Chapter 642 Your Sister In Law
Although Skylar was poor, she was more carefree and easily satisfied. Eating a packet of chips would make her happy for the whole day.
Skylar smiled at the memory. “We can't go back to that time, but we're still young. There's no need to be too sad.”
Penelope grabbed Skylar's hand as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw. “I don't have many chances left, Skylar. The redevelopment project is my last chance. Can you talk to Tobias about it? My parents promised if I can get a part of the old manor, I can sell it and use the money to start up a business. I'll make so much money that Brayden will regret leaving me.”
Skylar's smile faded a little. “I heard that the redevelopment plans are already out. If we change it again, the construction progress will be affected. Furthermore, it isn't easy doing business nowadays. Since you don't have any experience or connections, how are you going to make Brayden regret given that his business is so large-scale?”
Penelope looked up at Skylar and said, “You just don't want to help me even though we've been friends for so many years...”
Skylar knew that Penelope wanted to meet her because of the old manor. Although she didn't want the old manor to be demolished, there was nothing she could do to change Tobias' mind.
However, everyone had been pressuring her about it as if she could affect Tobias' decision.
Skylar didn't say anything else. Penelope left in anger but knowing that Skylar was in a difficult position, she returned to the shop again. “You're the only person who can help me now, Skylar. My life is a terrible mess and all I need is an apartment. Is it too much to ask?”
Skylar sighed.
“I'll try my best to help you, but please don't blame me if I can't get you what you ask for.”
That night, Tobias didn't come home because he went to Salinsburgh on an emergency business trip. There was an urgent matter that he needed to deal with personally.
