    Chapter 709 Suffered Some Financial Losses


    Upon hearing that, Skr was left speechless. The mental image that surfaced made her feel uneasy.


    She imagined herself lying in bed, with tubes inserted throughout her body, her consciousness limited.


    A ring of servants encircled her, tending to her needs with the utmost care, treating her as if she were a


    precious creature.


    She even pictured how Tobias would enter the room with his new girlfriend, briefly give her a tour, and


    then depart.


    While Skr was staring absentmindedly out of the car window, Tobias raised his hand and gently


    patted her head. “Stop allowing your imagination to run wild. Focus on something positive instead. You

    spend too much time online, either engrossed in such matters or watching that male streamer.”


    Skr''s heart skipped a beat when she heard what he said. She asked, “How did you find out about


    that? I just thought he was engaging and humorous.”


    The descriptions were inplete contrast to Tobias'' personality, as the man always had a stern and


    unsmiling demeanor, appearing exceptionally intimidating. Since I''m not engaging and humorous,


    maybe she was just seeking a way to entertain herself.


    Tobias dropped Skr off to where her director was, as she would have to take part in the uing


    movie promotion unconditionally.


    The film''s premiere turned out to be a disappointment, with a dismal attendance rate.


    “The Bad of 1978” would only have a chance to be popr if there was ack ofpeting movies


    at the time of release. Yet, it was scheduled to be released during the holiday season, squeezing into


    the holiday season''s film lineup.


    Skr could not help but wonder what the film crew was thinking and where they found such


    unwavering confidence.


    After unbuckling her seatbelt, Skr contemted giving Tobias a hug to express her gratitude for the


    ride. However, she noticed Ingrid within her line of sight at that moment.


    Pointing toward the three o''clock direction, Skr said, “Aren''t you gonna say hello to your sister?


    She''s right there.”


    Tobias shrugged his shoulders indifferently. “Why should I? We''re not close.”


    Skr abandoned the idea,ing to the realization that there was no sibling bond between them.


    After all, they did note from the same mother.


    Skr had no insight into Avery''s married life either, nor did she have the time to concern herself with


    it. However, the thought of Avery getting married just like that troubled her.


    That was because, despite Avery not being entirely meless, Skr had indirectly made Avery marry


    Charles, which was akin to ruining Avery''s whole life as Skr could tell that Charles possessed all the


    characteristics of a typical abusive man.


    Nheless, since Avery had always been cunning and ruthless despite her outwardly docile


    demeanor, Charles might have a hard time taming her.


    From a distance, Ingrid spotted Tobias'' car before crossing paths with Skr in the corridor. Her eyes


    filled with disdain, and she lifted her arm to block Skr''s way. “So, Tobias brought you here?


    Impressive. You must have quite the influence to have him as your personal driver so early in the


    morning.”


    Skr knitted her brows. “He''s dropping me off since we were heading the same way. There''s nothing


    unusual about it.”


    Ingrid took every chance to provoke Skr. She taunted, “Oh, really? I heard that Ford Group is going


    to sign a contract with Saorise and feature her in their advertisements. But why didn''t Tobias consider


    you in the first ce?”


    Everyone in the industry knew about the deal between Ford Group and Saorise now.


    Skr lifted her head, a hint of arrogance in her eyes as she retorted, “Seems like you''re more


    concerned about this than my manager.”


    Ingrid could not help but find it amusing to see the jealous expression on Skr''s face. Maybe deep


    down, she''s upset that her man has chosen another woman for the endorsement.


    The promotional schedule was packed, and the director publicly imed that the box office would


    surpass one billion.


    Skr made the decision to show her support without any expectations, intrigued to see how the film


    would perform in terms of box office screenings. One billion? I''m afraid it might not even surpass the


    box office of “Bear Escapades.”


    Marcus, the producer, was also in attendance. He warmly greeted Skr and remarked, “I heard


    you''ve suffered some financial losses recently. Is that true?”
