Chapter 581 The Grudge

Tobias ran out of patience and his voice turned cold, “You may leavenow. But remember, if I don't see your brother's clarification post onTwitter tomorrow, I'll have someone email a letter of dismissal to you.Alternatively, you may also pack your things and leave in advancetoday.

“Hey, have you heard? Skylar's cousin brother is in trouble. However,she decided to turn a blind eye and not help him. She owns a Hermésbag, yet she's so calculative. I believe karma would hit her when sheleast expects it.”

“I don't blame her though. It'd make sense for her to spend wisely asshe didn't grow up in a wealthy family.”

“She seems to have a bad personality. I mean, not to mention herappearance, she looks like a pretentious person. I bet she probably putson an innocent act whenever she’s with her fans.”

Skylar was welcomed with rumors about her as soon as she arrived atthe filming set. Her assistant, Hannah overheard the crew whisperingamong themselves about Skylar and decided to spill the beans to her.However, Skylar ate her meal calmly in the motorhome. She wasunfazed by their words.

Hannah was enraged and said, “Skylar, why don't you say somethingabout it? Perhaps a post on Twitter? They're saying an awful lot aboutyou and I can't stand it anymore.”

“Relax, I've always been the queen of scandals and I'm practicallyimmune to it. There's no need for me to clarify myself, someone elsewould do the job. Besides, the paparazzi aren't dumb. They'd probablyhave caught many pictures of him hanging out by the cybercafé andunderground casino all day. Would that convince the public that he wasseriously ill? Furthermore, I would seem like a selfish person if Idenounced our relationship now. How would I also face my relatives?”

I have a feeling Kevin wasn't the one behind this, so I wonder whowould it be? If the culprit was Eva, then she was a terrible sister indeed.She didn’t weigh the consequences that might inflict upon Kevin.

The public may sympathize if it was the truth. In contrast, they won't letone off easily if it was for clout.

She threw the leftovers into the trash can, touched up on her makeup,and participated in the opening ceremony to bless the shoot.

Hannah was admiring the opening ceremony for Pretty Detective nextdoor. She was very impressed with their setup. Even the roast lamb thatthey had for the ceremony was visibly larger than the one in Skylar'sfilming set had.

Skylar noticed that this filming crew was low on budget. Everythingfrom its filming location, costumes, and filming crew wereincomparable to Empyrean Sword.

I can't bear to do anything else right now. I just want to take a nap inthe motorhome. She rubbed her temples and yawned tiredly.

Hannah noticed how tired she was and asked, “Are you sick? Look atyour dark circles, even a few layers of concealer won't do the trick tocover it. You have to stop staying up all night, or else you'd getnasolabial folds.”

Skylar yawned once again, “Well, some crazy guy has been calling mylandline at midnight every day. It's like I'm in a horror movie, Saw. Ithink you'd know about that movie. Every time I pick up the call, theother end would let out a cold laugh. So, I unplugged the landline lastnight, thinking it would be a peaceful night but my phone rang atmidnight. Damn it, I have no idea who this crazy guy is.”

The heater in the motorhome was on, yet Hannah shivered as she couldfeel cold chills going down her spine.

She widened her eyes and said fearfully, “Do you think it could be someobsessive fan of yours? I've heard of scary stories where they'd hideunder your bed. Hence, I think it'd be best to be careful.”

Skylar couldn“t bear with the thought anymore and replied, “Whoknows? But, I've got someone to check the number. However, it turnedout to be an internet call. Nonetheless, I have a mahogany ax hiddenunder my pillow. It helps ward off evil spirits, but only time will tell,right?”

Unfortunately, Tobias hasn't been home but I'm very thankful to haveMadelyn around in the house. Yet, she had become rather nervous eversince the calling incident occurred.
