    Chapter 595 I Do Not Want You To Get Involved


    While Tobias’ reaction was expected, Skr regretted telling Miranda about Thomas.


    She gave up arguing with Miranda and pacified her, “Okay, I won’t sign it. Stop shouting, my hearing has


    been very poortely as I have to listen to the loud speaker at the filming set every day.”


    During dinner, Skr did not have much appetite. After having only a few mouthfuls, she left with Tobias.


    Back at the residential area, Skr saw Molly’s father, Patrick Zimmer.


    It was not her first time running into him. Thest time they met, he appeared at the entrance to


    Miranda’s house.


    Wearing a ck-framed sses, Patrick looked elegant, graceful, and handsome as always. Even at an


    old age, he was still rocking a modern perm.


    He seemed to be in a hurry, but stopped in his tracks when Skr called him. He looked rather awkward.


    “Skr, it’s been a while. You’re still as beautiful as ever.”


    She replied courteously, “What a coincidence, Mr. Zimmer. Why are you here? Do you stay nearby?”


    He nodded, but quickly shook his head afterward. “My friend lives here. I’m here to look for my friend.”


    Then, they had a short small talk. If Tobias was not urging for her to leave, Skr had wanted to ask


    Patrick if he came to see Miranda.


    Upon entering the car, Skr found a pen in the glovepartment. Without any hesitation, she signed


    the agreement. She screwed the cap back and flicked the document with her finger, looking relieved.


    She smiled. “You know very well that I don’t need the inheritance. I’m sure you think that it’s not


    necessary, right?”


    Tobias took the agreement from Skr, folded it into half and kept it in the glovepartment. “It’s not


    that I know you well; I did it for my own sake too. I don’t want you to get involved too much. My mom


    won’t be pleased to find out about the bitter conflicts in your family.”


    Skr heaved a long sigh. Turns out, Tobias isn’t afraid to face any trouble; he just doesn’t want me to


    trouble him. I should thank him for his honesty.


    Feeling rather ashamed, she muttered, “I’m sorry that I often trouble you because of my family affairs.”


    He held her hands and said gently, “There’s no need to apologize. I just can’t bear to see you feeling


    aggrieved.”


    She sighed again. Over the years, she had grown numb toward the series of unfortunate events befalling


    her. Had it not been for her ability to withstand stress, she would not be able to survive it all. Conversely,


    she might have chosen to end her life by jumping off a building too…


    Meanwhile, Thomas was resting on the hospital bed. Feeling weak and lethargic, he had not recovered


    much.


    Colleen felt so bad seeing her son in agony. “Why did you give in to the negative thoughts and choose to


    consume pesticide? Did you think about your mom and dad?”


    With his eyes shut, Thomas said hopelessly, “Mom, what’s there to life besides high debts? Since Quest


    Group has been acquired by Ford Group, they oppressed us step by step for their own benefits. The first


    thing Tobias did was to kick me out of the board. He’s a vicious cannibal!”Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Thomas leaned on the pillow to obtain support. Colleen was bbergasted to learn how bad the


    company’s situation was.


    She had heard about the acquisition by Ford Group. However, she naively thought that Tobias helped the


    Jones family because of Skr.


    No wonder Skr wanted to sign the agreement without thinking twice and Tobias did not stop her either.


    If Thomas was dead and all he left behind was huge debts, where would there be any money to pass


    down to his children?


    Thomas smiled wryly. “I’ve been in a high and lofty position all of my life. Now, I’m down in the dumps


    because I’ve reached an all-time low. It’s better for me to die than to drag others down with me.”
