    Chapter 671 The Lucky Lady


    Colleen tapped Skr on the shoulder at the sight of Tobias'' approach. “I''ll see you inside. Think about


    what I''ve told you. I know your father won''t admit it, but he misses you. He told me that you are actually


    his favorite. Remember, Skr. Know who your true family is.”


    Skr did not believe a word of it. I''m sure being a principal in a high school requires lying your a*s off


    all the time too.


    As they passed, Tobias nodded pleasantly at Colleen as she was his elder.


    Colleen reciprocated the greeting as she took in everything from his features to his watch.


    She did not understand how a man like that would choose to be with Skr. His decision seemed to


    challenge her antiquated views of socialpatibility being the determining factor in the sess of a


    marriage.


    “The banquet''s starting soon. I''m going in to supervise,” she dered jovially as if the scene earlier had


    never happened. “Come in from the cold soon, both of you. We have several new chefs under our


    employ and would like your feedback on their skills.”


    “We have somest-minute matters to attend to,” Tobias said apologetically. “Maybe another time.”


    Despite Colleen''s persuasion, Tobias did not budge.


    Tobias is an important man with important obligations. Who am I to insist that he reschedule them?


    As soon as Colleen disappeared back into the venue, Skr heaved a long sigh of relief as she gazed


    up at Tobias.


    “Why didn''t you at least greet me earlier?” she demanded. “Do I embarrass you so?”


    Tobias smoothed her hair which had been disheveled by the wind. “I only dropped by to discuss


    matters with your father. Maybe I was so focused on my goal that I did not notice your presence.”


    Skr almost rolled her eyes at that. Yeah, right. I''m wearing a ck dress, not a cloak of invisibility.


    Tobias lifted her chin tenderly and kissed her on the forehead. “Let it go, all right? It''s such a trivial


    matter to remain upset about.”


    Skr remained forlorn. Tobias was tactful enough to detect Skr''s mood and rejected the invitation


    to dine so that he could take Skr away from them.


    Skr has suffered enough in the hands of the Joneses and the Watts, being taken advantage of when


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    there is a use for her and then cast aside when she is no longer needed.


    Skr followed Tobias through thebyrinth of cars that littered the yard into his Maserati.


    As soon as she sat down in the passenger seat, she detected a faint hint of perfume that smelled like


    roses that was unlike her own.


    Skr remained still as Tobias leaned over to buckle her seatbelt for her. She wore a down coat that


    kept her snugly wrapped from chin to ankles.


    As was his proclivity, Tobias slid his hand in to grope her breasts and earned himself a re.


    To her further chagrin, Skr noticed a long strand of hair on the passenger seat as the car was


    heading out the grounds of the Jones residence.


    Frowning, she picked the strand up and squinted at it under the light. It was thick and robust with a light


    brown color.


    This is definitely not mine. My hair is only half this width.


    Tobias maintained the steering wheel with one hand as he watched Skr. “Is there anything you''d like


    to ask about the strand of hair in your hand? It must have belonged to the friend I''d dropped home.”


    Skr wound down the window and let the strand fly off into the wind.


    “Who was that luckydy friend?”


    “Idania.”
