He knew how to tease and navigate all her sensitive spots.

Compared to how experienced Tobias was, Skylar was a novice and didn’t stand a chance against him.

Realizing Tobias was still asleep, Skylar wanted to sneak out before he woke up. Just when she was

about to leave, she noticed a box of medication next to the bed.

When she saw it was Estazolam, she checked the prescription out of curiosity. It was used for treating

insomnia and weakened mental conditions.

In fact, Skylar wondered if Tobias prepared it for her so that it would make it easier for him. After all, he

was capable of anything.

When she walked out of the elevator into the lobby, Skylar saw Thomas. Both father and daughter

exchanged glances.

“I have been waiting for you the whole night.” Thomas’ tone was filled with frustration.

“Why are you waiting for me?” Skylar sat down opposite Thomas, who had a gloomy look on his face.

All this while, she was the one who had to wait for him and would be scolded in the end.

Skylar still remembered the time when Meredith, her grandma, told her to ask Thomas for money. She

needed it for her school fees. Thomas threw two hundred on the ground then.

“Last night, Avery came home crying. She said that you bullied her and tore off all her clothing. Skylar,

how can you be so cruel? Just because you have Tobias watching your back, do you think you can do

anything you please? Including hurting your own family?”

Skylar laughed wryly at Thomas’ response. Avery really is Dad’s favorite. She will always run crying to

Dad at the first sign of trouble.

Skylar didn’t feel she did anything wrong last night. Whatever happened was all Avery’s own doing.

Skylar was disgusted by the pained look Thomas had when he described how Avery was mistreated.

She smirked. “Is that why you have waited the whole night? Just so that you can accuse me of this?

Family? Since when did you become my family?”

Tobias scolded, “You have to apologize to your sister as she has never been humiliated to his extent.

Don’t think just because you have Tobias behind you, you can act with impunity. Why don’t you ask

yourself if he can watch over you forever?”

Thomas had the same expression as Avery when he said the same words as she did.

Skylar snorted. They’re father and daughter after all. After spending so much time together, she really

takes after him.

When she heard that he wanted her to apologize, Skylar’s expression darkened. She refused, “No

matter what I do, you always feel that it’s my fault. Avery has done so many things to me over the

years. Since when did you ever ask her to apologize to me?”

Thomas leaned against the sofa and raised his eyebrows in disbelief. “Unlike you, Avery is kind. Don’t

go spouting nonsense like that. She grew up by my side and I know my own daughter very well.”

At that moment, Skylar wanted to change her surname so that she could have a clean break from

Thomas.

Look at this. A kind father praising his favorite daughter in front of the daughter he abandoned.

Deep in her heart, she realized she was still pathetically yearning for her father’s love and concern.

All this while, she never cried from Tobias’ pressure and the slander of others.

But now, she could feel the burn in her eyes. Feeling her tears were going to fall, she took a forceful

breath to suck it in.

Suddenly, she caught the faint scent of white sandalwood and found it to be inexplicably calming.

When Tobias approached them, he held onto Skylar’s clenched fist. All the pent-up emotions within her

were suddenly relieved.

The next moment, he stroked her chin lightly as he looked at her reddened eyes. “What’s the big deal?

Why are you going to cry again?”

When Thomas saw Tobias had joined them, he adjusted his posture straight and stood up. “Hello, Mr.

Ford. I’m chatting with my daughter about some family matters.”

Thomas could only seethe inwardly at Tobias and vent his frustrations on Skylar.
