Everyone in the private room was dumbfounded upon witnessing the scene. This crazy woman must be
courting death.

At that instant, Tobias grabbed Skr’s arm and took her out of the room.
However, Skr was so drunk that she kept muttering barely coherent words. “You l-liar. T-That money
was to save a life!”
Tobias, on the other hand, felt that this woman was vile to the core, using liquid courage to scam him.
But he wasn’t surprised either. After all, that night in the operating room, she had asked for an increase
at the veryst minute. I gave her three million instead of the three hundred thousand she requested, but
she’s still not satisfied!
She didn’t even waste a minute and came over here! She’s been real busy, I see.
Along the corridor, when Cam saw Tobias dragging a delirious Skr out of the room, her face
nched with horror.
For Tobias, ending someone’s life was as easy as killing an ant. After all, life was worthless in his eyes.
Thus, she hurried over in panic, knowing what Tobias was capable of. “Mr. Ford, I’m not sure what
happened, but Skr here is our new recruit. She’s still young and ignorant, so please forgive her.”
Tobias nced coldly at the manager, his lips parting as he spoke, “This has nothing to do with you, so
get out of the way. I’ll be taking her away right now.”
Nheless, Cam replied tentatively, “She’s only a promoter. Mr. Ford, we have many girls here.
Please allow me to introduce you to a few of them.”
The moment Tobias spoke, the air seemed to thicken with a sense of oppression. “There’s no such thing
as ‘only a promoter’ here. Since she’s an employee here, she should’ve been prepared for this day.”
In the meantime, Skr was sitting unabashedly on the ground as her stomach churned. A few strands
of her disheveled hair were stuck to her lips as she hugged Tobias’ legs, refusing to let go. “Liar. Isn’t it
enough that you f**ked me up so bad? Huh?”
Hearing that, Cam eximed in shock, “Are you crazy, Skr? Do you know what you’re saying?”
Tobias’ Adam’s apple bobbed as if he was trying to control himself from doing something.
Clenching his fists, he said to Cam through gritted teeth, “Bring her purse over. I’m taking her away
tonight!”
The man was well-aware of the rules in Elysium. It was clearly stated that taking a girl’s purse meant
taking the girl herself.
Stupefied, Cam watched Skr being roughly hauled up by Tobias. He then lifted Skr’s chin and
smiled mockingly at her. “I’ll give you the time to tell me in detail just how exactly I f**ked you up.”
Already gone off into the deep end, Skr red menacingly at Tobias. “I’m not going anywhere with
you. If you wannae at me, juste at me here, Mister!”
Tobias’ gaze darkened a fraction. “How much money do you want this time? Name your price and stop
pretending to be innocent.”
Skr met Tobias’ intimidating gaze head-on, slurring when she said, “If I actually liked you, that’ll be
free of charge! But now? Hah! In your dreams.”
Cam was paralyzed to the spot and didn’t dare to interfere anymore. If she got on Tobias’ bad side, it
would be the end for Elysium.
Meanwhile, Tobias’ eyes turned even colder, and there was also a hint of impatience in them. “Do I look
like a man with good self-control?”
Skr sobered up quite a lot upon hearing this.
As he pushed open the door of the private room, Skr winced from the stabbing pain in her wrist
caused by his bone-crushing grip.
Then he gestured at the men and women in the room. “Out. All of you.”
At his sinct order, everyone scrambled from their seats and scurried off, not daring to stay a second
longer.
After that, Tobias ordered his bodyguard, Samuel, to guard the door and stop anyone froming in.
Within half a minute, Tobias and Skr were the only two people left in the room.
Freeing her hand from his tight grip, Skr staggered backward. “What are you doing? Were you
serious?”
Regret filled her immediately, gushing in like waves. Why did I have to say all those things to provoke
him when I knew he’s capable of doing anything? Skr, you dunce, good job agitating the devil! It’s not
like you haven’t experienced it before! Memories from that night in the operating room emerged in her
mind, sending a shiver down her spine as ice spread through her veins.
Tobias’ gaze fell on Skr’s face. Glimpsing the fear in her eyes and the slight tremble of her lips, he
could tell that she was afraid.
Every inch of him screamed danger. When Skr saw his hand move, panic seized her and suffocated
her.
There was no room for escape, but she had solemnly vowed never to do it again. Even if her life
depended on it.
On that night, she had already been utterly debased.
Tobias pushed her down onto the coffee table just then. The moment Skr’s back came in contact with
the cold marble b, using the same trick, she reached out for a bottle to smash it on Tobias’ head.
Of course, she was no match for him. He clutched her wrist, and just like that, the bottle fell into his hand.
Skr’s eyes widened upon seeing Tobias holding the bottle, and she screamed in fright.
Everything happened in a sh. She thought Tobias was going to smash it on her head, but after a long
time, the impact never came. Instead, the bottle was gently ced beside her, and the weight pressing
on her body was abruptly gone.
“Putting up a fight at every turn, I see. You’re bold, I’ll give you that. But just how many lives do you have
to spare?”
Skr recovered from her shock and met his eyes.
“If you’re short of money, why don’t youe under my wing? After all, I was still your first, Ms. Jones.”
Tobias looked like apletely different personpared to the brutal and aggressive man just now, as
his features had softened to exude a gentle aura. Nevertheless, the words that came out of his mouth
ruined his gentle image.
He’s still cruel and cold-hearted as always!
Skr was ashen-faced. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ford, but even if I die poor, I wouldn’t want to
have the slightest involvement with you.”
At that point, she did not dare to ask for money anymore. All she wished was to get as far away as
possible, lest the devil im her life.
Tobias’ lips slowly arched into a smile that was slightly mocking. “Fine. I won’t force you.”
Following that, the man left the room, and Skr waited until she could no longer hear his footsteps
before exiting. The moment she emerged, Cam, who was still in shock, cried out, “Skr, you almost
ruined Elysium. Don’t you know who Tobias Ford is?”
Like a deted balloon, Skr said listlessly, “Who he is has nothing to do with me. By the way, can I get
themission for the sales today, Cam? I need to pay the medical fees at the hospital tomorrow.”
Cam looked at Skr and couldn’t help but think she was the world’s biggest idiot. “I really don’t
understand you. You haven’t even married into the family, but here you are, struggling to pay for your
boyfriend’s bills. Once he’s all cured, he’ll dump you for sure. What are you gonna do when that
happens?”
After the scare caused by Tobias, Skr was already pale with fatigue. She forced a smile and said,
“That’s impossible. We’ve been together since junior high. A rtionship that long won’t fall apart so
easily. He said that he’ll marry me once he’s discharged from the hospital-”
Her phone rang at that moment. It was her best friend, Penelope Quinn. She raised her phone, telling
Cam that she had to answer a call.
As soon as the call connected, Penelope’s voice was so loud Skr thought she had identally put her
on speaker. “Skr, I saw Jeremy buying a bag for a girl just now. And it was a Hermes bag! Since when
is he so rich?”
Surprised, Skr replied, “It can’t be. You must be seeing things. He’s still hospitalized, so how could
you have seen him buying a bag?”
“For God’s sake, Skr, I have 20/20 vision. I’m telling you—it was him! Besides, do you think I can’t
recognize Jeremy? He was even wearing his hospital gown underneath his coat. Who else could it be?”
Penelope answered withplete certainty.
