After all, Wesley and Sharon were the kinds that always felt they were self-deserving and therefore, entitled to be

treated well.

From Wesley’s perspective, he was the one that raised Skylar. If not for her, Meredith’s pension would have been

given to him instead. After all, he was Meredith’s son.

Skylar could still remember what happened when Miranda had just been sent to prison. Wesley was the first one to

make his position known.

She had assumed he wanted to take her in given that Miranda was his sister.

Instead, Wesley suggested to Meredith to have her sent to either her dad or an orphanage.

However, Meredith rejected the idea about sending Skylar to the orphanage while Thomas refused to acknowledge

her as his daughter.

Worried that Skylar would be bullied by her stepmother and stepsisters, Meredith decided to raise her on her own.

Consequently, Wesley’s relationship with Meredith became strained and it took them a few years to reconcile. After

that, Skylar would move between families as if she was a ball being kicked around.

Ever since Meredith died, Skylar felt lonely no matter how luxurious her home was. She would feel miserable and

empty as it didn’t give her a feeling of home.

Meanwhile, when she saw Kevin coming downstairs, she noticed his stubble and all the pimples on his face. A boy

going through puberty was when he would experience the peak of male hormone secretion.

Skylar asked, “Where are you going? Don’t you have school since it’s a weekday? Since you’re already in high

school, you have to be more serious about your studies.”

Kevin nodded without a reply. Holding his bag with one hand, he looked at Tobias in the dark building they were in.

“Are you rich?”

Thinking that he was asking her, she replied with a frown, “Have you been playing games on your phone again?”

Kevin continued, “Skylar, I’m not asking you. I’m asking the one beside you if he is rich.”

Tobias’ expression darkened as he wondered why a high school student would want to know.

He replied, “You can say that.”

Kevin’s expression changed from one of despair to hope. Now, he had to leave it to his parents while all he wanted

to do was hide.

Just when she was bewildered by the question, Tobias asked her, “How old is your cousin?”

“He’s in high school, but I’m not sure about his exact age. Despite being Eva’s brother, don’t you think they don’t

resemble each other at all?”

Tobias didn’t care about their resemblance. He was more concerned with why Kevin didn’t look like a student.

When Sharon saw that Tobias had come along with Skylar, she was suddenly filled with hope. She quickly grabbed

onto Tobias’ arm in front of Skylar.

She was overwhelmed by emotion as Tobias’ arrival felt like a light that illuminated the darkness that was their

despair.

As Sharon clung onto Tobias tightly, he tried to shake her off as soon as he could.

“Skylar, your cousin was tricked and lost a lot of money. This time it isn’t about the game credits. Can you help him

out again?”

Sharon sounded as it was Skylar’s responsibility to deal with it.

When she glanced at Tobias, she could see the look of contempt on his face.

Nowadays, it was common for one to ask about one’s relatives before marriage. They would like to know the

number of one’s relatives and what they do for a living.

Skylar finally understood why this was so important before one got married. No one wanted to have troublesome

relatives anyway.

Hence, she regretted letting Tobias come along. After all, he had already helped out the last time. However, of all

days, he had to choose not to go to the office that day.

This time, Skylar wasn’t going to let Tobias get involved anymore.

She admonished them, “Can’t you keep an eye on Kevin? Didn’t you learn a lesson from last time? How can he be

involved in gambling at such a young age?”
