Chapter 562
After all, Wesley and Sharon were the kinds that always felt they were self-deserving and therefore,
entitled to be treated well.
From Wesley’s perspective, he was the one that raised Skr. If not for her, Meredith’s pension would
have been given to him instead. After all, he was Meredith’s son.
Skr could still remember what happened when Miranda had just been sent to prison. Wesley was the
first one to make his position known.
She had assumed he wanted to take her in given that Miranda was his sister.
Instead, Wesley suggested to Meredith to have her sent to either her dad or an orphanage.
However, Meredith rejected the idea about sending Skr to the orphanage while Thomas refused to
acknowledge her as his daughter.
Worried that Skr would be bullied by her stepmother and stepsisters, Meredith decided to raise her on
her own.
Consequently, Wesley’s rtionship with Meredith became strained and it took them a few years to
reconcile. After that, Skr would move between families as if she was a ball being kicked around.
Ever since Meredith died, Skr felt lonely no matter how luxurious her home was. She would feel
miserable and empty as it didn’t give her a feeling of home.
Meanwhile, when she saw Kevining downstairs, she noticed his stubble and all the pimples on his
face. A boy going through puberty was when he would experience the peak of male hormone secretion.
Skr asked, “Where are you going? Don’t you have school since it’s a weekday? Since you’re already
in high school, you have to be more serious about your studies.”
Kevin nodded without a reply. Holding his bag with one hand, he looked at Tobias in the dark building
they were in.
“Are you rich?”
Thinking that he was asking her, she replied with a frown, “Have you been ying games on your phone
again?”
Kevin continued, “Skr, I’m not asking you. I’m asking the one beside you if he is rich.”
Tobias’ expression darkened as he wondered why a high school student would want to know.
He replied, “You can say that.”
Kevin’s expression changed from one of despair to hope. Now, he had to leave it to his parents while all
he wanted to do was hide.
Just when she was bewildered by the question, Tobias asked her, “How old is your cousin?”
“He’s in high school, but I’m not sure about his exact age. Despite being Eva’s brother, don’t you think
they don’t resemble each other at all?”
Tobias didn’t care about their resemnce. He was more concerned with why Kevin didn’t look like a
student.
When Sharon saw that Tobias hade along with Skr, she was suddenly filled with hope. She
quickly grabbed onto Tobias’ arm in front of Skr.
She was overwhelmed by emotion as Tobias’ arrival felt like a light that illuminated the darkness that was
their despair.
As Sharon clung onto Tobias tightly, he tried to shake her off as soon as he could.
“Skr, your cousin was tricked and lost a lot of money. This time it isn’t about the game credits. Can you
help him out again?”
Sharon sounded as it was Skr’s responsibility to deal with it.

When she nced at Tobias, she could see the look of contempt on his face.
Nowadays, it wasmon for one to ask about one’s rtives before marriage. They would like to know
the number of one’s rtives and what they do for a living.
Skr finally understood why this was so important before one got married. No one wanted to have
troublesome rtives anyway.
Hence, she regretted letting Tobiase along. After all, he had already helped out thest time.
However, of all days, he had to choose not to go to the office that day.
This time, Skr wasn’t going to let Tobias get involved anymore.
She admonished them, “Can’t you keep an eye on Kevin? Didn’t you learn a lesson fromst time? How
can he be involved in gambling at such a young age?”
