In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 578

Skylar was stunned. At first, Tobias suggested selling the house. Then, he asked Skylar to not interfere with his plan. It seemed like Tobias had it all planned out.

She stared at the dark blue bank card. She shook her head and sighed. “Huh, I don’t want to use your money. Besides, I can’t find anyone who is reliable. I know that I don’t have many friends, let alone a best friend. Penelope is my one and only friend. But she has been in trouble herself until now. She can’t even save herself, not to mention helping me with this.”

Looking at how disappointed Skylar was when she said that, Tobias said generously, “If that’s the case, I’ll take care of it. I’ll transfer the house to your name later. Don’t worry. Wesley won’t notice it.”

Still, Skylar shook her head. Indeed, Tobias’ offer sounded so tempting to her. There was no way she could refuse it.

However, she couldn’t always be so shameless to take everything from Tobias. Claudia looked down on her, so she would definitely think Skylar was a materialistic woman if she found out about it.

But that was not the thing that she should be worried about it for the time being. She squinted her bright eyes. “Can you help me to find out who kept lending Kevin money? For some reason, my instinct tells me that someone purposely set the trap for him. That’s why he ended up in this state. Moreover, did you notice his girlfriend’s accessories? None of her bag or her shoes was cheap. I’ve never heard about Kevin’s girlfriend before. What if he mixed with the wrong friends?”

Skylar sounded like she was trying to defend Kevin.

Tobias snorted scornfully. “Don’t you think your family is really good at coming up with excuses to protect the person who is at fault? There’s no smoke without fire. He doesn’t deserve to be forgiven as long as he was the one who made a mistake.”

Tobias’ words made her feel uncomfortable. How could he tar the entire family with the same brush? What does he mean by that? Is my family nothing but trash in the eyes of the Ford family?

Skylar put the bank card back to where it was.

Tobias pulled over at the side of the road where no one passed by. Then, he turned off the engine.

He unbuckled his seatbelt and raised her chin with one hand. His thin lips got closer to her. “Can you stop treating me like a stranger? Let me do something for you. Have you thought this through? If you don’t accept my offer, the house will be put up for sale. Don’t regret it if someone bought it over.”

Skylar looked away to avoid Tobias’ gaze. His gaze was always sharp, giving her a lot of pressure.

She said stubbornly, “Uncle Wesley won’t sell the house. They are not young anymore. They can’t possibly be renting a place to live in the future. That place is their house.”

Skylar was so naive. Tobias found her rather silly and adorable. She thought others would naturally care about the same thing as she did.

“Parents will do anything for their children when they are desperate. This is the common weaknesses of every parents. On top of that, your uncle and aunt will do anything for their son, even if it’s meant to take the blame for him. Unfortunately, they are only destroying him by doing so… And what makes you think they will be homeless? Your mother would certainly take her brother in.”

Skylar squeezed Tobias’ hand so tightly to the point where her veins were bulging from the back of her hand. She could formed a vivid image in her mind.

She could imagine Uncle Wesley and Aunt Sharon moving into the villa that she had spent all her savings for. She had to take care of the entire family every single day from then on.

As a sister, Miranda loved her brother very much. She would definitely go soft on Wesley if he started shedding tears in front of her.

It would be such a terrible and sad scene.

Skylar was close to having a mental breakdown, she said, “Then, what am I supposed to do? I don’t know if I should help him or not. No wonder your mother would look down on my family. This is indeed quite annoying.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Tobias smiled faintly and said, “Relax. Just keep this money and quickly buy over the house first. Actually, you have nothing to lose but own another property under your name. At least, it would solve the most urgent problem. As for where Wesley will be staying in the future, it’s really up to your mother now. After all, it won’t affect your everyday life.”

In the end, Skylar accepted Tobias’ card in a confusion. She couldn’t think straight at that moment.

She finally got to experience how outstanding Tobias was as a boss. He was so good at brainwashing.
