Chapter 512
Winnie’s wrath was written all over her face. She warned Skr with her teeth clenched, “Stop ying
pretend in front of me! You were the one behind the scenes at the ce of the Fords! You won’t get to
be one of the Fords because Tobias will never marry you!”
Skr forced a smile and asserted, “Oh? Why would I want to join the household of the Fords when
Tobias had given me everything I sought? Speaking of which, have you no shame as a fellow woman?
Why don’t you stay away from Sheldon when he has made himself clear it’s over between you and him?”
Skr had rubbed salt into Winnie’s wound. As a result, Winnie yelled, “Thanks for your concerns, but
that’s none of your business because we’re just fine! Why don’t you mind your business instead of being
a busybody, listening to baseless usations from others?”
Shrugging her shoulders, Skr announced, “Am I not supposed to return the favor when you have
expressed your concerns over my rtionship with Tobias?”
Winnie could barely suppress her wrath and started stomping her feet. She felt a strong urge to take out
the woman in front of her because she would be having a great time in life if Skr hadn’t gotten in her
way.
In the meantime, Skr noticed a bunch of paparazzi had shown up and started following her the
moment she stepped out of thepany.
Although it was something she had to deal with being a public figure, she found it unbearable since she
would have to carry herself in an elegant manner at all times. Otherwise, she would make it to the
headline for something negative.
Once she boarded the MPV that was parked nearby, she headed over to Miranda’s ce.
When Skr showed up, she saw her mother on the couch, watching television with a te of fruits on
the coffee table.
Ever since she was released, she became a television addict and binge-watched a few melodramas.
Little did Skr know it was an attempt to make up for the time she spent behind bars since convicts
weren’t allowed to have screen time when they were serving sentences.

Skr brought the things she purchased from a nearby supermarket into the kitchen. When she opened
the refrigerator, she noticed there was not a single speck of dust inside.
She then turned around and asked the weeping woman on the couch, “Aren’t you supposed to get
yourself something to cook? What do you eat on a daily basis when there’s nothing for you to cook?”
Miranda, who waspletely immersed in the melodrama, deadpanned her reply. “It’s quite a hassle to
visit the supermarket because I don’t have a car. I’ll just get someone else to deliver my meal. It’s not a
big deal as long as I have my phone with me. Besides, you’re the one paying since your credit card has
been authorized for payment.”
Why does she behave as though she’s done nothing wrong when her life ispletely messed up
because of her negligence?
Well, I guess I’m finally having a taste of my own medicine, huh? Is this how Tobias has been feeling
whenever I behave in a simr manner?
Then, Skr started sorting the things she had purchased without taking a breather. On the other hand,
Miranda had no intention to offer her help.
When the episode she had been watching ended, she walked into the kitchen and announced, “Our
neighbors have been greeting me ever since Empyrean Sword airs.”
Skr, who was in the middle of doing the dishes, wiped her hands dry and asked, “They have figured
out our rtionship because of you, haven’t they? Mom, can you please lie low instead of garnering
unnecessary attention?”
Her mother found her dramatic and said, “Can’t I be proud of my exceptional daughter? My friends had
distanced themselves from me the moment I was thrown behind bars! I’m going to prove the realistic
bunch wrong!”
Miranda had always enjoyed showing off. The years she spent behind bars hadn’t changed that bad
habit of hers.
