Chapter 755 A Jerk Can Destroy A Life


    Despite being barely able to keep her bnce, Penelope nted her arms on her hips and thrust


    her chin forward to answer on Skr''s behalf. “How can you treat Skr this way? I''ve long


    disapproved of you, Tobias. Skr and you have been together for such a long time, yet you insist


    on keeping the rtionship a secret and not giving her the rightful status she deserves.”


    The words came as a shock to Skr, who couldn''t tell if Penelope really had had too much to drink


    or was using the opportunity to raise the issue with Tobias.


    Isn''t Penelope afraid someone will use her of being a busybody when her own life is in a mess?


    Skr naturally didn''t reprimand her friend, for Penelope simply had her best interest at heart.


    Meanwhile, Tobias gave Skr a look so intense that it would send a chill down anyone''s spine. It


    was as if he was asking her what Penelope''s words meant.


    Skr simply shrugged with raised brows to proim her innocence.


    Thest thing she wanted was for Tobias to think that this was one of her tricks.


    Tobias hated it whenever someone went on a drunken rant. It didn''t matter if that person was male


    or female. When the stench of alcohol filled his nostrils, he instructed in annoyance, “Take your


    friend to the guest room.”


    Given how tough it was to support Penelope, Skr pleaded, “Can you lend a hand?”


    “What do you want me to do? Do you expect me to carry her up?”


    Penelope retorted proudly, “I don''t need you to carry me. I''m not the kind who steals my best


    friend''s man. Go unt your charm somewhere else, as it won''t work on me.”


    Despite the awkward look on Skr''s face, Tobias ended up helping to carry Penelope to the guest


    room, where Skr removed thetter''s shoes. After copsing onto the bed, Penelope alternated


    betweenughing and crying due to the effects of the alcohol. Her hair was strewn all over, and


    some even got into her mouth.

    “Get some rest. I''ll pour you a ss of water.”


    Just as Skr was about to leave, Penelope sat up abruptly and grabbed the former''s arm. “I know I


    haven''t been a good friend before this, Skr, but you''re the only one I have. Please don''t hold it


    against me.”


    The sight of Penelope triggered an inexplicable sense of bitterness within Skr. “I would never do


    that. Now, stop overthinking and let bygones be bygones. Considering how long we have known


    each other, our friendship isn''t going to be ruined by just a few words.”


    Nevertheless, Penelope refused to let Skr go as she continued to behave like a clingy child.


    “Don''t go to Tobias. There''s something wrong with the way he looks at you now.”


    Unfortunately, the message Penelope was trying to convey was lost upon Skr. “You have had too


    much to drink. Whatever it is, let''s talk tomorrow, all right?”


    Only then did Penelope release Skr''s arm. As shey back down on the bed and rested her legs


    on the nket, she remarked, “I saw it on the inte. I''m telling you, there''s something wrong with


    the look in Tobias'' eyes.”


    Before Penelope could borate further, she had already fallen asleep. Skr had no choice but to


    tuck her friend in. Even in her sleep, Penelope''s brows were furrowed as she called out Brayden''s


    name.


    Skr couldn''t help butment, “Being with a jerk can ruin one''s life indeed.”


    Despite themotion at home, Madelyn still slept like a log. As long as it wasn''t her working


    hours, she would nevere down even if the house was on fire.


    Tobias subsequently got Skr to wake Madelyn up, for Penelope had puked at their door. On the


    way back, Skr was worried that her friend would throw up in the taxi when thetter retched


    repeatedly inside. Even the driver was equally afraid of the prospect. Thus, what usually was a


    thirty-minute journey was shortened by one-third with the driver driving at breakneck speed. Upon


    alighting from the car, Skr even tipped the driver extra for the trouble.


    At the same time, Penelope did her best to hold it in. It wasn''t until she reached Skr''s door that


    she bent down to vomit. Unfortunately, the crisp evening air wasn''t enough to stem the


    overpowering stench of the alcoholden puke.


    As someone mysophobic, Tobias couldn''t stand the smell at all. Skr resigned herself to retrieving


    the broom and mop from the storeroom so that she could clean up the mess.
