From then on, Skylar swore not to get involved in the relationship ofothers. Besides, she didn't know how Hannah's date went.

When the driver arrived, Skylar got into the MPV. From the corner ofher eye, she caught a glimpse of Charles’ flabby figure from afar as hervehicle quickly passed him by.

Despite asking the driver to turn around and check, Charles wasnowhere to be seen. However, she was sure that she wasn't seeingthings.

Ever since Charles was released from the detention center, she hadgotten someone to keep an eye on him. Her objective was to replace outwho paid him off to ambush her during a public event, humiliating herin the process.

Sensing that Charles wasn’t done with her, she had requested forJames’ help to keep a tab on Charles’ movements.

Despite feeling unsettled, she wasn't willing to get Tobias involved. inthe event he did, Charles would likely disappear forever.

Tobias’ methods were too cruel for Skylar too accept.

Before she entered her house, Kate had sent her a screenshot fromTwitter.

Her message read: Congratulations, your name is trending again. I waswondering how many poor relatives you actually have. Now, it seemsyour cousin is coming to claim his share by accusing you of beingheartless.

When Skylar enlarged the picture Kate had sent, she almost burst avessel.

“F*ck...” Skylar cursed as she was filled with anger.

Given that her name was now trending, all the details about her familywere being exposed to the public.

The incident undoubtedly dealt a blow to Skylar's reputation.

Kevin wrote:

Dear all, firstly I would like to apologize for taking up your time. I'mSkylar's cousin, Kevin Watts. I am currently a burden to my familybecause I suffer from Thalassemia. My family has spent a few million totreat my disease and has never forsaken me. Just when I had lost allhope, I was given a lifeline when a bone marrow match was found.However, much of my family’s savings have been wiped out by mymedical bills...

Before Skylar finished reading, she saw her own hands trembling.

Did Kevin write this? She couldn't believe how despicable he hadbecome.

Although Kevin didn't mention anything about her refusing to help,tagging her Twitter handle caused thousands of her fans to see thepost.

Despite not bringing it up, the fact that he was raising money in publicwas a slap in the face for her. What was even more humiliating was thatattached to his post, there was another picture of her was taken fromthe airport.

In it, she was holding a Hermés bag that cost three hundred thousand,which was a gift from Tobias.

Skylar tried hard to contain her anger. By the time she arrived atMiranda's place, her Twitter account had been bombarded by fancomments.

Jean is My Girlfriend: Your cousin is asking for your help to get treatedGiven that you can afford a Hermés bag, why aren't you able to helphim?

Crazy Louis: Your cousin didn't leave a donation link because he wantsto preserve the last of your dignity.

Cracker: No wonder people say that it's better to depend on yourneighbors than your distant relatives in times of emergency.

Skylar's Bunny: Skylar isn’t wrong. After all, he isn't her own brother,and she too is having a tough time.

Squinting her eyes, Skylar read through the heated comments onTwitter. There was even one guy who started a poll on whether she wasobliged to help Kevin pay for his medical bills.

The result was: Yes: 80%; No: 15%; On the fence: 5%.

Knitting her eyebrows, Miranda was disappointed in her brother'sfamily. She snapped, “How can they do this? Since when was Kevin sick?Their greed for your wealth has caused them to sink to such depths.”Skylar sighed as her family never failed to surprise her.
