Chapter 574
Skrined that she did not sleep well the previous night, most probably because of the small
bed.
Tobias did not respond to her as he felt she wasining because she wanted to leave early. If her
sleepst night could not be considered good, then he could not imagine what a good sleep was
supposed to be.
Skr got up unusually early, and the first thing she did in the morning was checking on her messages.
Kate had been asking her about the statement Kevin published, but Skr was still deciding on how to
answer her question.
She was afraid that if she exposed the truth, Kevin’s life would be ruined for good.
She felt the need to see Kevin for onest serious talk. If he let her down once again, then she would
have no choice but to be mean and expose his lie.
By that time, Skr had dressed up neatly, and she tied her hair into a tall ponytail. It was Tobias’ favorite
style.
“Didn’t you say that you didn’t have a good sleep? Why don’t you get some more sleep?” Tobias asked
confusedly.
Skr looked somehow energetic. “I’m a guest in your house. It’s not appropriate to sleep until sote. I
won’t want any more criticism from your mom.”
Tobias caressed her hair gently. “Let’s go downstairs for breakfast then. I need to head to thepany
early today too. So will you be able to handle your cousin’s matter alone?”
Skr fell silent upon hearing that. It was such a dilemma for her as her decision would decide Kevin’s
fate.
Tobias spotted her hesitation and said in a low voice, “Sometimes we need to be selfish and know when
to draw a line. No matter how good the reason might be, we must never allow others to take advantage
of us.”
Skr was fully aware of what he said, but she was afraid she did not have the gut like Tobias.
udia had woken up earlier than any of them. When they walked downstairs, Skr greeted the former
with a bright smile.
udia’s gesture was, howeverck of warmth. “Ms. Jones, are youfortable staying here?”
Skr was stunned momentarily and responded swiftly. “Yes… everything’s great.”
The breakfast for that day was sd, French toast, and ck coffee.
Frankly, Skr was not a fan of French toast. She preferred croissants with soy milk. Besides, the ck
coffee today tasted very bitter.
Just then, Sheldon emerged from nowhere, still drunk. He wandered recklessly towards the dining table
and sat down beside udia.
Tobias put down his cup of coffee, sounded utterly displeased. “You bast*rd! When can youe home
without getting drunk?”
Skr held her breath as she was shocked by Tobias’ rage.
She took a side nce towards Sheldon. He seemed rtively unconcerned while putting some cherry
tomatoes into his mouth.
“Tobias, I went for a business discussionst night. Could you please don’t get mad at me early in the
morning?”
At that moment, Millie approached and handed a warm towel to Sheldon. They exchanged eyes for an
instant. Millie’s eyes seemed utterly sincere, while Sheldon’s was filled with disdain.
udia was trying to take Sheldon’s side, as she knew he had been trying his best. To be precise, she
had epted the fact that thetter did not have a talent for doing business. Even after he got into Ford
Group with his brother’s help, he had not shown any achievement so far.
She urged with concern, “Go and take a shower, then get some sleep. Please don’t go out to drink again
tonight.”
With that, Sheldon stood up abruptly and almost lost his bnce. Millie hurried to support him and
escorted him upstairs.
At that instant, Skr’s side-eyes spotted that Sheldon’s hand was grabbing Millie’s ass. Such intimate
gesture had once again confirmed their forbidden rtionship.
udia had lost all her appetite. “Ms. Jones, I apologize for Sheldon’s misbehavior. Let Tobias send you
home after breakfast.”
Skr smiled back courteously, pretending as if nothing had happened.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
