Holding the admission letter in her hand, she felt growing hatred for Jeremy upon her flashbacks to the

past.

She had sacrificed too much for the previous relationship.

Meanwhile, Tobias did not break his promise as she got the admission letter the day after she moved

in.

She took a picture of the letter and sent it to Penelope.

Penelope texted back in mere seconds: What?

Skylar replied back: That’s right. I’m going to university! I’m finally no longer a high school graduate!

Instantly, Penelope texted: Wait… Didn’t you give all your tuition fees to Jeremy? Where did you get the

money? From a crowdfunding platform?

Skylar then responded: I don’t have the audacity to do that and get verbally attacked by those

benevolent people out there. Anyway, it’s a long story.

After a few seconds, Penelope replied: Make it short then. Where did you get your tuition fees? Your

dad?

Skylar texted back: You should definitely stop daydreaming. Anyhow, I’ll tell you in person next time!

Hearing the notification sound of her phone, Skylar ignored it and did not reply to Penelope; it was

easier for her to tell the latter about it clearly in person.

Apart from going downstairs for food, Skylar spent almost the entire day in the room.

Laura’s attitude toward her was lukewarm.

As Tobias was not home, Laura acted like the lady of the house and even invited her best friend over.

While Skylar was going down the stairs to get some water, she heard Laura complaining to her best

friend as they chatted loudly downstairs.

“It’s nice to be on my own here. Unexpectedly, Mr. Ford brings a woman to live here. Now I have to wait

on her every day, and I can’t even sleep in. That girl gets up earlier than a chicken.”

“Didn’t you say that Tobias is getting married soon? Is the woman his fiancée?” asked Laura’s friend.

“How could it be possible? If it were Ms. Hanson, I would be willing to serve her. But this woman is just

some riffraff.”

“Oh goodness, in that case, if Ms. Hanson comes after this woman, you must stay far away from them

and don’t get yourself involved.”

Realizing that she was the subject of their gossip, Skylar went downstairs in a leisurely manner and

said slowly, “Laura, I remember I told you what my name is, so I’m not some riffraff.”

Turning around, Laura saw Skylar’s charming face that was wearing a chilling smile.

Laura’s best friend gave an awkward smile as she said, “Umm, I’ll take my leave now. Talk to you again

when you’re free.”

Then, she fled the scene surprisingly fast for someone her age.

Laura and Skylar were the only ones left at home, and the former did not know how much Skylar had

heard.

After that, Skylar sat on the sofa while propping her face with her hands, staring at Laura with a broad

smile.

Being stared at by her like this sent chills down Laura’s spine.

Breaking the silence, the older woman cleared her throat and said, “I didn’t talk about you just now.

Don’t get me wrong.”

Skylar raised her eyebrows slightly. “I know you look down on me, but I also look down on you now.

Hence, it’s best that we stay out of each other’s way. Badmouthing others may cause mouth sores.”

Laura didn’t dare to have a head-on conflict with Skylar as the latter was Tobias’ woman now.

She was afraid that Skylar would speak ill of her in front of Tobias, who had always been a rough

character.

“So I’m going to make dinner.” Laura got up to go to the kitchen.

Previously, Skylar had told Laura that she could cook anything for her as she did not want to burden

others.

While Laura did as told by making simple dishes every day using only cabbage, lettuce, and spinach.

Skylar got bored of it but still did not say anything about the bland taste.

“BBQ ribs, garlic chili prawn pasta, roasted pork loin, chicken Maryland, and also mushroom soup.”

Skylar began to tell Laura the food she wanted to eat this time.

Instead of making what she wanted, Laura protested, “Can you finish so much food? It’s not good to

have so much meat.”
