A bulky, bald man had broken past the security line and picked her upas easily as he would pick up a baby chick. He pressed his puckered lipsonto Skylar's face.

In the midst of all this chaos, Avery nearly doubled over with laughter.“See? I told you there'd be a good show today! Tobias must be fumingover his girlfriend getting forcibly kissed by someone like that in frontof so many people!”

“You're such a tease, Avery.” Idania hid her chuckle behind a hand. “Youcan't do this next time.”

“Look at her face! It's all contorted with disgust! She looks horrendous,”howled Avery, wiping her tears away with one hand.

Elsewhere, Tobias was watching everything happen with a darkexpression on his face.

Chills ran down Susan's spine when she felt a murderous aura emanateoff of him.

All she could do was pray for Skylar's wellbeing. The woman was avictim in this situation, but there was no way Tobias was going to let heroff the hook so easily.

Skylar, still in shock, watched as the overweight man was dragged offthe stage by several bodyguards. Taking several deep breaths to calmherself down, she took a tissue and wiped her face, but her smile frombefore was no longer present.

She took a sip of her water and swallowed her disgust back down. God,I want to go home and take a shower. I want to forget that all of thisever happened.

However, she put on a bright smile and saw the event through until thevery end.

Afterward, she was escorted back into her car with the help of severaladditional security guards. She couldn't replace the strength in her tomuster even a glance at any of her fans, no matter how hard they weretrying to get her attention.

Once the car doors were closed, the first thing Skylar did was pull out apack of wet tissues and rub her face fiercely.

She vaguely registered Kate going on and on angrily about how thesecurity guards at the mall were all useless. She rambled about theconsequences that could have occurred if the man had been holding aknife, and so on and so on.

“These are some things you'll have to get used to as a celebrity,” shecomforted Skylar. “Don't dwell on it too much or develop any sort oftrauma because of this, okay?”

It was too late for that; the memory of that man rushing towards herflashed in Skylar's mind whenever she closed her eyes. “That wassickening. How could so many security guards fail to stop just oneperson? I swear I'm never coming back here. God, I think his body odortransferred onto me.”

Kate furrowed her eyebrows. “Do you know whose mall this is?”

“Who cares? I don’t want to come back here.”

“It's a mall registered under the Ford Group. Tobias is the big boss ofthis place. Don't be too stubborn, alright? Besides, photos of theincident are already on the internet, and that guy should have alreadybeen arrested.”

Skylar did a double-take. It was just her luck that Tobias was somehowinvolved in this mess as well.

“The Ford Group has nothing to do with me. It will never have anythingto do with me,” she huffed. “I'm going to go home and scrub at my skinuntil I'm completely exfoliated. Maybe I should take a bath as well...”Kate knew Skylar was a smart girl who usually saw the big picture. Thatwas why she was surprised to learn that the latter was not consideringmarrying into the Ford family.

After all, marrying Tobias was the dream of countless female celebrities.
