Chapter 132


    Tobias felt exasperated, wondering when he had been reduced to a state where he had to discuss about


    love with this trash. With a haughty expression, he ordered in a disdainful tone, “You can leave now and


    stop harassing my girlfriend. If I catch you doing it again, you might very well be the one burning.”


    Jackson was so petrified that goosebumps covered his whole body. Reluctant to give up on Skr, he


    expressed his devotion, “I will wait until Skr epts me. The two of you won’tst long.”


    Tobias looked at him with amusement and chuckled. “You should look in the mirror before going after a


    woman. Don’t overestimate yourself. Even if I’m no longer with her one day, her body and soul will still


    belong to me.”


    Meanwhile, Avery stood in front of her bedroom window with zing eyes. Tobias sent Skr back. This


    means they’re still together.


    When Skr saw Avery standing by the window, she guessed that she had already seen Tobias.


    Upon hearing the door creak, Avery turned around but stayed silent for quite some time. Aftering to


    terms with reality, she forced herself to smile at Skr. “Skr, you’re back. Have you packed your


    luggage?”


    Skr was slightly stunned since Avery had never spoken to her in such a gentle tone after so many


    years of knowing each other.


    She asked ndly, “What do you want? Since when did you care so much about me?”

    No matter how reluctant Avery was, she had no choice but to be nice to Skr for the meantime as per


    her father’s orders. Thepany had an abandoned project. If it were not resumed, they would face


    bankruptcy. The only one who could help them now was Skr.


    Avery put her ego aside and smiled gently. “It was all my faultst time. I always felt like you were going


    to take my father away from me. I admit that I was young and ignorant. Dad heard that you’re going to


    film soon, so he wants you over for dinner tomorrow. He’s going to prepare your favorite food.”


    However, Skr refused tly, not wanting to be involved with the Joneses whatsoever. With a curl of her


    lips, she replied, “Forget it. I grew up eating cheap food. I’m not used to thevish lifestyle all of you


    have.”


    Avery already expected such a response from Skr. She blinked innocently as she exined, “Your


    mother will also be there tomorrow. Dad visited her at the hospital today. She’s recovering well and will


    be discharged soon. The meal tomorrow is also to celebrate your mother’s recovery.”


    Ever since Miranda was hospitalized, Skr had only seen her once, but even that one time was when


    she was sedated.


    Skr was terrified of Miranda. She could still remember the day she visited her mother in prison when


    she was thirteen years old. Miranda had screamed hysterically at her, “Why did I give birth to a daughter


    like you? You ruined everything for me!”


    Miranda even told Skr to get out of her sight and nevere again. That visit had greatly traumatized


    her until this day.


    To this day, Skr still could not understand why Miranda hated her so much. She had even asked her


    grandmother about it before.


    But her grandmother had only given her a piece of advice. No matter what, she’s still your mother and


    the person who gave you life, so you must never give up.


    Even at that moment, Skr could still clearly remember her grandmother’s words and her own promise


    to never abandon Miranda if she were released one day.


    Skr did not immediately agree to Avery’s request. Instead, she ran to the corridor and called Tobias.


    The call was only picked up after a long time.


    “Why are you calling me thiste? Miss me already?” His voice was deep and husky as usual, but it was


    laced with a hint of sleepiness.


    “It’s about my mother. Is she still at the hospital?” Skr’s hand tightened around her phone as she


    awaited Tobias’ answer.
