SWNOVELS Chapter 594
Chapter 594 Give It All To Me
Miranda and Meredith would always talk about Colleen with gritted teeth. They would harp on the past, blaming Colleen and Dave for forcing Thomas to marry Irene, who had a comparatively better family background. Otherwise, Thomas would not have divorced Miranda Feeling somewhat distant, Skylar replied, “I know what to do. You take care of yourself.”
Skylar could tell that Colleen was reluctant to part with her. Seeing her eyes turning red and glistened with tears, Skylar's heart softened. “What? Committed suicide? How's he now? Dead or alive?” Miranda was worked up when she learnt the bad news.
Skylar told her everything she knew. Miranda's heart wrenched
Taking a deep breath, she lamented, “Alas, this happened. Does he think that killing himself would resolve all of his problems? I have...” Miranda faltered. The unspoken words fell dead on her lips because Tobias was present. She did not want him to know about the truth as he was an outsider, after all.
Skylar noticed that Miranda was simply shocked to the core. There was no sign of sympathy or sorrow in her expression, leading to only one possibility. Hence, she concluded that Miranda had no more feelings for Thomas.
Perhaps this is a good thing. I'd gladly accept that at any time, as long as she doesn't wreck another family. No matter how old a woman gets, she'll always long for someone who knows her best to be by her side. Skylar took out the agreement. The Joneses was worried that Thomas might make another attempt since he was emotionally unstable. Thomas was diagnosed with depression after failing in both his business and marriage. In addition, his reputation is completely ruined. Which of these isn’t a tough blow for him to take?
Skylar asked, “Do you have a pen? I'll sign it.”
After scanning the contents, Miranda stopped her. “Are you stupid? Why are you signing this? He might not be doing well now, but there're still a lot of benefits for you. Do you know how much net assets does he have? You're his daughter too. Why must you give up on your inheritance? You deserve your share.”
Skylar had never wanted to take advantage of the Joneses. She stated firmly, “I'm not in need of money. Why do I want to share a piece of the pie? If something happens to Thomas and I become the beneficiary, do you think the rest of them will let me live peacefully?”
Tobias was sipping his tea, showing no intention of getting involved in the mother-and-daughter debate.
Miranda commented, “Why are you afraid when you have Tobias backing you up? None of the Joneses will dare to bully you.”
Skylar's smile stiffened. How long will Tobias be on my side? The greediness exemplified by the Jones family will only get greater. They're probably waiting for the day Tobias breaks up with me, then tackle me with despicable means.
Seeing that Tobias was silent, Miranda spoke even louder to make sure she was heard, “Don't sign it. You don't want it, but I do. Tobias will treat you well, so you won't mind not having any inheritance. Just give them all to me. Who in their sane mind would complain about having too much money?”
Skylar felt so embarrassed. It's obvious what Tobias thinks about this whole situation. Does she not see it?
Tobias uttered calmly while subconsciously rubbing his knees, “Go ahead and sign it. It's good to cut off all ties.”
Miranda was dumbfounded. Though Thomas is bankrupt, Skylar can still get a few million. It's easy for Tobias to say so because he has deep pockets and the money has got nothing to do with him. Horror-stricken, Miranda was a bundle of nerves. “No, don't sign it. We deserve all these. They owe it all to me!”
