Chapter 108


    Skr would save herself from the trouble of arguing with Laura. As it was already past noon, she


    wondered about the progress with what Tobias was doing.


    She was a little worried. Hence, in the end, she took her coat from the sofa and hailed a cab to Wesley’s


    house.


    As soon as she stepped in, Skr heard Sharon’s crying. She whimpered as she said, “My daughter is


    only twenty years old. Her life would be ruined if she is married to such a scumbag.”


    Wesley agreed and said, “We didn’t ept this three hundred thousand at will. Skr’s opinion was


    sought and she agreed to it.”


    Tobias sat on the sofa like a host and looked at the couple shedding their tears indifferently.


    Seeing as Skr came in, Sharon finally stopped crying. She looked at Skr as though she had just


    seen her lifesaver.

    “Skr, you’ve finallye. Quick, go and talk to Mr. Ford. He wants Eva to marry Jackson. How can


    that be?”


    Skr turned to look at Tobias with amazement. He seems to know our background very well. He’s even


    aware that I have a cousin, Eva.


    Talking about this cousin of hers, she was only younger than Skr by a few months. Yet, she had been


    Skr’s nightmare since young.


    Eva had always been that child that everyone couldn’t stop praising. She had been performing very well


    academically since young. In addition, she was very pretty. Therefore, everyone in the neighborhood


    liked her very much.


    After high school, she was admitted to one of the renowned universities and Meredith always talked


    about how promising a youth Eva was and how well Uncle Wesley and Aunt Sharon had raised their


    child.


    Sharon was crying so hard that even her eyes turned misty. Never would she have thought that such a


    good marriage arrangement would turn out this way.


    The man brought home by Skr was actually Tobias. No one would have expected Skr, who usually


    looked dispirited, to have such great capabilities.


    Neither did they ever dream of a titan like Tobias visiting such an ordinary family as theirs.


    Skr turned to Tobias with an inquisitive look.


    However, Tobias turned to face the couple with a calm expression. “Aren’t you two extremely satisfied


    with this marriage arrangement? Then, isn’t it good that I’m making your wishe true? It’s okay if you


    don’t agree with this marriage. I’ve heard that the productivity at the factory where the both of you have


    worked isn’t satisfactory. Maybe it’s time toy off a batch of workers.”


    There was only one word popping up in Skr’s mind right then— sinister.


    Tobias was threatening Wesley and Sharon. He knew all too well what it meant to them to beid off by a


    state-owned enterprise and he was trying to cut off their financial resources.


    Wesley looked like he would be kneeling down before Tobias any second then. He was sighing and


    looking at Skr with his pleading eyes, signaling her to speak for them.


    Skr took the opportunity to state her condition. “You return the three hundred thousand to the Zimmer


    family and I have no other requests.”


    Both Sharon and Wesley were reluctant about the money so none of them spoke in a while.


    Tobias lit up a cigarette unhurriedly. Then, he ced it between his lips and exhaled a long puff of


    smoke.


    “It’s okay if you don’t want to return the money. It’s not a huge sum after all. Call your daughter back and


    focus on preparing for the wedding in the meantime. I’ll get someone to guard your house in this period


    until the wedding day.”


    Skr stared at Tobias’ Adam’s apple, which was moving up and down, and she was at a loss for


    words. This man can cause chills to run down others’ spines by just sitting there in his mostposed


    and cid face.


    This move of Tobias is brilliant and entirely ruthless. He’s making them opt between their jobs and their


    daughter.


    If Eva doesn’t get married to Jackson, their entire family will be living on air.


    “Skr, I’m your uncle. Is this how youe against me?”


    Skr raised her eyebrows and replied, “I didn’t do anything though. Uncle Wesley, wasn’t it you who


    said that getting married to Jackson Zimmer is a blessing? I’m only opening up this great opportunity to


    someone else.”


    She was well aware that her Uncle Wesley would never really agree on this.


    Tobias looked at Skr from a distance and found that she had recovered pretty well. Not even a wee bit


    of her looked like that overly pampered girl lying in his armsst night.


    Sharon took out a passbook from the wardrobe. Even her hands were trembling which just showed how


    unwilling she was to return the money.


    “Three hundred thousand is only dirt in your eyes. Why must you trouble some poor people like us?”


    The burning cigarette’s end was reflected as a tiny red spot in Tobias’ eyes as he chuckled softly,


    “Poverty and ignorance are corrted.”
