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.

Since then, Skylar saw Thomas in his true colors and learned the hard fact that not all parents loved

their children equally.

While Skylar was holding her burning cheek, an angry Hayden raised his hand up high, wanting to

strike her again.

“That’s enough. What fault does Skylar have? You should know very well the consequences that will

befall you should you slap her.” Tobias dashed to the center of the ruckus and stared daggers at

Hayden.

Intimidated, Hayden put down his arm which was hung mid-air.

At that instance, Irene was as mad as a hornet. She could not care less about who Tobias was. “It’s all

your fault, Tobias! I’m sure you’re the one who threatened my Honey to divorce me. You wrecked our

family! There’s nothing you won’t do because of this wicked girl!”

Irene’s words left the guests puzzled.

What does Tobias have to do with the Joneses? Everyone started gossiping under their breath.

With resentment, Skylar clarified, “This has got nothing to do with Tobias. You should question your

man instead of barking at innocent people.”

Tobias did not bother to stand up for himself. Hugging Skylar, he examined her face and the obvious

slap mark. He then sighed and said, “It’s either I change my habit of not hitting women, or you could

return her one right now.”

Skylar was shocked to hear that. She knew that if she were to slap Irene, the latter would definitely not

fight back in Tobias’ presence.

She noticed that there were many guests who had taken out their phones to record videos. If the

situation went out of control, she would gain public exposure. However, it was not a desirable thing to

be featured in the headlines because of an ugly domestic problem.

Considering so, she called upon Tobias’ bodyguard, Samuel, and whispered a few words to him.

Next, she walked toward Miranda, who was beaming with joy. Such a scene gave her a thrill and made

her more excited than taking drugs.

Skylar took the blow for Miranda’s sake. She looked at her mother disappointedly. “I don’t care what

method you used to achieve your goal, it doesn’t matter to me anymore. The two of you can live

however as you please in the future. Don’t harass me ever again. I’m done with you.”
