Chapter 618 Charming All The Men

Sharon had been looking forward to the redevelopment of the area. Every year, she would try to ask around to see

if any developers had taken an interest in their area.

Time and again, her hopes were dashed, as most of the developers could not afford the massive investment

needed to redevelop that area.

However, the most recent offer had great potential as Ford Group was involved. Tobias had the financial means and

also the savvy business mind to make things work.

“Once that house is demolished, all my fond memories will be lost too. Whenever I feel down, I always go back to

the house, and memories of the happy times I had there will cheer me up. In the future, I will not have warm

recollections of the place. All that is left will be a pile of cold steel and concrete,” Skylar mumbled softly.

Laurel couldn’t judge what would be best for Skylar, but she could empathize with her emotional attachment to the

old house. Some people treasured their old stuff because of the fond memories associated with them. She knew

many people would keep their old phones even after getting a new one, and they could not bear to delete all the

old photos and data in the old phone.

“Which neighborhood is up for redevelopment? I am a local here, but I have not heard of any news of potential

redevelopment projects around this area!” Laurel curiously asked.

Just then, Ingrid appeared and threw a paper bag at Skylar. She haughtily held her head high, not looking Skylar in

her eyes, and begrudgingly said, “Take it! It is from Marcus.”

Skylar opened the bag and found a tube of ointment for bruises. She examined the bruises on her wrist, and they

were still fairly visible.

She did not expect Marcus to notice those bruises and make Ingrid bring her the ointment. She was positive even

Tobias had not noticed her injury.

She handed the bag back to Ingrid and said, “Please thank Marcus for me. I am fine, and the bruises will go away

after a couple of days. I appreciate his kindness but I have no use for this ointment.”

Ingrid looked her up and down and snorted at her. “Anyway, I have done my part and brought it to you as Marcus

had instructed. I don’t care what you do with it!”

Skylar did not want the ointment, so she handed the bag to Laurel and told her to do as she deemed fit.

Ingrid sent Marcus a text message. ”Stop trying to suck up to her. Your effort is not appreciated.”

Marcus: “All you need to do is to deliver it to her.”

Ingrid was never a nosy person, but she felt that by paying too much attention to Skylar, Marcus would give other

people an impression that he was out to fight with Tobias over a woman.

Moreover, she could not bear the sight of all the male filming crew gushing over Skylar’s look, looking up to her as a

goddess.

She thought Skylar had the look of a vixen and was out to seduce men with her alluring gaze. Besides, she was

certain that Skylar’s intentions were never good. She counted herself lucky that she discovered Skylar’s plot to

seduce her man and managed to nip it in the bud before things went wrong.

Harry was still openly infatuated with Skylar and could not get his eyes off her.

If Tobias was not backing Skylar, Ingrid would have taught her a lesson and made her stop seducing Harry.

After she finished her filming, Skylar turned on her phone and was greeted by a video call from Miranda. Miranda

asked her to attend a family gathering. It was for a discussion on how to split the potential compensation from the

redevelopment of the house.

Skylar was tired after a long day of shooting and had wanted to blank out the issue of the house and not think about

it. Unfortunately, Miranda was not about to let her have her way.

“Will Tobias be joining us tonight?” Miranda asked.

“He is busy.” Skylar brushed her off impatiently.

Miranda shared that Wesley offered to host the dinner for the get-together, which was a big deal for a stingy man

like him.

He wanted to show his appreciation for the help given to Kevin when he lost all the money. Skylar was skeptical and

doubted Wesley and his family would be thankful and appreciative. She was sure they had other motives.

Many of the extended family turned up for the gathering. It had been a long while since the whole family got

together, and the kids were having fun fighting and playing with one another.

They invited many to the gathering, but Sharon only prepared a measly number of simple dishes. She split the food

into small plates to fill the table.

“It is a good thing that the house is going to be redeveloped. Wesley, you can finally move to a better place. This

house is too old and rundown.”

“Where do you plan to move to after this place is torn down? The three replacement units should be worth at least

ten million, and with that money, you can get a villa in the suburb!”

“You are blessed with so many pieces of happy news this year! I heard the replacement units from Ford Group are

very good and spacious, unlike those from other developers.”

Skylar quietly sat by the side and listened as the rest of the family talked about the redevelopment. She munched

on a piece of pickled carrot as she looked around the room. Sharon was in the seat Meredith used to occupy.
