Chapter 647 How Greedy Can You Get
Skylar dropped her toast in surprise when she saw Miranda entering the password and coming in
through the front door. What the... It isn't even eight in the morning yet! What is Mom doing here?
“That's all they're feeding you? No wonder you're reduced to skin and bones!” Miranda grumbled when
she saw the whole wheat bread and milk on the table.
“Skylar requested for this meal herself. It's a very common diet for women who wish to control their
calorie intake. I'm not slacking off or anything,” Madelyn explained with a frown as she came out of the
kitchen.
Miranda simply rolled her eyes at Madelyn in response as she thought to herself. Honestly, Skylar is
being a little too nice to this housekeeper! How is this breakfast any different from what inmates get in
prison? I had a feeling Skylar wasn't eating well! Luckily, I bought her some food before coming over!
She then served up the poached salmon and omelet that she had bought and motioned for Skylar to
eat up.
“You came early today. Were you having trouble sleeping or something?” Skylar asked as she sat down
beside her.
“Hey, I wake up early every single day! I figured you weren't eating well since Tobias is away on a
business trip, so I decided to bring you breakfast!” Miranda replied.
Skylar was surprised at how well-informed Miranda was. On top of that, she found herself unused to
Miranda's sudden display of motherly affection.
“Look at the trouble Tobias has gotten himself into now. Five people have died! Has he contacted you
about this incident?” Miranda continued.
“He gave me a call, but he didn't go into detail about it,” Skylar replied while stuffing a piece of that
poached salmon into her mouth.
My goodness, just how dense can my daughter be? Doesn't she know when she's supposed to be
gentle and caring toward her man?
Frustrated at the thought of that, Miranda lectured Skylar, “You aren't busy with filming lately, are you?
If I were you, I'd be on the first flight to Salinsburgh! Men need the care and support of a woman in
times like these, you know? How could you just sit here and act like it has nothing to do with you?”
Miranda's relationship advice irritated Skylar to no end.
“Why can't I stay here? What could I possibly do after heading over? I can't bring the dead employees
back to life, nor can I help with organizing their funerals! I'd just end up causing him more problems if I
go there!” she snapped back at her.
The sight of Skylar casually munching on the poached salmon drove Miranda crazy with anxiety. “If you
keep this up, Tobias is going to get sick of you and leave you someday! You two have been together for
so long, and yet we haven't even met his family members! They don't even give a sh*t about you!” she
shouted angrily.
Skylar lowered her voice and tried to keep her emotions suppressed as she said, “I know what I'm
doing, Mom. Besides, I'm only twenty-two years old right now. I'll still be young after ten years.”
Oh, my goodness... This daughter of mine is beyond hope!
Not wanting to continue the topic, Miranda retrieved the petition from Harbourside's residents and
placed it on the table. “Only those in our family know that Tobias avoided this house because of you.
Right now, all of Harbourside's residents are preparing to start a protest!”
“Lately, I've been hearing about houses more than property agents talk about them. Those residents
can protest as much as they like for all I care!” Skylar replied with a frown.
Miranda jabbed a finger at her forehead in frustration. “What on earth even goes on in that thick skull of
yours, huh? This is a chance for everyone to make some big money! Look, if you won't talk to Tobias
about it, I will!”
“Do as you wish. Susan told me that the blueprints have already been confirmed, so it's practically
impossible to make any changes now. Why do you even bother with such pointless actions? I have
provided you with a villa to live in, and yet you're still obsessed with getting that old house demolished?
Just how greedy can you get?” Skylar asked while putting the plate of poached salmon aside.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
