Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
Chapter 256

Skylar placed her bag on the wooden chair and rested her chin on her hands while looking at Miranda, who was immersed in her own beauty. "Are you sure he's on a business trip? Maybe he's hiding from you Just look for other men if you really want to have a man."

Miranda frowned and took a glance at Skylar. "I went to prison back then, but now, everything's different. I'll take back everything he owes me. It's time for us three to have a reunion."

Skylar felt there must be some secret between Miranda and Thomas, seeing as how Miranda was so confident that the latter would abandon his family to be together with her.

In Skylar's opinion, Miranda was more or less daydreaming.

She looked at Miranda curiously and spoke in a relaxed tone, as if she was talking about others' matters, even if it actually traumatized her.

She said, "Why do I feel that you've changed? You used to hate me to death in the past when I visited you with Grandma, and you're displeased that I'm not a boy. What happened to you?" After voicing out her doubts, the tension in her heart was released, and she felt relaxed. Miranda's change was unbelievable and odd.

Miranda placed her hand on her daughter's shoulders and said seriously, "I have my pride to uphold, and I don't want my daughter to think I'm miserable. I was depressed in the prison, always thinking of going out and hoping to see the outside world again one day. And I received a chance to go on medical parole, so I grasped it and pretended to be crazy. I was a little sick in the head, but it wasn't too serious to the point of losing my mind. It's just that the doctors kept giving me tranquilizers and antidepressants."

Miranda's answer completely demolished Skylar's opinion of her. It seemed her mom wasn't hopelessly romantic but full of schemes.

However, Skylar felt that something was fishy behind Miranda's release from the prison. Miranda's mental condition isn't severe enough for her to be on medical parole, and it isn't easy to exploit loopholes of the law. How did she break out from the prison so easily? I don't think pretending to be crazy can achieve this.

Could it be Tobias was secretly helping her?

Then why didn't he tell me anything?

Walls have ears. Miranda's words were heard by the people eating meat fondue next door.

In a careful manner, Sharon deliberately locked the door and lowered her voice. "No wonder Miranda's out of the prison so fast. She's pretending to be sick!"

Wesley said nothing as he continued to cook the meat, all the while staring at the pot.

Looking at his cowardly behavior, Sharon was utterly furious. "I'm talking to you! When do you think she'll leave? We're not some charity organization, offering people a place to live."

Wesley sighed and said helplessly, "What do you want me to do? Mom didn't leave the house to Skylar, but she didn't remove Miranda's name, so half of this house belongs to her. I can't possibly kick her out. If you really want to say it, then go ahead."

Sharon was so enraged that she almost flipped the table, but she didn't dare to make too much noise as it might attract Miranda's attention. "I can't do that. Miranda killed someone before! Do you want your wife to die in her hands?"

Eva drank a sip of fruit juice to ease the spiciness and raised a brow. "Why are you guys fighting over this? She's on medical parole, but getting discharged doesn't mean she is free from her punishment. They are so foolish. Aunt Miranda is sentenced to life imprisonment and after she's released, she'll be in her seventies or eighties. So, she shouldn't be here now. Don't you guys understand?"

Sharon and Wesley exchanged glances, and it was as clear as day that they didn't understand what their daughter was hinting at.
