Kai let out a smile. “It’s just a temporary fix. It’s normal for my aunt to take me in, isn’t it?”

If that was the case, Skylar could only send him until one kilometer within the area. He would have to

walk the remaining distance by foot.

After all, she did all this to prevent unnecessary trouble.

Skylar stared outside her car window, looking at the busy street and endless vehicles on the road. She

was especially fond of the freezing night wind as it helped her clear her mind effectively.

She was not joking about the one-kilometer distance when she asked the driver to stop by a

convenience store located exactly one kilometer away from Claudia’s house.

Kai started walking relaxingly after getting dropped off, while Skylar left without any hesitation.

It was past midnight when she arrived home, but her sleepiness disappeared when she spotted a blue

Porsche parked outside the house.

She hurriedly keyed in the door’s password and entered the house, tingling with anticipation, but to her

dismay, she was welcomed with deserted quietness.

Tobias was not there. He had only parked the car outside.

Not long after Skylar sat down, she received a call from Tobias asking her to get to the top floor of

Tower 132 in Zachary Lane.

Before Skylar could ask why, Tobias had ended the call.

Recently, she had watched many videos on TikTok about how a man would surprise his woman. There

were all sorts of creative acts, ranging from a gift planted in the car’s trunk to a candlelit dinner on the

balcony.

On her way there, she kept on imagining what sort of surprise Tobias had prepared for her. Since when

did he know to express romance? He’s changed.

Little did she know that what was awaiting her was not a surprise but a bombshell.

The moment Skylar saw some police cars parked in front of the building, she sensed that something

terrible had happened. When she arrived at the top floor, she saw barricade tapes cordoning the whole

floor.

Skylar could see Miranda standing at the edge of the balcony. A few cops were nervously persuading

her to stop moving. Tobias was there too.

“I won’t come down unless the problem’s solved. I want to see my daughter.” Miranda’s emotion was

volatile, and she would fall off from the twenty-third floor if her hand got off the handrail.

Skylar had never expected that what her mother said to her earlier was not a joke; Miranda she actually

meant to end her own life.

The woman was willing to bet on her life for the sake of Thomas and Quest Group.

“What do you want me to do? Come down now. Let’s talk properly.” Skylar paled in fright, trembling

incessantly,

Seeing Skylar arrive at the scene, only then was Miranda willing to step behind the railing. “Why didn’t

you answer any of my calls? And your dad is also the same. Why are you all forcing my hand?” She

sounded as though she was the only victim.

Tobias recalled what Claudia said to him, that he was stepping into a messy family.

At that moment, a feeling of despise rose within his heart.

Skylar responded helplessly, “How do you want me to help you? I can’t do what you’re asking for.”

Looking that her daughter was still unwilling to help, Miranda yelled in despair. “Fine! Just let me die

then. Skylar, you’re the one who will make me die! Remember that!”

Skylar fell into deep despair upon hearing that, but all the threats looked like a joke in Tobias’ eyes.

He could no longer endure this ridiculousness, so he finally opened his mouth. “Stop all this nonsense.

I will help you. But if you jump down now, I won’t even let Skylar handle your funeral. Make your

choice.”

Finally, Miranda decided to come down from the balcony. Fortunately, there were not many residents in

that building, so it did not cause much fuss.

Skylar was also relieved that it did not attract any press, as this kind of headline would be a giant stain

in her life.
