Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 40

Coincidentally, she ran into Avery, who was also taking a physique lesson in the classroom next door,

with two girls trailing after her.

“Avery, your necklace is so beautiful. It must be very expensive, right? It looks so good on you,” one of

the girls said with envy.

Picking up the pendant on the necklace, Avery raised her eyebrows slightly and replied, “It’s okay, I

guess. My dad likes to buy me necklaces and always buys me gifts whenever he goes on a business

trip.”

“You have a great dad who pampers you so much. Unlike my family. My dad favors my younger brother

more, so most of the good stuff belongs to my him instead.”

Avery smiled and said, “I’m his only daughter, so of course, he has to pamper me. My brothers complain

as they feel like they’re adopted, and I’m his only biological kid”

When she spoke, she held her head high proudly like a princess.

She even gave Skylar a sidelong glance when they brushed past each other as she spoke.

Obviously, she deliberately directed her words at Skylar.

Nevertheless, Skylar was expressionless and calm when she heard that Thomas pampered Avery so

much.

She had never experienced any kind of fatherly love, nor had she ever been showered with love and

attention from both her parents anyway.

She was already numb from all their ill-treatment anyway.

Her grandmother was all she had during every festive season back then.

When Wesley brought his family over for dinner, she envied her cousins as they had their parents by

their side and were showered with gifts and candies.

Afterward, she gradually lost her expectations as the Joneses’ existence no longer meant anything to

her.

When she went on to get her phone, Avery called out to her after asking the two girls to buy her some

drinks.

“Did Jeremy ask you not to tell anyone about our relationship?”

Skylar forced a smile. “Ah, you know what – it just so happens that I, similarly, didn’t want people to know

that I have a very rich and bratty sister. So don’t you worry. I’m nothing compared to you.”

Avery enjoyed Skylar’s sarcastic compliment and approached her after seeing that there was no one

around.

Instantly, Skylar took a few steps back in disgust.

“You seem to be afraid of me. That’s great. If you behave well, I’m ready to forgive you. In fact, I could

even invite you back for dinner and let Dad see you if I’m in a better mood,” Avery could not help but

snigger as she mocked.

Skylar rolled her eyes. It was a pity that Avery was not an actress as she was so good at being dramatic.

Not bother to waste another second talking to Avery, Skylar took her phone out of her locker. She wanted

to contact Tobias as she did not hear from him all morning.

She wanted to know if he had picked her mother up.

“Have you picked up my mom? Is she at the hospital?” Skylar picked at the wall anxiously with her nails.

“I’m in a meeting. I’ll contact you later,” Tobias replied in a deep voice.

Skylar tightened her grip on her phone. Without asking further, she said in a cold tone, “Alright. I’m

hanging up.”

What does he mean by that?

Without further ado, she decided to go there in person while getting herself mentally prepared to be

grabbed in a chokehold by Miranda.

Meanwhile, Avery hid in the dark and secretly overheard Skylar mentioning her mother. This b*tch really

has the nerve to come out.

She immediately texted her mother.

Now that Miranda was released from prison, it was time to settle some old scores.

After coming out of the conference room, Tobias immediately called Skylar, but she did not answer her

phone.

At the same time, Skylar had already reached the prison but was told that someone had already picked

her mother up. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Who was it?” asked Skylar.
