Chapter 237


    “That was because he was worried that you’d just waste it. You think my family cared about such a small


    amount?”


    Eva’s response made Skr snicker. “It really seemed like they cared a lot though. Your mother took


    everything Grandma left behind after all.”


    Eva immediately gave Skr a threatening stare, and look sheepishly towards her boyfriend. “My cousin


    really likes to spew nonsense.”


    “It’s alright. She just a kid after all.” Her boyfriendughed.

    Before they reached the old manor, Skr realized that she did not tell Tobias that she would be


    returningte that night.


    Skr: I’m having dinner with my family tonight.


    She sent out her message and got a reply from Tobias after around ten minutes.


    Tobias: Which home? You want to have dinner with me?”


    Skr: At my uncle’s. Having dinner with a whole bunch of rtives, and my mom.


    Tobias: Am I not invited?


    Skr: Emmm… I don’t think so.


    Tobias: Have fun then.


    When they arrived at the house, Skr tossed her phone into the counterfeited bag Eva talked about.


    Miranda was standing at the door and weed Eva as passionately as possible.


    Skr had heard that, before Miranda went to jail, she was an aunt that took extreme care of her niece.


    “Our Eva looks so polished and beautiful now. Is this your boyfriend? What a handsome man.”


    However, Miranda’s warm wee was met with Eva’s cold shoulder. Even Skr felt a little awkward


    watching their interaction.


    Eva’s boyfriend’s name was David Johnson, a generic name to say the least. He was a civil servant


    whereas both his parents were university lecturers, a schrly family.


    Skr’s aunt, Sharon, would always be boastful whenever her daughter was mentioned while she threw


    some shade at Skr as well.


    The whole house was really lively as all the rtives were gathered together. Having said that, Sharon


    only showed a smile when she saw Eva and David. Most of the time, she would look really gloomy.


    While everyone was mingling around, Skr went to sit beside Miranda and whispered to her, “Why did


    you want me toe? I don’t really need this meal. By the way, can you just change that stupid habit of


    yours where you call someone nonstop no matter the situation.”


    “Family should alwayse together like this. Look at how lively it is! Why don’t you just bear with it.”


    Miranda rolled her eyes at Skr.


    At this point, the way Wesley and Sharon treated Skr had certainly improved a bit, but they still had


    doubts regarding Skr’s rtionship with Tobias. To them, the prominent businessman having a normal


    rtionship with Skr just sounded like a huge joke.


    Besides, since what happenedst time, no one heard anything about Skr having a boyfriend.


    “Your niece might have just been a victim to the rich people’s game and got left behind,” Sharon told


    Wesley.


    Wesley could not care less about what his wife was talking about. The only things on his mind were how


    he was still unemployed as well as how his older sister just came back as if nothing happened. The best


    part was she lived there without showing any signs of shame nor guilt. To top it off, no one dared go


    against her.


    Previously, Wesley was told that Miranda had gone insane. The situation now however, made Wesley


    feel like he was the one going insane as Miranda seemed as normal as she could possibly be.


    On the other hand, Skr started getting hungry the more she looked at the table filled with food. Since


    I’m already here, might as well dig in.


    She picked up a piece of duck meat and started chewing away, noticing that the meat was dry and hard


    to bite through. This was definitely a cheap duck.


    One of the aunts saw that Skr was eating the duck, so she immediately picked up the drumstick of the


    duck and ced it into Eva’s bowl. It was like they were afraid that Skr would grab the drumstick for


    herself.


    Meanwhile, everyone’s attention was once again focused on Eva.


    “Eva, is it true that you’re staying here for good this time? Have you settled all the work rted issues?”


    “When are you nning to get married? David here looks like he would be a fine husband.”


    “Back then, I’ve always said that, out of all the children, you are the one who is going to shine the


    brightest.”


    “Skr, what have you been up totely?” Eventually, one of the rtives’ attention went Skr’s way.


    At the moment, Skr still had a meatball in her mouth as she raised her head. “Haha, nothing much.


    Just some meaningless work.”
