Chapter 109


    Tobias added with disdain, “You’re quick to sell Skr for barely three hundred thousand. Why haven’t


    you ever thought about improving your rtionship with her? The perks you might have gotten now that


    Skr is together with me should exceed far beyond three hundred thousand, don’t you understand?”


    Realization suddenly dawned on them. Wesley and Sharon could never be more regretful in their life.


    The wealth Tobias possessed could even rival that of a nation and he was a known spendthrift. Thus,


    what he could give to Skr was unquestionably greater since rich men like him would easily spend


    millions just for a wristwatch.


    Then, in front of Skr, Sharon made a call to Lily to cancel the wedding and return all the money to her.


    Even from this side of the phone, Lily’s loud and irritable voice could be heard clearly. “What’s going on?


    My son has since locked himself up in his room after returning homest night. Isn’t it toote for you to


    mention canceling the wedding now?”


    Wesley grabbed the phone and spoke aggressively, “Cancel means cancel! That’s for the well-being of


    my niece.”


    Skr was relieved. Meeting Tobias’ eyes, she realized with him around, any difficult situation could be


    easily solved and she would never have to endure it alone.


    Coming out of Wesley’s house, Tobias took her in his arms and his deep voice came from beside her ear.


    “I can unravel all kinds of mess for you so just rx and stay by my side. I don’t require much from you


    as long as you behave and listen to me.”


    Skr asked in response, “What kind of a rtionship is this?”


    Tobias replied gently, “You can treat me as your boyfriend. It’s up to you how you want to treat it.”


    “I don’t know. I can’t answer you for now. I was already preparing to spend the rest of my life alone.”


    Skr was at a loss.


    Tobias gave her a faint smile. “How old are you? You sounded like someone who has seen through the


    temporality of life. Anyway, there is certainly some progress since you’re not so firm on your stance


    anymore. That leaves me with some hope.”


    Tobias could surely meet up to all women’s fantasies about men. He was good-looking, mature, wealthy,


    assertive and possessed the charisma that a mellow man should have.


    Skr was clear about the fact that Tobias couldn’t give her the sense of security she needed. He was


    just like a sweet dream that one had to wake up from eventually.


    You can never really get into a circle where you don’t belong. At the end of the day, you’re only shaming


    yourself and making it difficult for others.


    Tobias said that he was starving so Skr followed him to the shopping mall nearby.


    The assets and properties of Ford Group were everywhere in the city. Even a shopping mall they found


    at random was owned by Ford Group.


    When they passed by the gship store of Hermès, Skr didn’t even care to take a nce inside.


    Her reaction intrigued Tobias.


    “Isn’t it the case that all women like bags? Don’t you want to go in and have a look?”


    Skr looked at her reflection on the ss and mocked at herself, “With my financial status, even if I


    carried Hermès, people would regard it as some counterfeit products so why should I waste the money?


    I might as well just buy a counterfeit one.”


    Tobias could somehow understand Skr’s consumption view. Different upbringing would contribute to


    the different consumption views of individuals.


    She might still be clueless about the extent of satisfaction he could provide her. To Tobias, money was


    merely a number.


    All the women who had been together with him would barge into Hermès store as soon as they saw it.


    And then, very subtly, they would express how much they liked the bags or other products within.


    He took Skr’s hand and sped his fingers tightly around hers. “You’re always carrying this backpack


    around wherever you go. Others would probably think that I’m dating a high school girl, and that makes


    me look so much older.”


    Skr held on tightly to the backpack in her hands. It was actually a present from Jeremy.


    There was a discount at the Nike store back then and it cost less than two hundred. It was the most


    expensive bag she had ever had till then.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    It was Skr’s first time entering a luxury retail store. In the past, even if she passed by, she wouldn’t


    even dare to stop a little longer at the door.


    Just as they stepped in, Tobias’ phone started ringing. He pointed towards the store’s exit and told Skr


    that he needed to answer a call.


    Skr nodded and with that, Tobias left, leaving her alone in the Hermès store.
