Chapter 52
Skr smirked disdainfully. “It’s no wonder they get to pick on anyone they want. I’ve never even pissed
them off.”
“Maybe you’re just too pretty,” Harry responded half-jokingly. “Some girls tend to be mean to those who
are prettier than them.”
Skr stuck a band-aid on her arm. There were scratch marks on her neck too, but she felt bad using up
too many of Harry’s band-aids and returned the rest to him.
It waste into the night now. Skr gazed out the window, feeling like she still had something else to
take care of.
Suddenly, it crossed her mind. Her phone was in silent mode, and Tobias had given her a call earlier.
She took out her phone and found two missed calls from Tobias.
At that, Skr hurriedly returned the call so as to not anger him.
It took a long while for the man to answer his phone.
“Why didn’t you pick up?” That was the first thing Skr heard Tobias say.
All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
“I was busy. Did you need something from me?” Skr asked while gazing at the scars on her neck
through a mirror.
“Hey, Skr, are you going to use the shower yet, or should I go first?” Harry walked out of the bathroom
and asked in a loud and clear tone.
At that very moment, Skr just wanted to die. She waved her hand in a panic, signaling Harry to shut
up.
Then, she let out a few coughs to hide her guilt. “The TV’s a little too loud. Let me lower the volume.”
“The female lead of a TV series happens to have the same name as you do?” Tobias’ voice was the
coldest it could ever be by now.
Still, Skr put on a calm act. “Really? I didn’t hear it. You must have misheard.”
“I heard everything loud and clear. Where are you? Are you sleeping around with another man?”
Sweat began to drip down Skr’s forehead. Why do I have such sh*t luck?
She could already imagine the look on Tobias’ face. The man probably wanted to kill her now.
“There weren’t enough rooms, so I’ve been assigned to share one with a guy from my ss. Don’t get
the wrong idea.”
Skr tried her best to exin herself, but in truth, even she would have a hard time believing herself if
she didn’t know any better.
In fact, the young woman wanted to tell Tobias that she had a man in her room – a handsome one at
that.
But she wasn’t ready to die yet.
“Do you think I’d believe that? Have you no shame, Skr Jones?” The way Tobias spoke could instantly
send chills down one’s spine.
Seeing how unusually pale Skr looked, Harry wanted to ask if she needed help. Yet, thedy merely
covered his mouth, reminding him to stay quiet.
“Well, there’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me. You can alwayse over and see for yourself.
Anyway, my phone’s about to die. See ya.”
With that, Skr hurriedly ended the call, feeling terrified to her bones. She couldn’t take it anymore. It
felt as though Tobias could murder her even through the phone.
Tobias pursed his lips upon hearing the cold beeping noise from over the line. Despite his eyes looking
like a pair of ciers, the man was now boiling with anger while also feeling slightly pained.
The sounds ofughter filled his ears as he walked out of the study. Tanya’s parents hade and were
busy chatting away downstairs.
Seeing Tobias finallye down, udia waved at him. “Come over, Tobias. Your parents-inw haven’t
seen you in a while.”
Tobias merely shot them a cold nce and said to udia, “I’m heading out. I have something to take
care of.”
“What could you be doing outside at this hour?” udia grumbled. “Your inws flew more than ten
hours just toe back.”
Tanya held Tobias by the arm, sounding rather unhappy. “No matter how busy work gets, there’s nothing
more important than family.”
Despite that, Tobias removed his arm from her grasp and remarked indifferently, “You can manage even
without me around.”
With that, the man left, and a cold glint shed in Tanya’s narrowed eyes.
