Miranda felt wronged and her bright grin disappeared from her face. She could not understand why
Skylar was so upset when their family of three would soon reunite.
Suddenly, Irene exclaimed. Samuel had approached and gave her a stinging smack on the face.
It was a powerful and brutal slap. Irene was almost sent sprawling on the floor if Avery had not
supported her.
She had never been this furious in her life!
After that incident though, Tobias changed her perspective about Skylar. He always had the impression
that she was a wimp, who would just endure any oppression.
It seems like this shrewd girl can be ruthless too. She had her revenge taken without moving a finger.
Skylar took out a brand new two-hundred note from her purse and placed it next to the birthday cake. “I
haven’t had a chance to wish you a happy birthday. Take this as your present.”
Thomas was extremely humiliated. His life was completely ruined by Miranda. I should have gotten rid

He could only curse in his heart because he needed Tobias’ help to acquire Quest Group to get out of
the quagmire.
He was confident that Tobias had the ability to turn things around and revive Quest, which was on the
verge of bankruptcy.
Hence, he could not burn bridges with Skylar.
The dirty laundry of the Joneses was aired in all major media the following day, causing a frenzy
amongst netizens. The drama involving a prominent family piqued their interest.

Skylar woke up to a long list of popular searches and a series of Instagram hashtags featuring the
Joneses. However, her face and Miranda’s were censored in all related news.
Although Tobias was present at the banquet, his name did not come up on the search either.
He did appear in a few screenshots posted as comments, but those were also removed almost
instantaneously.
Anxious, she hugged her pillow. I was too careless. I didn’t expect this to blow up on such a big scale.
“You’ve ordered for the news to be removed?” Skylar leaned on Tobias.
After an intimate night, he was still exhausted and sleepy.
Skylar, on the contrary, was exceptionally energetic. She had been following the updates on Instagram
since dawn and realized that the netizens empathized with the original Mrs. Jones and despised the
mistress.
Thank goodness no one has dug deep enough into the scandal yet.
Surprisingly, Hayden gained much popularity out of the incident. The published photos characterized
him as a wealthy heir, attracting the attention of most female netizens. One even outrightly proposed to
him online: I don’t mind about your family affairs. I want to marry you!
Tobias snatched away Skylar’s phone, turned it off, and chucked it aside. “Whatever happened
yesterday will surely go viral. Thus, I’ve instructed the public relations team to look into it. Rest assured
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat your mother won’t be exposed. The media who were on site took a lot of your videos. So, for your
sake, it’s better I do something to suppress the news.”
She responded softly, “I’m certain that your mom would see the news. Sigh, her impression of me will
only get worse.”
Tobias grinned. “It won’t. Don’t worry.”
Skylar lay her head on his chest. She loved that position a lot because she could clearly hear his
beating heart. “That’s because I’ve hit rock bottom, right? By the way, I’ll finish filming tomorrow. I’ll be
super busy after that and we won’t get to see each other often. Do you have any plans?”
She reached out to his hand while he locked fingers with her. “It sounds like friends with benefits are
taking things to the next level. It’s hard to plan ahead. Let’s play by ear, shall we?”
Skylar giggled. We always go along with what he has in mind. It’s never about my plans or how I feel.
We’re literally taking one day at a time.
“When I become famous, would you mind if I get involved in some juicy news for marketing purposes?”
Tobias was jealous when Skylar had a brief conversation with Kai. So, she thought that he would
probably not agree to it.
“Well, if it’s for work purposes, you can go ahead with it.”
Skylar simply nodded. All right then, since he doesn’t care about this, there’s no need for any chastity
vows.
