    Chapter 685 Not Negotiable


    Skr still felt conflicted when she saw Charles again. This time, at least the man looked slightly more


    presentable, even though the suit he was wearing did not fit him well.


    She then turned around to look at Tobias, who looked stunningly suave in his suit.

    Skr let out a sigh. Why did God bless him with such great looks? It''s so unfair to the other men.


    Charles had to behave himself as he knew Tobias was watching him closely. He knew he had toy low


    and not cross Tobias.


    “What do you think of the marriage?” Tobias asked in a deep voice.


    To this day, Charles still could not believe he would be marrying a gorgeous woman from a wealthy


    family.


    What a stroke of unexpected luck!


    But at the same time, he was afraid that this might be a trap. He hesitated and replied, “I don''t think


    we''re a good match. I mean, who am I to marry someone like Avery? Would you like to reconsider the


    marriage?”


    Skr, who was observing Charles, realized the man was actually quite sharp-witted.


    Tobias looked at Charles and said in a solemn voice, “I''ll give you two options. You decide.”


    Upon hearing that, Charles went deep in thought. Rumors have it that Tobias is cold-hearted, but


    somehow, I feel he''s a reasonable man.


    He''s even open to negotiation. That''s not too bad, isn''t it?


    Meanwhile, Skr, who was enjoying some desserts sitting beside Tobias, caught Charles'' attention.


    If Charles was being honest, he preferred Skr to Avery, as the former had more delicate facial


    features and a fairerplexion.


    Upon noticing Charles gazing at Skr, Tobias shot daggers at the pudgy man. That stare nearly gave


    Charles a heart attack, and he immediately looked away.


    “Here are your two options—either you die or marry Avery Jones.”


    Charles was beyond horrified when Tobias uttered those words in a calm voice.


    The color drained out of his face, and he tried to regain hisposure by swallowing the saliva lodged


    in his throat.


    “An influential figure like you shouldn''t do something like this. We''re living in awful society, and you


    shouldn''t coerce a woman into a marriage she didn''t want...”


    Skr tightened her grip on the cup. How unusual for a hooligan to talk aboutw. He must be terrified


    of Tobias.


    A corner of Tobias'' mouth quirked up. “You''re just a lowly person. Who are you to threaten me with the


    Charles was aware of how powerful Tobias was, and he knew Tobias was involved in all kinds of


    business, including controversial ones.


    He was afraid to fall into Tobias'' trap, but he was even more terrified that Tobias would get rid of him.


    He steeled himself and responded with a wry smile. “I''ll do anything as you say then, Mr. Ford.”


    Skr once again took a nce at Charles and thought how cruel Tobias was and felt a pang of guilt.


    I''m sure Avery would rather die than marry Charles.


    After Charles had left, Skr ordered the waiter to remove his cup right away. She was disgusted by


    how filthy the man was.


    She took a sip of her tea and asked Tobias casually, “Are you really going to kill him if he chooses not


    to marry Avery?”


    Tobias grinned and answered, “It was a joke. Can''t you tell I''m a kind man? Do you really think I''m


    capable of killing him?”


    It was hard to tell if Tobias was telling the truth.
