Chapter 89


    When they heard amotion upstairs, Thomas and Irene looked up at the same time.


    Avery was hurling things around in the bedroom. Thomas hated himself and swore to get Skr to


    apologize to Avery.


    He just couldn’t ept the humiliation quietly.


    Meanwhile, when Skr realized her name was not on the notice board for staying out, she heaved a


    sigh of relief.


    During acting ss, Skr watched intently as the teacher taught Shailene how to express herself


    through her gaze.


    However, Shailene just couldn’t do what was required of her despite the repeated guidance of the


    teacher.


    Shailene looked haggard recently.


    In contrast to the time when she proudly dered herself as the prettiest in ss, she looked vastly


    different then.


    After ss ended, Skr went to thedies to check her face in the mirror. As she picked a crying role


    earlier, her eyes were already swollen from crying too much.


    But then again, it may have been caused by her vtile mood after seeing Thomas.


    The role came at the perfect time as she managed to cry out all the tears she held back in the morning.


    When the teacher praised her for her realistic acting, she was grateful for her luck.


    After venting all her frustration from the long crying session, Skr’s mood improved significantly.


    Shailene had turned on the tap and was freshening her makeup amidst the sound of running water.


    She snuck a few nces at Skr and felt like saying something a couple of times.


    Finally, she still couldn’t say it out loud despite being mentally prepared.


    She wanted to ask Skr why did she get Tobias to fire her father.


    Her father had worked for the Ford Group for many years and didn’t deserve it.


    He was fired just because Skr said a few words.


    Dissatisfied, her father went to the office to make a fuss, as if he were experiencing a bout of depression.


    She too was puzzled as to why Tobias was together with Skr.


    She was a poor girl that needed to work part-time in the cafe for extra ie.


    When Skr left the washroom, she had a habit of putting on her earphones. That way, she could keep


    herself isted from all the noise.


    As the song she was listening to was interrupted by the ring of her phone, Skr answered without


    checking who the caller was.


    She heard Wesley’s gruff voice over the line. “Skr,e to my house for dinner tomorrow. It’s my


    treat.”


    Thest time they met, she had an argument with her uncle over her mother. Yet, that day, he was


    inviting her for dinner.


    Hence, Skr wondered if he was setting a trap for her.


    “I’m on a diet so I don’t have an appetite.”


    When Skr declined his invitation, he sounded as if he was prepared for it. He replied with a smile,


    “Come over to my ce as we need to talk about your mother. After all, we need to discuss it as a


    family.”


    After hesitating for ten seconds, Skr agreed. “I’ll try my best to make it.”

    Wesley grunted in acknowledgment. “Come over at nine in the evening tomorrow. I have a big surprise


    for you. I’m sure you will be delighted to see it.”


    Skr wasn’t hopeful about what the surprise was. She was happy enough as long as Wesley didn’t give


    her a shock.


    She remembered what Grandma had said. Mom loved her brother since young but she was disappointed


    on his attitude on the day she left prison.


    Meanwhile, Skr arrived early at the old house empty-handed. She didn’t bring any gifts at all.


    When she visited Wesley’s home previously, she used to buy some fruits. However, Sharon used her


    of being stingy.


    Instead of being insulted for buying something, she would rather not buy anything at all.


    Just when she entered Wesley’s house, she realized there were still guests around.
