In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 567

As Skylar had invested all her money, she hardly had any cash left.Pacing around frantically, she was overwhelmed by anxiety. She justcouldn't accept that there might be strangers living in her old house. IfGrandma knew about it, she would turn in her grave and accuse me offailing to protect her home.

Tobias had expected her to deal with the matter calmly. But given hercurrent reaction, he knew she had become a bundle of nerves.

He explained to her, “Your cousin's problem is akin to a bottomless pitwhich you can never fill. You shouldn't have helped him the last time asit has caused him to feel that there are barely any consequences to hisactions. Do you understand what I mean? If I were you, I would notcompromise even if his creditors tried to kill him.”

Furrowing her eyebrows, Skylar asked helplessly, “Is there really noother way other than selling the house? Why are children sofrighteningly rebellious nowadays. If he was my son, I would have givenhim a good beating.”

Tobias couldn't imagine what Skylar would be like as a mother. Givenhow soft-hearted she was, the children would definitely take advantageof her good nature.

“By selling their house to you, wouldn't the problem be solved? Afterall, haven't you always coveted their home. Now that you finally havethe opportunity, why don't you seize it? If you don’t have enoughmoney, I can help you out,” Tobias elaborated casually while Skylarwalked out of the kitchen with some snacks.

The world is just too depressing. But, I can cheer myself up with snacks.However, they will make me fat, which makes me even more depressed.Passing some of them to Tobias, she opened a bag of chips whilechecking the mutual funds she bought. However, all of them were inthe red.

If she liquidated them to buy the house, she would lose a ton of money.A few million would go up in smoke just like that.

Feeling lost, she explained her situation honestly, “I don’t have enoughmoney to buy it. Even if I did, Uncle Wesley wouldn't move out if heknows I'm the owner. He won't even change the name to the titledeed.”

Looking affectionately at Skylar's frowning face, Tobias replied with asmile, “You don't have to tell them. Furthermore, they wouldn't sell thehouse so easily too. So, there's no need for you to feel anxious as theyshould be the ones feeling the heat. Given the amount of moneyborrowed, it must definitely be from loan sharks. As they have veryharsh methods, your uncle would likely not be able to hold up forlong.”

However, Skylar began to worry that the creditors might even ask herfor the money. Just the morning itself, she had received a few calls fromunknown numbers. However, they had all been blocked by her.

She finally understood why many celebrities had to break ties with theirown siblings. Everyone treated her like a cash cow because theythought celebrities made a lot of money. Furthermore, they assumedthey were all entitled to spend it just because they were her relatives.Tobias reassured her calmly, “You had better calm down and give itsome proper thought. There will be a solution. You can't just waver andhelp him like the last time as you will end up harming him instead. If hewere my brother, I would have let him resolve it himself. In the event heis unable to pay back the money, I will let him sleep in the bed hemade.”

That was how Tobias treated Sheldon. He allowed Sheldon to dowhatever he wanted as long as he doesn't involve the Ford family.Whatever trouble he got into, he would have to deal with them himself.As Skylar munched on her snacks, her eye stared blankly in thought.The more she thought about it the more it didn't make sense to

her. How did Kevin get to know these people as he is still a student? Hemust have been targeted by someone who wanted to trick him.

But why are they interested in him? Usually, they are only interested inthose whose properties are earmarked for redevelopment. Knowingthat these people would be compensated, the scammers would ensnarethem with gambling.

After all, becoming rich overnight had caused many people to lose theirrational minds.

Meanwhile, Skylar promised Wesley that she would think about it andgive them an answer in three days. However, she still couldn't decideafter giving it a lot of thought.
