Skylar kept quiet. It’s their right to live wherever they want. Anyway, I don’t have the ability to buy the entire residential area. Even this house isn’t mine anyway. She did not accept it when Tobias presented her the property document albeit her name was printed on it as the rightful owner of the house.
It was Miranda’s first time visiting Skylar. She was shocked to the core to see all of her lavish internal decorations and luxurious furniture. This is way better than what I’ve expected. She’s living the life!
Skylar was rather hostile. “It’s better for neighbors to mind each other’s own businesses. I don’t need your care and concern for I’m so used to living by myself all these years. It feels weird to have the two of you showing up in my life now. Anyhow, don’t trouble me. I can’t help you with whatever problems you’re facing either; it’s beyond my capability to resolve it for you.”
Tobias’ gaze gradually darkened. What does she take me for?
Embarrassed, Miranda smiled wryly. “I can understand it’s hard for you to digest this within a short time. Take it easy.”
Considering that it was the affairs within the Jones family, Tobias did not say a word. There were things that Skylar had to settle herself. However, for a man like him who preferred a clean-cut relationship, he was annoyed and disgusted by the complication of the matter.
“Skylar and I are heading out. I think you guys should take an early leave.” With his head lowered and face buried in his palms, Tobias portrayed an exhausted look.
Instantly, Thomas knew that it was not the right time to discuss mergers and acquisitions with him. Bringing up the issue about Quest Group would only anger Tobias further.
As soon as the new neighbors left, Skylar lay flat on the sofa and massaged her temples. “I suspect that the person who killed Irene’s sister was Thomas and not my mom. That’s the only reason I can think of as to why a cowardly man like him would agree to divorce his wife, without gaining anything out of it.”
Tobias could see where she was coming from.
He asked casually, “So what if you’re right? Could you be so righteous and send your dad to jail? That’s all their own doing.”
Skylar was rendered speechless. She was worried that Miranda was being used by Thomas without her realizing it. Her biggest nightmare was to see Thomas harming Miranda once he had achieved his motive. He’s capable of any malicious acts.
