Chapter 769 Comparison
Miranda refused to believe it. “You don''t have any money? That''s impossible. I read in the news that
a female celebrity earned one hundred and fifty million for a movie. Why aren''t you like her?”
Skr responded in exasperation, “I''m curious about that too. Why am I not like her? It''s
embarrassing to ask that question, though. People might think I''m being greedy by demanding a
higher price. I know myself well; no matter how hard I try, they won''t increase my worth.”
She nced at the contract and continued, “You don''t have a good eye for investments. This is
clearly a scam targeting vulnerable people, especially the elderly.”
Miranda, on the other hand, believed that Skr alsocked a discerning eye for investments. It
had taken her considerable effort to find such a promising project. She couldn''t believe Skr didn''t
leap at the chance.
Anxiously, she attempted to persuade Skr to reconsider. “They called me and threatened to
remove me from the project if I don''t submit my investment within three days. You have to transfer
one million to me today. It''s not arge sum.”

Skr gave her a pointed look. “One million isn''t arge sum to you, huh? Mom, you have no idea
how hard I have to work to earn one million. I''ve stayed up for twenty-three hours straight to film
continuously. When you see how busy I am, you''ll know that I don''t earn my money easily.”
Miranda remained in her own world and refused to listen to Skr no matter what thetter said.
Skr brushed off her pleas, remaining resolute in her decision not to offer any money to Miranda.
She hadn''t received the remaining payment from the previous reality show yet. It wasn''t a
substantial amount, though. As filming progressed, Skr realized that her workload was increasing
while her earnings remained modest.
Miranda had been content with the monthly allowance Skr provided her. However, recently,
Skr reduced the amount, leaving Miranda struggling to cover her expenses.
She had to continuously remind and urge Skr to transfer the money, as Skr was oftente with
the allowance payments.
If she weren''t aware that Skr was dating Tobias, she would''ve assumed her daughter had found
a toy boy who lived off her.
Miranda couldn''t help but envy Sharon. She grumbled, “Eva bought her father a car. She''s such a
dutiful daughter. Look at her, able to afford a car shortly after starting work. She even got herself a
new Mercedes-Benz. Your job may seem morous, but it''s all superficial. Please start taking
control of your finances, okay?”
Skr rolled her eyes in exasperation. “The vi you''re living in is located in the heart of the city.
You can have it appraised to see its value. Don''t envy others simply because they bought a new
car. If Eva builds a rocket for her parents, should I build one too? If you knew how to drive, I would
definitely get you a car. But since you don''t, what good would it do for me to buy a car for you?”
Tobias overheard their fight about cars and houses.
He had seen through Miranda''s true nature. Miranda wasn''t necessarily a bad person, but she had
a tendency to take advantage of others and exploit her daughter.
Despite not raising Skr herself, she still managed to drain Skr''s resources like a vampire.
Skr had no choice but to provide her with a monthly allowance that was within her means.
Calmly, Tobias poured himself a cup of ck coffee. He felt a sense of fatigue lingering, having
exhausted his energy the previous night, perhaps a sign of his age catching up with him.
Usually, he would be at work at this hour.
Skr''s eyes widened in rm as she hastily grabbed Miranda''s arm, silently pleading with her not
to show the Taffledale Health Investment proposal to Tobias. Thest thing she wanted was for her
mother to embarrass her further by bringing it up in front of him.
However, Miranda pried her hands off, determinedly snatching the proposal and making her way to
Tobias.
