Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 42

Even so, Skylar couldn’t be bothered to care. She lightly pushed the door open, only to instantly hear a

roar coming from afar.

“You’ve got some serious nerve bringing your mother here, Skylar!”

Skylar hurriedly shut the door to prevent Miranda from hearing the voice in the hallway.

What a lively day it was, having her father and his current wife, Irene Ziegler, suddenly show up today.

Skylar was bewildered. How did they know Mom’s been brought here? Did they sniff her out like dogs?

Seeing them again made her unable to control her emotions, but she masked her true feelings well and

met their gazes casually.

“She’s just finished her sentence, so she’s getting treated at the hospital. Why can’t I bring her here?”

Thomas glared at her. “You’ve become so brazen after we haven’t seen each other for years. You even

for my help when you land yourself in debt?”

Skylar smiled faintly. “What use is there calling for you? I begged for your help when my grandma was

dying, but did you give me a single cent back then?”

Irene held onto Thomas’ arm in grief. “This daughter of yours is getting real clever, Honey. She even

managed to get a prisoner on death row released. If it weren’t for her mother, my sister would’ve still

been alive by now. Miranda’s a murderer who should die behind bars.”

In an excessive act of self-defense, Miranda had accidentally killed Irene’s sister back then.

Skylar could still recall how she had just come home from school when Miranda was being taken away

by the police.

She could never forget that sight. The neighbors had surrounded the young girl, gazing at her pitifully.

Some even seemed rather gleeful.

Skylar raised an eyebrow. “Oh, please. I’m not that capable. It’s not like I’m the one setting the law here.

They told me to go fetch her, so I did. What’s wrong with that?”

Sheldon sat on the long bench, spectating the family drama that was now taking place in front of his very

eyes.

This girl sure has some guts to talk to her father like that.

He glanced at the person-in-charge inside the ward.

Meanwhile, Miranda had been sedated and was probably in dreamland at this very moment.

“You wench! I won’t pay a single cent for the hospital bills. Your sister told me you’ve been working as a

nightclub hostess. That’s disgusting! You’re as despicable as your mother – a disgrace to the Joneses!”

Thomas raged.

Skylar’s smirk was full of sarcasm. “I wouldn’t have resorted to that if I had a choice, to begin with. Quit

running your mouth, Thomas. You don’t have the right to.”

“You!” Thomas swung an arm at Skylar.

But the young woman grabbed his wrist before he could lay a finger on her.

There was no way she would let Thomas strike her again.

Infuriated, Thomas yanked his hand away. “Stop your mother’s treatment at once, or I’ll give you both

hell for the rest of your lives.”

Skylar thought she had grown accustomed to this man’s harsh words. Yet, his latest threats caused her

chest to tighten in pain.

“Am I interfering with your family matters?” A tall man slowly emerged within Skylar’s line of sight.

The smile on Tobias’ face remained faint, but at the same time, bone-chilling and frosty.

Thomas and Irene turned, whereas Sheldon immediately stood up as though he had been electrified.

Thomas watched as Tobias’ eyes met Irene’s. The older couple was completely bewildered as to why

Tobias was here. Thomas, in particular, looked, especially tense.
