It 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.âI believe that you just wanted to see Lola, mom. Why are you using dad as an excuse?â Skylar teased.Winona blushed as soon as she heard that. She replied, âRegardless⦠I want you to bring my beloved granddaughter and my beautiful daughter-in-law home every week from now on.ââAlright, I promise that Iâll bring them home whenever Iâm free,â Skylar replied.Feeling pleased, Winona nodded.âIs dad home? Why isnât he here?â Skylar asked.Winona sighed when Skylar asked about Nathaniel and said, âYour dad went out early in the morning since weâd be moving soon.ââMom, you are not living at our old house anyway. I mean, youâd get some money after itâs demolished, so what are you sad about anyway?â Skylar asked.âThe move is great, but the developer is a little horrible to people.âWinona 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. âHey 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.â
Winona explained worriedly.Upon hearing that, Skylar replied, âMom, you wonât be of any help anyway.
Just stay at home. Iâll head over there myself. Donât worry, no one will be able to hurt dad.âWinona had seen just how capable of a fighter Skylar was back then and after hearing that, she nodded and said, âSure. Just head over there and donât push yourself too hard. If things are bad, just escape with your dad. Iâll make dinner, so you can bring Lola and Yulia over later tonight.ââSure, mom.â Skylar got into his jeep after bidding Winona farewell.After that, Dianne drove Skylar over to Nathanielâs old home.Meanwhile at Nathanielâs 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, âI want all of you to scram! Do you think youâre able to bear the cost of the projectâs delay?â
