Chapter 14


    In the meantime, Jeremy watched as the stranger approached them, his Audi eclipsed by thetter’s


    ck Maybach.


    The man was tall, and his face was as cold as ice. With a gaze as sharp as the wind in a winter night, his


    aura was too imposing.


    Jeremy thought the man was a casual passer-by until he stopped in front of Skr.


    “Come with me once you’re ready,” the man said, his voice silvery.


    Skr’s eyes widened at Tobias. What is he doing here?


    “She’s my girlfriend,” Jeremy proimed. “Why does she have to go with you? We’ve been together for


    seven years.”


    Sneering, Tobias cast a sidelong nce at Jeremy and thumbed his nose at him.


    Skr was in a quandary. Caught between Jeremy and Tobias, she felt as though there was a ball of


    me burning in her chest.


    But in order to get away from Jeremy, she simplytched onto Tobias’ arms and looked at the former


    ruthlessly. “We’ve broken up, remember? Don’t ever show up in front of me again unless you’re gonna


    return the money. Don’t think that you can run away from this. I’m gonna keep my eyes on you until the


    day you spit it out.”


    Her actions had Jeremy bbergasted; never did he expect Skr to move on so soon.


    Given her status, he wondered how she acquainted herself with such a person, who seemed like a big


    shot.


    “You’re doing this on purpose just to upset me, aren’t you? I’m not feeling well, so you can’t do this to


    me.” Jeremy clutched at that piece of cloth before his heart, holding on tightly to Skr’s suitcase.

    Right then, she released her grip on Tobias’ arm.


    “Do you have no respect for yourself?” Tobias piped up with his piercing cold voice, thinking that she was


    about to run back to Jeremy.


    Unexpectedly, Skr shed a charming smile at Tobias. “I’m not a woman who’d stoop so low.”


    Jeremy, simrly, had thought that Skr had gone soft until she pointed at the suitcase and said, “Give


    me back my suitcase.”


    The man refused to let go, but when his eyes met Tobias’, his grip loosened unconsciously.


    There was something about thetter’s gaze that made him trembled.


    Taking back her suitcase, Tobias and Skr walked towards the Maybach. Then she heaved the


    suitcase inside the trunk without receiving any help from the former.


    Skr was smart to get into the passenger’s seat this time.


    “You b*tch,” Jeremy cursed, kicking the curb as he watched the ck Maybach drove away. “You


    cuckolded me while I was sick. Just you wait.”


    “188 Lincoln Avenue, please,” Skr said once they exited the neighborhood. “You can stop me by the


    road if it’s inconvenient for you.”


    “Your Uncle Wesley probably wouldn’t wee you,” Tobias said straightforwardly upon hearing that


    familiar street name.


    Gifted with a photographic memory, he remembered reading from the documents that Flynn had


    gathered about her. Lincoln Avenue was where she had stayed with Meredith, but was now upied by


    her Uncle Wesley and his family.


    Skr gasped in surprise, a chill wafting across her body. “How did you know that’s my uncle’s house?


    Did you do a background check on me?”


    “Why not? Who knows if you have an ulterior motive foring to mypany today.”


    Skr pinched the bridge of her nose. “Does that mean I should suspect you for having an ulterior


    motive when you show up in front of my house in the middle of the night?”


    At that, Tobias’ lips quirked up in a half smile. This girl sure knows how to talk.
