Skylar chuckled, realizing that Thomas was here to demand an explanation for his daughter’s situation. Gosh, look at his hateful scowl and rude tone.

Her lips curled into a wicked grin. “I don’t know. What does Avery’s being on anti-depressants have to do with me? Actors often lose their roles to others who are far superior; that’s just the way the entertainment industry works. I lost my first ever leading role that way too. If Avery can’t take the hit, then perhaps she’s too weak-minded for the industry.”

“You should stop picking on Avery. She’s a sensitive child. I’ve always been around to take care of her, so she’s not as mentally tough as you are, nor does she think twice before jumping into things as you do. That said, I want you to look out for her since you guys are in the same group,” Thomas’ words sounded heavy. He had put on a gloomy expression, perfectly feigning the image of a benevolent father.

Skylar let out a disdainful sneer. “You think I wanted to be mentally tough? What child doesn’t want to be protected and loved by their parents as they grow up? You’ve never once taken me seriously as your daughter, apart from when you begged me to convince Tobias into taking over Quest Group. A word of advice, Mr. Jones, never forget those who have helped you in life. So is this how you treat your benefactor?”

At the mention of his past begging, Thomas became emotionally turmoiled. He snarled, “How can you expect me to thank you? Tobias cruelly took everything from me. I was a fool then, thinking that he would help me on your behalf. Well, look how that ended; I played right into his hands.”

Seeing how Thomas behaved up till this point, Skylar knew that he was definitely up to something fishy.

Regardless, Skylar didn’t know much about how businesses worked. So she opened the door and motioned for Thomas to leave. “There’s no point in telling me this because I’ve already done what I can to help. Even if you did fall for his trap, you have no one to blame but yourself. You were the one who eagerly went along with things.”
