Chapter 35
“Your words mean nothing to me, and I don’t care about your reasoning. I’ve checked your transaction history with the bank, and there are 2.3 million left. By the end of the day, I’d like to see them all back in my account,” Tobias replied contemptuously in a cold voice.
Unreconciled to the fact that he would lose the money just like this, Jeremy refused to back down and tried to talk Tobias out of it. “I can’t live without this money. Besides, I know you rich people don’t care about such a small amount.”
Not wanting to waste more time on this matter, Tobias told his bodyguard, Samuel, “Follow him and make sure he returns the money. If I don’t see it back in my account, he won’t get to see tomorrow.”
Before Jeremy was being taken away, he warned him, “You’re not allowed to tell Skylar about this. Your parents are still alive, right?”
Upon his question, Jeremy felt chills running down his spine.
After Jeremy was taken away, Tobias sat in the car and waited for Skylar to finish her class. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He knew that she must be very mad over what happened last night.
In the meantime, Skylar saw the text he sent and found his car.
This man changes cars faster than a woman changes her clothes. It’s clear that he isn’t a faithful man.
In order to express her displeasure, she closed the car door rudely with a loud thud.
“I still have to come back later. Why are you here?”
From the look on her face, it was very obvious that she did not want to see him.
Just then, Tobias took out the latest iPhone model that had not been unboxed from the armrest compartment.
“Change your phone. You’re too slow in replying to a message.”
Skylar casually threw the phone into her backpack and replied with a raised eyebrow, “Now that I’ve accepted it, can I go back to class?”
“Are you throwing a tantrum because I didn’t help you get back your money?” Tobias deliberately asked while holding her hand with their fingers entwined.
Skylar flashed him a bright smile. “No, surely, I wouldn’t dare. I must comply with all my employer’s demands, so of course, I need to accept the phone you give me.”
She sounded aggrieved while wearing an expression that made her look exactly like a flirtatious vixen.
Tobias turned the corners of his lips up in an imperceptible smile as he found that this woman was more interesting than he thought.
Skylar’s phone suddenly rang, so she took it out of her bag to answer it. Upon seeing that it was from Westside Prison, she froze.
“Ms. Jones? Your mother is released on medical parole, but why didn’t any of you come to pick her up?”
Skylar tightened her grip on her phone. “I didn’t know about this. When did you contact me? What happened to her? Why did she apply for medical parole?”
“Due to some mental problems. We have notified her family members to pick her up a fortnight ago. Is Wesley Watts your father?”
Skylar was stunned. “He’s my uncle!”
“I don’t know what’s going on in your family, and I don’t care. Just come and pick her up tomorrow.”
Skylar shot Tobias a helpless look. “Please send me to Uncle Wesley’s house.”
“Do you need my help?” Tobias glanced at her.
Skylar, who was still unsure about the situation, didn’t give a precise reply. “No, I think. Or maybe yes!”
Her ambiguous answer brought a smile to Tobias’ face.
After they reached Wesley’s house, Skylar was about to get off the car when Tobias turned off the car engine.
Not wanting him to follow, Skylar said awkwardly, “Can I go in by myself? Aunt Sharon doesn’t like me very much. If I bring a man back, she’ll definitely make a fuss again.”
