Miriam looked at the veins popping on Finn's forehead and, for a moment, she didn't know how to defend herself.
Since last night, things had been unfolding one after another, each one completely beyond her control.
All of the company's partners had stopped collaborating with them. Some were even threatening to sue them.
The police had just called her, asking her to go to the station to assist with an investigation. Everything was collapsing at once.
Now that Finn had discovered she had boy toys, Miriam felt numb. "So what if I have some boy toys? You're getting old and can't satisfy me anymore. Young men are full of energy—I like that! Don't act all high and mighty. I know you've got other women outside too."
"I have women? What women? You're the only one I've ever had!" Finn roared.
The humiliation made him snap. He had been willing to break ties with his sons just to keep this family together, but Miriam had been cheating on him with not just one man but several!
Miriam slapped Finn across the face. "Do you think I didn't know? You've been fooling around with young starlets these past few years. Did you really think you could hide it from me?
"I didn't confront you because of Ruth. No matter what we do outside, this family just needs to stay intact! And don't forget, without me, you'd still be a poor farmer in the countryside! What right do you have to yell at me?"
"You—you—you!" Finn slapped her back.
"How dare you hit me!" Miriam touched her face, tasting blood in her mouth. Finn had hit her so hard.
This man, who had relied on her to get where he was, didn't comfort her during her darkest time. Instead, he had slapped her!
How had she ever fallen for this man all those years ago?
…
During her lunch break, Skylar happened to see some news and learned about Finn and Miriam's current situation.
The two of them were now too overwhelmed with their company's mess to bother Steven and the others anymore.
In the group chat, Harvey added sarcastically, "Let's not bring them up anymore. There's no need to think about them. They're just two irrelevant strangers.
Steven replied, "Exactly."
Then, Skylar casually added, "Should we start preparing for Mom and Ted's wedding when they come back?"
"Yes, yes, the wedding!"
…
But only a few days later, the two people they had almost forgotten reappeared.
This time, however, they weren't alone—they had brought along an unfamiliar face. And instead of looking for Steven and the others, they went straight to Skylar.

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
