SWNOVELS Chapter 584
Chapter 584 The Ungrateful Child
“I came back for business. Oh, speaking of which, when did I allow you to enter the entertainment industry? I don't think you're cut out for it. Why can't you do something else?” Xander scolded.
Ingrid’s mood instantly turned sour. “Can't I give it a try? This is something I want to do. Besides, did you come back alone? Where's mom?”
“She's busy.” Tobias cut open the tip of a cigar and held it to his mouth. Marcus did not say a word the entire time. On the other hand, Xander had signed the divorce agreement papers abroad and the assets had been notarized.
Marcus was not surprised by his decision and knew this would happen one day. Who could stand their own husband having an affair with another woman? Besides, she was a mistress herself. Hence, she was the classic example of karma.
"Dad, are you here to settle matters of the company? It seems like ZY Group is not doing well thanks to the Ford Group. Are you here in search of a way out?” Marcus asked.
Xander eyed him and said, “The best thing you can do now is to spend less of my money.”
Ingrid started to complain at the mention of Tobias. “Marcus, you can decide who becomes the female lead since you're the producer of the filming crew, right? Why did you allow Skylar to act in it? Are you going to watch her bully me like that?”
Marcus frowned, “I doubt anyone can bully you considering how much you weigh.”
Xander was surprised to hear Skylar's name. I've seen her from pictures and Largo even introduced her to me. He mentioned that she was an ordinary girl who wanted to get involved in the entertainment industry. I always thought I could get her. However, there was no news of her after some time passed.
Marcus knew what was on Xander's mind and said with contempt, "Dad, stop it! Why're you thinking about a girl in her twenties when you're a sixty-year-old man who could perfectly be his grandpa.” “What nonsense are you babbling about?” Xander snapped angrily. Marcus did not plan to expose Xander. He was aware that the conversation would lead to nowhere. Moreover, he was a womanizer and would get into trouble one day.
Ingrid noticed no one was paying attention to her. Hence, she spoke up once again. “Marcus, you have to give me more air time. I'm not going to be a supporting role to Skylar. I want to take revenge for what she did to me."
"Did you really think that she would fall in love with your good for nothing toy boy?” Marcus pointed out helplessly.
“Do you have a crush on her or something? Why're you speaking as if you favor her?” Ingrid questioned.
Marcus closed his eyes as he recalled the tragedy in the past. He couldn't help but shudder at the memories and muttered, “I'll never fall in love with another woman ever. Yet, no one can stop me from going after his woman either.”
Kevin:
I pretended to be sick to gain public attention out for fun. Hence, I hereby would like to apologize to all the netizens for my reckless behavior. I'm healthy as a horse. I would also like to apologize for all the trouble that I have caused my cousin, Skylar Jones. She didn’t once blame me nor publicly reprimanded my action. Instead, she endured all the rumors and speculation which have affected her career quietly for the sake of my future. Once again, I apologize to everyone humbly. Kevin posted a tweet on Twitter to clarify the matter. He explained the situation with simple words and had led to a huge commotion on the internet.
Skylar was shocked when she saw the post on Twitter. I was waiting for the media to clear the air. However, Kevin beat them to it. Has he finally found his conscience? Obviously not.
Thus, she decided to call Kevin to find out.
Kevin's apology post online wasn't bad, yet his attitude to Skylar was very bad. He sounded as if he was the victim instead.
“Are you happy now, Skylar? Now everyone online actually wants me to fall sick. I can’t even go back to school without having a single person calling me a liar and a retard. To add on, my girlfriend also wants to break up with me.”
“Look, I didn't force you to post that on Twitter nor did I explained myself to the public. I wasn't even planning to take any action since you're a young boy. Yet, you're blaming me?”
