Chapter 449


    Skr put the bags on the shoe rack as she took off her shoes. It took a while for Penelope to gather her


    thoughts before she weed her friend.


    She put her baby down in the crib and quickly came over. Skr spotted the breastmilk stain on her


    clothes and even noticed she reeked of an unpleasant smell.


    “You don’t look good. Have you been resting?”

    Penelope had been shouldering the burden quietly ever since she gave birth to the baby. When she


    finally saw Skr again, incipient tears welled up in her eyes as she buried herself in Skr’s arms.


    “What should I do, Skr? I really should’ve just listened to you. What should I do with the kid now?


    Brayden refused to give me a single cent. What should I feed the baby with? I’ll never meet another man


    again…”


    Skr patted her on the back and tried hard not to cry. “You have to get yourself together. Since you’ve


    brought the baby to this world, you’ll have to take up the responsibility.”


    Tears streamed down Penelope’s cheeks as remorse overwhelmed her.


    She bit her jaw and told herself that she would make sure Brayden paid for what he did.


    “Skr, I want to get into the entertainment industry. Could you help me?”


    Skr was shocked. Penelope’s request came out of nowhere. Skr thought she would ask for money,


    but she asked for something else instead.


    “You know how hard it is to survive in showbiz. Why did you want to get in the game?”


    Penelope looked at her with determination glistening in her eyes. “I need money. You’ve earned so much


    just after a short time. Could you help me, please? I know you have some connections. I really need to


    start anew. I will make sure Brayden regrets what he did to me.”


    “Yes, I do know some people, but that’s not enough to help you start a career in the industry. Even if you


    really get it, you have no experience. Besides, you’ll also need time to recover before you can start


    acting. Being an actress is not as easy as you imagine it to be.”


    A sad smile spread across Penelope’s face as Skr dissuaded her. “Do you still remember what you


    promised me? You said you’ll go through the worst and best times with me.”


    Of course, Skr remembered what she said.


    Back then, Penelope paid for her rent using her own savings after Skr was chased out by her uncle.


    A friend in need was a friend indeed. Skr knew she owed everything to Penelope, so she finally caved


    and promised to discuss the matter with her manager.


    Penelope held her hands tight and nodded. “I know you’ll be able to find a way. I simply have to get my


    act together. I will make sure those people who look down on me get a taste of their own medicine.”


    Skr could feel her pain. Anyone in Penelope’s shoes would do the same.


    Skr shifted her gaze and looked at the baby behind Penelope. “Aw, look at her! Isn’t she cute? She’s


    chubby like a marshmallow!”


    The gloom on Penelope’s face faded once Skr mentioned the baby. “I know. She’s just so adorable.


    You and Tobias should also have a baby too. It doesn’t matter even if you guys break upter on. I’m


    sure Tobias is much more responsible than Brayden. He’ll take care of the child.”


    The smile on Skr’s face became rigid. “Don’t be too sure. He doesn’t like kids. I bet he’s gonna find


    them annoying and troublesome.”


    “I don’t think so. Someone has to take over Ford Group eventually, so I’m sure he’ll want a kid. It’s just a


    matter of who he has a child with.”
