With that said, she sipped the tea and took out her phone to hand it to Tobias.

Skylar’s name was trending. Ever since the public found out she was going to be one of the main

characters of Empyrean Sword, there had been an uproar on the internet.

In fact, the netizens began digging for information as they tried to find an explanation for why she could

get such a great show at a young age. Most of them were talking about how she must have had a

relationship with Maverick Sullivan.

They were saying that Maverick was her sugar daddy.

Curling his lips, Tobias commented, “They’ve got quite the imagination. Maverick’s already six feet

under, but somehow, he’s still someone’s sugar daddy.”

Tobias rarely bothered himself with news of the entertainment industry, and Maverick’s death had not

been anything major.

That was why Skylar paled and asked, “Did you have anything to do with Maverick’s death?”

He did not disagree with her as he smiled. In a nonchalant tone, he replied, “Of course he had to die,

but don’t feel guilty about it. I just don’t like the sight of him.”

Skylar could not find the words to describe what she was feeling. She could only grit out, “He was

wrong to molest me when he was drunk, but that doesn’t mean he deserves to die. Tobias, how could

you be cruel?”

The smile was still on Tobias’ face as he replied, “Cruel? This isn’t cruel. I’m just cleaning up trash.

Moreover, this has nothing to do with you. Don’t get yourself all sensitive and think that Maverick died

because of you.”

Skylar’s brows drew together. “He laid a hand on me when he was drunk previously, but you’re telling

me his death has nothing to do with that? He doesn’t deserve death for that.”

Tobias only sighed. “So you’ll just let your bullies off the hook? He hired someone to stalk you. He

found out about our relationship and tried to blackmail me. Truthfully, I don’t mind it. After all, the

exposure of this relationship won’t affect me, and reputation matters not to me. However, I hate others

threatening me. I hope you understand what I mean.”

Tobias felt that he was already patient in his explanation. Whether or not Skylar would overthink the

matter was none of his business.

After hearing him, Skylar nearly shrieked. Maverick’s insane. He really was pushing his luck by

threatening Tobias.

Before the man left, he reminded, “Be smarter when I’m not with you. Tell me right away when you

receive those messages and stay away from Harry. I’m starting to get sick of repeating myself. Ingrid is

a tough woman, so it’s best to keep a distance from her man. I actually came to tell you about this, but I

don’t know why we ended up talking about Maverick.”

Skylar shrugged, about to leave after taking her bag. She, too, was worried that disaster would come if

she could not explain her relationship with Harry.

Skylar forced herself not to think about Maverick, for Tobias had told her that Maverick’s death had

nothing to do with her. However, she could not help but wonder, If not for me, how would Maverick ever

encounter Tobias.

Deep down inside, she was afraid that she would end up in hell.

Before Tobias’ words, she never thought that Tobias had anything to do with the matter; she always

thought Kai had been the one to do it.

Tobias was right. It was time for her to be smarter. She then messaged her assistant, Hannah, asking

her to buy some supplements that helped with boosting brainpower.

After her afternoon tea, she returned to the office. Tobias had not chosen to return with her, and Skylar

knew why—he wanted to avoid the public from finding out about their relationship.

In their relationship, Tobias was the one who wanted to conceal the other party.

Just as she stepped foot into the office, she spotted Winnie and Sheldon in the lobby. Recently, the two

of them had been going everywhere together. Knowing that Winnie was in a relationship with Sheldon,

the staff in the office were careful around her.
