Chapter 410


    Tobias answered determinedly, “I won’t. I’m not turning back. It is what it is. I won’t backslide after a


    breakup.”


    Skr had kept that firmly in mind for future reference.


    Tobias must be too confident and egotistical to humble himself in front of any woman.


    Tobias gave her a cold-eyed stare, looking grim. Skr quickly finished up her free breakfast provided by


    the hotel under his eyes.


    “I called Braydenst night. He promised that he will sort things out with your friend.”


    Skr immediately stopped touching up her makeup in front of the mirror. Then, she hurriedly covered


    the lid of Chanel foundation powder and put it into her bag.


    “Didn’t you say you were not willing to deal with this kind of nonsense? Your bark is definitely worse than


    your bite.” Skr pretended to be a victim after gaining an advantage.


    Tobias said calmly, “I’m having a business rtionship with Brayden. I guess he is considered one of my


    friends.”


    As far as Skr knew, Brayden had been telling Penelope that he and Tobias were sworn friends for life


    or death. Why did it sound so different from what Tobias had just said?


    Brayden was only an acquaintance of sorts to Tobias.


    Judging from Tobias’ power and financial ability, she could easily tell who was telling the truth. Brayden


    must be bluffing.


    Skr listened quietly. It was probably the first time Tobias had revealed something about other people.


    He had always been tight-lipped. It was almost impossible to draw anything out of him.


    “I’ve brought this up earlier. Being together with him just won’t end well. People always say that one can


    be adies’ man without being despicable. But Brayden is a despicable yboy. He can easily date any


    woman that he wants. Your cousin is likely to be his next target.”


    Skr was dumbfounded upon hearing that. Penelope was looking forward to living happily ever after


    with her family of three. On the other side, Brayden was interested in Eva now.

    Eva really enjoyed unting. When they were young, she always bragged about her grades by shing


    her certificates from the semester in front of the rtives during festive seasons. At the same time, she


    would pretended to be worried about Skr’s bad grades.


    After graduation, she always loved to unt her abilities and resources. She was feeling extremely smug


    and proud of her boyfriend that she brought over previously.


    However, everything had changed since Eva joined Ford Group. She set her bar higher and became


    pickier about men. Immediately, she dumped her boyfriend and got back to single. She thought she was


    out of his league now.


    She was overly vain. As long as Brayden was willing to spend money on her, it was hard to say that Eva


    would have the strong willpower to resist the temptation.


    Skr asked, frowning, “He’s been with so many women. Can he handle it?”


    Tobias gazed deeply at her. “This has nothing to do with you. He himself should know best.”


    Skr had a worried look on her face. She didn’t care much about Eva. In fact, she was worried about


    how Penelope was going to ept it.


    Later, they walked out of the hotel. Last night was such a terrible night for Skr. She spent a night


    together with Tobias at the hotel, but it was without the warmth and romance of reunion. The feeling of a


    bad hangover was killing her.


    Her head still hurt, as if shecked oxygen. Skr pursed her lips and sat on the passenger seats.


    “There’s a dinner tonight. You need to apany me there.” When the traffic light turned red, Tobias


    gave a side nce at Skr. She looked too casual in that outfit.


    His mother didn’t like girls who dressed inappropriately. She believed that dressing well is a form of good


    manners.


    On the contrary, Tobias didn’t make so many rules. He just thought it would be better if Skr could


    dress more maturely. She was already youthful-looking. People might think that she was still a student.


    However, that was the truth. Skr was not only a student, but she was also a college dropout.


    Deep down, Skr was reluctant to attend such gatherings.


    Tobias always stood out in a crowd at any banquets.


    Business owners would give anything to be closer to him, even if it was just a word with the CEO of


    Ford Group. They would do anything to get some familiarity with Tobias.


    She asked reluctantly, “What kind of dinner is it? for tonight? Let me know the time, location, and theme.”
