The last time Claudia was hospitalized, she was warded into the ICU as her condition was extremely

serious. Luckily, they managed to get a foreign specialist to treat her.

The doctor had constantly reminded them that she could not undergo any stress. And that became

Tobias’ weakness which Tanya seized upon.

“Ms. Jones, I’m sure you can see how I’m unable to pleasure Tobias in my current condition. Hence,

you’re just my replacement for the time being. But, you will soon end up just like me,” Tanya sobbed.

She had inadvertently become the “wife” that everyone sympathized with. Her “husband” cheated on

her while she was pregnant despite the fact that Tobias and her were not actually married.

“Enough, do you have no shame?” Tobias pulled Skylar closer to him and he could feel that her body

was slightly trembling.

Many onlookers had surrounded them and watched the commotion.

Skylar felt the full brunt of their condescending gazes and mockery. Anyone who had a sense of justice

would naturally sympathize with the pregnant Tanya.

Tobias vented his frustrations on the bodyguards who were also watching from behind. “Send my mom

and Ms. Hanson home.”

Tobias wanted to take Skylar away as she didn’t deserve to go through this.

He was stumped by such humiliation. In the business world, he was ruthless and decisive in whatever

he did. In fact, he would do whatever it takes to achieve his gains.

However, resolving this problem was just like walking through a minefield. He had to be careful not to

ignite any one of them for fear that his mother’s condition would deteriorate.

He neither had the luxury to be gentle nor harsh. Tanya was staying with his mother on the account that

she saved her life.

To the extent that he suspected someone had actually caused his mother to fall unconscious on the

streets.

Therefore, he was already investigating the matter.

Not daring to disobey Tobias, the bodyguard suggested to Claudia, “Ma’am, let’s go home.”

Claudia gave the bodyguard a side-eye and proposed, “It’s getting late. I’m sure Ms. Jones hasn’t had

dinner yet. Since we’re all here, I want to have a meal with my son. Ms. Jones, why don’t you join us?”

Skylar looked at Tobias as the decision was his to make. She was aware it wasn’t really a dinner

invitation, but a trap instead. She would be made to suffer.

However, despite how terrible it felt, she knew she had to face it sooner or later. There was no way to

avoid it.

Skylar accepted Claudia’s invitation as she wasn’t willing to put Tobias in a difficult position. Although

he didn’t seem to be troubled at all.

They arrived at a French restaurant with beautiful surroundings and exquisite decor. Claudia was a

regular here. Every time she visited, she would dine in a private room reserved only for her because

she did not like to be disturbed. When she wasn’t around, the room would not be used for other guests.

Faced with Tanya’s jealous gaze, Tobias sat beside Skylar. She wasn’t in control of today’s situation at

all.

Just a month ago, Tanya had assumed Skylar was just one of the many flings Tobias had. She didn’t

expect them to still be together and that they had spent so much time with each other.

After Claudia ordered her usual from the waiter, she took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. “Tobias’

tastes are similar to mine. He prefers his food to be lightly seasoned. Ms. Jones, do you like French

food?”

Skylar nodded. “I’m alright with it.”

When Skylar saw how well Claudia maintained her composure, it felt like the calm before the storm to

her.

“Just alright? It seems you have no taste in food, just like your taste in men. Despite knowing Tobias

has a family, you still insist on interfering.”

It was just as Skylar had expected. She replied, “There’s no way I can explain myself. But I know I have

not hurt anyone.”
