Chapter 543


    Despite having a smile on his face, Tobias had no intention of interacting with Miranda.


    Miranda remained all pumped up. “Tobias! I haven’t seen you in quite a while. How have you been?


    How’s your work? Has Skr been good to you?”


    Skr felt so embarrassed. “All right, dinner’s over. I’ll get someone to send you home now.”


    Miranda instantly shot daggers at her. Is she trying to chase me away? I’m just trying to help her improve


    her rtionship with Tobias!


    Tobias kept his reply short. “Everything’s fine. I have to go upstairs and reply to an urgent email now.


    Catch up with you soon.”


    Skr understood why Tobias wanted to stay away from Miranda. I bet he must have had enough of her


    rambling.


    Not only that, Miranda would indirectly force Tobias to make promises that would benefit her.


    It was clear that Miranda wanted to cling on to her wealthy son-inw for the rest of her life.


    Miranda gave Skr a disdainful look upon seeing how aloof Tobias was. “How disrespectful. It’s all your


    fault.”


    Skr pointed at herself and did not know how to react to that remark. “My fault? What has his attitude


    got to do with me?”


    Miranda sighed and frowned. “Can’t you see how annoyed he was? He’s annoyed because he’s sick of


    you, and that’s why he vented his frustration on me. You have to work harder to make him happy. What if


    he dumps you?”


    “I’ll not break up with her. Don’t worry.” All of a sudden, Tobias’ voice came from the back.


    He overheard their conversation when he wasing downstairs to retrieve his phone.


    To Miranda, this was the best reassurance he could give her. Everything Skr owned today was


    because of Tobias. Hence, Miranda knew they must cling to him to maintain their current lifestyle.


    Skr could only look at Miranda and shake her head. When will my misery end?


    Skr had been tolerating Miranda’s behavior all this while. She would turn a blind eye to the things


    Miranda did as long as she did not cause problems. Skr understood it would be difficult for her mother


    to get rid of her bad habits at this stage of her life after years of suffering in jail.


    Tobias then ordered his chauffeur to send Miranda home. Before leaving, Miranda reminded Skr to


    start acting like an employer in front of the housekeepers. Otherwise, they would take advantage of her.


    We should never be too kind to all these housekeepers. After all, these ingrates are not our family


    members.


    The remark Miranda made loudly in themon area put Skr in an awkward position. Skr believed


    Madelyn must have heard what Miranda said.


    After Miranda left, Madelyn went up to Skr and said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Jones, I think I should quit. I’ve


    been working as a housekeeper for years, and I’ve never been humiliated like this before. I’ve always


    tried my best to keep the house as clean as possible, and if you’re unhappy with my performance, tell me


    straight instead of talking bad about me behind my back.”

    Skr had always been pleased with Madelyn’s work. Though Madelyn would ck off a little once in a


    while, Skr had neverined about her.


    Madelyn would also indirectly pressure Skr into increasing her pay by convincing thetter that their


    neighbor paid their housekeeper at a higher rate.


    Though Tobias was the one who hired Madelyn, Skr decided to take care of Madelyn’s sry as she


    did not want to take advantage of Tobias.


    The sry Skr offered Madelyn was based on the research she had done.


    Skr believed Madelyn’s monthly sry was a reasonable rate as and there was no need for Madelyn


    to take care of children or elderly folks. Furthermore, Skr did note from a wealthy family, and she


    could only pay Madelyn within her financial means.


    She did not understand why this housekeeper of hers was still unhappy with the pay.
