Chapter 500
Skr went dead silent when Miranda hung up her call. She couldn’t believe her mother had the guts to
mention that her uncle missed her. It was evident that her uncle, Wesley, was up to no good.
Miranda seemed to have forgotten Wesley was the reason Skr had been turned into an outcast of the
family after Meredith passed on.
Those were the darkest days of Skr’s life because her life would depend on every single cent she had.
As she had no one to rely on, she spent some time living on the streets.
If it weren’t because Penelope had done her a favor, she might have to spend most of her days in the
middle of nowhere. She had long gotten used to starving because she couldn’t afford any proper meal.
Miranda dismissed her brother’s responsibilities and thought his wife was the one at fault because he
had been stripped of the authority to make the call once they got married.
Once Skr showed up, she noticed Wesley had been anticipating her arrival at the entrance of the
manor.
Since he had shown up to show her the way into the ce, Skr thought it must be a big deal.
Wesley greeted her with a scrunched-up face when she alighted from the car.
She proceeded to tell the driver to head back without her.
However, the driver rebuked, “Ms. Jones, I think it’s better for me to stay around! It’s tough to get yourself
a cab home because it’s gettingte!”
Skr was reluctant to waste the driver’s time because he had been driving since the moment she
touched down. Thus, she repeated herself, “It’s fine! I’ll hail another cab one way or another! Thanks!”
The driver had grown fond of Skr because of her straightforward personality. He thought she wasn’t as
indifferent as the rumor had imed her to be.
In fact, she was one of the most easygoing celebrities he had ever encountered throughout his career.
Skr didn’t even have the chance to figure out the things going on because Thomas showed her the
way into the ce once she was done.

As they made their way through the passage with faint illumination, Skr noticed the handrail of the
stairs and the benches around had corroded.
It had been a long time since Skrst made her way there in the middle of the night. As she walked
down the hallway, she found everything familiar, including the scene and the lingering sensation in the
air.
She would only make her way back in thete evening during her high school days. In order to make her
way through the pitch-ck passage, she had to rely on her pink torchlight.
Concerned about her granddaughter, Meredith would stay up until Skr was back, no matter how long it
would take.
Meanwhile, the moment Skr stepped into the manor, she heard Sharon yelling at the top of her lungs
again.
Kevin was seated at the dining table with his head drooping over his shoulders.
When Sharon noticed Skr had shown up, she got increasingly infuriated and pinched Kevin’s ears in
front of Skr.
“What has gotten into your mind? You’re supposed to spend your time studying instead of wasting your
time and money ying games! Are you aware you have spent the entire family’s fortune just to have
fun?”
Skr was taken aback because Kevin had always been a top-notch student. As a matter of fact, he was
a match for Avery in terms of academic results.
Caressing his swollen ears, Kevin went dead silent, but his frustration was written all over his face. It was
evident the rebellious young man had no intention to listen to his parents.
Skr was confused about the reason her proud aunt, who would show off her exceptional son in front of
others, had summoned her over and taught him a lesson in front of her.
Wait! Is she trying to get me topensate them? What kind of joke is this?
When Kevin made his way back to his room, he banged the door shut, indicating he was irked.
