Skylar was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she nodded. “Yes, I did. I’m sure it’s clean.”

Nobody touched the cake. Winnie even covered her nose and said in an exaggerated tone, “Whipped

cream is bad for our health. It contains too much saturated fat. Mrs. Ford, it’s too greasy and sweet for

you.”

Tobias cut out a piece of the cake and put it on his plate. Otherwise, Skylar’s effort would go to waste.

Claudia refused to taste it. She claimed that she didn’t eat cake.

Finally, Tobias couldn’t help but say, “Mom, are we still going to have dinner together? I respected you

as my mom. That’s why I brought Skylar over today. But, don’t you think respect is mutual?”

Skylar remained silent. All she had to do at the moment was to stay quiet.

She was in a disadvantaged position. In that case, silence is more eloquent than words. Claudia would

probably be annoyed if she said too much.

Winnie hurriedly pretended to be kind and said, “Mrs. Ford, Skylar is a very kind person. She’s always

been down-to-earth and friendly all the time. Besides, she is ambitious when it comes to her career.

She is even cast as the female lead in a lot of popular movies and dramas recently. Many actors would

give anything to work together with Skylar. She has fascinated a lot of homebodies with her beauty.

Recently, she has been chosen as a goddess to men of all ages with the highest votes.”

Claudia looked at her indifferently and said, “Someone is enjoying the fruit of other’s labor. How could

she not be successful with the help of Tobias? The entertainment industry is frivolous. The circle itself

is messy, dirty, and complicated. Do you enjoy being popular among so many men? Is that really

something to be proud of?”

Skylar was at a loss for words throughout the dinner. However, she answered politely, “I’m very grateful

for what Tobias has done for me. I wouldn’t have come so far if it wasn’t for him. There are all kinds of

different people in every industry. Most importantly, we must remain unfazed. My grandma always

teaches me to keep my feet on the ground. Apart from career, we should also take our relationship

seriously. In the blink of an eye, I’ve been together with Tobias for almost two years. How time flies.”

Skylar reminded Claudia of how long she had been with her son.

It had been almost two years. And yet, they still had not made a clean break.

Claudia understood clearly that Tobias had fallen head over heels for this vixen. He was determined to

be with Skylar no matter what.

Skylar remained her cool and spoke calmly. She was indeed soft on the outside but tough on the

inside.

Tobias let out a sigh. “I bring Skylar over today to let her familiarize herself here. After all, we are going

to meet each other quite often in the future. Mom, please don’t put her in a difficult position. It would be

embarrassing if the outsiders found out about it.”

Reputation meant everything to Claudia. In addition, she didn’t want to be on bad terms with Tobias as

their relationship had just gotten better lately. Therefore, she had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

Skylar took a mouthful of grilled salmon and casually said, “Winnie, you’re really good at cooking. The

salmon tastes exactly the same as Breeze Bar and Grill. They always score their salmon by cutting

three shallow slashes through the skin. That is their specialty. Did you learn that from them too?”

Winnie gave Sheldon a dirty look, grumbling in her heart that he didn’t even know how to order takeout.

Tobias had brought Skylar to Breeze Bar and Grill several times. It was not too far from there. Tobias

also mentioned before that their salmon was Claudia’s favorite.

Sheldon immediately covered for Winnie, “Winnie knew that mom loves dishes from Breeze Bar and

Grill. So, she purposely visited and learned for a week. Their chef personally taught her their specialty.”

Skylar smiled, looking innocent. “Oh really? I’ll pay a visit too. I’m going to cook it for Mrs. Ford in the

future. But I’m not as smart as Winnie. She only took a week to master the skill. It tastes exactly the

same.”

Winnie clenched her fists tightly under the table. Skylar was obviously trying to humiliate her in front of

everyone.

Claudia was just taking a bite of the salmon. She gave Winnie a knowing look and spat out the salmon

on the napkin. A look of displeasure crossed her face, but she didn’t say a word.
