Chapter 83
Tobias nced at Avery from the corner of his eye and inly remarked, “Your sister imed that you
went on a date and gave her the clothes. Furthermore, you asked her toe and apany me. Is
that what happened?”
Avery pleaded with Skr with her eyes, hoping that she would help confirm the lie.
Skr shrugged her shoulders. “I didn’t say anything. Besides, I’m not a pimp. Why would I arrange
ladies for you?”

Avery’s expression changed drastically. If looks could kill, Skr would probably be dead.
Avery sobbed, “Skr, how can you do this to me? You’re denying everything you’ve said to me?”
Skr watched as Avery continued with her act. Even her fake cries sounded more coquettish than sad.
In front of everyone, Tobias put his hands around Skr’s waist and moved his lips close to her ear. “Go
ahead and tell the truth. There’s no need to hold back in front of me.”
Skr shook her head. “I don’t know what happened. I put the box on the table and when I returned, it
was gone.”
Avery’s face turned pale as Skr didn’t even help her one bit. To her, it was the ultimate betrayal.
She swore that she would never leave Skr in peace till the day she died.
Tobias stared at the ashen-faced Avery. “Ms. Jones, stealing is not right.”
Biting her lip, Avery replied meekly, “I didn’t steal it. It’s all just a misunderstanding. I’ll pay for the
clothes.”
Tobias turned to Skr and asked, “How do you think I should handle this?”
The animosity between Skr and Avery had reached the point of no return.
Skr clearly remembered how over the years, Avery would cause trouble for her at every turn.
As they stared into each other eyes, she could see how pitiful Avery looked.
“Let her go.” Even Skr didn’t expect herself to say those words.
When the time came for her to be firm, she wavered.
She was clear that if something happened to Avery, Thomas would never forgive her.
It was also impossible for Tobias to protect her forever. When things went back to the way they were, she
would be a nobody.
She knew she shouldn’t go too far as now wasn’t the time for revenge.
As if she had received a pardon, Avery thought that she had escaped what would be Hell of Earth, given
how ruthless Tobias was.
She prepared to head to the washroom to get changed.
Tobias called out to her in a deep voice. “You really look good in it. Since you like it so much, you should
wear it back to your dorm and let everyone admire how pretty you are.”
Sheldon gave Avery a sympathetic look. “Just go. If you wait any longer, you might not even get to keep
what you’re wearing.”
As Avery emerged at the hotel entrance in her sexy lingerie, it attracted a lot of onlookers.
In fact, a lot of them were teasing her with wolf whistles. Some even brought out their phones to take
pictures.
Meanwhile, only Skr and Tobias were left in the room.
When Skr looked at the time, she knew she was locked out of the dorm again for the night.
“Why are you so easily bullied? I gave you the dagger to stab your enemy but you couldn’t even keep it
in your hand.” Tobias gave her a pensive look.
From how she treated Avery, Tobias could see that deep down, she was really weak.
From a rational point of view, Skr and he were not reallypatible. Hence, their rtionship wouldn’t
last long.
If he were really going to be with Skr, she would need to strengthen her mental fortitude as she would
have to face innumerable problems.
“You don’t understand. Sometimes, I really don’t have a choice.” Skr shuddered in the face of Tobias’
mockery.
Tobias didn’t look surprised as he put a hand in his pocket. “If I were you, I would definitely not let her go.
She has been forcing you into submission for so many years. Why don’t you vent your frustrations for
once? You have to seize the opportunity when ites.”
Skr frowned with a solemn expression. “Of course I would want to vent if I had the power to do so. But
now, I’m finding it hard to even make ends meet, let alone seeking revenge. I can’t just rely on you
forever.”
