The news of Maverick’s sudden death went viral.
His death came as a sudden shock. Nevertheless, it allowed Skylar to heave a sigh of relief as she no
longer had a crazy person stalking her.
Meanwhile, Skylar saw Miranda at the entrance when she returned. She was holding two big bags filled
with vegetables and fruits.
When she saw Skylar, she quickly handed her the bags before stretching her arms to relieve the
soreness in them. “My arms are killing me. Why are you back so late, and why are you alone? Where’s
Tobias? Have the both of you broken up? I haven’t seen him in a while. He seems to be fine with
leaving a young girl like you here alone.”
After receiving the bags, Skylar didn’t invite Miranda in. Just when she was about to shut the door,
Miranda stuffed her leg in between the gap.
Skylar almost slammed the door on her foot. By then, she had no choice but to let Miranda in.
As Miranda hadn’t seen Tobias in a long time, she began to feel fearful. If Skylar and Tobias broke up,
she wouldn’t be able to carry out Thomas’ instructions.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter putting the groceries in the kitchen, Skylar replied, “He’s busy.”
Miranda scoffed at her explanation. She felt that it was Skylar’s incompetence that had caused Tobias
to grow distant.
Skylar asked, “Since you have just reconciled with that ex-husband of yours, why are you here?
Shouldn’t you be striking while the iron is still hot? Stop wasting time here.”
Miranda admonished her, “That’s really rude of you. He’s your dad for goodness sake.”
Skylar squirmed as that was already her best attempt at being civil. Are you expecting me to address
him as Dad?
However, she didn’t correct herself. At the same time, she gave Miranda advanced notice. “This year,
I’m not going with you to Uncle Wesley’s place. I don’t feel like going anywhere.”
Miranda rejected her outright. “How can you not go? It’s a family gathering and it would be rude of you
to be absent.”
Skylar asked, “What can I do to avoid it then?”
Miranda replied, “Of course, if you are going to spend it with Tobias, I will definitely support your
decision.”
Skylar shrugged as she explained in a powerless tone, “Mom, you are getting ahead of yourself. Didn’t
you understand a word Tobias said to you? He does not plan on getting married. In other words, he
doesn’t plan to marry me at all. Who do you think I am to cling to him shamelessly? Aren’t you worried
about being chased out?”
Miranda felt that Skylar was uttering nonsense. After all, Thomas had told her that Tobias had fallen for
her daughter.
Why is she being so secretive?
When Miranda left after receiving a call from Thomas, Skylar quickly shut the door and ended their
conversation.
The moment Miranda returned to her villa, Tobias stopped her at the entrance. He asked impatiently,
“Have you talked to Skylar about Tobias’ takeover of the company? It’s a lot better that you talk to her
than I do.”
Miranda slapped herself on her forehead and remarked, “Oh, I forgot. You should see how messy
things are now. Tobias hasn’t visited in a long time, and Skylar doesn’t seem to be in a good mood.
Who knows if they have broken up or not.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe moment he heard the words “broken up,” Thomas’ expression drastically changed.
As the new year approached, Skylar’s drama, Unrequited Love, was broadcasted over Channel 3 at
primetime. Despite it being her first drama, she managed to snag the female lead’s role.
When the first episode was screened, the ratings went through the roof.
Skylar finally felt that she was becoming famous. Her social media followers grew by half a million
overnight.
When her fans broke one million, her agent paid for her name to be promoted as the top trending topic.
However, there were many die-hard fans that were critical of her performance after the drama had
been screened. They felt she was too flirtatious and wasn’t as innocent as the original character.
The most popular comments online were the ones that disapproved of her appearance.
She looks too coquettish. What an insult to the original work.
She looks like a b*tch. I’ll pass.
Winnie’s acting is good. Why is she the supporting actress?
I don’t like how the female lead looks. She’s just too mean…
Skylar was universally accepted to be beautiful. The comments showed just how unforgiving ladies can
be to pretty women.
When she saw the comments disparaging her, Skylar laughed. The most she could do was to check
her face in the mirror. It’s not a crime to be born beautiful.
