However, Tobias took his sweet time before finally texting Skylar back around breakfast time.

Tobias: ?

Skylar gripped tightly on a soymilk bottle with one hand and typed out a response with the other.

Skylar: Didn’t you like my Instagram photo yesterday?

Tobias: I don’t bother with social media. Sheldon was on my phone last night, so what’s the fuss about

this liked photo?

Skylar downed the soymilk. It washed down her throat like stale, powdered milk due to her foul mood.

She mentally sneered at herself, repulsed by how she had taken the whole thing so seriously. I even

took a screenshot! Ugh!

Well there goes my good mood.

Elsewhere, Tobias noticed that Skylar had ignored his message. He became lost in deep thought as he

tapped on the sides of his phone.

Curious, he opened up Skylar’s social media page and found the photo in question, a bathroom selfie.

It showed off Skylar’s porcelain skin and rosy cheeks as if she had just hopped out of a shower. His

eyes roamed on the photo and eventually landed on her plump, delectable lips.

She’s good-looking, I’ll give her that.

Sheldon had slept in till now. He came downstairs in his crinkled pajamas, and his hair looked like an

overgrown bush. Sheldon seemed disgruntled and worn-out as he kept on yawning, despite having

slept for over twelve hours.

“Good morning, Mom, Tobias. Why didn’t you guys wake me up for breakfast?” Sheldon lazily slumped

onto the chair opposite Tobias with his legs crossed.

Claudia grumbled in response, “It’s late. Must you sleep in every day? Look at how you’re indulging in

hedonism and wasting away like some bum. Do you intend to rely on your brother forever?”

At her nagging, Sheldon shoved two-thirds of toast into his mouth.

He then clamped his mouth shut and feigned a quick choke, motioning that he wasn’t keen on talking.

Claudia shook her head disapprovingly but said nothing about his antics.

Eventually, Claudia answered a phone call from her best friend and left the room. Tobias had waited for

this moment to speak up. He asked Sheldon, “Why did you use my phone last night? Who said you

could?”

Sheldon’s back straightened at once. “I was bored, so I scrolled through your stuff to pass the time.

Then I saw Skylar’s photo and liked it. By the by, that photo is all over the internet now.”

Although Sheldon kept a straight face, he was sweating buckets inside.

I can’t believe Skylar texted Tobias so quickly after I used his account to like her photo. She seems

pretty enthusiastic over something petty like a photo.

Although… if Skylar rats out about how Winnie wants me to split half the family’s assets, then it’s

certainly not a petty matter.

I’ll be skinned alive if Tobias finds out about that.

Besides, Winnie is overestimating my abilities with all that talk about splitting assets. I haven’t done

anything to deserve even a penny’s worth of Ford Group’s earnings. And even if I wanted to start my

own company, I’m just not capable enough to do so.

Sheldon could only hope that Skylar wouldn’t rat him out.

Tobias later saved Skylar’s photo onto his phone. After hesitating for some time, he set it as his

wallpaper.

Avery felt inferior now that she was working alongside Skylar. It unnerved her that Skylar had gone

through some magical transformation; Skylar was no longer the meek and poor little wretch that

begged Avery’s family for tuition fees all those years ago.

“How does it feel to play this character, knowing that you’ve stolen it from someone else?” Avery

sneered.

Skylar responded to this with a wicked grin. “It’s not too shabby. But to be fair, I was given this role.

They wouldn’t take no for an answer, so how could I refuse? Besides, weren’t you always stealing my

things when we were growing up? Now you know what it’s like to be on the receiving end.”

Avery’s face scrunched up into a hideous frown. Skylar’s smugness made her feel worse about losing

the role.

Avery couldn’t hold it in any longer. She shed all pretenses of amiability and turned violent against

Skylar. “We’ll see about that. Some things will never be yours, no matter what scheming methods you

use to obtain them. You’re just as shameless as your mother; she stole someone else’s man while

you’re stealing career opportunities from me!”

Avery’s heart simmered for the despicable mother-daughter duo. She hated how her family had been in

tatters ever since Miranda got out of prison.
