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 hadit 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 replace anyone whois 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 herselfuntil now. She can't even save herself, not to mention helping me withthis.”

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

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

However, she couldn't always be so shameless to take everything fromTobias. Claudia looked down on her, so she would definitely thinkSkylar was a materialistic woman if she found out about it.

But that was not the thing that she should be worried about it for thetime being. She squinted her bright eyes. “Can you help me to replace outwho kept lending Kevin money? For some reason, my instinct tells methat someone purposely set the trap for him. That's why he ended up inthis state. Moreover, did you notice his girlfriend's accessories? None ofher bag or her shoes was cheap. I've never heard about Kevin'sgirlfriend 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 atcoming up with excuses to protect the person who is at fault? There'sno smoke without fire. He doesn't deserve to be forgiven as long as hewas the one who made a mistake.”

Tobias’ words made her feel uncomfortable. How could he tar the entirefamily with the same brush? What does he mean by that? Is my familynothing 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 thinlips got closer to her. “Can you stop treating me like a stranger? Let medo something for you. Have you thought this through? If you don'taccept my offer, the house will be put up for sale. Don't regret it ifsomeone 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 notyoung anymore. They can't possibly be renting a place to live in thefuture. That place is their house.”

Skylar was so naive. Tobias found her rather silly and adorable. Shethought 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, youruncle and aunt will do anything for their son, even if it's meant to takethe blame for him. Unfortunately, they are only destroying him bydoing so... And what makes you think they will be homeless? Yourmother would certainly take her brother in.”

Skylar squeezed Tobias’ hand so tightly to the point where her veinswere bulging from the back of her hand. She could formed a vividimage in her mind.

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

As a sister, Miranda loved her brother very much. She would definitelygo 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, whatam I supposed to do? I don't know if I should help him or not. Nowonder your mother would look down on my family. This is indeedquite annoying.”

Tobias smiled faintly and said, “Relax. Just keep this money and quicklybuy over the house first. Actually, you have nothing to lose but ownanother property under your name. At least, it would solve the mosturgent problem. As for where Wesley will be staying in the future, it'sreally up to your mother now. After all, it won't affect your everydaylife.”

In the end, Skylar accepted Tobias’ card in a confusion. She couldn'tthink straight at that moment.

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