Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 570

Leaning on the sofa with her legs crossed, she sneered, “They really are desperate. I told them that I will

give them an answer in three days, and it has only been a day and a half since then. They just want to

put me in a difficult spot, thinking that I will waver due to my pity for Kevin. However, given what he has

done at such a young age, he doesn’t deserve my sympathy at all.”

Miranda was peeved at how Wesley’s family was threatening Skylar. After all, she knew Skylar didn’t

have that much money.

Grabbing Skylar by her arm, Miranda pulled her up from the sofa. She suggested angrily, “Let’s go and

confront them. I want to know why they are blackmailing us. All this while, they have always boasted

about how capable their daughter is. But now that they have a crisis, why aren’t they banking their hopes

on her? Instead, they chose to victimize you.”

Miranda had blown her top off. It wasn’t until she heard the doorbell, that she let Skylar go and opened

the door.

Sitting on her sofa, Skylar’s eyes widened in shock. Although Miranda had pushed the person out, she

caught a clear glimpse of who it was. He was none other than Molly’s father.

Skylar’s gaze darkened as she questioned Miranda, “What are you doing with Molly’s dad?”

Smiling awkwardly, Miranda replied, “You must have gotten it wrong. It was just the milkman. He just

informed me that he was out of strawberry-flavored milk, and he only has fresh milk left. I told him that I

don’t want any then.”

When Miranda continued to lie blatantly, Skylar suddenly remembered Molly grumbling to her that her

mom suspected her dad of having an affair.

Closing her eyes, Skylar took a deep breath as she could feel how suffocating her life had become. Not

only does my family not provide any support, but they also seem intent on holding me back and won’t be

happy until they have destroyed my reputation.

Despite Skylar’s questioning, Miranda was adamant in her denial and insisted Skylar had made a

mistake.

As of now, Skylar wasn’t sure if Molly was trying to get close to her because of her fame or if she had a

different agenda instead.

Given how Miranda had always gotten herself into trouble because of love, Skylar warned her not to

cause any trouble and reminded her to have some decency.

Irritated by Skylar’s lectures, Miranda quickly got her to leave.

Meanwhile, without prior notice, Tobias came to pick Skylar up, saying that he wanted her to return to the

Ford residence with him.

Skylar asked nervously, “Why do you need me there? I am not prepared, and the makeup on my face is

starting to cake. Can we go tomorrow instead?”

Glancing at her, Tobias replied with a smile, “You look gorgeous. If you still want to freshen up, there are

some wet towels in the car which you can use.”

Skylar was dumbfounded. Using a wet towel to wipe a face full of makeup will only make things worse.

Does he even know anything about girls?

When they arrived at the Ford residence, Skylar was still mentally unprepared. Every time she met

Claudia, she would always feel that she was put on trial.

It didn’t help that Claudia had a cold look. She would always look aloof and dignified, just like a lady of

noble birth in the olden days.

Given that Tobias had taken after Claudia, he emitted the same frosty vibe as his mom.

As it was already nightfall, Skylar wasn’t sure if they were going to have dinner or supper.

The food that greeted them looked exquisite and scrumptious, just like pieces of art. Skylar felt that it

was indeed wonderful to have a chef at home. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Meanwhile, Skylar knew it was rude to touch the cutlery before Claudia did. Seated beside Tobias, she

felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

“Ms. Jones, you seem to have been very popular recently. I keep seeing you in the news every other

day.”

Skylar forced herself to smile. “Sometimes, it’s necessary to have some publicity. As the reports are

largely baseless, I don’t pay too much attention to them.”

Tobias didn’t know what his mom was up to when she insisted on having dinner with Skylar.

He had already rejected her many times, with the excuse that Skylar was busy. But, Claudia was

adamant in wanting to see her.
