Chapter 260
Eva: How is Aunt Miranda doing? Don’t worry too much. You have to trust the justice system. There’s just
some stuff that we can’t control.
Skr scoffed. If Eva was telling her to “trust the justice system”, then clearly she had already predicted
the oue of this situation. She had suspected that Eva had something to do with the police showing
up at her house, and now here she was, pretending to care about Skr.
Having nothing to say to Eva, Skr decided to ignore her messages.
It was two in the morning when Tobias finally reappeared. Skr instantly got to her feet as he walked
towards her, asking him, “What happened?”
He didn’t offer a response, instead waiting for a while until a hysterical Miranda was eventually brought
out by the police.
When the police had told her that she was innocent and free to leave, she nearly fainted from
excitement, thanking every god and deity out there for watching over her.
This was the start of Tobias and Miranda’s awkward first meeting at a police station.
He took the initiative to introduce himself by greeting her and saying, “Hello, I am Skr’s boyfriend.”
Taken aback, Miranda began rposing herself, visibly nervous from how tightly she was gripping her
skirt. “What should I call you? I am so grateful to you for getting me out of there.”
“Just call me Tobias,” he answered, smiling. “And you’re wee. I’ll be sending you home now.”
Miranda still looked apprehensive. “I won’t be arrested again, right? This whole ordeal has really taken a
toll on my weak heart.”
“As long as I’m around, you will not get arrested, so you don’t have to worry about that,” Tobias
promised.
Skr let out a long sigh of relief. Now, there was another issue for which she was indebted to him.
The chief of police walked them right to the entrance of the police station, going on and on about “having
caused trouble for Mr. Ford”.
But Tobias didn’t hold back. “I hope simr incidents of arresting innocent citizens never ur again,”
Tobias told him, tantly gaslighting the chief of police into believing that it was his men who were at
fault.
Skr and her mother got onto Tobias’ ck Ferrari.
Miranda’s eyes lit up at the sight of the expensive vehicle. Her mood had changed so abruptly, it was as
if she had already forgotten everything that happened that day.
“How much does a car like this cost?”
Skr sighed, rubbing her temples. “Mom, could you please calm down? The car doesn’t matter right
now.”
Tobias nced back at Miranda while he was driving. “Do you have a driving license, Ms. Watts? If you’d
like, I can gift the car to you.”
“Don’t. She can’t drive,” Skr rushed to stop him.
Miranda’s jaw fell open. Although she was, by all means, a metaphorical gold digger, there was no way
she could ept such an expensive gift, exining hurriedly, “No, no! It’s fine! I’ll just… I’ll just look at it.”
It was already veryte. Miranda, worried she might disturb her brother and his family’s sleep, asked if
she could stay at Skr’s for a while.
Staring out the window, Skr mumbled, “You won’t be disturbing their sleep. If anything, they’ll be
ted to see you back home.”

That was a lie. She wanted to witness the disappointment on Eva and the others’ faces.
Skr’s exnation made sense to her mother. Miranda’s brother had to be worried for her, especially
because she had been arrested so suddenly.
Tobias stopped the car by the roadside to go to a convenience store, and Skr got out with him.
“Are you hungry?” she asked.
Tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear, he shook his head. “I’m running out of some… supplies at
home. I don’t want to have to run out to get them right before we do “it”.”
Skr bit her bottom lip, muttering through gritted teeth, “Are you a demon? Don’t you ever get tired?”
Tobias enjoyed Skr’s embarrassed reaction and took pride in flustering her this way. “I’m just a man
who’s pursuing what I want. You’ve heard of the saying “there’s no such thing as a free meal”, right? I
helped you… So you have to repay me.”
