Chapter 593 Karma

Avery had told tales about Skylar in the family chat group, framing Skylar as the culprit who forced Thomas to

admit his wrongdoings in the past.

As a successful entrepreneur, Thomas was a prideful person. When the scandal went viral on social media, his

reputation was totally ruined. Consequently, the family business started going downhill henceforth.

Skylar sat quietly on the hospital bench. Wearing only a thin black wool sweater, her face was as white as a sheet

even though the temperature was not very low.

Tobias put his jacket on her, worried that she might catch a cold.

She asked, “Why did they contact you?”

He replied, “They couldn’t reach you, so they called my company. They wanted you to sign the succession rejection

agreements and a letter to formally cut off ties with the Jones family.”

Skylar did not know how to respond to that. How ridiculously ironic is this that they’re already scheming while that

man isn’t even dead yet!

Finally, the door to the emergency room was opened. A doctor stepped out along with two nurses. Everyone

scrambled forward, except for Skylar and Tobias.

The doctor informed the family members, “The patient is out of danger now, but his condition still needs to be

monitored. Fortunately, he didn’t consume a large quantity of pesticide. If he was sent any later, the outcome

would have been very severe.”

Upon hearing that Thomas was saved, Tobias felt sorry for what Skylar had to put up with at the hospital.

Avery did not rush to see Thomas. Instead, she wailed loudly while walking toward Skylar and pointed her finger at

the latter. Avery accused her, “Are you happy now? If it weren’t for you, Dad won’t end up in this state. My career

won’t hit rock bottom either. You’ve destroyed my family!”

Skylar maintained her composure. Her gaze was resolute and cold. She believed in karma.

“If you didn’t expose my identity, how could it develop into such a horrible mess? It’s fated. You can’t blame it on

me.”

Avery went ballistic. Skylar was like a thorn in her flesh.

“You’re lamenting about your acting career while your dad is still lying on the hospital bed?” Tobias questioned.

Avery did not dare to offend Tobias. She had been plotting to taint Skylar’s reputation in order to make Tobias hate

her. Avery had been patiently waiting for Charles to take action. However, she was told that the time was not right

because Skylar was hardly seen hanging out alone late at night.

“Aren’t you going in?” Tobias rose to his feet. The Joneses had entered the ward, leaving an empty hallway.

Skylar shook her head. “Why should I? Knowing that he’s alive will suffice. I can’t be bothered with anything else.

Even if he died, it’s got nothing to do with me.”

She looked at the documents given to her by her relatives, requesting that she signed them to voluntarily

renunciate her inheritance.

Even at this critical moment, the Joneses will only reunite for one thing—money talk. They’re afraid that the

daughter of Thomas’ former wife might get a slice of the pie.

Skylar did not have any reason to sign the document. So, she kept it in her bag.

Right before leaving, someone called out to her. She turned around and saw an elderly woman with a ruddy

complexion taking steady steps toward her.

If she remembered correctly, that was her grandmother, Colleen Chord.

“The family is now panic-stricken after facing such an emergency. Don’t take things to heart. You don’t have to sign

the agreement.”

Skylar opened her mouth, but she could not bring herself to address her grandmother.

She did not have much impression about Colleen, who had been living in the countryside with her grandfather,

Dave Jones. I heard that the houses there are huge.

The only memory she had about her grandmother was that she would give the latter some money annually to get

some new clothes.

However, Colleen never accepted her money. She must have her reasons. At least, she recognizes me as her

granddaughter.
