Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 136

Indeed, Thomas did not disappoint Skylar. At the end of the day, he only called her here because he needed her help.

“You’re talking to the wrong person! We already broke up,” she lied.

Avery stood up and argued, “I clearly saw Tobias send you back last night. Stop beating around the bush and just admit that you don’t want to help the family.”

Right then, Skylar recalled Avery saying that she wished to reconcile with her. It looks like she can’t keep up the act anymore.

“Fine, I’ll get straight to the point. I’m not a part of this family, so I’m not obligated to help you. Also, you overestimated my importance to Tobias. Do you really think he’d immediately come to your aid with just a word from me? This isn’t playing house.”

Thomas’ face darkened in response to Skylar’s candor, but he had to suppress his rage and stop himself from lashing out at her.

“Are you just going to watch me go to jail? You’re still my daughter after all.” He played the family card again.

Skylar shrugged her shoulders. “I’m fine with that. I have a murderer as a mother, so having a father who’s placed behind bars is nothing.”

As Thomas’ chest heaved, he felt like he could explode at any moment.

Skylar walked to the door to take off the shoe covers when the phone in her bag rang. She knew who it was without needing to look. It was an exclusive ringtone she had set for Tobias, but her phone hadn’t rung for a whole month since then.

While taking off the shoe covers, Skylar picked up the call. “Still not done yet? I came to pick you up. I’m outside now.”

Skylar didn’t expect Tobias to come and pick her up since he said he would be busy. If the Joneses saw him, she feared that Thomas would shamelessly voice some conditions that were to his benefit.
