StarNovelIt almost seemed as if the floodgates were completely opened as Winona vented all of her pent up
emotions.
Instead of finding her rants annoying, somehow, the usually violent man found her rants wholesome.
He could not believe that someone would still be willing to rant to him and it was a very heartwarming
feeling.
“I believe that you just wanted to see Lola, mom. Why are you using dad as an excuse?” Skylar teased.
Winona blushed as soon as she heard that. She replied, “Regardless… I want you to bring my beloved
granddaughter and my beautiful daughter-in-law home every week from now on.”
“Alright, I promise that I’ll bring them home whenever I’m free,” Skylar replied.
Feeling pleased, Winona nodded.

Winona sighed when Skylar asked about Nathaniel and said, “Your dad went out early in the morning
since we’d be moving soon.”
“Mom, you are not living at our old house anyway. I mean, you’d get some money after it’s demolished,
so what are you sad about anyway?” Skylar asked.
“The move is great, but the developer is a little horrible to people.”
Winona decided to tell Skylar everything that happened in that instant.
Although the old housing area Winona used to live in was a little run down, the area was valued at
thirty thousand dollars per square feet. However, the developer was only willing to compensate them
with ten thousand dollars. The difference was too much and so many people could not accept the
amount that was being compensated. This was the reason why a large scale protest was being held
then.This was exactly why Nathaniel went out earlier.
“Hey Skylar, I was told that the new developer has really powerful connections. All the previous
protestors were beaten so badly that they ended up in the hospital. Even their families were
threatened. Your dad was so adamant in going to the protest despite me telling him not to. I was
worried sick before you arrived and I really wanted to head over to the protest myself.” Winona
explained worriedly.
Upon hearing that, Skylar replied, “Mom, you won’t be of any help anyway. Just stay at home. I’ll head
over there myself. Don’t worry, no one will be able to hurt dad.”
Winona had seen just how capable of a fighter Skylar was back then and after hearing that, she
nodded and said, “Sure. Just head over there and don’t push yourself too hard. If things are bad, just
escape with your dad. I’ll make dinner, so you can bring Lola and Yulia over later tonight.”

After that, Dianne drove Skylar over to Nathaniel’s old home.
Meanwhile at Nathaniel’s old home.
A group of people could be seen holding signs and honking loudly in protest against the developer.
There was a huge line of trucks, excavators and heavy machinery parked by the road.
Suddenly, a loud roar could be heard coming from a nearby engine as a group of vans approached the
protestors. Before the vans could come to a complete stop, a group of more than a hundred
delinquents got out of the vans.
The leader had a dragon tattoo on his body while wearing a huge necklace around his neck. He looked
incredibly menacing.
When he noticed the protestors, he yelled at them, “I want all of you to scram! Do you think you’re able
to bear the cost of the project’s delay?”
