Chapter 481


    Well, I can’t think of any other possibilities for that other than this being the doing of the Joneses. After


    all, they want to drag my reputation through the mud without tarnishing the reputation of the Jones


    Family. And it just so happens that I’ve got to attend a charity g tonight. If I guess correctly, I’ll


    definitely be the center of attention there, with reporters hounding me.


    “So, this is the kind of woman you fancy?” udia, who just had a change of attitude toward Skr, was


    presently foaming at the mouth.


    Tobias himself had only learned about Skr’s scandal having spread like wildfire overnight moments


    ago. As such, he could understand why she was so worked up.


    After all, the elderly believed everything they read. No matter how shrewd udia was, she still sent him


    some asinine news every so often, such as ims that cotton candy was made of cotton and how Coke


    couldn’t be drunk with Red Bull.


    “The news is fake. Considering Skr’s personality, she would never pick on someone else. Besides,


    her mother’s affairs have nothing to do with her. She’s also a victim,” he mollified.


    “Hmph! You’re always defending her! I don’t quite believe in her character,” udia huffed. “Say, how is


    she better than Tanya? s, luck wasn’t on Tanya’s side. She went off her rocker, and she couldn’t tie


    you to her with a child either. If it weren’t for the ident back then…”

    At the thought of that, she became dispirited. How greatly had I sinned in my previous life that everyone


    has grandchildren, yet I’m still all alone here in this huge mansion?


    Sick of her nagging, Tobias interjected, “There’s a charity g I’ve promised to attend tonight, so I won’t


    be having dinner with you.”


    Only then did udia remember about the charity g, and it was an event that Tobias was only


    attending because of her.


    Nheless, she felt that the hefty sum he donated every year was also for his benefit since it would


    amass blessings for himself.


    When Tobias arrived at the venue, he skipped walking down the red carpet since he wasn’t a celebrity.


    And even if the organizer had wanted him to do so, they didn’t have that much sway with him.


    He went straight up to the VIP seating on the second floor. Before he came over, he learned that Skr


    would also be attending the event tonight.


    After her scandal broke out, he didn’t call her tofort her at once because he felt that she should be


    aware of what she would face in the future since she had chosen this path.


    When he lifted his hand, his assistant immediately handed him a pair of binocrs that enabled him to


    see the red carpet clearly.


    That night, Skr wore an emerald-green evening dress with balloon sleeves. Such a dress was very


    demanding on its wearer, necessitating a slim figure and a tall stature.


    Nevertheless, Skr’s slim and tall built fit the bill perfectly.


    As for her hair, the stylist put it up. However, it appeared rather awkward since it was too high.


    Her stylist had an emergency, so Kate got someone to stand in. Thus, she was borrowing


    Amelia’s stylist.


    The moment Skr entered Tobias’ line of sight, the corners of his mouth lifted.


    Haha, her appearance today reminds me of a huge crown of broli! Of course, she’s still beautiful, but


    it seems rather strange.


    Thanks to her scandal, all cameras swung in Skr’s direction and started shing away as soon as she


    made her appearance.


    In the face of the frenzy, she merely smiled cooperatively. When she went in, she took a seat on the sofa


    where her name was written.


    A long sofa seated three celebrities. Largo was one of her seatmates, while the other was a currently


    popr actress, Faith Halliday.


    Largo sat in the middle, and he handed a ss of wine to Skr. “Are you okay? I told you long ago that


    you need someone backing you up when you’re in the entertainment industry. What are you nning to


    do now? Whatever it is, don’t affect the viewer ratings for Empyrean Sword. I don’t want the audience to


    boycott the movie because they hate the female lead.”


    He spoke in a mere whisper, afraid that Faith would overhear him.


    Meanwhile, Skr pinned her gaze on the stage. At that moment, the host had already started


    introducing the items that would be auctioned that day.


    Unlike previous years, the charity g was switched to a charity auction that year. And everything that


    would be auctioned was provided by the families that required financial help.


    The uing item that was going to be auctioned was a teddy bear.
