Chapter 417
Brayden stared at Skr, trying to figure out when did he owe her money.
Skr then showed Brayden all the transaction records on Penelope’s phone.
“You think you can just walk away from this without paying a cent? Since Penelope started her
rtionship with you, you have paid nothing other than her rent. You didn’t even bother to concern
yourself with all the prenatal checkups. If you want to break up with her, we have to start talking about
repayment.”
“Skr, what are you doing?” Feeling embarrassed, Penelope tried to stop Skr.
“Be quiet. Breaking up with him will finally set you free. But you’ll still need the money to raise your baby.”
Penelope was momentarily stunned by the resolve in Skr’s eyes. She had never seen such a look in
her friend.
“Since when have you be so hard up you can’t repay your debt, Mr. Scott?” Tobias shot Brayden a
nce andmented.
Brayden is not without the financial means to support Penelope. Unless he thinks that Penelope isn’t
worth his time and he is so eager to invest in a “new project”, or he simply doesn’t care anymore.
Meanwhile, Brayden was still lost in sorting out all the transaction records on Penelope’s phone.
Tobias nced at the transactions and uttered, “Thirty-two thousand.”
Skr was in awe. She thought Tobias’ speed of calction wasparable to that of a calctor,
whereas making sense of numbers was never one of her strong suits.
She was insensitive to numbers and had always struggled with the subject of math since her school
years.
Skr then held out Penelope’s phone with her bank ount number disyed on the screen, ready for
Brayden to transfer the money.
It turned out that Brayden’s bank ount had a daily transfer limit of twenty thousand dors, hence he
transferred the maximum amount to Penelope on the spot, and promised to clear the bnce by the next
day.
Skr had no doubt that Brayden would do as he said. After all, what was twelve thousand when his
watch alone cost tens of thousands?
She felt sorry for Penelope who was now left with a broken heart and a fatherless child.
Penelope’s eyes were filled with despondent when she turned to Brayden. “Have you ever loved me? As
long as you still love me, I don’t need you to marry me. All I ask for is that youe to visit me every
now and then. Can you do that?”
Brayden waspletely unmoved by her plea. “What we had was only a casual fling. We are not suited
for each other,” he replied tly.
Penelope let out a rueful smile upon hearing those hurtful words.
After which, Tobias left the apartment with Brayden. Fearing that Penelope might harm herself, Skr
decided to stay back to keep herpany.
“Now that this matter has been settled, you should really take a break,” Tobias said.
Brayden sighed in exasperation and said defiantly, “This woman is a nutcase and she sticks to me like a
gum that I can’t get rid of! I’m just so d that I’m finally free.”
Tobias saw through what Brayden was nning in his head. “She’s just a bit naive and foolish. Skr’s
friends are not very bright, so please stay away from Eva. She’s Skr’s cousin. I’m really not keen on
meddling in this kind of business again.”
Brayden has done his research. He knew that the cousins’ rtionship was acrimonious at best. The
man smirked and said, “Mr. Ford, are you nning to use your advantage to date both cousins? That’s
saucy.”
A menacing glint shed across Tobias’ eyes. “Don’t you ever say that again to me. Some jokes are off-
limits.”
Cough! Cough! Brayden cleared his throat without saying another word.
Just then, Skr called out for Tobias from upstairs and asked him toe back up again as Penelope’s
stomach was in sudden pain and needed to go to the hospital right away.
Despite having heard the conversation, Brayden resumed his strides downward without any hesitation.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
