pinched Kevin’s ears in front of
Skylar.
“What has gotten into your mind? You’re supposed to spend your time studying instead of wasting your time and
money playing games! Are you aware you have spent the entire family’s fortune just to have fun?”
Skylar was taken aback because Kevin had always been a top-notch student. As a matter of fact, he was a match
for Avery in terms of academic results.
Caressing his swollen ears, Kevin went dead silent, but his frustration was written all over his face. It was evident
the rebellious young man had no intention to listen to his parents.
Skylar was confused about the reason her proud aunt, who would show off her exceptional son in front of others,
had summoned her over and taught him a lesson in front of her.
Wait! Is she trying to get me to compensate them? What kind of joke is this?
When Kevin made his way back to his room, he banged the door shut, indicating he was irked.
