Chapter 183: Chapter 183

This time, she used all her strength, but at that moment, Paige Sterling just happened to turn sideways, and Angus Langdon appeared out of nowhere, walking towards Paige.

As a result, Mona Wright collided directly with Angus, knocking him into the swimming pool.

Not only that, she couldn’t stop her momentum and rolled in as well.

At this moment, there was no one by the pool, and neither Angus nor Mona could swim; they were flailing helplessly in the water.

Angus splashed a few times, and he was already sinking.

As he struggled in despair, someone suddenly grabbed him and lifted him up.

His mind was blurry, and he couldn’t see who had pulled him up.

Soon, someone was pressing on his chest, he spat out a mouthful of water and woke up, seeing Skylar Hughes anxiously performing the rescue measures, and upon seeing him regain consciousness, Skylar breathed a sigh of relief.

Angus gasped for air, "Miss Hughes, thank you for saving me."

Skylar was taken aback, not responding directly, "It’s good that you’re okay."

Angus looked around but found that Paige, who had been standing by the pool, was nowhere to be seen.

Angus asked Skylar, "Where’s Paige?"

Skylar said, "She left."

When she came over earlier, she saw Paige was all wet, so she probably went to change clothes.

Angus gritted his teeth, "She just left us in the pool, leaving us to die!?"

Everyone online was saying how vicious Skylar was, but he didn’t see Skylar being vicious, only Paige’s cruelty.

To just leave two drowning people like that.

Skylar tried to explain for Paige, "Don’t think of Paige that way; maybe she went to find help for you."

Angus sneered, everyone was praising Paige, do these people know what Paige was like in private?

He really wanted to open up those people’s minds to see if they had been implanted with Paige’s beguiling chips.

Because of this incident, Angus thought even more highly of Skylar.

That noon, Skylar went out, and by the afternoon, the sky was suddenly overcast, and soon there was a thunderstorm, a heavy rain that came without warning.

Skylar was unprepared and had to stand under a bus stop sign to take shelter from the rain.

Without the Sterling Family’s on-call private car, she now had to rely on taxis.

But with such heavy rain, she couldn’t even get a taxi.

Skylar looked quite displeased, and the thought of having to face her stepmother and half-siblings when she got home made her day even worse. She could have had a better life but had been harmed by Paige into this.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside her, the person holding an umbrella and saying, "Come on, I’ll drive you back."

Skylar looked up and realized it was Angus.

She smiled, "Thank you, Young Master Langdon."

Skylar got into Angus’s car,

Angus asked Skylar, "Where do you live?"

Skylar told him the place.

Skylar mentioned the old city area of Jarrow, representing grime and disorder, a place Angus never went to.

He had never even heard of the specific address Skylar mentioned, and it took Skylar guiding for him to finally reach the destination.

The road was pitted and bumpy, making Angus’s face look a bit unpleasant.

Skylar said, "The car can’t go any further, Young Master Langdon, just drop me off here."

Angus stopped the car, as a pampered young master of the Langdon Family, he couldn’t believe Skylar was now living in such a place.

"You’ve been living here all this time?"

Skylar smiled, "Yeah, I’m living with my biological father now, there are a few siblings at home, my stepmother she..."

Skylar slightly lowered her head, "She’s quite nice to me too." Official source ıs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥

Angus’s hand hit the steering wheel, "The Sterling Family is too much, knowing what kind of life you have leave the house, and still threw you out?"

Skylar quickly said, "Young Master Langdon, don’t say that, the Sterling Family has been good enough to me, it’s my own fault...my presence upset Paige, Daddy he..."

While speaking, her eyes already turned red, "After all, Paige is the Sterling Family’s biological daughter, it’s nothing for me to suffer some grievances."

"But you’ve been in the Sterling Family for so many years, you’ve done a lot for VastReach, too, and yet they kicked you out, and that Paige really can’t tolerate anyone!"

Skylar looked grateful, "Everyone else says I can’t let go of the Sterling Family’s luxury, but only you understand me, Young Master Langdon, I’m really not like that, after living together for so many years, I’ve already regarded the Sterling Family as my own family, and Uncle Sterling as my real father, Paige is my biological sister, but I didn’t expect that while I treated them as family, they never treated me as family, which I suppose shows how much of a failure I am as a person..."

Skylar wiped away her tears, "Now no one believes me, they think I was kicked out of the Sterling Family for being selfish and malicious, and I can’t explain myself..."

Seeing such a vulnerable yet strong Skylar, Angus felt a bit compassionate, "I believe you."

Skylar looked moved, Angus said, "I’ll walk you in."

When Angus saw where Skylar lived, he was even more shocked.

Such a small and dilapidated house, how did Skylar manage to live there?

Skylar seemed unaware of the shock in Angus’s eyes and thanked him.

"Young Master Langdon, thank you for bringing me back."

Angus regained his composure and said, "I should be the one thanking you, if it weren’t for you that day, I would’ve drowned."

Skylar only gave a modest smile, "Anyone else would have done the same."

Contrasted with Paige’s indifference, Angus found Skylar all the more precious.

After Angus left, Skylar entered the house, and her half-sister, not much younger than her, immediately grabbed her, eyes gleaming green, and asked, "Skylar, who was that guy? He’s so handsome and seems rich, why didn’t you invite him in for us to meet him?"

Skylar shook off her sister’s hand, "None of your business? You don’t belong to the same world, I advise you to behave and not covet what doesn’t belong to you."

Her stepmother and sister’s faces immediately turned ugly.

"Skylar, what do you mean by that? Do you still think you’re the Sterling Family’s young lady? You’ve been kicked out already, if it weren’t for us taking you in, you’d be living on the streets, so what right do you have to be arrogant?"

Skylar snorted, "Even though I’ve temporarily left the Sterling Family, I’ll eventually return, the life I’ve lived for years is worlds apart from yours, the people I know are also worlds apart, that guy just now is merely one of the men pursuing me. No matter how down I am, I have it better than you, easily marrying into wealth, you’d better be polite to me and not provoke me..."
