Chapter 731 The Owner Of The Ne


    Marcus scrutinized Skr''s prideful expression and made her an offer. “I promise to let you be the


    lead actress in my next movie!”


    Skr was daunted. Marcus thought he was doing her a great favor, but she was afraid of Marcus''


    poor investment choices. If she acted in another terrible movie, she might receive a Razzie Award


    next year.


    She sighed. “I hope this is ourst coboration. We don''t work well with each other.”


    Marcus rubbed his forehead. If Skr weren''t Tobias'' woman, he''d have pursued her to see if they


    could work well together.


    He was different from Tobias, as he didn''t believe in geomancy. Tobias, on the other hand, was very


    superstitious, probably influenced by his mother.


    “I''ll leave you alone now. Someone has already taken photos of us having dinner together, so we


    will probably be a trending topic again.”


    Skr was enraged, but her anger quickly dissipated, and she smiled. “Do you really think this will


    be a trending topic? Everyone is already sick of it.”


    After some time, Skr passed the box to Tobias.


    Tobias, who had recovered from his illness, teased, “Have you finally grown up and learned to give


    me gifts after returning from your trip? It''s rare for you to be so generous. I''m slightly surprised.”

    Skr felt guilty after hearing Tobias call her stingy. Indeed, she had never thought about bringing


    back souvenirs for Tobias.


    She didn''t have many liquid assets because the majority of her assets were in the form of stocks or


    mutual funds due to Ford Group. As a result, she couldn''t afford to buy gifts for Tobias, whose


    wealth could rival that of the entire nation.


    She couldn''t afford expensive gifts, and she was afraid Tobias would look down on cheap gifts.


    Tobias opened the rectangr box and saw the gold-encrusted jade pendant on a white gold chain.


    It only took one look for him to know it wasn''t worth much as the jade pendant wasn''t high quality.


    “Why did you give me a woman''s ne? Did you buy it by mistake?” Tobias lost interest. He


    thought Skr had really matured and thought of him while she was on a trip, but this was clearly


    not a gift for a man.


    Skr shook her head. “No. Marcus passed it to me. He said you might recognize it. Do you know


    who this ne belongs to?”


    Upon hearing that, Tobias refused to even cast another nce at the ne. He tossed it into the


    trash can beside the chair.


    Skr looked at him in surprise. She bent down to retrieve it from the trash can, as Marcus was still


    the owner of the ne. She had only passed it to Tobias so that he could take a look.


    If Tobias was going to throw it away, she could return it to Marcus.


    “Why are you picking it up? Get up. You''re not allowed to pick it up.” Tobias'' tone was cold. Skr''s


    hand trembled, and she froze in ce.


    She straightened up and asked Tobias, “Do you know the owner of the ne?”


    Money or women were most likely the causes of discord between the two brothers, turning them


    into sworn enemies. However, Skr didn''t dare to make a generalization because Tobias and


    Marcus had aplicated rtionship due to them being half-brothers. It would be inappropriate to


    say they had a strong brotherly bond.


    Skr could tell that Tobias'' attitude toward Sheldon waspletely different from his attitude


    toward Marcus. Tobias was much nicer to Sheldon.


    Tobias leaned against the window, lowered his head, and lit a cigarette. “Sort of, but not really.”
