Chapter 592 Waiting To Devour Her
All Skylar wanted was to finish the shoot as soon as possible. To her, that particular movie had achieved
its fullest potential and it could no longer bring her greater value. In fact, she felt that her popularity was
being taken advantage of. If Kate keeps doing this, I will have to come up with something.
She continued to demonstrate a steady performance for the subsequent scenes. She had a superbly
strong foundation in communicating her acting lines clearly. Even the boom operator enjoyed listening to
her.
Had it not been for Ingrid’s terrible acting, the director would not have wasted the entire afternoon on just
a few simple scenes.
Hannah had Skylar’s phone with her and it kept on ringing. During break, she handed the phone to
Skylar. “Mr. Ford has been looking for you. He’s made more than ten calls.”
Skylar was shocked. Did Tobias get the wrong number? Usually, he’ll only make one more call if he
couldn’t get me the first time. He’s never made a series of calls.
Worried that something might have happened, she called back.
When the line was connected, Tobias grumbled, “Why didn’t you answer my calls?”
Skylar explained, “I was filming and the phone was with Hannah. I just noticed your missed calls. What’s
wrong? Is there something urgent?”
Tobias requested for her to make a trip to the Central Hospital, where Thomas was hospitalized.
Stunned, many questions crossed her mind. Why is he at the hospital? How did Tobias find out about
this? Did the Joneses contact Tobias?
Reluctantly, Skylar went. She once swore that she would never shed a tear even if Thomas died.
Therefore, she was rather calm upon hearing the news.
She was sick and tired of her father. In fact, she felt disgusted when people told her blood was thicker
than water.
When she arrived at the hospital, she saw many of the Joneses at the hallway, including the
grandparents whom she had hardly ever met.
As soon as Tobias saw her, he hugged her tightly. “He’s still in the emergency. I’m not sure if you’d want
to be here, but it’s only right that I inform you about this.”
Leaning in his arms, she asked, “What happened? Why was he taken into the emergency room?” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Before Tobias could answer her, Irene spotted Skylar in the midst of the relatives, and she ran to her like
a madwoman. She yelled hysterically, “I’m telling you now. I won’t forgive you if anything happens to him.
It’s all your fault! You’re a jinx.”
It was never Tobias’ wish for Skylar to go through an awful family feud. However, he had no choice but to
inform Skylar when he learned that Thomas might not survive this episode. He did not want Skylar to live
with regrets although he was not exactly sure if both the father and daughter had a good relationship with
each other.
Blocking in front of Skylar, Tobias uttered sternly, “Now it’s not the right time to be talking about this.
What rights do you have to say these to Skylar? I dare you to lay a finger on her.”
Hayden approached them and held Irene while staring daggers at Skylar.
Suddenly, Skylar became the main target of accusations and criticisms amongst the Joneses. Yet, she
had not the slightest clue what was going on.
She was completely baffled at the condemnations received. What gives? Why am I responsible for
whatever that’s happened to Thomas?
When the crowd retreated, Tobias enlightened her, “After your father admitted to committing adultery as
well as abandoning his wife and child, the paparazzi have been invading into his privacy to discover
more juicy news. Bearing a bad name, he suffered from tremendous psychological pressure and drank
pesticide to end his life. They’re trying to rescue him now.”
Pursing her lips, she fell silent. She had never expected Thomas to be so feeble and ending up
committing suicide.
It was a rare occasion for Skylar to meet all of the Jones family. However, they sharp, unfriendly gazes
were fixated on her, as if they were ready to devour her.
