Chapter 570


    Leaning on the sofa with her legs crossed, she sneered, “They really are desperate. I told them that I will


    give them an answer in three days, and it has only been a day and a half since then. They just want to


    put me in a difficult spot, thinking that I will waver due to my pity for Kevin. However, given what he has


    done at such a young age, he doesn’t deserve my sympathy at all.”


    Miranda was peeved at how Wesley’s family was threatening Skr. After all, she knew Skr didn’t


    have that much money.


    Grabbing Skr by her arm, Miranda pulled her up from the sofa. She suggested angrily, “Let’s go and


    confront them. I want to know why they are ckmailing us. All this while, they have always boasted


    about how capable their daughter is. But now that they have a crisis, why aren’t they banking their hopes


    on her? Instead, they chose to victimize you.”


    Miranda had blown her top off. It wasn’t until she heard the doorbell, that she let Skr go and opened


    the door.


    Sitting on her sofa, Skr’s eyes widened in shock. Although Miranda had pushed the person out, she


    caught a clear glimpse of who it was. He was none other than Molly’s father.


    Skr’s gaze darkened as she questioned Miranda, “What are you doing with Molly’s dad?”


    Smiling awkwardly, Miranda replied, “You must have gotten it wrong. It was just the milkman. He just


    informed me that he was out of strawberry-vored milk, and he only has fresh milk left. I told him that I


    don’t want any then.”


    When Miranda continued to lie tantly, Skr suddenly remembered Molly grumbling to her that her


    mom suspected her dad of having an affair.


    Closing her eyes, Skr took a deep breath as she could feel how suffocating her life had be. Not


    only does my family not provide any support, but they also seem intent on holding me back and won’t be


    happy until they have destroyed my reputation.


    Despite Skr’s questioning, Miranda was adamant in her denial and insisted Skr had made a


    mistake.


    As of now, Skr wasn’t sure if Molly was trying to get close to her because of her fame or if she had a


    different agenda instead.


    Given how Miranda had always gotten herself into trouble because of love, Skr warned her not to


    cause any trouble and reminded her to have some decency.


    Irritated by Skr’s lectures, Miranda quickly got her to leave.


    Meanwhile, without prior notice, Tobias came to pick Skr up, saying that he wanted her to return to the


    Ford residence with him.


    Skr asked nervously, “Why do you need me there? I am not prepared, and the makeup on my face is


    starting to cake. Can we go tomorrow instead?”


    ncing at her, Tobias replied with a smile, “You look gorgeous. If you still want to freshen up, there are


    some wet towels in the car which you can use.”


    Skr was dumbfounded. Using a wet towel to wipe a face full of makeup will only make things worse.


    Does he even know anything about girls?


    When they arrived at the Ford residence, Skr was still mentally unprepared. Every time she met


    udia, she would always feel that she was put on trial.


    It didn’t help that udia had a cold look. She would always look aloof and dignified, just like ady of


    noble birth in the olden days.


    Given that Tobias had taken after udia, he emitted the same frosty vibe as his mom.


    As it was already nightfall, Skr wasn’t sure if they were going to have dinner or supper.


    The food that greeted them looked exquisite and scrumptious, just like pieces of art. Skr felt that it


    was indeed wonderful to have a chef at home.


    Meanwhile, Skr knew it was rude to touch the cutlery before udia did. Seated beside Tobias, she


    felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.


    “Ms. Jones, you seem to have been very popr recently. I keep seeing you in the news every other


    day.”


    Skr forced herself to smile. “Sometimes, it’s necessary to have some publicity. As the reports are


    largely baseless, I don’t pay too much attention to them.”


    Tobias didn’t know what his mom was up to when she insisted on having dinner with Skr.

    He had already rejected her many times, with the excuse that Skr was busy. But, udia was


    adamant in wanting to see her.
