Skylar seemed to remember Avery telling her that Thomas was going to cook her favorite food, so she

scanned the food served on the table.

None of these are my favorite food. It had been years since she last shared a meal with Thomas.

She pulled out a chair and sat down next to Irene, who looked at her as if she were a thorn in her side.

When Irene caught a whiff of Skylar’s perfume, the sneer of her face was apparent. “Since when did

you start using perfume? Have your standards become higher after being with a rich man?”

Skylar raised her brows. “I’m about to film soon. I need to have a little class, don’t you think? Besides,

it’s only perfume. There’s no need to kick up a fuss about it, is there?”

Thomas cleared his throat, reminding Irene to keep her thoughts to herself as they had more pressing

matters at hand.

Now that they succeeded in getting Skylar here, they had to seize the opportunity to ask her for Tobias’

help.

“I haven’t congratulated you yet. I heard that you’re going to start filming. For a freshman, that’s very

impressive, which is more than I can say for Avery.”

Avery was extremely upset that Thomas was complimenting Skylar at the expense of her pride. In spite

of that, she had to endure it for the sake of her dream sports car.

On the other hand, Skylar was very modest. “It’s nothing. I only passed the first round of auditions.

There are still many uncertainties.”

“How are things between you and Mr. Ford? Good, I presume?” Thomas finally broached the topic.

“Fine. We’re just friends,” Skylar replied.

Hayden sneered, “Dumped so soon? Dad, I told you it was a mistake calling her over. She can’t even

help us.”

Thomas glared at Hayden, but the latter didn’t think he said anything wrong. Dad is blinded by his

desperation to save the business, so much so that he turned to Skylar for help. But what the hell can

she do to help?

Skylar smiled with amusement. “You tricked me into coming here because you need Tobias’ help? In

that case, I’ll have to disappoint you because contrary to your belief, I’m not that close to him.”

Thomas really couldn’t tell whether Skylar was speaking the truth or not.

“Skylar, I genuinely want us to be closer. We’ve been estranged for so many years. Give me a chance

to make it up to you. I owe you so much as your father, too much.”

Thomas gazed at Skylar with benevolence gleaming in his eyes. He even offered her a smile, which

was a first for her.

Even though Skylar had always craved parental love, she wasn’t moved by his words at all. Her heart

had long since been shattered and could no longer be pieced back together.

“There’s no need to make up for anything, but if you insist, then the best way is to leave me alone,” she

said nonchalantly as she remained obstinate.

Thomas knew that something like this couldn’t be rushed either. Now that she was with Tobias, he

regretted not realizing Skylar’s potential back then. Even if Tobias were only fooling around, Skylar

would undoubtedly be known among his usual crowd.

Forced to suppress her irritation and cooperate with Thomas, Irene placed her glass heavily on the

table to vent her frustration.

Skylar didn’t have an appetite even though Thomas had prepared a scrumptious meal. Hence, she

picked up her bag and prepared to leave. “Enjoy your meal. I’ve said what I wanted to say. I’ll be

leaving now.”

Seeing that Skylar was leaving already, Thomas panicked and finally blurted out, “Can you help me just

this once? I need to meet Tobias. Our company is facing a problem, and Tobias is the only one who

can solve it. If you don’t help me, I might end up getting entangled in a lawsuit. I’m still your father,

Skylar. You can’t turn your back on me.”
