Chapter 445


    Skr nodded at Miranda. “I got it. Just sleep in the guest room for now. I’ll look for another house for


    youter on.”


    Miranda looked at her daughter begrudgingly. “I’m moving to Wesley’s ce tomorrow, so don’t worry. I


    won’t get in your way.”


    “Since when are you so understanding? Tobias doesn’te over often, so you can just stay here for


    the time being. It’s not like Uncle Wesley and his family love having you over.”


    The determination in Miranda’s gaze showed her disagreement. “Of course, I can go over. I own half the


    house technically. Besides, Eva adores me. She is always so nice to me.”

    Skr rolled her eyes looking at the proud smile on Miranda’s face. She was not even that happy for


    Skr when her movie was released. Actually, Skr suspected that Eva was the reason why Miranda


    got caught, but she decided to keep her spection to herself.


    Skr turned and went upstairs to take a shower, but Miranda dashed in front of her, looking at her


    vigntly.


    “You’d better stay away from Penelope. I know she’s your best friend, but she’s in a desperate situation


    now. There’s nothing you can do to help her anyway.”


    A frown spread across Skr’s face. “Have you met Penelope? Where did you see her?”


    “I found out about her when I went to Wesley’s house. Penelope gave birth to a baby girl without even


    getting married. The man refused to admit it was his child. The whole neighborhood knows about her


    situation, so you’d better stay away from her.”


    Skr clenched her fists in agitation.


    So she still went back? Gosh, I can’t imagine what kind of a mess she is in now. Did she even get the


    money from Brayden? That should be hundreds of thousands. It’s enough for her to raise the kid.


    “You really need to pick your friends wisely. You can’t risk being seen with people like her or you’ll lose


    everything.”


    Skr smirked listening to Miranda. You sound like I’ve achieved all this on my own. I wouldn’t be where


    I am today if not for Tobias.


    She tossed and turned in her bed worrying about Penelope after she got upstairs. She shot Penelope a


    message, but she did not reply, so she just went on Instagram instead.


    As usual, Winnie was being a total show-off. She had luxury brand items littered all over her pictures.


    Even her umbre was branded. It seemed like she was having the time of her life after Sheldon became


    the CEO.


    He used to be under Tobias, and Tobias would control all his spendings.


    She switched off the lights andy in the bed silently. A wave of emotions washed over her as snippets of


    the time spent at the old house came shing back in her mind. She had been through so much growing


    up. Even when the family and rtives had gatherings, she would just sit aside alone. It was not like they


    would pay attention to her anyway.


    She felt so out of ce hearing them talk about buying houses and cars. They busied themselves


    discussing the huge balcony of the house someone just bought, how much the down payment of a house


    cost, the model of the car another person bought with one-off payment—everything Skr was clueless


    about. Their snobbish attitude seeded an entrenched antipathy in her toward them, but it also plunged


    her deeper into a vortex of jealousy and anger.


    That was when she realized how bitter someone manacled by jealously could be.


    To her family, she was always just a piece of trash to augment Eva’s shining character.


    She pulled a nket over but soon heard approaching footsteps. She clenched the nket, thinking it


    was Miranda. “What are you doing here at this hour? You should at least knock.”
