Veronica immediately confronted Rosa after seeing her hostile expression toward Skylar. She was ready for a verbal clash with Rosa.
She had never lost at any arguments before.
Skylar glanced at Veronica, feeling warmth at her protectiveness. After living together for so long, they had come to see each other as family.
"Ms. Reese, if you have any issues, please address them directly with me. There's no need to bother the elderly," Skylar said with a blank expression.
Rosa looked at the two of them with a red face.
"If it weren't for you constantly mistaking Ned for Joe and trying to get close to him repeatedly, I wouldn't bother you! I don't have time to waste on you.
"Since you're here now, I'll make it clear. I hope you'll stop meeting with Ned. Especially you, Skylar. Your actions are seriously impacting us."
Skylar replied calmly, "You know full well whether Ned is Joe. You're fooling only yourself. It doesn't mean others are blind to the truth. Rosa, you'd better be careful in your actions!"
"You!" Rosa was livid, realizing she couldn't win against them in the argument.
She didn't want to make a scene and risk Joe seeing Skylar, so she ended the argument by saying, "Anyway, he is Ned, my fiancé, and he has nothing to do with you!"
Then, she headed to a nearby department.
Skylar's face remained calm, but Veronica scoffed, "She's just deceiving herself."
"Don't let her upset you, Veronica. She knows the truth better than anyone," Skylar replied.
"You're right. There's no point in getting angry over someone like her," Veronica added.
