Brayden stared at Skylar, trying to figure out when did he owe her money.
Skylar then showed Brayden all the transaction records on Penelope’s phone.
“You think you can just walk away from this without paying a cent? Since Penelope started her relationship with you, you have paid nothing other than her rent. You didn’t even bother to concern yourself with all the prenatal checkups. If you want to break up with her, we have to start talking about repayment.”
“Skylar, what are you doing?” Feeling embarrassed, Penelope tried to stop Skylar.
“Be quiet. Breaking up with him will finally set you free. But you’ll still need the money to raise your baby.”
Penelope was momentarily stunned by the resolve in Skylar’s eyes. She had never seen such a look in her friend.
“Since when have you become so hard up you can’t repay your debt, Mr. Scott?” Tobias shot Brayden a glance and commented.
Brayden is not without the financial means to support Penelope. Unless he thinks that Penelope isn’t worth his time and he is so eager to invest in a “new project”, or he simply doesn’t care anymore.
Meanwhile, Brayden was still lost in sorting out all the transaction records on Penelope’s phone.
Tobias glanced at the transactions and uttered, “Thirty-two thousand.”
Skylar was in awe. She thought Tobias’ speed of calculation was comparable to that of a calculator, whereas making sense of numbers was never one of her strong suits.
She was insensitive to numbers and had always struggled with the subject of math since her school years.
Skylar then held out Penelope’s phone with her bank account number displayed on the screen, ready for Brayden to transfer the money.
It turned out that Brayden’s bank account had a daily transfer limit of twenty thousand dollars, hence he transferred the maximum amount to Penelope on the spot, and promised to clear the balance by the next day.
