Chapter 437


    Impatiently, Largo threatened Avery, “I have no objection if you want to drag me down with you. I don’t


    care if you’re the heir to apany. I’ll see to it that you’ll never be able to set foot in the entertainment


    industry ever again. If you think you can take me on, then go ahead. I’m warning you. Don’t bite off more


    than you can chew.”


    Avery looked at Largo fearfully. He towered over her and the cruel expression on his face made his


    features nearly unrecognizable. He was aplete stranger from the man who held her so tenderly the


    night before.


    Avery broke down, shuddering sobs racking her body. However, Largo just watched her, entirely


    unmoved. He truly regretted having gotten himself into this mess.


    On the bright side, Largo was rather amused with Skr as she had helped to resolve one of Largo’s


    headaches. At least, she had gotten rid of Avery for him. That was all thanks to Avery’s stupidity.


    There weren’t many scenes for Skr to shoot that day. While being attached to the harness, Skr


    noticed that Daniel was nowhere to be seen and asked the props manager about him.


    He scratched his head, then replied thoughtfully, “Since the ident, Daniel handed in his notice of


    resignation even without the director requesting for it. I think he would have joined another filming crew. If


    I were him, I wouldn’t dare to show my face around here either.”


    Skr had someone investigate Daniel’s bank ounts. He had received a staggering five hundred


    thousand from a private ount under Hayden’s name.


    It confirmed Skr’s suspicions that her fall had not been purely idental but the work of an evil


    machination.


    She guessed that Daniel had left the filming crew out of fear that his malicious act would be revealed. He


    must have fled as soon as he could and as far away as possible.


    The harness had left abrasions on Skr’s delicate skin even through her clothing. After the filming was


    done, Skr realized that a blister had formed on her shoulder from the constant rubbing.


    By the time Skr returned to the hotel, she had almost popped it from the scratching almost every other


    minute.


    Tobias was seatedfortably in a chair when she entered the room. Propping his chin upzily with an


    arm, he greeted Skr, asking, “What were you up to this afternoon?”


    “I was filming. What else would I be doing? What about you?” Skr retorted.

    Tobias smiled, but it was clear that it wasn’t out of friendliness. “I was reading the news. They were going


    on about how you’d disappeared with the male lead for one whole hour. That’s enough time for you to


    aplish quite a bit.”


    Skr lifted her chin defiantly and looked Tobias straight in the eye. “Are you jealous? It looks like I have


    a more important ce in your heart now. At least you’ve restrained yourself from being a jerk this time


    around.”


    Tobias arched an eyebrow. “When was I ever a jerk to you?”


    Skr clenched her jaw. “You said that if we dated, I am not allowed to cheat on you physically, but I can


    stray emotionally.”


    Tobias had absolutely no recollection of having said that before. He dismissed Skr’s words with a


    sneer.


    “You were gone for an hour. That’s enough time for anything to happen,” Tobias replied menacingly.


    The tension that hung between Tobias and Skr was so thick that one could almost cut it with a knife.


    Without uttering a word, Skr gestured for Tobias to stand up. Heplied.


    Skr then invited Tobias to examine her.


    As his keen gaze lingered over every curve of her body, Skr replied boldly, “Look at me. Do I look like


    a woman with anything to hide? Do you think I’d dare to keep you waiting here while I cheat on you with


    someone else? How could you think that I’d do such a thing?”


    Tobias’ piercing gaze remained transfixed on Skr’s face, a distinct look of possessiveness and desire


    in them.


    “I’ll need to really take a good look. If there’s even a whiff of another man on any part of you, I’ll cut it off.


    Do you agree to that?” Tobias said smoothly.


    Suddenly, a loud creak came from underneath the bed.


    Both Tobias and Skr whipped around in tandem, staring at the direction from which the sound had


    unmistakably emerged.
