Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 771

Before Miranda left, she even promised Skylar and Tobias she would return their capital invested along with the interest earned when she received her dividends.

Skylar tried calling out to her mother, but the latter pretended not to hear her.

With no one else to vent her anger on after her mother left, Skylar could only release all her frustration and rage on Tobias. No matter how filthy rich he is, he shouldn't help an evildoer even though the person is my mom. It's precisely this reason that indirectly makes me feel like I owe him yet another million.

The cup of coffee that Tobias brewed had turned completely cold, so he poured the remaining cup into the sink. “Just let her take the money. Your mom's personality is exactly like yours; both of you will stubbornly insist on your ideas. She won't give up if I don't give her the money. It's not a bad thing to spend a million and buy her a life lesson that teaches her money isn't easy to earn.”

Finally, Skylar understood Tobias' intention. He wanted to use the situation to teach Miranda a lesson. However, she still thought that the lesson was way too expensive.

She then took out a pen and a piece of paper and said in a serious manner, “Let me write you an IOU. I don't have much money right now, and I don't know when I can make a million to return to you.”

Once again, Skylar was drawing the lines with Tobias. However, he remained calm, having grown accustomed to Skylar treating him like an outsider.

Since the very beginning, she did not seem to regard him as a family member. She always liked to keep their matters clearly divided, afraid of being seen as taking advantage of him.

Initially, he was quite upset about it, but over time, he learned to put himself in Skylar's shoes and understand her perspective.

It's not strange for her to behave like that. After all, we're two separate entities by law. Since we're not married, why should she treat me like family? She's not even my legal wife, to begin with.

After writing the IOU, Skylar signed and dated it, then passed it over to Tobias.

She even devised a detailed installment plan outlining how she was going to repay the money, putting it down in black and white. Her goal was to pay back one hundred thousand on a monthly basis, but if she could not earn that much, she would delay the payment to the following month.

Tobias kept the IOU. It's good to put some pressure on Skylar. In this case, she would feel a sense of urgency and be more motivated to work.
