Skylar furrowed her eyebrows in response. Before she saw the earliermessage, she could still trust him. However, now that Idania had comein between them, her trust could only be earned if he blocked Idania.With a resolute gaze, she asked, “Can you show me your phone? If sheisn't feeling well, she can look for someone else instead of complainingto you in the middle of the night.”

Tobias snapped, “Don’t think that this is absurd? Have I spoilt you? Youare making a fuss over nothing. There's nothing going on between us.It's up to you whether you believe it or not.”

Skylar stared blankly at Tobias’ silhouette as he left. She had expectedhim to react badly to her actions.

However, she didn't imagine that it would be to that extent.

Having watched both of them quietly, Madelyn cleared her throat andcasually commented, “Throughout my years of working as a maid, Ihave seen such cases one too many times. Men always behave this way.But, I admire all their wives for tolerating it. As long as they receivedtheir monthly allowance, they would turn a blind eye to their husband'sinfidelity and live their lives in denial.”

Skylar was still staring intently in Tobias direction while suppressing theexasperation in her heart.

Cognizant that making a big fuss would be detrimental to theirrelationship, she chose to restrain herself. Nonetheless, Tobias stilllooked at her as if she was crazy.

He really doesn't know how to spoil a woman at all.

Skylar retorted, “Why must I live in denial? I ended up in this situationprecisely because I did that previously.”

Since Tobias wasn't going to block Idania, she decided to act decisivelyby meeting the “pitiful” lady herself. Given that she knows Tobias has agirlfriend, why must she seek comfort from him in the middle of thenight?

Meanwhile, the posters that Skylar had shot for Gucci had been put upin all their branches. In it, she was dressed in period-style spring wearmatched with a maroon-colored wig. The inspiration for her makeupwas from medieval palace courts. Accentuating her features, helped herexude an air of old-world charm and nobility.

Standing in front of the posters, Avery clenched her sleeves and grittedher teeth.

She couldn't stand how someone who couldn't afford Gucci had nowbecome its regional spokesperson.

Meanwhile, Charles emerged behind her breathing heavily. Without theneed to look, Avery knew it was him the moment she smelled theintense body odor he emitted.

Holding her nose, she turned around in resentment. “Why can't you puton some cologne before you come and see me. The stench you'reemitting is absolutely disgusting.”

Raising his flabby arms, Charles smelled his armpit. “It's not as bad youmake it out to be. I have spent a week at the detention center andforgot to bathe before I came.”

Avery was utterly disgusted. If not for Charles, she would have neverknown that men were capable of being so filthy.

However, that's why he is compatible with Skylar. After all, birds of thesame feather flock together. When he ambushed her during one of herevents, both of them looked perfect together.

The more Avery thought about it, the more she felt Skylar had gottenoff too lightly compared to a famous scandal some time ago.

Back then, a famous actress was kidnapped by mobsters. They tooknude pictures of her and took turns to sully her. Furthermore, the wholeprocess was caught on video. Twenty years later, one could still replace iton the internet.

The actress was devastated after the incident. Later on, she committedsuicide at home by overdosing herself as she could no longer bear thehumiliation.

If only Skylar and Charles could be put together. As the image of bothof them flashed across her mind, Avery couldn't resist but smile in glee.Just as Charles was digging into his burger, Avery rolled her eyes athim. She had bought him lunch but didn't order anything herself. Shehad lost her appetite just by looking at his face.
