Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 495

Skylar lowered her head to scroll her phone as she answered casually, “Since Cassidy is treating them to dinner tonight, I can understand why she doesn’t invite me. Besides, I don’t prefer social dining anyway. I can hardly stand it when everyone around me hypocritically pretends to be nice.”

Despite Skylar’s generosity, Hannah was still a little disgruntled. She pushed her glasses and continued, “I know it feels bad to be isolated. Imagine some people creating a smaller WhatsApp group to gossip and laugh at those who are excluded. Well, I think they will gossip about you later tonight.”

Skylar replied laughingly, “I’m mentally prepared for it. Do you think people never commented about me in the past?”

The next moment, her smile froze when she was checking the balance of her debit card.

After Hannah came closer to peek at it, she exclaimed, “How can you possibly have only three thousand left in it?”

Skylar exited the interface and explained awkwardly, “I used most of my money to buy a house. As for a hundred thousand that remains in my account, I gave most of it to my mom.”

Hannah’s jaw nearly dropped upon hearing it. After a while, she exclaimed, “Are all actresses that poor? Besides, Mr. Ford should have given you some money to spend, right?”

Skylar massaged her temples upon hearing it. She always had a headache once money came to mind.

A few seconds later, she explained, “I’m a financially independent woman. Anyway, he certainly wishes that I’ll be financially dependent on him. That was why he encouraged me to buy a house. By the way, I bought the villa with discounts.”

On the other hand, Hannah still couldn’t understand the rationale behind Skylar’s action. Since Skylar can get everything that easily, why does she put herself in trouble?

As Skylar understood Hannah’s doubts, she said pessimistically, “I have the necessary skills to make money now. As I used to grow up alone, I know how it feels to be helpless. So, I understand that I can’t count on others and have to depend on myself.”
