Tobias remained deadpan and adopted a wait-and-see attitude. The Joneses were quite messy in their family affairs; the relationships between each individual were very complicated.
Thomas did not want to go to jail. Ashamed, he bowed his head before his children, ready to face their reactions.
With the Zieglers having a severe capital chain rupture, Thomas had no choice but to oblige Miranda. The latter could request Skylar to ask Tobias for help and resolve the company’s problem.
Irene raised her arm, ready to strike Miranda, but was blocked by Skylar. As a result, the tight slap landed squarely across Skylar’s face.
“Both of you are scums. How dare you publicly oppress us? This is the first time I’ve seen such a shameless pair!”
Skylar’s brows drew together. “Look who’s talking? Weren’t you a mistress who did the same thing back then?”
Skylar’s attitude against Irene had always been very aggressive. However, the way Irene treated Skylar was comparatively a thousand times worse.
She could never forget how Irene stepped on her face with her stiletto heels. The awful scene was still vividly captured in her mind as if it had only happened yesterday.
She was only a teenager when they tortured her that one time she went to borrow money for tuition fees.
Skylar could recall that it was raining cats and dogs that very day when Irene pushed her frail body to the floor, cursing her. You’re an unwanted beggar. I won’t hesitate to beat you up each time I see you… Irene’s harsh words still rang in her ears.
She wanted to fight back so badly at that time but was too feeble to do so. Consequently, she was picked up and bullied further by Irene while Hayden and Avery watched on.
Every time Skylar thought about their sarcastic laughs and malicious expressions, she had to resist the urge not to tear them apart with her own bare hands.
Another person who witnessed all of these was Skylar’s biological father, but he merely stood there, allowing it to happen. In the end, Thomas took out two hundred from his wallet and tossed it at her, saying good riddance.
