Tobias glanced at Avery from the corner of his eye and plainly remarked, “Your sister claimed that you
went on a date and gave her the clothes. Furthermore, you asked her to come and accompany me. Is
that what happened?”
Avery pleaded with Skylar with her eyes, hoping that she would help confirm the lie.
Skylar shrugged her shoulders. “I didn’t say anything. Besides, I’m not a pimp. Why would I arrange
ladies for you?”
Avery’s expression changed drastically. If looks could kill, Skylar would probably be dead.
Avery sobbed, “Skylar, how can you do this to me? You’re denying everything you’ve said to me?”
Skylar watched as Avery continued with her act. Even her fake cries sounded more coquettish than
sad.
In front of everyone, Tobias put his hands around Skylar’s waist and moved his lips close to her ear.
“Go ahead and tell the truth. There’s no need to hold back in front of me.”
Skylar shook her head. “I don’t know what happened. I put the box on the table and when I returned, it
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas gone.”
Avery’s face turned pale as Skylar didn’t even help her one bit. To her, it was the ultimate betrayal.
She swore that she would never leave Skylar in peace till the day she died.
Tobias stared at the ashen-faced Avery. “Ms. Jones, stealing is not right.”
Biting her lip, Avery replied meekly, “I didn’t steal it. It’s all just a misunderstanding. I’ll pay for the
clothes.”
Tobias turned to Skylar and asked, “How do you think I should handle this?”
The animosity between Skylar and Avery had reached the point of no return.
Skylar clearly remembered how over the years, Avery would cause trouble for her at every turn.
As they stared into each other eyes, she could see how pitiful Avery looked.
“Let her go.” Even Skylar didn’t expect herself to say those words.
When the time came for her to be firm, she wavered.
She was clear that if something happened to Avery, Thomas would never forgive her.
It was also impossible for Tobias to protect her forever. When things went back to the way they were,
she would become a nobody.
She knew she shouldn’t go too far as now wasn’t the time for revenge.
As if she had received a pardon, Avery thought that she had escaped what would be Hell of Earth,
given how ruthless Tobias was.
She prepared to head to the washroom to get changed.
Tobias called out to her in a deep voice. “You really look good in it. Since you like it so much, you
should wear it back to your dorm and let everyone admire how pretty you are.”
Sheldon gave Avery a sympathetic look. “Just go. If you wait any longer, you might not even get to
keep what you’re wearing.”
As Avery emerged at the hotel entrance in her sexy lingerie, it attracted a lot of onlookers.
In fact, a lot of them were teasing her with wolf whistles. Some even brought out their phones to take
pictures.
Meanwhile, only Skylar and Tobias were left in the room.
When Skylar looked at the time, she knew she was locked out of the dorm again for the night.
“Why are you so easily bullied? I gave you the dagger to stab your enemy but you couldn’t even keep it
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmin your hand.” Tobias gave her a pensive look.
From how she treated Avery, Tobias could see that deep down, she was really weak.
From a rational point of view, Skylar and he were not really compatible. Hence, their relationship
wouldn’t last long.
If he were really going to be with Skylar, she would need to strengthen her mental fortitude as she
would have to face innumerable problems.
“You don’t understand. Sometimes, I really don’t have a choice.” Skylar shuddered in the face of
Tobias’ mockery.
Tobias didn’t look surprised as he put a hand in his pocket. “If I were you, I would definitely not let her
go. She has been forcing you into submission for so many years. Why don’t you vent your frustrations
for once? You have to seize the opportunity when it comes.”
Skylar frowned with a solemn expression. “Of course I would want to vent if I had the power to do so.
But now, I’m finding it hard to even make ends meet, let alone seeking revenge. I can’t just rely on you
forever.”
