Skylar brought nothing but a ballpoint pen to the B2 French exam, and she calmly put it away in her pocket after the exam was over.
Avery was in the same venue as her for the exam, but the results did not matter to her.
Instead, she stood in the corridor and stuck out and arm to block Skylar when she walked past.
“I heard that your mother was discharged from the hospital,” Avery said accusingly. “Shouldn’t murderers stay in jail? Why isn’t she sent back immediately?”
Skylar scoffed.Looks like you’re keeping yourself updated!
Tobias had told her that he would settle the matter for Miranda, but she figured that he would have forgotten about it by now.
She grimaced.That would bepretty embarrassing…
Tobias was a busy man, and there was no telling if he had the time or energy to think about her request after a whole day of working.What if he had memory loss from all those sleeping pills?
Avery seemed very worked up, but Skylar simply smiled and asked, “Why are you so concerned about my mom? Are you scared that she’ll snatch your dad away from you?”
Since young, Avery had always hated Skylar to the core, and her father’s love was not something she was willing to share.
She wanted everything that Skylar had, but she never allowed Skylar to have what she had.
They used to pretend to be friends in front of others, but that façade had since worn off. Avery could not care less about Tobias, and to her, Skylar was nothing more than Tobias’ sex partner.
She was the other woman.
