Chapter 129


    “Zoey is my friend’s younger sister. I’ve been taking care of her since her brother passed on a few years


    back. We were rather close, so he requested for me to look after her. Is this exnation clear enough for


    you?”


    That sounded like an old trick in the book to Skr. However, she knew she would seem petty if she


    continued to dwell on this matter, so she forced out a smile. “I think she likes you. Her gaze seemed


    suspicious,”mented Skr.


    She was a Scorpio, and they were known to possess strong intuitions on top of being meticulous.


    Tobias replied coldly, “Look, kid. There are many women out there who are infatuated with me. Does that


    mean I have to be their lover? I can’t dictate how others feel. All I can do is control my own


    feelings.”


    Being referred to as a kid irked Skr. How is it possible that no woman can resist his charms? Being in


    a rtionship with him means that I’m bound to torment myself over the possibility of him cheating.


    Moreover, he’s the kind of guy who won’t even bother to update you on his whereabouts or send you


    sweet nothings every minute.


    Skr didn’t bother probing further. The only thing she could do was to deal with the problem when it


    actually urred.


    Instead of returning to the hotel with Skr, Tobias hailed a cab to send her back to school.


    At the entrance of the school, Skr bid him farewell. “Don’t bother sending me. It’s a long journey from


    here.”


    He ced his hand on her shoulder and kissed her cheek. “I’ll apany you. What if you run into a


    lusting young man and he drags you into the bushes?”


    That sent a chill down her spine as she knew that he was not spouting nonsense.


    When she first entered the school, she had heard of an incident where a senior who was jogging was


    dragged into the bushes. She was then raped and murdered. Unfortunately, the culprit got away scot-


    free and remained atrge. Whenever the incident came up in conversations, students would be


    consumed by fear.


    “You’ve heard of that incident too? I didn’t expect that,” Skr teased.


    He frowned slightly and replied, “The victim was my brother’s ex-girlfriend. We offered a handsome sum


    to catch the killer but to no avail. So it’d be better for you to be wary. I’ve installed a GPS system in your


    phone as well.”


    She was taken aback. I didn’t expect Sheldon to have such a past. I guess he isn’t that sentimental after


    all. His girlfriend has just passed on and he’s already gotten himself a new one.

    Tobias kept Skrpany until they reached her doorstep. All of a sudden, a dark figure jumped out


    and startled Skr. Her instinctive reaction was to dive into Tobias’s arms, to which he responded by


    holding her firmly.


    When she realized it was Jackson, she heaved a sigh of relief. He hadn’t shown up in a while, but his


    incessant text messages were enough to irritate Skr.


    “No wonder you called off the wedding. It’s true that you have someone else.” Hoping to reconcile with


    Skr, Jackson had been waiting since five o’clock with arge bouquet of fresh flowers in his hands.


    However, never did he expect to witness her holding hands with another man who even gave her a peck.


    Tobias resisted the urge to scoff at the fool who held a bouquet of flowers in his hands. That’s sost


    century. I can’t believe he’s still out here giving girls roses.


    Skr responded, “I never nned to marry you. It has always been your wishful thinking. We’ve already


    returned your family the money. What more do you want?”


    Although her tone was gentle, she was actually doing her best to suppress her fury. She could hardly


    contain the urge to expose Jackson and his misdeeds.
