Meanwhile, at the Brennan Manor, Sofia sat on the couch scrolling through the trending topics on Twitter and couldn’t help but frown and glance at Garrick, who was reading the news. “Gary…”
“Yes?” Garrick looked up and glanced at her. “What’s wrong?” “Do you think Skyler is back since Matthew has returned?”
Three months ago, Skyler and Shirley suddenly disappeared, and no matter what Sofia did, she couldn’t find them. It was as if they had disappeared off the face of the Earth.
However, Sofia knew Skyler was still alive. Because of that, she knew Shirley was safe and sound too. Nonetheless, she was alarmed when they both disappeared together..
She feared the worst and assumed they had eloped to be together, but she didn’t want to admit defeat to such an ending. Garrick lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before nodding lightly. “That’s possible.”
Then, he went into his analysis, “Skyler, Caleb, Miguel, and Matthew are best buddies. Since Matthew has returned, Skyler will definitely hear about it and return as well. Also, Skyler could be the one behind Matthew’s fake death. So, he should be with Matthew.”
Safia could no longer stay seated after hearing that and jerked to her feet. “I have to find him.” She had gone three months without any news of him. It was a miracle she held on for so long. Now, she needed to find Skyler as soon as possible and find out if he was in a relationship with Shirley.
“Wait.” Garrick stopped her as she picked up her purse and left the living room. “Have you ever thought about what you’re going to do if Skyler is in a relationship with Shirley? Are you going to just hit her like last time?”
He mused, “You should know that Skyler hates vexatious women the most.” Garrick kindly reminded Sofia as he was her brother, especially since he feared that she would repeat her mistakes.
Sofia froze mid-action. She recalled how Skyler despised her and ignored her for a long time after she hit Shirley and started panicking.
She stood rooted to the floor for a few seconds before turning back toward Garrick in frustration as she couldn’t think of a flawless way to handle the situation. So, she threw her purse aside and snorted with her arms across her chest, “Shirley, that minx. I don’t even know what she gave Skyler for him to be so enamored by her.”
Sofia was jealous of Shirley because Skyler liked Shirley more regardless of her background, education, appearance, and competence, which were far below her.
“There is no such thing as Prince Charming falling in love with Cinderella in the real world. This is ridiculous!” Sofia thought this was all nonsense. She believed that love was built on equal standing of family background or gains.
“I think Skyler has truly fallen for Shirley.” Garrick picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of his coffee, He narrowed his eyes as he fell deep in thought. “Grandpa wants you to be with Skyler. If he’s not going to change his mind. I think… you can resort to special means.”
“Special means?” Sofia furrowed her brow with displeasure and bitterness. She didn’t want to lose to Shirley.
“Why? You don’t want to?” Garrick questioned her. Sofia didn’t reply to that. But her silence was an answer in itself. “You have two choices. You can either let go of Skyler or…”
“No. I want to!” Sofia hesitated for a second before agreeing swiftly. Suddenly, she sat up ramrod straight. “Why should I lose to Shirley? Skyler is supposed to be mine. It was that b*tch who seduced him away from me.”
