Chapter 135


    Skr seemed to remember Avery telling her that Thomas was going to cook her favorite food, so she


    scanned the food served on the table.


    None of these are my favorite food. It had been years since shest shared a meal with Thomas.


    She pulled out a chair and sat down next to Irene, who looked at her as if she were a thorn in her side.


    When Irene caught a whiff of Skr’s perfume, the sneer of her face was apparent. “Since when did you


    start using perfume? Have your standards be higher after being with a rich man?”


    Skr raised her brows. “I’m about to film soon. I need to have a little ss, don’t you think? Besides, it’s


    only perfume. There’s no need to kick up a fuss about it, is there?”

    Thomas cleared his throat, reminding Irene to keep her thoughts to herself as they had more pressing


    matters at hand.


    Now that they seeded in getting Skr here, they had to seize the opportunity to ask her for Tobias’


    help.


    “I haven’t congratted you yet. I heard that you’re going to start filming. For a freshman, that’s very


    impressive, which is more than I can say for Avery.”


    Avery was extremely upset that Thomas wasplimenting Skr at the expense of her pride. In spite


    of that, she had to endure it for the sake of her dream sports car.


    On the other hand, Skr was very modest. “It’s nothing. I only passed the first round of auditions. There


    are still many uncertainties.”


    “How are things between you and Mr. Ford? Good, I presume?” Thomas finally broached the topic.


    “Fine. We’re just friends,” Skr replied.


    Hayden sneered, “Dumped so soon? Dad, I told you it was a mistake calling her over. She can’t even


    help us.”


    Thomas red at Hayden, but thetter didn’t think he said anything wrong. Dad is blinded by his


    desperation to save the business, so much so that he turned to Skr for help. But what the hell can she


    do to help?


    Skr smiled with amusement. “You tricked me intoing here because you need Tobias’ help? In that


    case, I’ll have to disappoint you because contrary to your belief, I’m not that close to him.”


    Thomas really couldn’t tell whether Skr was speaking the truth or not.


    “Skr, I genuinely want us to be closer. We’ve been estranged for so many years. Give me a chance to


    make it up to you. I owe you so much as your father, too much.”


    Thomas gazed at Skr with benevolence gleaming in his eyes. He even offered her a smile, which was


    a first for her.


    Even though Skr had always craved parental love, she wasn’t moved by his words at all. Her heart


    had long since been shattered and could no longer be pieced back together.


    “There’s no need to make up for anything, but if you insist, then the best way is to leave me alone,” she


    said nonchntly as she remained obstinate.


    Thomas knew that something like this couldn’t be rushed either. Now that she was with Tobias, he


    regretted not realizing Skr’s potential back then. Even if Tobias were only fooling around, Skr would


    undoubtedly be known among his usual crowd.


    Forced to suppress her irritation and cooperate with Thomas, Irene ced her ss heavily on the table


    to vent her frustration.


    Skr didn’t have an appetite even though Thomas had prepared a scrumptious meal. Hence, she


    picked up her bag and prepared to leave. “Enjoy your meal. I’ve said what I wanted to say. I’ll be leaving


    now.”


    Seeing that Skr was leaving already, Thomas panicked and finally blurted out, “Can you help me just


    this once? I need to meet Tobias. Ourpany is facing a problem, and Tobias is the only one who can


    solve it. If you don’t help me, I might end up getting entangled in awsuit. I’m still your father, Skr.


    You can’t turn your back on me.”
