Chapter 309


    Tobias remained deadpan and adopted a wait-and-see attitude. The Joneses were quite messy in their


    family affairs; the rtionships between each individual were veryplicated.


    Thomas did not want to go to jail. Ashamed, he bowed his head before his children, ready to face their


    reactions.


    With the Zieglers having a severe capital chain rupture, Thomas had no choice but to oblige Miranda.


    Thetter could request Skr to ask Tobias for help and resolve thepany’s problem.


    Irene raised her arm, ready to strike Miranda, but was blocked by Skr. As a result, the tight p


    landed squarely across Skr’s face.


    “Both of you are scums. How dare you publicly oppress us? This is the first time I’ve seen such a


    shameless pair!”


    Skr’s brows drew together. “Look who’s talking? Weren’t you a mistress who did the same thing back


    then?”


    Skr’s attitude against Irene had always been very aggressive. However, the way Irene treated Skr


    wasparatively a thousand times worse.


    She could never forget how Irene stepped on her face with her stiletto heels. The awful scene was still


    vividly captured in her mind as if it had only happened yesterday.


    She was only a teenager when they tortured her that one time she went to borrow money for tuition fees.


    Skr could recall that it was raining cats and dogs that very day when Irene pushed her frail body to the


    floor, cursing her. You’re an unwanted beggar. I won’t hesitate to beat you up each time I see


    you… Irene’s harsh words still rang in her ears.


    She wanted to fight back so badly at that time but was too feeble to do so. Consequently, she was picked


    up and bullied further by Irene while Hayden and Avery watched on.


    Every time Skr thought about their sarcasticughs and malicious expressions, she had to resist the


    urge not to tear them apart with her own bare hands.


    Another person who witnessed all of these was Skr’s biological father, but he merely stood there,


    allowing it to happen. In the end, Thomas took out two hundred from his wallet and tossed it at her,


    saying good riddance.


    Since then, Skr saw Thomas in his true colors and learned the hard fact that not all parents loved their


    children equally.


    While Skr was holding her burning cheek, an angry Hayden raised his hand up high, wanting to strike


    her again.


    “That’s enough. What fault does Skr have? You should know very well the consequences that will


    befall you should you p her.” Tobias dashed to the center of the ruckus and stared daggers at Hayden.

    Intimidated, Hayden put down his arm which was hung mid-air.


    At that instance, Irene was as mad as a ho. She could not care less about who Tobias was. “It’s all


    your fault, Tobias! I’m sure you’re the one who threatened my Honey to divorce me. You wrecked our


    family! There’s nothing you won’t do because of this wicked girl!”


    Irene’s words left the guests puzzled.


    What does Tobias have to do with the Joneses? Everyone started gossiping under their breath.


    With resentment, Skr rified, “This has got nothing to do with Tobias. You should question your man


    instead of barking at innocent people.”


    Tobias did not bother to stand up for himself. Hugging Skr, he examined her face and the obvious p


    mark. He then sighed and said, “It’s either I change my habit of not hitting women, or you could return


    her one right now.”


    Skr was shocked to hear that. She knew that if she were to p Irene, thetter would definitely not


    fight back in Tobias’ presence.


    She noticed that there were many guests who had taken out their phones to record videos. If the


    situation went out of control, she would gain public exposure. However, it was not a desirable thing to be


    featured in the headlines because of an ugly domestic problem.


    Considering so, she called upon Tobias’ bodyguard, Samuel, and whispered a few words to him.


    Next, she walked toward Miranda, who was beaming with joy. Such a scene gave her a thrill and made


    her more excited than taking drugs.


    Skr took the blow for Miranda’s sake. She looked at her mother disappointedly. “I don’t care what


    method you used to achieve your goal, it doesn’t matter to me anymore. The two of you can live however


    as you please in the future. Don’t harass me ever again. I’m done with you.”
