Chapter 34
She knew too well that she would not be able to take back her money by herself, considering that Jeremy was so shameless.
Jeremy said embarrassingly, “A used car isn’t worth much. I’m not lying. How about I give you an IOU?”
Skylar was overjoyed as she could use the IOU in case they went to court in the future. It was a long game.
“Forget it. Just don’t pester her in the future. I’ll just treat the money as my donation to charity.”
Tobias finally spoke, so loud and clear that it crushed Skylar.
She widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. “What are you talking about? I got you to help me ask for money, not to give it away.”
Feeling as surprised as she was, Jeremy could not hide his triumphant smile.
He then said politely, “I’ll leave Skylar to you then. You didn’t mention your name, by the by. I can assure you that we’ll definitely not see each other in the future.”
Being materialistic as he was, Jeremy chose money over Skylar.
No longer in the mood for food, Tobias announced, “I don’t have any appetite, so I’m leaving.”
He then picked up the coat from the back of the chair, got up, and left.
Jeremy breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling lucky that he ran into such an idiot.
Skylar ran after Tobias and called his name, but he ignored her.
Upon coming out of the restaurant, she spread her arms and stood in his way to stop him. “Is there anything wrong with you? It’s three million. Why did you ask him not to pay back?”
Her perfect plan was ruined by him.
He lit a cigarette and looked at it while saying with a chilling tone, “So you used me like a tool? You’re the first to have the nerve to do this to me.”
Skylar was anguished. Jeremy must be so happy to have got off so cheap.
She replied, deliberately trying to provoke Tobias, “You’re such a coward! Are you afraid that Jeremy will retaliate against you?”
“You’re right. I’m so scared, so I don’t want the money anymore.” Tobias smirked.
It rendered Skylar speechless as Tobias obviously did not play by the rules and embarrassed her on purpose.
The next day, Jeremy was taken away from the university by a few men in black and got dragged into a black minivan.
“Mr. Lane, we meet again,” A mean voice of a man was heard, causing him to tremble.
Tobias, who had always been vengeful, let Jeremy off so easily yesterday merely because he wanted to remind Skylar not to play games with him.
More importantly, he didn’t want her to get so much money that easily.
As someone so cunning, she might just disappear into thin air once she got the money. The contract was not enough to tie her down.
She thought she would surely get her money back, but in the end, she was still just a paper tiger.
Tobias needed Skylar to be impoverished and to only rely on him so that things would still be interesting.
As for the black card, it had been bound to his phone number, so he could see every transaction that Skylar made.
So far, he had not received any text regarding the card. What good self-control she has. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Why did you bring me here? Didn’t you say that I don’t have to return the money yesterday?” Jeremy wanted to get out of the car but was stopped by the burly men in black.
“That was yesterday. But I’ve changed my mind today. It’s all very normal, right?” Tobias replied nonchalantly.
Jeremy, who initially thought that he had escaped, pleaded bitterly, “Let me go. I’ll definitely not pester Skylar anymore. I swear to God. Come on. Be reasonable.”
