Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 230

The last time she saw him in school, he looked like he had been living on the streets, despite the expensive fur coat on his shoulders.

I wonder where all that money went…

Penelope buried her face in her hands in despair. “What do I do? I won’t be able to return the money in time… “

“Have you called the police?”

“I did, but the police didn’t seem to care. I told them about it a long time ago,” Penelope said.

Suddenly, Skylar’s phone buzzed, and she took it out of her pocket.

She tapped on the new message from Tobias to read its contents.

Tobias: I’ll be home at seven tonight. You’re cooking

Skylar glanced at the clock on the wall and sighed when she realized that it was already past six o’clock.

How the hell am I supposed to rush back and cook for him in less than an hour?

She put down her phone without replying Tobias and turned to Penelope again. “I just received two hundred thousand from the movie. Take it and use it to pay your debt,” she said as she pulled out a brand-new bank card and handed it to Penelope.

Penelope took the card without hesitating, obviously frightened by the scare tactics the debt collectors have been using.

“I’ll make sure to return you the money as soon as possible. I’m so sorry for all the trouble, Skylar,” Penelope said, lowering her head in shame.

“It’s fine. I don’t have a lot of friends to begin with, so I have the obligation to help you,” Skylar said through a mouthful of pasta.

Penelope looked up all of a sudden. “Your Aunt Sharon is going crazy over your mom’s habits, you know. She’s complaining about her to every neighbor she bumps into, but she’s nothing compared to your mom.”
